Hey, who is this little cutie on the cover? Why it's the latest advancement in erotic robotic technology—Ai Roborovskii. A robot with a singular goal—end the violence in the world with eroticism! Sound impossible? That's what I thought...until read the manga. The second in our latest JUMP START series, and one that will not doubt become a legend, introducing—E-ROBOT

E-ROBOT
by Ryohei Yamamoto
Yuuki's got a crush he's just dying to confess his love to. There's just one problem, he can't do it! Every time he tries, he freezes up! But his life really takes a turn when he bumps into, or gets clobbered by, a robotic girl with a most impressive set of "features." Her name is Ai Roborovskii and she's the world's first Erotic Robot! Before you judge, she's not just here to make men foam at the mouth—she's here to save the world with her amazing erotic powers! Personally, I found this manga hilarious. There's a fine line between mindless fanservice and comedy, and this manga lands squarely on the comedy side. I don't think I've ever laughed this hard at a first chapter. 

One Piece
by Eiichiro Oda
With the flashback going on, it's kind of easy to forget there is a huge battle going on! But Oda Sensei has taken the time to remind you in this chapter, by breaking it down, fight by fight. Not only is this hilarious to read, it also gives the reader a great sense of scale. Aside from the Paramount War, this may be the biggest One Piece battle yet! 

World Trigger
by Daisuke Ashihara
The fallout from the Neighbor invasion continues! First it was the characters dealing with their emotions, now Border has to defend themselves from the a new enemy—the media! How will they fare against an enemy they can't use Triggers on?

Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma
story by Yuto Tsukuda
Yukihira's got a major problem—he can't crack the code on how to pick the perfect pike! But he's not giving up and is on to a new lead—aging meat. Will this angle help him produce the best dish in the upcoming cooking contest? Or will his new attempt start to smell like week old fish?

Takujo no Ageha: The Table Tennis of Ageha
by Itsuki Furuya 
If you thought this manga was going to be all fanservice, smack yourself in the face with a ping pong racket. Don't actually do that. But feel bad for a little bit, because there's a story building here, folks. And one that has the potential to combine the excitement of ping pong with the hilarity of romantic comedy. This is shaping up to be something special! 

Toriko
by Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro
The new food they need to complete Acacia's soup is so crazy, I don't even know what to say. And I am rarely at a loss for words. This will push the Four Gourmet Kings into territory they've never been in before! But it's all to save Komatsu so they'll do anything. Even eat...

Bleach
by Tite Kubo
Hyosube and Yhwach continue their insane battle! So far, Yhwach has just been inconvenienced by the Squad Zero members, but Hyosube seems to have enough power to actually hurt him. Yhwach is on the ropes now, but for how long?!  

Nisekoi
by Naoshi Komi
As if Raku didn't have enough problems with girls, now someone is going out the their way to set him up with Yui! Her name is Night and she's determined to get the two together for very specific reasons. But this isn't the first time someone's tried to set Raku up. Will it work? Or will he slip free and continue his pursuit of his beloved Onodera? 

Hi-Fi CLUSTER
by Ippei Goto
Peta stumbles across a student being bullied by a gang of ne'er-do-wells! Now that's he's armed with a high-powered label, he's got special powers that other label users don't have. But he's still inexperienced. Will he save the day, or take a couple on the chin? 

Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal
Original Concept by Kazuki Takahashi
Story by Shin Yoshida, Art by Naohito Miyoshi
Production Support: STUDIO DICE

If you thought last month's Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal was wild, hold on to your fedora because this one is even crazier! The three-on-one duel against the deity of despair, E'Rah has gone into overdrive and someone surprising comes to the aid of Yuma and friends. Someone you'd never expect in a million years!   

Naruto
by Masashi Kishimoto
The pacing in the early Naruto chapters is fast! Only the fourth chapter and Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura are established characters and now Kakashi's their mentor. And on the chapter page, there's an image with all three characters with their Summons. Even though they don't get them until way later in the manga. The final design of their Summons changed a bit though by the time they actually show up. This JUMP BACK has been quite revealing. 

Extras: Elemental Hero Core Yu-Gi-Oh! promo card announcement, Noble Nights of the Round Table Box Set feature, Yu-Gi-Oh! 2014 Holiday Gift Guide, Road to Ninja: Naruto the Movie feature, Author Comments, Nihongo Lesson.
