Trends change and everyone becomes fascinated with different shows, movies, games, and comics, but one constant seems to lie in the staying power of shonen manga and anime. Of course, it could be because these series are soooo long, but some of this week's top stories show that we just can't stop thinking about stuff like Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece.

What's your favorite shonen series? Let us know in the comments after the weekly news recap!
