What a cute cover! So much Raku love! I wonder if the expression on his face correlates to what girl is holding him? He's defintiely smiling in Onodera's hands and that is the girl he seems to love the most. I asked the U.S. editor his thoughts about it, but he had none. If you have any theories, leave them in the comments field!

Get ready for a gorgeous color spread, because Nisekoi has just turned four! Congratulations, Komi Sensei! Despite Raku still not making up his mind, the story still feels fresh as ever. And the last arc has been one of my favorites. Looking forward to the next four years with this lovable bunch of lovestruck teens!

Black Clover
by Yûki Tabata

You may have noticed a couple of strange names in this chapter--Urian and Fawn. My name is Urian and Fawn is a coworker who has designed several Shonen Jump books. Why are our names in this chapter? We visited Shueisha and recorded a special SJ Podcast with some editors, one of which was the Black Clover editor! And much to our surprise, he asked for our names so he could put them in the manga! If you haven't heard the podcast, you're missing out because it's a great glimpse into the working lives of a Weekly Shonen Jump editor. Plus it includes a special message from Tabata Sensei! 

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

The Shokugeki continues! While Soma's dishes are definitely not considered high gourmet, he's been known to make simple food into something far beyond its traditional roots. But since the judges are paid off, does any of it matter? Can Soma save the dorm with his deceptively simple looking food?

Food Wars

Can an Assistant Captain succeed where a Captain General did not? And if she does, will she get a promotion? If they all survive, that is!
