Girls! Girls! Girls! One of the nice things about running Nisekoi in the magazine is we get beautiful covers like this one! Japan's big on festivals and it looks like we're having one right on the cover. Our own Weekly Shonen Jump Summer festival! 

Nisekoi
by Naoshi Komi

Woweewow! Yui drops a major bombshell on Raku's head that nearly destroys his fragile little mind! What she says may push him over the brink. Can Raku deal with having to make an actual decision? Find out! 

Niskeoi

One Piece
by Eiichiro Oda

Get ready for some major plot reveals in this week's chapter concerning Sabo! And if I were you, I'd grab a box of tissues, because this chapter will turn even the manliest man's eyes into waterfalls! 

Black Clover
by Yûki Tabata

The battle is over, the crew is rested and now it's time for a trip to the Knights Headquarters to report on what happened. But when Asta and friends arrive to file their report, a very special person comes to meet them! Very special, indeed!

Black Clover

My Hero Academia
by Kohei Horikoshi

A major battle erupts in the middle of the city! The people are in danger! The heroes are on the scene, but there are multiple villains all with unknown powers! And the Hero Killer's mixed up in the chaos too! Looks like Deku's internship is off to one heckuva start! 

Best Blue
by Masahiro Hirakata

Aono is living out the real life version of the classic joke, "You know how to get to Carnegie Hall? Practice." He's entered training hell and his tough-as-nails coach is not letting up one bit. This is make or break time and Aono will either come out a stronger swimmer, or sink like a stone. It's all up to him! 

Best Blue

Toriko
by Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro

Things are getting weird in Toriko! Even by Toriko standards! Everybody was happy as a clam in the underwater Blue Grill until the freaks came out at night. Speaking of freaks, Komatsu meets an odd little boy who takes him in for the night to avoid the spirits that wander. But there may be more to this kid than meets the eye. 

World Trigger
by Daisuke Ashihara

In manga, and also real life, bad boys often have a reason why they're so gruff. In the previous chapter, two agents badmouthed Masato Kageura and he sliced their heads off. Well, their Trion heads. Find out why this "bad apple" went rotten! Plus, Osamu gets introduced to the squad that just might make him into a real contender! 

World Trigger

Bleach
by Tite Kubo

The assault on Yhwach continues, but one-by-one the players are being taken out. Ichigo and his group are raring to go, but they have a serious problem...they're lost! Can they find their way before Yhwach and his troops whittle the rest down?

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

Soma is still having a hard time in the Moon Festival, even if he's doing slightly better than his initial outing. He's tried everything he can think of to compete, but it looks like he's going to have to dig a little bit deeper if he's going to pull out a miracle in time. So far, people love his buns, but that's just not enough to defeat the Mapo Tofu of the Chinese-Food Society! Time's running out! 

Food Wars

Dragon Ball
by Akira Toriyama

Goku and Bulma's quest to find the Dragon Balls hits a minor snag when they meet a sea turtle with a very poor sense of direction. Goku being the helpful guy he is, offers to take the turtle back to sea, which is 120 kilometers away! Looks like their quest it taking a slight detour! As a Dragon Ball fan, these early chapters are a crack up especially seeing Bulma's reaction to Goku's ridiculous strength. Good stuff! 

Extras: Anime Expo and Comic-Con cosplay pics, Yu-Gi-Oh! Day announcement, Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon promo card offer, Toriyama Sensei Bundles, Author Comments, Nihongo Lesson.
