You should become a hero!! That's great advice! Especially if you have an incredible Quirk like Deku does. Of course, he wasn't born with it, and it's taken a lot of time and bodily damage for him to finally master it. At least now he's able to use it without the total destruction of his limbs. And he's on his way to becoming a full-fledged hero. It's been fun a lot of fun to watch! 

My Hero Academia
by Kohei Horikoshi

It's the fight we've all been waiting for! The pure-hearted All Might versus the dark and mysterious All For One! Good versus evil! Nobility versus cruelty! This is the stuff great superhero battles are made of! Who will prevail? 

My Hero Academia

One Piece
by Eiichiro Oda

Luffy's in trouble! He's fought all manner of villains armed with the most powerful Devil Fruit on the planet, but now he's fighting a different kind of battle—food poisoning! In a moment of foolishness, he ate a fish that has some very powerful poison running through its skin and he's jacked up! And while he's foaming at the mouth fighting to survive, the other Straw Hats are meeting some most unusual pirates...with a direct connection to Sanji! 

Takuan & Batsu's Daily Demon Diary 
by Kentaro Itani

Batsu continues to torture poor Takuan under the guise of training. It's called "Hell Training," and it's worse than anything the meanest personal trainer would put you through. Although Batsu seems to enjoy watching Takuan squirm, he's got to get a lot tougher if he's going to help her hunt down demons. But does he actually want to do that? The torture/fun continues! 

Daily Demon

Hunter x Hunter
by Yoshihiro Togashi

This fight has certainly proven one thing—Togashi Sensei's still got it! Especially when it comes to drawing insane battles with very complicated powers. So far, Chrollo has been throwing everything but the kitchen sink at Hisoka, and it's been quite an uphill struggle for everyone's favorite perverted clown. But he's not out yet! Get ready for more innocent bystander deaths! 

World Trigger
by Daisuke Ashihara

Yoko Katori's not the nicest girl at Border. In fact, she's got what you might call "a bad attitude." But she's also a very talented fighter and her teammates seem to respect her on the battlefield. If you don't like her it's understandable. But this flashback may change how you feel about this very bitter Border agent.  

World Trigger

Black Clover
by Yûki Tabata

The Black Bulls are in for a most interesting fight! It's not a real-real battle, but more of a battle-royale style test. Each of them is facing a powerful mage in an undersea cavern for the amusement of a playful high priest. Even though the fights aren't to the death, there are still plenty of sparks when dealing with magic this strong. Get some popcorn!  

Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma
story by Yuto Tsukuda, art by Shun Saeki, contributor Yuki Morisaki 

That dirty Dean Azami is at it again! He's been destroying the spirit of the students at Totsuki Institute since he first took over, and now he's unleashed yet another set of demoralizing rules! Is there any way to wrest power from this tyrant?

Food Wars

Toriko
by Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro

Oh, my frog! This manga is getting so weird! Acacia in all his gross warty glory has teamed up with Joie and is determined to destroy the planet. But Toriko and friends are against that, for some reason. I guess they don't want everyone they know and love to die! But pure determination will not be enough, they have to find a way to stop the most powerful being in existence! What will they do?!

Bleach
by Tite Kubo

It's the match-up we've been waiting months for—Ichigo versus Yhwach! Ichigo's charging in with everything he's got, but Yhwach's powers are simply unimaginable. However, Ichigo's been outclassed before and still came out on top. Can he do it one last time? Plus, some old faces appear and head to the battle. Looks like the final fight may be upon us! 

Bleach

Nisekoi
by Naoshi Komi

The quest to find Chitoge continues! Raku and Onodera have been practically chasing her all over the world! But now they're finally closing in on her location. What will Raku say? What will Chitoge say? Will there be tears? Kisses? Knees to the head? So many questions, so few answers! 

Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V
Original Concept by Kazuki Takahashi
Story by Shin Yoshida, Art by Naohito Miyoshi
Production Support: STUDIO DICE

Yuya Sakaki a.k.a. The Phantom really comes apart in this chapter! After a grueling duel, the many parts of his personality have a lively discussion to figure out their next move. This gives the phrase "talking to yourself" a whole new meaning!
