New series starts this week, 神to戦国生徒会 (God and Warring Nations Student Council). It has its share of funny moments, but I think it'll be "darker" than what the first chapter shows. The Kondansha tour manga, "mou shimasen kara" features the 4 women from CLAMP. Speaking of which, more hints to some big news in 2 issues for Tsubasa (Tsubasa is off next week). The two cover girls are Ms. Magazine and Ms. Shonen Magazine.

Student Council: ＃１アナタだけのもの (Something That's Yours Only): 葛城武蔵 (Musashi Katsuragi) has just started high school after a month delay because his parents died in an accident. He has two childhood friends who attend the same school, 茜 (Akane, girl) and 椋鳥かおる (Kaoru Mukudori, guy). Before he even gets to class in the morning, he gets into a fight with some punks at school who are picking on Kaoru. He takes out two of the guys and the others soon recognize him as "The Unsinkable" Musashi from middle school. The others try to gang up on him again, but mysterious girl, 神楽魔魅 (Mami Kagura) appears. She's the vice-president of the student council and for some strange reason, the punk kids are afraid of her. He later learns that Mami has been a bit odd lately and has told the students that this school is the center of the universe. Musashi walks around the school and sees an old school building and Mami inside. However, just before he gets to explore the place, he bumps into Kaoru. They talk and Musashi tells Kaoru that he can't depend on Musashi to keep on protecting him. Later that night, Musashi gets a call from Mami telling him to meet her at the old school building. There, she tells him that "if you become the president of the student council..." He takes her home and she finishes with "I'll be your servant." She explains that because the school is in the center of the universe, the president of the student council will be the king and can get anything he wants, including her. Despite his protest, he allows her to stay for the night. As he's sleeping, she crawls into bed with him saying that she's his property.

Hamanaka Ai: ０６０文化祭の記憶 (Memories of the Cultural Festival): Masahiko is still taking photographs and takes pictures of Rinko, Ayaka and Ai (while they're getting massages), and finally, the tutor and students have a group picture with some joke that I don't understand.

Konoka suggests that Chachamaru might be in love. Saotomi does a few trials by measuring Chachamaru's system status as she dresses her up in pretty clothing. She then digs into Chachamaru's memory and sees what pictures she's storing. The other girls are watching, but Chachamaru manages to push them away before the Saotomi's screen shows pictures of Negi. Chachamaru starts malfunctioning and Negi manages to stop her from self-destructing. Saotomi then promises to help her be more attractive.

Suzuka just happens to be there and runs out to help him. The train door closes starts rolling. The only person who see them left behind is Miki.
