art by Yusuke Murata

One of the small advantages the English language version of Weekly Shonen Jump has over the Japanese one is we have virtually text-free covers. This lets the art shine a bit more since it's not being covered with lots of words. And when we have a cover like this one with an exquisite piece of art from Murata Sensei, it makes that small advantage seem much larger. My favorite part about this specific art is that Bang doesn't even take his eyes off his ramen bowl to stop the sword! And Saitama also doesn't react. That shows you their power level is so much higher than the people behind them who are freaking out. A brilliant piece of art! 

One-Punch Man
story by ONE, art by Yusuke Murata

Monsters are attacking the city! High level villains are running amok destroying all that stand in their way! The Hero Association is helpless as the heroes they depend on just aren't cutting the mustard. But where is Saitama in the middle of all this chaos? I'll give you a hint--ever hear the song "Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting"? 

One Punch Man

Black Clover
by Yûki Tabata

Vetto, the deranged wizard from the Eye of the Midnight Sun continues his attack! Despite a very daring combo attack by two of the Black Bull Knights, Vetto is still standing and not even hurt! Can Asta do his magic by using a sword that undoes magic? Or is this guy just too tough? And where are the rest of the knights? The battle continues! 

My Hero Academia
by Kohei Horikoshi

All right, it's the final fight between All Might...and his nemesis, All For One! Reading it has been fun! All Might is a tough son of a gun! Will he knock All For One out of the park with a homerun? And I'll stop rhyming right here. This battle has been amazing and so much is on the line. The fate of the whole superhero world rests on the outcome! Prepare to be blown away! 

My Hero

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

Some major yum yums for your tum tums are revealed in this chapter! Soma has cooked up something very tasty for Erina and her legendary divine tongue! But what could it be? What crazy culinary concoction has he created for the queen of mean? You'll have to read the chapter to find out. But take my advice--don't read it on an empty stomach! 

Hunter x Hunter
by Yoshihiro Togashi

OMG.

Toriko
by Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro

I love it when Shimabukuro Sensei uses the planet for scale! The usual things people use for scale are humans, bananas or a quarter. But his attacks are so massive, the only way to truly show their power is to use the planet for scale and have the attack shown in the distance. And it works! When you see the attack coming off the curve of the planet, there's no way but to be impressed. It's actually pretty genius! And it keeps happening more and more as the fights just keep getting crazier. 

Nisekoi
by Naoshi Komi

More major reveals in this chapter! If you've always wondered what happened to Raku and the several girls who love him when they were kids, this chapter will explain everything! Including the locket with the multiple keys! Seems Raku was quite the lady's man from a very young age! Some guys, or preschoolers in this case, have it and some don't! 

Nisekoi

Bleach
by Tite Kubo

Is Yhwach trolling Ichigo? So far, Ichigo's attacks have had no effect on the king of the Quincies. And although Ichigo has the uncanny ability to transform and gain more power to defeat insurmountable enemies, he may have finally met his match this time!

Extras:  Number S0: Utopic Zexal , Author Comments, Nihongo Lesson.
