One of the very best

by babel

One word covers Akamatsu Ken's work which doesn't apply to too many other mangakas: 'quality'. His artwork, creativity and storytelling is second to none, and Negima continues the standard of his previous classic 'Love Hina'. With all the spin-offs, merchandizing and second-rate by-products generated by this title, it's sometimes easy to forget just how good the original manga is. I recommend you forget about all the other stuff and just read this, it's great entertainment for pretty much anyone.

So many characters that many are still a wonder like "Zazie Rainyday" . I think it's one of this manga special points.

Best Manga

This my favorite manga ever second to that is love hina. I couldn't thought this wasnt gonna have any real action at all in it, but the fight scene rival that of any action manga like naruto or bleach. Perfect for ecchi comedy lovers.

Why Compare?

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

Honestly, I feel it's stupid to compare two series of totally different Genre, People keep on comparing Love Hina And Negima, I never read the manga of Love Hina but I have watch the Anime and their is nothing worth comparing the two other than the fact that both is Ken Akamatsu's work, and it's ecchiness, but in terms of storyline, duh! it's different alright? Different!

I'm not going to comment anymore of Love Hina because it's the anime version, but as for Negima, having 31 cute girls as students of a 10 year old sensei is not to bad, it's cool, and it's not that everyone agrees to it, think about Chisame. About the story being a little less serious, the story being focused on a 10 year old boy, so it's okay, it's fitting. About character development, the characters lifestories is being intrdoduce one at a time, the manga is not finish, so we can expect the other remaining characters to be explain in a latter time (Plus you cannot expect to make them all main characters, but I believe that everyone else will have a moment in the manga). As for the ecchi stuff, I don't see any malice in it, the fact that they are presented in a very comical and comedic way is tolerable to me (although it's true that the main male protagonist is 10 years old, it's tolerable as long as it's not presented in a serious manner)

I gave Mahou Sensei Negima a Perfect 10!

Akamatsu strikes again!

one of my current favorites.

the fact that there are 30+ distinct characters interacting "normally" without a moment of boredom definitely got me hooked. it might start as another "1 guy + 50 billion chicks" type of manga but the complexity of the magical world and the varying characters definitely waived that thought away immediately.

a must-read recommendation for anyone who likes fantasy based action/comedy.

A great manga that is funny and cute. While it uses many sterotypes, the characters develop and I do care about them. That said: go library girl!!

Akamatsu's best work!

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

I've been following the manga ever since it came out after reading Love Hina. When it started, I continued reading it because it was slightly funny, although I don't think that it's as funny as Love Hina.

Still, as the story progressed, I got more hooked up by the action and magic. The artwork was simply AMAZING. Akamatsu was careful on the details, and made a lot of planning. And, despite of having an manga filled with more than 30+ characters, you can somehow know all their differences. Heck, even the twins!! XD

It doesn't matter if you're not a romance, ecchi or action fan. Negima is one manga that you do not want to miss.

Wonderful

awsome artwork & storyline, intuitive character cast, great in so many ways. Don't think there are any other manga's out there with 30+ 'main characters' that work so nicely lol. But, if you're trying to decide on the anime or the manga first, i'd say the Anime. Why? well, if you read the manga first then go to the anime, you'll be horribly disappointed in the most part. BUT, if you see the anime first, then the manga will be that much sweeter.
