Cover
by Masashi Kishimoto
Recognize this cover? It’s the second part that connects to last week's cover! Both make one piece of art to promote the new Naruto Shippuden movie coming out in Japan, Road to Ninja: Naruto the Movie. On this side, Hinata looks a little more like herself. 

Naruto
by Masashi Kishimoto
The big showdown is finally here! Naruto takes on Tobi! The entire Fourth Great Ninja War has been leading up to this! So far, the fight does not disappoint! Luckily for Naruto, he’s got Might Guy (with nunchucks!) and Kakashi on his side. Then again, Tobi’s got a fully operational giant Gedo statue! A battle of legendary proportions! 

Bleach
by Tite Kubo
Wow. Bleach is really getting bleak these days. With Ichigo trapped, it really looks like the Soul Society is helpless without their Bankai. Will Ichigo be able to escape and come to the rescue? And can anyone stand up to the Quincy attack?! 

One Piece
by Eiichiro Oda
These giant “candy” addicted kids are really creepy! Speaking of creepy, Caeser Clown may be Oda’s most diabolical villain yet (and that’s saying a lot). Who else would do terrible experiments on children! And he’s obsessed with chemical weapons! And he seems to enjoy murdering his own troops! So dastardly! 

Barrage
by Kouhei Horikoshi
The battle between Astro and the terrible Tad Pole continues. As it turns out, Tad Pole’s dark energy armor may not be as invincible as he thought! And Astro discovers another new form of the Orgue! 

Toriko
by Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro
The battle between the Four Kings and the Four Beasts is on! It’s amazing to see how powerful both Toriko and Terry have become. The fighting is fierce! But having recently leveled up by learning how to honor food, Toriko’s ready to try out his new powers! 

Takama-ga-hara
by Jyuuzou Kawai
This manga’s getting interesting! Everybody on earth has a secret super power? Mine must be always picking the seat next to the crazy guy on the bus! There’s some really crazy art in this chapter, too. Especially when the guy gets “Kanjified!”

Blue Exorcist
by Kazue Kato
Another issue with two chapters of Blue Exorcist! The fight with the Kraken is not going so well. Especially since Rin and Yukio continue to fight each other instead of the Kraken. But by bribing an old sea god with Rin’s delicious cooking, things are starting to look up!
