Summer fun in the sun! While the lazy days of summer are slowly coming to an end, there's still plenty of time for a series-crossover water fight! Aside from seeing all the characters together, it's cool to see the differences in their squirt gun technology! Is Yuma's Trion activated? Does Soma's shoot consommé? Does Toriko's squirt some kind of delicious Gourmet World spring water? I wonder!

One Piece
by Eiichiro Oda

While the battle for Dressrosa may be over, the Straw Hats are still wanted pirates. A fact that the Navy is not likely to just let stand. Will Luffy and his crew be able to outsmart them once again? Or is it time to face up to their "crimes"? 

One Piece

Blue Exorcist
by Kazue Kato

After the big battle with the Illuminati, one thing is clear—the True Cross Academy needs to get their students in shape for the inevitable battle against Satan. One of the fastest Exorcist in the West is the slightly eccentric (and sometimes slightly smelly) Lewin Light, but can he get their powers up to snuff in time to the big fight?

Bleach
by Tite Kubo

The fight between the giant arm and Mayuri gets even weirder! I guess that's no surprise considering Mayuri's one of the weirdest characters in the whole series, which is saying something, and he's fighting one of the weirdest enemies—a giant arm with an eyeball with two pupils in it. Prepare yourself for a very memorable, and funny, chapter of Bleach

Bleach

Black Clover
by Yûki Tabata

The capital is under attack! A madman with some kind of grudge has unleashed an army of vile monsters upon the masses! But who would be crazy enough to attack a city full of high-level mages? Some of the strongest in the land, in fact. We'll have to wait for answers because this chapter is all action! 

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

One-Punch Man is back! And he's got a serious problem on his hands—a monster that's hunting heroes! There's not much to go on, except eyewitness accounts by fallen heroes in the hospital. Looks like Saitama is going to have to use his detective skills. But does he actually have any?

Toriko
by Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro

A most interesting reveal in this chapter! You may have noticed Yuda often mentions being "a millimeter" off about random things. In fact, he's been doing it since early in the manga. I always thought it was just a funny quirk. Well, I was totally wrong! There's a very good reason why he says it. Find out what it is in this chapter! 

World Trigger
by Daisuke Ashihara

The Rank Wars continue! Osamu is determined to win enough matches to get trained properly in the ways of shooting. But it's not going to be easy, and the team they're going up against is one of the toughest around! Will they surprise everyone again? Or learn that they're not invincible after all. 

World Trigger

Nisekoi
by Naoshi Komi

Tachibana makes her case for Raku! Will he be able to tell her how he really feels? He's manned up and told Yui, but Tachibana seems infinitely more helpless because of her illness. Could you let a possibly terminally ill girl down like that? Could you?! Then you're a monster! Lets find out if Raku is too. I don't really think you're a monster, but I certainly couldn't do it. Maybe there's a bit of Raku in all of us. Makes ya think, huh?

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

The Moon Festival is coming to a close soon! Soma's unveiled his new crazy meatball mapo tofu noodle dish, but will that be enough to steal away the Chinese Food Society's customers? And even if they do, is there enough time to close the two-day lead they have? It's gonna be close and Soma's going need a miracle to pull it off. 

Soma

My Hero Academia
by Kohei Horikoshi

The battle against Stain continues! This has been one of my favorite fights in this series so far. I mean the tournament was cool, but when actual lives (not to mention family pride) are on the line, the battle takes on a whole new sense of urgency. And this bad guy has proven himself over and over to be far more wily then anyone has guessed. Looks like these guys need a serious Stain remover. But who will it be?

Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign
by story by Takaya Kagami, art by Yamato Yamamoto, storyboards by Daisuke Furuya

It's the reunion we've all been waiting for! After being separated as children, Mika and Yuichiro have led very different lives. Mika has been kept like a pet by the vampires, while Yuichiro has been trained to kill them. Yet they've never forgotten about each other during all this time. Well, now that they're finally back together, what will happen? 

Seraph

D.Gray-man
