If you're wondering what those flowers represent behind Ichigo, each one is for a different Soul Reaper Captain. Just by looking at them, do you think you can figure which flower goes to which Captain? I'm guessing you don't. I don't either, offhand. This is for the hardcore Bleach fans!   

Bleach
by Tite Kubo
It's a mad scientest zombie battle! You don't get many of those in any form of media, so enjoy it while it lasts! And considering the players involved, this might actually last for awhile!

One Piece
by Eiichiro Oda
Get ready for the cutest revolution you've ever seen, because the Tontatta's are in full revolt! But will their ridiculous (and often hilarious) gullibility stop the rebellion before it picks up steam? And get ready for what may be the silliest battle yet in One Piece yet—Franky versus Senior Pink! 

Nisekoi
by Naoshi Komi
The Miss Bonyari High Beauty Contest continues! Despite what she thinks, Haru's made it past the preliminaries and is now up against her biggest competition yet in the final round—her very own sister Kosaki! Even though her sister is considered one of the great beauties of Bonyari High, Haru's spunky cuteness is nothing to scoff at!

Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign
story by Takaya Kagami, art by Yamato Yamamoto, storyboards by Daisuke Furuya
It's time for a road trip! This is the last manga I thought would have a hilarious road trip, but there is one. However, it's not to go to an amusement park, it's to kill vampire nobles! Guren has ordered Yuichiro's unit to the front lines to launch a dangerous attack on the vampire top brass. Is it a suicide mission, or does Guren have a plan?

World Trigger
by Daisuke Ashihara
It's Replica to the rescue! Not only is this cute little black "rice cooker" knowledable, Replica can make Rabits to fight on the battlefield. And tough ones, at that. Meanwhile, the Neighbor trapped in the training room at Border HQ turns out to be tougher than expected. Looks like it's time to call in the big guns.

Naruto
by Masashi Kishimoto
A touching chapter of Naruto! Obito makes the ultimate sacrifice to save Kakashi. Although he's been evil in the past, is this selfless act worthy of true redemption? Only you, the reader, can decide that! 

Toriko 
by Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro
Many people battle their inner-demons, but few people's inner-demons battle for them! And Toriko is one of those people! After Nightmare Heracles literally breathed on him and cut him in half, the "Blue Demon" inside Toriko emerges. And now it's going toe-to-toe with Heracules! How long can this fight last, and what will happen to Toriko once it's over?

One-Punch Man
story by ONE, art by Yusuke Murata
The battle against Lord Boros has come to and end, and now it's time for the heroes of City A to pick up the pieces. With the city in shambles, Handsome Kamen appears on the scene (naturally after the fighting is over), and demands to know why they couldn't save the city? And for that fact, where is our bald hero? Did he burn up with the ship?

Blue Exorcist
by Kazue Kato
Major plot events in this chapter! If you thought the characters were going to run around fighting zombies for five more chapters, you are wrong! Rin fights Shima! Izumo makes a major decision! That gross Professor Gedoin guy does more gross stuff! This is a chapter you do not want to miss! 

Extras: Manga sales announcement, Comic-Con Cosplay Gallery, Author Comments, Nihongo Lesson.
