There's coverage of the latest Harry Potter movie in this week's episode. Besides that, this is just another volume.

Suzuka: ＃１８焦心 (Impatience): Honoka has joined the track team as the manager, taking care of washing the uniforms, and in general just helping out with the team. Despite being on the team, she has little time to hang out with Yamato. Miki has noticed that Suzuka has been out of it ever since Yamato joined the team. While she still tries to act cool and constantly ignores him, she can't help but have fond memories of him in private.

Negima: ５８時間目　とどけ、一撃 (Hit With One Shot): Negi is ready for the apprenticeship test with Chachamaru. At first he starts off quite even but as the fight goes on, he gets beat up pretty bad without even landing a punch himself. The other girls watch and Asuna is about to jump in to save him when Makie stops her and makes an impassionate speech about how Negi can take care of himself. Chachamaru is distracted by Makie's talk and Negi is able to give her a soft punch to the face as he collapses. Later, Makie has her gymnastics competition.

Changing Now: ＃１０瞬殺　パンダ男 (Quick Kill, Panda Man): Dog Fighter quickly disposes of an enemy Panda Man and is then met with a female enemy also dressed in a suit named Crimson Honey. She's winning the battle, but that's because his attention is on her suit. He tells her that she should be embarrassed wearing something so revealing and nags the unconscious panda to concur.

Hamanaka Ai: ０４０大学生の頭脳 (The Brain of University Students): The tutors Nakamura and AI have a little competition with the students in math and they both receive slightly lower scores than Misaki. In order to regain their image, they student for the next competition, but fall asleep during the test as they studied all night.

Tsubasa: ４９最後の敵 (The Last Enemy): Unlike the other crossover characters, Fye actually mentions that Oruha is from Clover. Oruha explains why she's the final boss and Seishirou asks her if her real name is Subaru. She replies negative and also tells him she doesn't know where the two vampires he's after are either. Having come to a dead end, Seishirou departs and before Shaoran can reach him, he leaves with the feather/Sakura's memory. Mokona uses the powers Seishirou left behind to transport the dimensional travelers to their new destination.

Finally, a respectable cover featuring the 18 year old Aya Matsura. It's also the 24th anniversary of this magazine. As always, Waka finds her way into the back pages.

The other series that I follow all took a break this week, so it's only XXXholic this time. Next week is breaktime for both Tsubasa and XXXholic.

XXXholic: 52: Kimihiro finds out that he was in the "Underworld" with that girl for the past for the 10 hours. Yuuko explains to him how Doumeki saved him from certain death by lowering a ribbon so he could be pulled out. The rain fairy then shows up again and thanks him for saving the flower bush and demands that he remember her on White Day.
