On a negative note, the quality of scans definitely dropped this chapter, and I'm guessing it'll last the entire volume, that's definitely a shame. Either way, the chapter itself was pretty good, I like that part of Ginji's reasoning for taking Akabane was so that Ban could clear the air with Himiko, not that it seems to be in Ban's plan. I also like the disparity in battles, with Ban being clearly above Himiko, whereas Ginji's kind of has to prove his worth to Akabane.
