Hey, who's this smooth dude on our cover? Why it's Abaku Inugami, and he's the star of our newest JUMP START series, Gakkyu Hotei: School Judgment! And if you recognize that art style, you have a good eye because it's none other than Takeshi Obata from Death Note fame! This is a little bit of a departure from his usual style, so Obata Sensei fans will get a real kick out of it. 

Gakkyu Hotai: School Judgment 
story by Nobuaki Enoki, art by Takeshi Obata
The world is experiencing an "era of educational collapse"! In order to combat it, the government has introduced a revolutionary new system into grade schools called the School Judgment System! A system of the children, by the children, and for the children. Students can take each other to court with real-life consequences! One of the toughest lawyers just started school, and he's going to find out just who cut up the classroom pet—a super cute fish! Get ready for some serious courtroom action in the classroom drama! 

Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma
story by Yuto Tsukuda
The cooking contest is about to begin! And Soma's pike looks completely weird compared to his two opponents' fishes. Like, crusty gross weird. He clearly has a plan, but will it work! Especially against two seasoned fish experts!

Bleach
by Tite Kubo
After dispatching the Zero Court Guards without too much trouble, Yhwach is finally getting his clothes mussed up a bit! But the fight's far from over as Yhwach no doubt has some aces up his sleeve!  

E-ROBOT
by Ryohei Yamamoto
Yuuki Rindo's got a major problem—the world's first erotic robot's making his school life a living hell! Not only is AI Roborovskii making him look like a pervert over and over, it's making him look like a pervert in front of the girl he loves! Can he restore his good name and show his crush he's really not a creepy creeper? 

One Piece
by Eiichiro Oda
The battle rages on, and it's starting to take a bloody toll! Trafalgar Law and Doflamingo air out some old laundry, while Luffy and Bellamy do the same! Both battles seem very one-sided, but even weaker enemies can be surprising! 

Takujo no Ageha: The Table Tennis of Ageha
by Itsuki Furuya
Ageha's adapting to his new surroundings quite well, and by well I mean making enemies left and right! His newest rival may be the biggest sleazeball on campus, but when it comes to table tennis he's no slouch. Has Ageha met his match?

Toriko
by Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro
The Four Kings have done pretty well dealing with the monkey madhouse they've found themselves in, but their new foe may be stronger than anything they've ever faced! And when he makes a sudden appearance, everyone goes to pieces! Have Toriko and friends finally met a foe they can't best? Or is this guy just monkeying around with them?

Hi-Fi CLUSTER
by Ippei Goto
Peta's on his first stake out with the team! There are rumors that someone is importing gold labels at the port. They may be grasping at straws but this is the best lead they've got. Will they find another illegal label user and get closer to catching the Landscape Mole?

World Trigger
by Daisuke Ashihara
It's Osamu's first press conference! He's decided to confront the media to clear his good name. He's a smart guy, but isn't exactly experienced dealing with a hostile crowd of reporters. Can his straight-shooting ways subdue the angry crowd, or will they have him for lunch? I have to say as a World Trigger fan, I'm constantly amazed at Ashihara Sensei's ability to make things that would normally bore me to tears, like a press conference, totally exciting. That's the mark of a great storyteller! 

Nisekoi
by Naoshi Komi
Chitoge gets the sudden craving for Oyakodon! But Tsugumi doesn't know how to cook it and enlists the always helpful Raku to teach her how. But with Tsugumi's crush on Raku, will it get too hot in the kitchen for both of them? 

Naruto
by Masashi Kishimoto
Ahh...the classic fight between kid Naruto and his mentor Kakashi. It warms my heart to see Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura so young and inexperienced. But even this early in the manga, it's clear Naruto's got special abilities even if he's not quite skilled enough to make Kakashi put down his book. Reading these JUMP BACK Naruto chapters sends my brain on a major nostalgia trip. A super warm and fuzzy nostalgia trip. It's been kinda nice. 

Extras: Yu-Gi-Oh! promo card announcement, Nihongo Lesson, Author Comments.
