They're having a 4 week campaign and Yuuko-rin is the host! The feature story has swimmers for the Olympics (hence the cover). Suzuka is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. The events in this chapter threw me off completely, but made it all the better.

In chapter 61, Negima and gang go vacationing in the Southern Islands. Keitaro leaves for Pararakelse (sp?) in chapter 61 of Love Hina. Coincidence? Hmm...

Suzuka: ＃２２恋敵 (Rival In Love): Yamato goes to Suzuka's house and meets her sister, Suzune who takes him to where Suzuka's former love, Kazuki, is. Turns out Kazuki died in a car accident two years ago on his way to a track meet and Suzuka's been visiting his grave every time she has a vacation. Yamato leaves but tells Suzune not to tell Suzuka about him coming.

Negima: ６１時間目　南国マシュマロ帝国 (Southern Islands, Marshmallow Empire): Negi and Asuna are still on bad terms, so Ayaka invites him to the Southern Islands to relax. She thinks they'll be alone, but word got out and the other classmates are there too. Ayaka has a plan to get those two on better terms, which is by having Negi fall into the water and letting Asuna save him. After the rescue, Asuna finds out it was all planned, but she still says she was worried.

Changing Now: ＃１３登場　悪の将軍 (Appearance, The General of Evil): The head of the baddies, General Frost is traveling in a limo. However, he gets his horns stuck in the sun roof.

Tsubasa: ５２魔物の贈り物 (The Gift of the Monster): Sakura is able to talk with the gusting wind and has it calm down (Shaoran remembers that she has this ability). The wind tells her that a powerful force is keeping it there and they figure it's the feather/Sakura's memories. They go back to the bunny camp where they find out that the bunnies have the feather. Once it's returned, the wind gusts away and leaves flowers behind.

Hamanaka Ai: ０４４夏期合宿 (Summer Training): The gang goes to the beach and after some talk and Rin getting intoxicated while floating in the ocean, Masahiko pulls some thread from the mound where Ayana is buried in the sand. He pulls out her top.

This week's volume features a one-shot manga related to the new Steam Boy movie in Japan. I don't know how the movie is, but this manga is more of a gag than anything serious. Featured girl is Juri Ueno and back page girl is Mari Shinomura, both of whom were featured many a times before.

Redlight: 14: The pregnancy test Satoshi found on the floor belongs to his brother's, Yatoshi, girlfriend who they now find out is pregnant with Yatoshi baby. She wants to have the baby, he doesn't. They're both still in high school. The girlfriend has an argument with parents and decides to come live with Yatoshi.

xxxHolic: 54: Kimihiro goes to work and Yuuko automatically sense the feather he picked up. Later, Kimihiro and Himawari are drawing and note the hot weather. They then see that winged boy, but he's the only one who can see the wings. Doumeki and Kimihiro wonder if those wings have something to do with the weather.

スチーム爺さん (Steam Grampa): Ray's grandfather has constructed a new house fully powered by steam. It has such conveniences as a tea kettle, dishwasher, fridge, vacuum...etc. He also has plans for steam powered rockets, but the main problem is that with all that steam power, the house gets extremely hot.
