Title: 少年マガジン (Shonen Magazine) Vol. 19
Issue Date: 4/21/2004
Publisher: Kodansha
Pages: 490

A little late this time, but I was busy with a certain video game... It looks like that time of year again when they choose who Miss Magazine is going to be. They have 16 potential candidates. There's minimal biographical information (body measurements being one of them) so judging is completely based on looks. By looks only, I don't think any of them are that pretty.

No Tsubasa in this issue.

Suzuka: ＃８空転 (Standstill): Yamato is still preoccupied with what Suzuka's embrace from last chapter. However, he overhears Suzuka talking to some other guy with glasses and agrees to accompany him somewhere for something. He frets for a while, but later finds out that the guy is a scout for the men's track and wanted to recruit Yamato for the team and was talking to Suzukua for a recommendation. The scout leaves with telling him that it looks like Yamato is Suzuka's type; a remark to which Suzuka takes some embarrassment to, but one that gets Yamato's head spinning again.

Negima: ４９時間目　開放・秘められた力！ (49th Hour, Release - The Hidden Power!): Asuna, Setsuna, as well as the other girls who helped battle the monsters seem to be winning. And despite a little obstacle, Negi is able to reach Chigusa and Konoka. Results are in from the 3rd Negima poll! The two time most popular character, Makie is down to #7, Asuna is now #4 instead of 2).

Hamanaka Ai: ０３１初日からの果たし状 (Letter of Challenge from the First Day): It's the start of a new school year and the three students Misaki, Masahiko, and Rin are all together in the same class. Since Misaki was class leader last year, it's only natural that she'll be the leader this year. However, a student that she knows, 若田部アヤナ (Ayana Wakatabe) challenges her to the position with the next test as the duel.

Futatsuki: １１口目／ラーメン記念日 (11th Taste/Ramen Memorial Day): Futatsuki's ramen is a hit among the brat judges. He reveals the ingredients as acorn and Amaranthus, which none of the judges could have imagined. He wins the competition with a score of 16-0 which allows him to enter the next round.

Title: ヤングマガジン (Young Magazine) Vol. 19
Issue Date: 4/19/04
Publisher: Kodansha
Pages: 490

Cover girl is Mayuko Iwasa (again) and like its little brother magazine, this issue also has the 16 contestants for Miss Magazine. The age range for the girls are as old as 19 to as young as 14. Sketchy.

XXXholic: 46: This arc comes to a close. The older sister is literally "bound" by her "words." Yuuko interrupts their lunch at the restuarant and frees her from the string that entangles her.

Redlight: 2: Chiko tells Satoshi to be more steadfast in his direction of traffic, but when he does so, he causes a car accident. Meanwhile, Chiko seems to have gotten sick, so Satoshi gives her a milk tea to drink and tells her to rest. When she wakes, she gives her thanks which gets his head spinning in love.
