I agree with both the praises and criticisms of this volume. I'm really frustrated with Akamatsu sometimes; he can be an excellent writer, and his action scenes are so dynamic, and then he has to mix in his off-putting fanservice humor in as well. This won't be a huge problem for the next couple volumes (and there's a REALLY good arc coming up), but the absolute nadir has been reached in the most recently simulpublished chapters. At this point in the current running, it's basically a continuation of Negima, for better or worse.

I still love the series, but Akamatsu makes me sigh and facepalm pretty dang often.

You've not seen nothing yet, it gets worse in later volumes as far as the harlem issues. spoiler[It get ecchi too. I think something must been pushing Akamatsu-sensei to go this route. Likely dismal sales since he not living up to Negi harlem style.]

I've been reading every chapter as they're published on Crunchyroll, and you're correct. This last arc in particular has been ridiculous.
