Negima!

Post by AkuTenshiiZero »

I'm a huge Ken Akamatsu fan, and anyone who's seen or read Love Hina can probably understand why. I believe he came out with another series after that that flopped, but his lateset creation is just as great as his orgional hit. Negima! Magister Negi Magi.

For those unaware, here's a synopsis. Take one 10-year-old genius Wizard, make him the English teacher at an all-girls high school, sit back, and watch the chaos unfold. Not only does this make for some hilarious harem comedy, but the involvement of magic leads to battles of epic proportions. Thus far there are 18 volumes out (I think, need to hit the bookstore) and it shows absolutely no signs of stopping yet. I defintely recommend this series.

Anyone else a fan?

I like the fan service and that there's such a large selection of women and moes to perversely drool over the though ot until you realize that they're underage most of them, but I preferred it when it was a school based romance comedy/magic focused fan service explosion. Because at the moment, it feels more like a fighting perverse RPG manga.

I was a fan, only because it has a few good-looking boys and men (surprising in a Ken Akamatsu manga, I know), but then I started to drop the series post volume 14, after it became more fanservice to boys rather than girls and I couldn't handle the pressure of seeing ALL 31 girls done in a character development kinda way.

I loved Love Hina(though I was a lad when I read it xD), but I don't know about this.

I really liked Love Hina since that was one of the first digi-fansubs that were around. So this is from the same author, eh?

as of now there are 3 series of this manga.. 1 is negima! and 2 is negima!?.. yeah the difference is the spelling but the 2nd manga has an alternate retelling of the story
the 3rd is done by Takuya Fujima under the guidance of ken, much like negima!? it has an alternate story line
