It is not controversial to call Haikyu!! a smash hit. I’ve always known about Haikyu!! Peripherally from just being online and into anime, but it wasn’t until this year that I finally gave the series a try. My partner loves the series and after glancing at their screen as they make their way through the manga and repeatedly replying “Yeah, I’ll try it sometime,” to their regular insistence that I read it, I opened up the Shonen Jump app and started Chapter 1.

For a long time, the three kings of Shonen Jump were One Piece, Bleach, and Naruto, the latter created by Masashi Kishimoto. As time has gone on, two of those series had ended and only one remains. However, Kishimoto would eventually return with a new series: Samurai 8: The Tale of Hachimaru. Is it good?

We're currently living in what I like to call the Nostalgia Era. Every TV show, movie, and cartoon from your childhood is either getting the reboot treatment or companies are just flat out bringing back different properties entirely. But, hey, who could blame them? As a great Good Guy doll once said, “a true classic never goes out of style.” With that being said, thanks in part to the good folks at Viz Media, for the first time the Transformers manga of the '80s will be available and released in the English language.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Vol. 11 sees the continuation of Tanjiro and Uzui the Sound Hashira's fight against Daki in the Hanamachi district. The last volume ended with Daki's brother, Gyutaro, emerging from her body to join the fight. One of Muzan's Upper Moon demons was more than enough for the gang to handle, so Tanjiro, Inosuke, Zenitsu, and Uzui are pushed to the limit in trying to survive against their strongest foes yet.

One-Punch Man has been a series that plays to the strengths of superhero storytelling by producing some comical situations and over-the-top moments. Last volume, a monster named Garo ended up fighting other monsters to save a little boy. Problem is, he doesn't care at all about the kid, yet saved him anyway. Is there a hero inside him he's unaware of? Given a huge chunk of the 19th volume is all about him killing the most powerful monsters in the Monster Association, the answer might be yes.

If you dig science, you probably should already be reading Dr. STONE from Viz Media. This series integrates real-world science in a science fiction story where all of humanity was turned into stone for over 3,000 years. Only Dr. Stone is smart enough to think up ways to bring back real technology in the new Stone Age and it's wickedly fun to see him invent things on the fly. The science might not be 100% accurate (I wouldn't know, I'm no scientist), but it makes enough sense. The conflict arises when other people awoken from their stone slumber want to take over the world. How to best combat strong warriors? Science, of course!

The Promised Neverland Vol. 14 blends high stakes action, emotional revelation, and engaging lore into a series of chapters that propel the series into a new major conflict central to Emma and the kids' survival. Writer Kaiu Shirai and artist Posuka Demizu are answering huge questions in this volume that have hung over the series from the start. This makes for a second-half nearly overwhelmed with lore, but as someone who is always down for more worldbuilding, the latter chapters balance the action-packed opening into a well-rounded volume. We’re deep enough into the story at this point that I can’t safely suggest any chapter from here on out as a jumping on point, but fans of the series have a lot to dig into with Vol. 14.

In a world where most of humanity has died and vampires have risen up in their place, what becomes of society as we know it? That's the main premise to Seraph of the End, which is a character-focused story involving vampires, demons, and a battle to control it all. The 18th volume is out today and it's one of the last as we close in on the finale.
