Yuuko-rin! The bookstore go this issue about two days later due to the New Year's holiday. The clerk explained it to me when I went asking if this issue had arrived. This issue has some wonderful shots of Yuuko-rin. It's hard to believe that she's only 4 years younger than I. There's also a special documentary comic in this issue, part one of two. It's a comic that depicts the events told to the Kodansha staff by Allen Nelson, author of the book "Mr. Nelson, Did You Kill The People?" I can't find it on the US Amazon site, though. He is a Vietnam vet who describes the horrors of war and they lead it off with current events happening in Iraq.

No Tsubasa this week as CLAMP is "called in sick" again. Full Tama (i.e. Full Swing") ends this week.

Suzuka: #43衝動 (Impulse): It's the start of the second semester. Despite Yamato thinking that his relationship with Honoka is a secret, Yasunobu tells him that everyone knows. He proceeds to give Yamato a condom and tells him that that's what couples do. Yamato goes home thinking what a stupid idea to have such a thing. Since no one else is at the apartment building, he has to make dinner himself. Honoka shows up unexpectedly and makes him dinner. Meanwhile, he keeps thinking about what Yasunobu told him earlier. Afterwards, as she volunteers to do his laundry, he grabs her arm and lands atop her.

Toto!: 4トウモロコシとたつまき少女 (Corn and The Tornado Girl): After landing safely, Kakashi starts his journey on foot. He becomes hungry and sees a lunch just sitting out. After finishing it, he finds out that it belongs to a girl, Dorothy, who had just gone to wash her hands. While he's hiding, his dog runs out and brings her an ear of corn. She decides to keep it and name him "Toto." Kakashi then jumps out saying that the dog is his. Suddenly, a few soldiers come and want to take Toto away. Dorothy kicks their butts with her martial arts skills and they ride off on a motorbike.

School Council: #6選ばれし者 (The Chosen): Mushashi discovers that Akane has run away to the park and may be in danger. Mami tells him that he's in no condition to fight Kaoru, but he goes anyways. Despite seeing Kaoru standing over a passed out Akane, Musashi refuses to fight. Kaoru beckons him by attacking Akane instead. Musashi then decides to fight, but he affirms that he's not fighting Kaoru but rather, he's fighting his powers instead.

Negima: 79時間目 世界樹伝説のあま〜い真実 (The Sweeet Truth About the Worldly Tree Legend): The class is preparing for their festival when Setsuna and Negi get called to a meeting. The headmaster has gathered all the magic users at the school together to call upon their help. To Negi's surprise, there are a lot more of them than he had originally thought. The problem is with the tree. Kotaro explains that the buzz going around concerning the tree is that there's a legend that says that every 22 years, something miraculous happens to the tree. On that day, any wishes made will come true. The headmaster explains that it's happening a year early and what really happens is that confessions of love gets answered, and is more like a curse. So, he wants the magic teachers and students to stop anyone from getting close to the tree. Apparently, Sayo's been listening in along with Saotomi and Chao. After they disband, Negi finds Chao in trouble.

Hamanaka Ai: 065 1月4日初詣 (Visiting the Shrine on the Fourth of January): The gang goes to the shrine a little later mostly because they wanted to avoid the crowds. After they do their prayers, Masahiko explains that he wished for the him and the 5 girls to be together forever. The girls interpret this as him wanting to do a 6-some.

King's Sword: 18花の名前 (The Name of the Flower): The girl tries to attack, but Ahi manages to disarm her. As she's restrained, she asks Ahi to kill her. He lets go and she explains her history, about how the gold headband bandits came and killed her family. Ahi tells her that at least she's still alive and should strive to live. He learns that her name is Meishien and takes her to safety.

Full Swing: Final break: これからもずっと (Always, From Now On): After playing a match where Tama beats Koto, she reflects back on how much he's improved. That night, they go to the festival together and Tama asks that she always support him. She agrees.

Changing Now: #34特急!! クリスマスの危機 (Express!! Christmas Crisis): Machina is now a express delivery person and one of his clients, who happens to be Crimson Bunny, is in need of a delivery on Christmas night. He comes and picks it up.
