Talk about a dynamic cover! The crazy poses! The incredible sense of movement! They're flying through the air at great speed! In the middle of a battle! Or a really cool dance! I actually don't know what they're doing, but I do know it looks pretty neat. Which is not surprising considering the source—Seraph has some of the most beautiful art in the world of manga. Not to go throwing 50 cent words around, but I'd even consider it "exquisite" at times. 

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

Mika and Yuichiro are still having problems deciding where to go on their most unusual road trip! Despite their differences and the amount of time that's passed, their bond still seems to be as strong as ever. Meanwhile, in the big battle a major player pulls the rug out from under everyone! Fighting the enemy is hard enough, but when you can't even trust your own team things get real dicey!

My Hero Academia

We know what happened with Midoriya and Bakugo's test, but what about the rest of the students? Well get ready for a wonderful non-main character filled chapter! Although I like the main character, I also enjoy seeing how the other students use their unique abilities. Especially the frog girl! I'm always hoppy to see her in action!

The laid back, debonair Captain General Shunsui is having a tough time with his fight. A real tough time. The strange angelic-like Lille Barro is giving him a run for his money. And even though he's unleashed his devastating Bankai, this bad guy just won't stay down. Is it the end of the line for one of Bleach fandom's favorite Soul Reapers?
