Cover
art by Daisuke Ashihara
This cover is out of this World...Trigger! Now that the anime has been announced, it seems this series is really picking up steam. And wait until you read the results of the popularity contest they did in Japan. You'll never guess who won! Hint: It is not the capybara. Unfortunately.

World Trigger
by Daisuke Ashihara
Reiji makes his stand against the mysterious, but distinguished-looking older gentleman Neighbor. He doesn't have to beat him, just delay him long enough. Is his shield powerful enough? And get ready for one heckuva cool entrance, as one of the fan favorite characters arrives in style!

Hunter x Hunter
by Yoshihiro Togashi
The second chapter since Hunter x Hunter's glorious return! And it's dense. There's so much story and info in the chapter, you'll need to set aside some time to take it all in. Or read it twice. Like I did. But you get to learn a lot more about the world of Hunter x Hunter, which up to know has been kind of vague. And you'll get to know a little more about Beyond Netero, the Chairman's mysterious son. 

Naruto
by Masashi Kishimoto
There is a really fun color spread in this chapter! If you've ever wanted to see Cell 7 dressed up as fantasy characters, this is gonna uncurl your beard! Plus, two bonus pages of Kishimoto Sensei's unfinished art, so you can see the difference. Oh, and the chapter will blow your mind too. Although this battle's had more than its share of twists and turns, get ready for more!

Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign
story by Takaya Kagami, art by Yamato Yamamoto, storyboards by Daisuke Furuya
We've been getting a good look at the inner-workings of the human side of the vampire-human war, but this chapter is all about the vampires. And some of the power struggles occur within the vampire royalty, specifically the Vampire Queen. Not to mention, why does she keeps Mika as a pet? Although the chapter answers a lot, it raises even more questions about Mika's and Yuichiro's futures! 

Bleach
by Tite Kubo
You like special attacks? With complex names? Of course you do! That's why you read Weekly Shonen Jump manga! If you've been waiting to see what Ichigo's new move is now that he's back, you are gonna dig this chapter!  

Toriko
by Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro
Toriko and crew finally make it to Hex Food World! A hidden place filled with yokai foodies! And disgustingly delicious yokai food. Like eyeball takoyaki! Everybody is having some seriously spooky fun, except one Gourmet King. Can Sunny survive such a gruesome place devoid of beauty? Find out in one of funniest chapters of Toriko, ever!  

Nisekoi
by Naoshi Komi
The mission to retrieve the disk with the mafia secrets gets more complicated when it requires multiple costume changes! Including some hot bathing-suit action! And just when it looks like all the embarrassment will pay off, a monkey wrench is thrown in the works! Maybe Raku's just not cut out for espionage...
 

Stealth Symphony
story by Ryohgo Narita, art by Yoichi Amano 
Super shocker in Stealth Symphony this week! One that will totally change the way you see the manga, and even make you want to go back and read previous chapters to look for hints. Not going to ruin it for, you'll have to read it yourself! 

One-Punch Man
story by ONE, art by Yusuke Murata
Lord Boros spills the beans on the source of his incredible powers. And as you might guess, Saitama's less than impressed. But when Boros lays into him for real, Saitama takes a beating unlike anything he's ever gotten before!
