Unless Ashiahara's health takes a nosedive like Hoshino's did, I doubt it will move to Jump SQ anytime soon. The breaks are occurring at a regular pace so I think it's something Ashihara worked out with the editorial (given his tweet about it also).

The fight between Negi/Kotarou and Rakan/Kage-chan might just be one of the best in Shounen history. Full of twists, insane power and just pure fun. And the ending brings manly tears to battle-steeled hearts. So good.
Yeah, I think that was the fight most people remember as when the series officially thrown away any pretense about going back to the old romcom ways and Akamatsu committed to the Shonen Adventure path.
I didn't like how it coped out of letting Negi get the win in the end and had it be a "draw", but it was a seriously awesome fight. Seeing Negi go Super Saiyan was also something

A bit more setup for the upcoming invasion that's getting me kind of excited as a breakaway from the Rank Wars. Too bad no chapter again next week. This release cycle is killing me.
Yeah, the breaks suck but given Ashihara's health, I can live with 3 to 4 chapters and then a break. Especially if it continues being this good from chapter to chapter.
The set up his chapter is interesting for future events in terms of what Hyuse will do from now on, but I don't know what direction things will take with him seemingly planning to catch a ride with the Golpoula forces, but what Enedorad said seems to hint at those guys having been sent by Hyrien (given they are his forces) to make sure Hyuse never makes it back home while his master is sacrificed (an assassination mission? Is that why it's covert?).
The implication is still that Hyuse will be the one last member to join the team, but like Osamu said, I have no idea if having someone from the invading forces join so easily will fly with HQ. I guess if they are trying to assassinate him, that will make him consider joining Border for protection and going home through the rank wars.
What I like about this is that we won't have Tamakoma-2 going after the Golpoula crew, so that we will be getting a different focus group while they try and regroup and think of ways to improve. I love that we are getting more Chika development and Osamu becoming more of a mastermind, but we got plenty of them on the way to getting to A-Rank this year, so having them take a break for a bit is good.
