With the series moving to Shueisha's Ultra Jump, some notable changes can already be seen, such as the reset of chapter count (probably to not confuse readers any further...not that it helps) and reprinting of tankoubon volumes 1 and 2 with "spiffy" new covers.

But one of the biggest surprises of this chapter is actually this...



HOMURA SANZENIN KUROGANE NAGI IMRE, BULLFIGHTER EXTRAORDINAIRE~~~
IN TENCHI UNIFORM ｷﾀヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ!

Had been wondering when Hayashiya-sensei would let Nagi in on the action after her brief appearances previously, maybe she'd been planning all along to keep it until the UJ move. Does this mean we'll finally get to see something regarding the hinted drama between the twins, or will Nagi be another of them commonsensical folks (in HCB?! ikka you jest!) a la Ouka/Yukari (...), constantly wondering if all the baka genes dropped into the other half of the zygote when they were being formed? Hmmmmm...

Eh, if Hayate's in this state, does it mean that she got schooled by Ensuu? *scratches head*

Another surprise: Daddy (?????) Kurogane.



Mistook Nagare as a made-over Hitsugi-kaichou the first time round in chapter 51. No weird looks please...come on, they do look sorta alike, no?

There was background info on HCB published together with this chapter, such as story summary, definition of key terms and a character list (with not-too-descriptive text, aw well) that was actually quite funny - everybody got at least a semi-sane/cool-looking shot, save for Wanko and Tatewaki. (ikka excluded Sou because it was kind of in character for her)
...then again, all shots of Jun in the drama CD booklets' character introductions weren't very flattering, and she's supposed to be the most popular cast member, so...-_-;;;
