Team Negi-Bozu

The adventures of Negi Springfield and his girl students continue. This volume begins with Asuna going on her first date with her crush, Takahata. The rest of the book is devoted to Negi and his "posse" gearing up for a showdown with classmate Chao Lingshen. The truth about the mysterious Chao is finally revealed, but you won't hear what it is from me. This is one of the most exciting volumes of this series. It ends with a cliffhanger that leaves Negi in deep trouble. I can't wait to find out what happens next.

Magical harem with power and mystery.

Don't be fooled by the loosely manga based anime, this is an amazing series. Although they could focus a bit more on the intrigue instead of so much fan service, the frequent magical and/or martial arts battles of incredible power and skill, not to mention fascinating revelations about the 'magical world', more than make up for it. Since it is a harem title, and this harem has at least 31 girls, the character development has taken a really long time, but if things take a turn for the truly serious as they seem to be doing at the end of this volume, with as much as Ken Akamatsu has made us love the girls, this series could have frightening power. At this point, if someone were to die or something, it'd be really rough. Be warned if you don't already know, this series has a high risk of addiction.

Best of the series yet!

Best Negima volume yet, the adventure continues. I was smiling all the time I was reading it.

This is getting crazy! And I love it!

Ken Akamatsu is brilliant! To go from the likes of Love Hina (which was brilliant in it own way),a simple love story with brilliant plots, to Negima with it's complicated but brilliant plots with plenty of action, love story, and fan service to go around, Ken must go down as one of the most brilliant story tellers of all time (at least in my book any way). I still can't believe that Ken is coming up with this stuff, it's just too different from Love Hina. Any way, this is a lead in book to the stunning and thought provocative confrontation with Chao! The Asuna date was interesting, the plot twist with Negi and his team being sent a week into the future (which I really wondered how Ken was going to get out of this plot twist), the new artifacts with Hurana (hers is totally wicked) and Yue, and the ADULT (and I mean ADULT) training session between Evangeline and Negi when Negi is questioning if him defeating Chao is the right thing to do... wait.. could Evangeline be falling for her cute little aprentice?

heck breaks loose

Well the second day of the Marhorafest is coming to an end, well sooner or later....Asuna is off on her date with Takahata. Things go well, despite a rampaging robot T-Rex, a near gang fight, and all the animals breaking out of the circus. Asuna soon learns that Takahata sees her as a daughter type, not as a possible soulmate. to add to the storyline, Chao uses her time machine to escape into the future to put the final step of her plan to expose the mages to the rest of the world then to leave school and return home. but to do that she must defeat Negi in combat, which does not turn out as easy as it sounds given the fact that Negi now has two new contracts and a few new allies with Fei Ku and Kaede. Chao lets it known that she comes from the future, is a martian and is a direct decentant of Negi. Then battle is posponed when the rest of the class springs a surprise going away party for Chao. Day three starts in Evangeline's resort ,where Asuna was hiding after beingrejected. The plan is to train up everyone with their new powers to combat Chao, but when they leave they find out, there is one more ttap. they appear one week after the festival ends and magic has been exposed and Negi has been blamed for it all, not to mention the time machine has stopped working. now it is up to the girls to save negi and put things to right.....a big job to say the least
