It's like the planets lining up, I suppose. This week's magazine boasts their entire line-up without a single artist taking a week off (even CLAMP!). Cover girl is Aya Matsuura.

There's a one-shot comic about a middle-aged guy and his life-sized marionette doll that he controls. Very strange. This week's Anime Research comic has an interview with the director of Tsubasa anime.

Student Council: #16絆の息吹 (Brace of Unity): Just as Musashi is about to be blasted by a beam coming from Valkyrie, Kaoru steps in to protect him. Nagare also jumps in later and gives Musashi a sword, the sword Mami's brother used 10 years ago. However, as Musashi handles it, roots grow around the sword and force him to pull it out to use it. Nagare says it's a test. The other student council members jump in the fight and Musashi, along with Nagare and Kaoru, help pull the sword out.

Suzuka: #53決心 (Determination): At school, Yamato and Honoka see each other but don't know what to say. During track practice, Honoka doesn't show up causing the team members to ask and find out that she and Yamato broke up. Honoka spends the time talking with Nana and decides that she should be more self confident, and thinking that maybe if she was, they would still be together. The next day, she goes to practice and is determined to tell Yamato how she really feels.

Negima: 89時間目 強者だらけのドキドキ♡バトルロイヤル (Nervousness With the Strong, Battle Royale): Fight, fight, fight! Using the skills he learned from Ku-fei and Eva, Negi manages to enter the round of 16. His next opponent is Takahata-sensei.

Tsubasa: 72忘れ得ぬ人 (Someone I Can't Forget): Sakura still can't fly her craft, but doesn't give up on being a race queen. Fye makes a comment to Kuro about how Tomoyo looks similar to the one Kuro knew in his home country. As the race is about to start, they noticed that many of the other contestants are people they've met elsewhere before.

Hamanaka Ai: 076禁欲の部屋 (The Room of Celibacy): Nakamura is try to stop smoking and she tries to get Ai, Masahiko, and Rinko to be ascetic too. Ai has to refrain from eating between meals so when Masahiko's mother brings in cake, they tie up Ai. The mom comes back to see the tutor in bondage.

Toto: 15: Noiru, Dorothy, and Kakashi are on the train to Emerald City. Along the way, Noiru points out that they'll have to pass the North Witch Forest. Right then, a mysterious lady with a hat and broomstick flies into view and jumps aboard their train. She introduces herself as repo-woman for accessories and has come for Kakashi's bracelet. She explains that it was used during a war 50 years ago and should have been sealed away. Kakashi now holds the power to change the destiny of the world. Kakashi refuses to give it up though because it still embodies Toto's spirit. They then see that they're on a crash course with another train.

King's Sword: 29呂布対劉備三兄弟 (Ryofu and The Three Brothers): Ryubi, Chohi, and Kanu surround Ryofu and try to team up on Ryofu. Ryofu parries all their attacks, but then his sword breaks and he retreats. One less obstacle on the way to Rakuyou.

Changing Now: #44限界!!正義の代償 (Limit!! The Price of Justice): After being defeated by Machina, Star Mask shows that his left arm is a prosthetic and he tells Dog Fighter that he paid the price for justice. They call it a night. The next morning, but baddies have all left and Dog Fighter realizes that it wasn't a dream.
