Iv'e never read Love Hina before, so I'm not gonna compare Negima to it.
Negima is an excellent manga: It has a mixs of ecchi, fantasy, romance and comedy altogether, which is not a common thing.
I began seeing the anime because it looked funny, and it was. Then I read the manga and it's even better - The storyline is great, The drawings are awasome....
I really recommend Negima to any fan of Fan Service / Comedy... It may not be the best ecchi, but it defiently worths reading.

At first I thought, "too much fanservice for a manga w/ a 10-year-old main character!

And then I thought, "too many characters!"

Later, I thought, "too many fight scenes for a manga which (seemed as if it) primarily started as ecchi!"

The thoughts pile up, primarily because there's too much of a mix of everything, from fantasy to ecchi to adventure to shounen to comedy to romance.

This one is a primary example of how too much of everything can become a good thing, or in some cases, a bad one.

Very good art, some good ecchi scenes too. The thing that gets to me the most are the fighting scenes, where everyone looks so cool casting spells and such.

Its simply one of the best mangas around in its genres but its far from perfect. Love Hina was good, but this is simply Akamatsu's best work so far. Comparing it to Love Hina is simply pointless since they have different targets. If you're looking for a romantic ecchi shounen manga, this isn't you're cup of tea. Love Hina really is a romance + Akamatsu manga while Negima is a fantasy manga Akamatsu style. Its an incredibly fun manga, good concepts and character development, at least for Negi and some students.

Its about a 10 year old mage sent to an all girls school to be an English (?) teacher. Some would eventually develop feelings for him (personally I prefer Honya), some would just admire his strong points. Negima's most noticeable weak points would be its roster of characters. while most mangas don't usually have 30+ characters, Negima has to have more! Everyone of his 31 students has a purpose but some are so minor that they could've been easily taken care of by other characters.

Great manga

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

One of the best fighting manga I've ever read, there's some hole early like Evangeline was weak but later she actually really good even when he still sealed. But inconsistency was gone after around 10 volume power level was managed really well so no more surprise or inconsistency.

I never really expect love story, and when presented I don't really care for the harem because unlike other character this one was 10 years old boy so even if he confused, not noticing, cant reply back I can understand(what you expect guys... seriously love story gimme a break). Honestly the most bad score anyone can give was 6, giving less than that mean you just a hater. There's character progression some are weak but still better than other harem fighting manga.

As for the ending also I can understand why author make it that way after all Negima ending was an anchor for UQ Holder! which btw much2 more awesome than Negima, I just hope it can answer all my question at the end, but even when not I still will give both manga solid 9 and 10.

Not magical at all

I read the manga back in the day where i forced myself to keep up with "popular" series and have to get this off my chest after years of silence. I dislike Akamatsu(only the first half of Love Hina is ok in my book) and this manga really pissed me off. The world rules and random development made no sense.
How often did Negi change his age, how often did the genre shift on a whim and how little time did pass ?
Then the vast harem elements which make up 50% of the story in form of filler and the ending are a joke(one point deduction). I read that he fought the publisher(but still works for them ?) or something and the readers lost i guess.
It least i could jump off. The ecchi elements were downright unreadable to me(loli rape jokes really ?) and are especially problematic if you know that the author does lolicon porn in his free time. Which is of the yuri variety so why he messed up so badly here i don´t even know. It´ like Sailor Moon never happened.
The art is technically well done but the designs are all to similar and bland to be remembered. I read 3 random chapters of the "sequel" for reference and expect no review for that one because i found it a money grabbing joke and stopped reading garbage thank to manga´s like Negima. Akamatsu may be a friend of Miura but he and i will probably never meet again. Read Ran to Haiiro no Sekai for a magical manga instead.

Super! Great ending too!

The manga was great and fun from start to finish, Character development, especially emotion-wise, was portraited detaily. I like the ending too, it was not rushed like most other manga, ending in 1 or 2 chapters, this one has enough chapters for closing most, if not all the loose ends.

Overall, a great fantasical adventure, with lighthearted but emotional friendship, and love comedy, without being too forcefull, typical of a harem story.

Give it a read if you haven't, it's an experience totally worth your time!

Lots of pretty girls. Very good art. The story isn't so hot though. At times it is hilarious, especially early on, but later I just felt annoyed with the series.
