Hey, who is this handsome lad prettying up our cover? Why it's that Hana Yanagi, the stylish Judo expert from the manga Judos! And he's the star of our brand new Jump Start sampler series. We're going to bring you the first three chapters of every new manga that starts in the Japanese Weekly Shonen Jump. That way you can see what new exciting manga could potentially get a full U.S. release. Enjoy!

Judos
by Shinsuke Kondo
The world of Judo is populated by thick-neck beefcakes. That is until handsome Hana Yanagi comes on the scene. He's from a legendary Judo village and he's about to show the world you don't have to have 26-inch pythons to be a master of the "gentle way." Enjoy the first Jump Start chapter of Judos!  

Naruto
by Masashi Kishimoto
Hard to believe the fight with Kaguya is over! And for that fact, the Fourth Great Ninja War. But now it's time for some tearful farewells to a couple of very special characters. Get a box of tissues, this chapter is tender! 

Blue Exorcist
by Kazue Kato
The battle to save Izumo continues! But before they can get to her, the vile Professor Geddin has forced her to do the dance to tame the Nine Tails. But with her mind so conflicted is there anyway she can control it? Plus, Rin takes on the traitor Shima!

One Piece
by Eiichiro Oda
Luffy and Law finally confront the maniacal Doflamingo! They've got some harsh words for this amazingly dressed villain! Some harsh words and a little chin music!

Nisekoi
by Naoshi Komi
Raku's in a pickle! But a totally different kind of pickle than usual! A foreign pickle! He somehow became involved with the complicated life of a Princess from Nonburri! Making matters worse, this princess has a wild streak and likes giving her security team minor heart attacks.  

Bleach
by Tite Kubo
Based on this current arc, my guess is Tite Kubo has a giant bag of crazy characters he's just been waiting to use, and Pepe Waccabrada is the latest. A very tan middle-aged portly cherub with a variety of love-based powers. This guy is a crack up! And really strong. They say love conquers all, but does that include Soul Reapers?

Toriko 
by Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro 
Komatsu's done it! He's managed to prepare Air! Not only that, he's saved Toriko from being "snorted" to death by the Nightmare Heracles! Now that this incredibly rare and powerful food has been prepared, how will it affect Toriko and the other Four Kings? 

World Trigger
by Daisuke Ashihara
The fight against the strange Neighbor who wields animals made out of Trion continues! Karasuma thinks he's got his number, but once again, the Neighbors prove trickier than ever! 

One-Punch Man
story by ONE, art by Yusuke Murata
Saitama and Genos stumble across what looks to be an incredible battle! King, the world's strongest hero, versus a massive heavily-armored battle robot created by the "Organization"! This may be the greatest non-Saitama fight ever! 

Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign
story by Takaya Kagami, art by Yamato Yamamoto, storyboards by Daisuke Furuya
It's Yuichiro's first major mission and he's already in trouble! Late to a very important rendezvous with Colonel Guren and his squad. This doesn't bode well! And now Yuichiro's been summoned by the brass to answer for his actions. But as usual, there's more to Guren's motives than meet the eye. Yuichiro is in for some interesting punishment!  

Extras: Nihongo Lesson, Author Comments.
