The size is now back to normal. Full Metal Panic and Magical Cat X ends this week. It thought that FMP ended quite weakly, but probably because the new series is starting in next month's issue. The cover features a pro-wrestler cosplaying as Kogarashi of Maid Guy.
Maburaho Colorful has a short, but all-color bonus chapter this month. Last month was also a bonus chapter which I put as chapter 4 by mistake. The relationship in Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto finally get all fleshed out. It's pretty complicated. Nodoka Nobody has a bonus chapter featuring Miki, titled "Miki and Anybody." That title is usually used in the little sidebar where the author explains what's going on in his life.
