The Tokyo Revengers manga continued with its Original Timeline arc with chapter 271 this past week. In it, fans witnessed the meeting between Shinichiro and the original time-leaper. To gain the powers of the mysterious old man, the older Sano brother had to kill him.

Haruchiyo tried to stop him, to no avail, as the boy had already jumped. Nonetheless, Shinichiro woke up back home, with Mikey still alive running around the house.

Despite the difficulties he had at first, the white-haired fighter was capable of successfully using his energy to split and whiter a piece of bamboo. This is the first issue in what fans believe will be Asta’s final training arc, which has sparked excitement amongst the community.

My Hero Academia commenced the battle between the most powerful villain of all time, AFO, and Deku in the manga chapter number 368. In this thrilling chapter, Mirio and Deku figured out that AFO was trying to repress Shigaraki at all costs, meaning that the young man could still be saved. Nonetheless, Izuku still needed to defeat the villain before attempting to save anyone.

Using the Second User’s Quirk, Transmission, the green-haired hero managed to cause severe damage to the villain. Yet, it appears as if Izuku only has five minutes with the Quirk before the terrible fate the Second User warned him about becomes a reality.

Anya and her father greeted fans back to their manga series in Spy X Family Short Mission 9. During this chapter, fans witnessed Loid, devoid of any other option, seek Franky’s help to create a Spy cartoon that would help Anya do better at school.

After working tirelessly for hours, Loid and Franky finished the cartoon, proud of what they accomplished that day. Agent Twilight played the cartoon for his daughter as soon as he arrived home. Tragically, the small Esper hated the cartoon due to its story being too complicated for her to follow.
