It's our first Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V cover! Weekly Shonen Jump just isn't the same for me without a Yu-Gi-Oh! series running in it. And while I haven't watched the anime for this, I am intrigued by this new world. I'm especially fascinated by new dueling with solid holograms and action cards! Looks like this should be fun! 

One Piece
by Eiichiro Oda

The Straw Hats are having a hard time scaling the awesome height of the elephant that has the land of Zou on its back. Even though they've hitched a ride on a drawing of a dragon that can climb sheer cliffs, it's a long, long way up! Will they make it to the top, or do they need to find another way? Where's Karoo when you need him?

One Piece

Toriko
by Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro

The thoroughly entertaining, incredibly bombastic insanity that is Toriko keeps on upping the ante! I've especially enjoyed the introduction of Don Slime. Any character that can jump off the ocean, fly into outer space, then drop down to earth as part of an attack is okay in my book! And in this chapter, the Don continues to impress! Get ready for some cool slimy action! 

Nisekoi
by Naoshi Komi

If you're like me and you read Nisekoi for the action, this chapter is for you! I'm only half-joking, because I really do enjoy the action scenes in Nisekoi and this chapter has a really good one, with lots of great shots and well-drawn panels. Oh, there's some drama and comedy too. This chapter's got everything! 

Nisekoi

My Hero Academia
by Kohei Horikoshi

Todoroki and Yaoyorozu are starting to gel as a team. In the last chapter, Todoroki calmed down a bit and started listening to his teammate, a move that saved their buns from their homeroom teacher, Shota Aizawa. But the fight's not over yet, and he's got a lot of experience in battle, something they do not. Can they beat their teacher?

Bleach
by Tite Kubo

Last week, Captain General Shunsui unleashed his Bankai! Something we've never seen! In all 65 volumes of Bleach! That's incredible if you think about it, because we've seen so many characters' Bankai. I won't spoil it for you, but let's just say it doesn't disappoint. 

Bleach

World Trigger
by Daisuke Ashihara

More details about Hyuse and the reason he was left behind are revealed! What's more, Border agents are trying to figure out exactly what to do with him. Will they keep him, or is it "Hyuse-less?"

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

The Food Wars! fallout continues! Polaris Dorm, the slightly rundown, but beloved home of many of the up-and-coming students, is going to be closed down for good! But Soma has a plan, one that involves...you guessed it—cooking! Can a good old-fashioned shokugeki keep the place alive? 

Food Wars

Black Clover
by Yûki Tabata

Asta's been kidnapped! Just when it looked like battle was going their way, a group of strange robed mages made off with him! And his unusual magic-dispelling sword! What do they want with Asta, and who will save him? That wacky bird?

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

While waiting for the tourament to start, Saitama meets a sour-faced hero with a serious chip on his shoulder. He spills the beans on last year's strange events and gives Saitama some very interesting information. Could this tournament provide the fight Saitama's been hoping for?

Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V

Production Support: STUDIO DICE

The outlaw duelist known as the Phantom is on the move! The authorities are closing in on him, but he always seems to be one step ahead of them. Just who is this Phantom, and what are his goals? Probably something to do with dueling...but what else? 

Naruto
by Masashi Kishimoto

It's the last chapter of the Naruto JUMP BACK! These JUMP BACKs always seem to end to early for me, but this one especially so. The fight between Deidara and Gaara not only rhymes, but is one of the best in the manga. For one it shows how insanely powerful Gaara is, and also shows how powerful the Akatsuki are. Plus there are cool sand attacks and weird exploding animals!
