Negima to end after three more chapters
babel writes: So, after nine years, Mahou Sensei Negima! will be ending (but not until the March 15th issue of Weekly Shonen). AKAMATSU Ken will be taking his time to write the three remaining installments. It is uncertain at the moment whether or not these will be extended chapters (as he did with the ending of Love Hina). It is also unknown what, if anything, will follow Negima. Rumors on the anime boards have suggested variously that a 'Negima 2' will be written (with a slightly more adult cast), or that fatherhood has taken it's toll and nothing will be forthcoming for the foreseeable future, though neither of these possibilities has been accompanied by any hard evidence so far...

I for one am very excited. Did you know that Negima was the very first series that I helped scanlate?

Manga Downloads specialized in (although was not limited to) scanlating the works of Adachi Mitsuru (Cross Game and Rough among others).

New Poll - Favorite Romance
This poll is from our member AceBunneh. For all those people who like romance of some sort (and that's most people), what's your favorite type of romance? The given choices hopefully cover most of the bases...

You can discuss this poll on our forums here:

You can submit poll ideas here (and try to keep them manga/anime-related):

New Poll - Preferred Manga Consumption Method
This poll from our member mewarmo990 has a large assumption: money is not an issue. Other than that, it's a poll that may seem pretty familiar. (And lots of big words in the title)

Question: Harem in manga
Choices:
Love them! - votes: 2569 (16.7%)
Only like it if it's romance and/or ecchi - votes: 2916 (18.9%)
I like the reverse harem more - votes: 3040 (19.7%)

Interesting... The results were pretty even. I'm surprised that the reverse harem option got so many votes!
