New series starting this week from Tooru Fujisawa, the author of GTO. Titled "Rose Hip Zero," it's a action/police/and a tad bit of romantic comedy manga which centers on an odd partnership. King's Sword is FINALLY over, and there's a special preview comic (not really though) for a new series next week titled "Sayonara Zetsubou-sensei." The anime research comic features on the second Negima PS2 game. Tsubasa is off this week.
Rose Hip Zero: 1: The assistant commissioner of the police has an escort to back home give his daughter a present for her birthday. Even with that, there is an assasination attempt.

At the local police station, Kyouji is a returning detective specializing in terrorism. He recently lost his sister, Kasumi, in a terrorist bombing. As he tries to let off steam at the shooting range, he sees a girl in a school uniform there practicing, and doing very well. Later, he hears from this chief the report on the attack on the asst. commissioner and is stunned that the group responsible is ALICE, the same group that killed his sister. He is assigned a new partner, the girl that he saw at the shooting facility. At first, she looks naive and clueless, but when a truck is about to hit a mother and child, she springs into action and takes out a tire making the truck swerve and miss the pedestrians. Her name is also Kasumi.

Suzuka: #58選択 (Choice): Suzuka is being wishy-washy. Yamato goes to the laundromat to do his laundry and finds Suzuka there doing it two. While they're waiting, Yamato offers her a combini bento. She declines, and then she tells him that she can't take her laundry out (with underwear) while he's around. So he leaves, but then she says she's hungry so she'll accept his offer. But she can't eat alone, so she has him stay and eat. But even with all her antics, Yamato admits that he likes her.
