Why not spend your Labor Day at the beach with a couple of bikini beauties like these! Probably because this is real life and not a manga. And for most of us, the chances of numerous super cute girls fighting over us is slim. Almost as slim as suddenly shrinking so small you can fit in a bowl of kiwi-flavored shaved ice! Happy Labor Day, everyone!  

Nisekoi
by Naoshi Komi
They say everyone has a double in the world, and Chitoge meets hers! But she's not just her double, she's a princess from the country of Nonbiiri! And she's being chased by her own country's secret police. But when Raku and Chitoge save her, Raku's love life suddenly gets more complicated. Twice as complicated, you might say...heh heh (believe it or not, they pay me to write this stuff).

One Piece
by Eiichiro Oda
Usopp is one of those characters that manages to steal the spotlight time and time again. Often by pure dumb luck he manages to save the day, but this chapter is a little different. Fans already love him, but I think they're going to start respecting him a little more. 

Naruto
by Masashi Kishimoto
The incredible conclusion to the battle with Kaguya! And the Fourth Great Ninja War! It's been a long and brutal war with many wonderful characters lost along the way. Personally, I think this is one of the best chapters of the entire manga and one that's sure to please longtime Naruto fanboys. Well played, Kishimoto Sensei. 

World Trigger
by Daisuke Ashihara
The fight against the strange "fish-wielding" Neighbor takes a new twist as Border's snipers set up on rooftops and prepare to unload. But just as they think they've got him in their crosshairs, the Neighbors prove they're full of surprises!  

Bleach
by Tite Kubo
Just when you thought the battle couldn't get stranger, it totally does! Especially with the introduction of a character you have to see to believe! Kubo Sensei's pulling out all the stops!

Toriko 
by Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro
The conclusion of the quest for Air! The Four Kings and their Hex World friends have been desperately trying to prepare Air to keep the Nightmare Heracles from killing Toriko! But it all rests on Komatsu's skill as a chef! Will he be able to prepare Air?! Find out in one of the conclusion to one of the stranger Toriko storylines (and that's saying something!). 

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Part 1 Phantom Blood
by Hirohiko Araki 
Read the first two chapters of the legendary manga! Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is a truly unique manga. It's been going on for 25 years in Japan! Threre are eight different JoJo's series with a total of 111 volumes released! And most of them feature a direct descendant from the first JoJo character, Johnathan Joestar, featured in the preview chapters. The series is known for its memorable characters, stylish design, brutal battles, creativity and humor. Oh, and it's pretty weird! Bizarre, you might even say! We are proud to present the first two chapters of a manga that has become a legend! (Pssst...I'm the U.S. Editor, so please buy it when it comes out! The digital release comes out in September and the deluxe hardcover editions in February).
