One-Punch Man
story by ONE, art by Yusuke Murata
Saitama’s depressed! Banishing foes in one blow has had virtually no effect on crime—it's becoming boring! AND mosquitoes keep biting him! In fact, a strange swarm of mosquitoes have infested the city and are sucking people dry! Is there something behind this recent invasion? And will Saitama get his mojo back?
World Trigger
by Daisuke Ashihara
The reviews (your comments and tweets!) are in, and so far World Trigger has been very well received. Well, the first chapter at least. Naturally, judging a manga by its first chapter is a bit premature, but you can get a taste for a few things like: art, character designs and setup. I’d say the manga succeeds on all accounts so far. As for the second chapter, the mystery deepens as we get to learn more about the strangely naïve and powerful Yuma Kuga.
Naruto
by Masashi Kishimoto
One of the magical things about serialized manga magazines is how different series become my “favorite” for a while. While I have my general favorites, they tend to change depending on what’s happening in the story. Right now, Naruto is by far my favorite, and this chapter is even cooler than the last! What could be cooler than a conversation with the four legendary hokage? Read the chapter and find out!
Bleach
by Tite Kubo
A beautiful Bleach chapter, poetic even. Kubo Sensei is a master of finding the beauty and romance in battle, and this chapter is a perfect example of his talent. I have to say, the current arc has made me fall in love with Bleach all over again. Good stuff, man.
Nisekoi
by Naoshi Komi
Raku is determined to get Chitoge and her estranged mother back on the right track. He’s not giving up no matter what! But can he get her to lose billions of dollars just to spend Christmas Eve with her daughter? That's a lot of bread!
Toriko
by Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro
Great chapter of Toriko! Man, this whole issue has been amazing so far! Seeing Granny Setsu in action does not disappoint! There’s also an eye-boggling spread filled with Shimabukuro Sensei’s trademark super freaky monsters! I love weirdo monsters so I spent a good chunk of time just staring at the art. And Granny Setsu and Granny Chiyo face off! I love super-powered Granny battles!
Cross Manage
by Kaito
Maybe I had too much coffee or something, but this is one of the best Cross Manage chapters I’ve read so far. Sakurai is trying to thank Misora for the gift she gave him (that came with an unintentional emotional outburst), but he just can’t find a way. Prepare for maximum teen awkwardness and some heartfelt moments!
Dragon Ball
by Akira Toriyama
Wow! The alien invader drops a bombshell on Goku! Well, a bombshell for the two people who don’t know the story of Dragon Ball. Or for that one guy who is like, “Hrmph! I’ll never read manga unless it’s in color.” If you’re that guy…this is going to blow you away!
Was this issue as amazing as I seem to think? Or do you disagree? Leave your comments below!

I love the faces in Nisekoi. That pouty face made by Chitoge and her mother made me laugh so hard.
I would read Cross Manage, but I have yet to buy all the back issues of Jump. "/
One Punch Man was fun, seeing
One Punch Man was fun, seeing new faces. I am always impressed with the art of this series, main character always has minimum detailing but everything else looks impressive.
World Trigger was funny, I am still enjoying it, although Yuga's duck face is getting old, needs better facial expressions...
Naruto was a relatively boring chapter, very predictable reactions. Next week should be decent though.
Nisekoi this week was quite the happy ending, I'll miss her mother if she doesn't return next week, she was funny when she was being mean..
Dragon Ball.. Meh, color looks good but this series has quite a few more weeks before it gets to the good parts.
Bleach.. I don't read it.
I would read Cross Manage if we could buy back issues.
No One Piece makes me sad.. :(

I thought this issue's chapters were uneventful,
and also I was confused by Unohana's Bankai in Bleach.
You were right about the
You were right about the Bankai.
And I wouldn't really call a five-seven chapter long story in Nisekoi an "arc".
This issue was pretty good.
Duel and Trade
Yo! TechGenusMaster! I haven't heard from you in a while. I haven't been on this site in a while, either. You wanna Duel sometime? Today? Sunday? When? Do you still play with T.G.s and Inzektors? I am building a Fire Fist Deck. Do you have any? I'll trade you. I have an Inzektor Hornet, Exa-Beetle, Exa-Stag, and two Inzektor Axe - Zektahawks: one Super Rare and one Ultra Rare. Do you have any Fire Fist/Fire Formation cards. Anybody wanna trade? I need Fire Fists Gorilla, Snake, Dragon, Bear, Horse Prince, Lion Emperor, and Tiger King.
Hey XYZ Hero!
Hey XYZ Hero!
Long time no see!
I still play these decks and do NOT give away my address though.
I have all of those cards anyway. Thanks for the offer. Sadly, I have yet to even open or buy a Cosmo Blazer pack. I am waiting for the SE box, Hidden Arsenal 7, and the ZEXAL Collection Tin to come out.
I do not duel much anymore, but when I do, I do it at my Wiki.

Magi!
Hey, does anyone know if Magi will be coming to Weekly Shonen Jump? I just found out that Viz licensed it, and it's in the same genre as many of the same series already in the magazine. The only problem I see is that I don't think that it is published by Shueisha. Hmmm, it'd be awesome if a similar service to this one was made for the other lines like the Viz Signature or Viz Kids, Shonen Sunday or heck, even the Shojo Beat line! Personally, I'd get a subscription if it meant I could get chapters of March Story or Magi as they're released. But hey, maybe that is the EVENTUAL plan for this system, as it seems a little unfair that it is just the Shonen Jump series getting all the attention.

There's your answer.
It'd still be awesome if a
It'd still be awesome if a similar service was offered to translate manga in a similar format that don't fit in with what is being offered in WSJ. A Weekly Seinen Jump? How about Shoujo? Young Jump? Most manga are published in a magazine format in Japan, and it would be nice for manga outside the shounen bubble to get a chance to get some attention. Frankly, I would love to be able to read March Story without having to wait for the volumes to come out, and it would be sweet if Viz Sig got on that. Not likely to happen, but BOY would it be awesome if it did.
