Is anybody reading this great manga? Its by Ken Akamatsu, the mangaka of Love Hina fame. This manga has a way better story than Love Hina. Also,the art is more detailed than Love Hina. You can get it from http://home.comcast.net/~manga_0taku/home.htm. :)

Not ONLY has it a way better story...it has MAGIC!! It has FIGHTING!! And most of all, it has MORE GIRLS than you can shake your stick at!! ( Uhh, that sounded a little perverted... :D )
Anyway, this is a great manga...funny as hell, cool magic system (with real Latin spell incantations) and action, and with 31 (read 'em, THIRTY-ONE) different girls to choose from, you're sure to have your favorite and hope that Akamatsu-sensei develops her character more.

Oh yeah I forgot about the anime. I hope if remains faithful to the manga in respects to art style and story, maybe even with some fillers. In a series like this, it seems ok to take liberties when adapting it into anime form, can't have it be exactly the same

Yeah I like the manga it's really funny. But the anime... :xp Not so good.
Here's what I posted at animenation.com
sigh so many things to complain about mostly the animation which was weak/bland heck Xebec did a better job with Love Hina and that came out in 2001 right? :blink I already knew the character designs wasn't going to be good because I saw the OVA short weeks ago, also the hair colors that Xebec changed for some of the girls also bothers me. :cussing
The opening intro song was meh I like the ending much more though.
But why did Xebec take out the beggining of the manga part where Negi gets assign to Japan as a teacher that wasn't in the anime. It's a good thing I read the manga if not I would be confused as hell as to why there's a kid teaching a class. But wasn't that part in that OVA short??? Maybe that scene will be shown in a later episode? The old guy wasn't shown either and they cut out some of the interaction between Negi and that woman with the um big boobs forgot her name lol.
And also another thing to complain about lol the Fanservice is severaly cut down I mean there was hardly any fanservice heck Love Hina provided more. :mad
Overall I was dissapointed with the first episode weak animation, bad character designs and the "flow" of the show felt dissointed. This is one series I don't have high expectations anymore oh well at least there's Ah My Goddess.

That sucks, what boostore are you ordering from? Most stores don't charge extra for special orders. If there's another store in your area I suggest going there, and if all else fails, theres always Amazon or Animenation.com to go through. Sure you have to pay shipping but it's less than shelling out twice the cost at the store you're currently at.

Is there any where to get the manga as batch downloads in several chapters or by volumes? I know directmanga.com has some of them, but I noticed they're missing a few random chapters (they dont even have the raws to the missing ones). But they don't offer batch downloads of more than one chapter or volume from what I can tell.

Stoptazmo.com has all the chapters, with the exception of 90, 91, and the latest release, 101.
Mahora fansubs is doing puting out the latest chapters via bt, and the first chapters are available at their site.
Aquastar is also doing the latest chapter scanslations.
Btw, this is one of my favorite series.
The story is well developed, I love the mystery surrounding all the characters. The character interaction is hilarious and stimulating. And they have a good mix of action, drama, and fantasy. The current story arc is way too compelling, so much that I've been downloading the raws just to get a glimpse of what's going on as soon as possible. Asuna used to travel with the thousand master and his group! she has untapped power and potential! And I think that hooded mage at the tournament is that other mage from the flashback (he was the only one aside from Nagi and Takamichi to not where glasses, he had dark hair in a ponytail).

Just started reading this. I wasn't able to avoid comparing this one to Love Hina, since there are a lot of similarities, even character designs and personalities.
IMO, this is better since there are more girls with interesting backgrounds (Whew, getting to know all of them and even memorizing their names takes a lot of time...). :amuse

Holy shit! This is one very good manga! I can't believe that Ken Akamatsu can actually do very imaginative action scenes.
I've finished 45 chapters so far, and each chapter gets better and better! :amuse
This is better than Love Hina, IMO, but I guess Negima and LH should not be compared to each other since the former is more story-driven, while the latter is more of a rom-com.
Heard that the manga isn't finished yet, I just wonder how long this would be.

07-01-2006, 10:59 PM
Aquastar has realeased untill vol 15 and that stupid del rey only till 10 and realeasing 1 voll every 2 months which totally sux.

I noticed that Akamatsu is still doing the white border around his chars.

lol ya, the fanservice is definatly excessive at times, but then again Ken Akamatsu is kinda known for that XD Love Hina was pretty much the same way. It dosnt really bother me that much though, it leads to some pretty funny moments :P
Question to those current in the manga: What happened to Kotaro? He was in the last arc, but once the whole Chao thing started to go down he just dissappear and was completely left out of Negi's first party thing. They were saying they needed more front line people however none of them even thought of asking Kotaro even though he's always been included as part of the group before that. Kinda makes me mad because I like Kotaro's character and his interactions with everone, but he kinda got shafted in this arc.
dspr8_rugged
07-13-2006, 04:41 AM
*points up*
Kotaro is still upset after his loss to Colonel Sanders/Albireo Ima. And to think that he is like Abarai Renji from Bleach - he lost most of his battles. :P
I agree. Kotaro should be included to become one of Negi's allies against Chao. I mean, after seeing Kotaro and Negi fight against Wilhelm, it would be good if both of them fight together again.
Or maybe, he was just excluded for the "8 days after the festival arc", so that Haruna, Nodoka, Konoka, Chisame and Yue be tested in actual combat. Assuming that Negi and company will be able to go back to Day 3, Kotaro may join them.
Of course, that's just a speculation, but if that were true, that would be cool.
Scorpio3.14
07-14-2006, 01:58 PM
Ya, I know Kotarou is upset about his loss, but he was still hanging with Negi and the others later on in the second day during the whole Concert thing so its not like his so upset he went into hiding.
Anyways, I agree that the author probably wants to develope the other girls a bit, thats why he has Negi locked up right now and probably why he has Kotarou MIA, Eva and Chachamaru no where to be found, and Kaede and Setsuna seperated from the main group. This way some of the others girls get some combat experience.
Still though, I hope Kotarou shows up later and joins the group. He's a cool character.

Ah, so both of us just started reading recently. I started reading the manga 2 weeks ago, and yes, I got hooked after the first chapter. :amuse
Aw, you've read Chapter 140 already? That's no fair! :P
So, after 140 chapters, who's your current favorite 2/3-A girl? Mine's Hasegawa Chisame. I'm a sucker for girls with glasses. :P It's good that she's one of Negi's allies against Chao. :)

Ya, Im new to Negima however I am kicking myself for not reading it sooner lol I kept meaning to read it but I never got around to it until recently. Im glad I did though.
I also only finished the anime a few days ago. It wasnt nearly as bad as I have heard people complain about, but its definatly not as good as the manga. Cant wait for the second season of the anime and the OAV to come out ^__^
Aw, you've read Chapter 140 already? That's no fair! :P
lol Some spanish group scanlated 140 awhile ago and my 5 years of Spanish in High School helped me translate it. However now Im up to 142 since I found out that they post the translation to the RAW chapters really early on the Aquastar forums :huh
So, after 140 chapters, who's your current favorite 2/3-A girl? Mine's Hasegawa Chisame. I'm a sucker for girls with glasses. It's good that she's one of Negi's allies against Chao. :)
Its so hard to pick only one favorite XD Its probably between Setsuna, Nodoka, and Kaede. Dont make me pick just one :cry lol really pretty much all the girls are cool in their own way :wink
Aww, Chisame is cool. Its been bugging me for awhile though, what item do you think she is going to get when/if she makes a Pactio with Negi? Personally Im thinking she will get some kinda magic computer/laptop that does various stuff because I think it suits her. However Ive heard other people say she will get some Cosplay related item/costume. Either way Im sure it will be very interesting as is everything with Chisame and magic lol

DBZ clone? While there has been more of a focus on fighting lately, its is faaaaar from a DBZ clone. While there is a good amount of fighting in Negima, there is also still a lot of comedy, character developement, plot developement, drama, romance, and mystery. DBZ only had fighting and the occasional funny moment really. Yes, Negima is a shounen, but definatly not a DBZ clone.

I know exactly how you feel. Being in the same boat as you, I always had more to read but now I actually have to wait and it sucks XD Oh well, I guess Im used to it by now with many different mangas like Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, HxH (which is a million times worse :cry ) and others.
The Negima anime was crap. Enough said. :notrust
I didnt think it was that bad, but it definatly wasnt that good either :doh However I have high hopes for the second season and the OAV since its done by a completely different company and looks a hella a lot better visually. Will just have to wait and see I guess.

I didn't say negima was a DBZ clone.
I said the fighting styles got turned into DBZ clones. They were doing good at the start, spells and stuff. Then magic somehow=ki and everyone flies and fights like a martial artist. Magic Knight sigh..
there is also still a lot of comedy, character developement, plot developement, drama, romance, and mystery.
And more panties than an underwear shop . I don't know why the mangaka feels the need to include so heavy fanservice. It's not really necessary. Anyway I seriously dislike the mangaka and both his works, so I'll just stay out of here, after the convo about my first point. That is, turning a perfectly decent wizard into some inner-power-burning-spirit-martial-artist =D

I still think to call the fighting styles a DBZ clone is wrong. DBZ had two kinds of fighting, close combat martial arts and Ki blasts, thats all. Recently in Negima we have a character that use Ninja skills (Kage Bunshin, Shurikens, etc...), Guns and various magic projectiles, charms, swords, strings, summoning magic, time control, machines and technology, gravity, Wolf Spirits, Illusion magic, Ice, lightning, Water, Fire, and other skills in their fights. Can you say they did all this in DBZ? There are so many more levels to the Negima fighting system then DBZ had, calling it a DBZ clone just ignores all of them. Yes, there is martial arts, but there is also soooo much more to it.

lol ya, Ken Akamatsu is kinda known for his pervertedness and his ecchi manga haha. If you dont like his style then I guess there is really nothing I can do, to each his/her own. I also feel the fanservice is too excessive but it dosnt really bother me that much. Same with Love Hina, the fanservice was excessive but I still enjoyed the manga a lot. However we are all entitled to our own tastes. I personally really enjoy Negima, both in the beginning and current :amuse

Yeah I was hoping to see more of him. But now isn't he Kaede's disciple? She ask him to train with him after the his fight with Colonel. Makes sense since both have similiar fighting styles.

Yes, that's right. Kaede offered to train him. But we know that Kaede is with Negi's party right now, trapped in the future 8 days after the Mahora festival. Hence, where Kotaro is "8 days after" is still unknown.
derangedwithoutglasses, welcome to the club! If you read the previous posts in this page, me and Scorpio3.14 just read the manga recently... and got hooked upon reading (not to mention, has any of you got to memorize the names of all of Negi's students? :P) .

EDIT 2: Also, just found out that that Tanoshima UK is retranslating the volumes for a UK release.... yay, i can easily go and buy the manga (from august, 3 will be released a month until they reach volume 12) smile-big

I like Setsuna, too, but I like Chisame more (Could have done a signature with Chisame instead, but I got lazy... maybe next time...)
Regarding the anime's "second season", I just hope that at least, it really follows the manga storyline. The first installment, as I said in my earlier post, was crap (not to mention that the staff had to change the hair colors which is really annoying, wait, the colors in the anime are pretty bad, IMO).
It's really sad that Ken Akamatsu's manga works (LH and MSN at the least) become really bad in the anime. :(

I checked the link regarding the Negima second season on ANN. I just noticed, but are Asuna's eyes both blue in the picture? I may sound like a purist, but I feel that Asuna isn't Asuna without the heterochromia.
And with "Negima!?" as title, I thought it will be like "Fumoffu!?" :P

Gandolfini i didnt like when he was first introduced but the stuff he spewed out when he was drunk really make me have some respect for the guy and some pity too... I wanna see how the girls fare off against takumichi and the other one (i wanna find out who the vivi lookalike actually is :oh)

dspr8_rugged
07-21-2006, 09:43 PM
First of all, I have to say Chapter 141 - very ecchi. :P Poor Takane, Mei and Nutmeg... they've lost the battle, their clothes stripped off and tied-up by Haruna's golem (love it when Haruna goes sadistic... smile-big). Now that I think of it, three characters who resemble Naru Narusegawa are in that chapter - Mei, Asuna and Chisame. :amuse
Well, I don't know how Negi will be able to come up with something in order to go back to Day 3. I wonder what even will trigger it or what or who will help him achieve that. Takamichi believes so much in Negi that he thinks that Negi himself can do something that impossible - teleporting back in Day 3.
Yes, the Cassopeia will not do since Chao said in the manual that it utilizes the power of the World Tree to work, hence it is only useful in the Mahora Festival itself. And yes, it won't help since it was that thing that caused Negi and company this much trouble.
The three battles right now is something to look for in the next chapter. I think Ku Fei and Konoka won't have any problems with the griffin/hippogriff thingie. And I think Takamichi will go easy with Asuna and Yue. The only thing that is quite unthinkable is how Chisame, Nodoka and Haruna will deal with the Vivi-like mage and his/her (?) pet Cerberus.
Anemone, have fun reading! I know you can catch up to the latest chapter. The manga is so good that you won't stop reading it. :)

07-22-2006, 07:28 AM
Yeah... i sure didnt when i started reading :amuse
ah, i forgot the fact that the cassiopeia was supposed to only work during the festival using the power of the world tree... it looks like that it is completely impossible to use that to go back to the third day...
Takamichi i think will not use his full power but i think he will go kinda seriously on them from the look on his face... i dont find it plausible that theyll find a way for every single one of them to go back in time... im guessing its all going to rest on Negi's shoulders to try and change the past... i think thats more likely to happen
dspr8_rugged
07-22-2006, 11:11 AM
Theories on how Negi will go back to Day 3:
Some think that someone in Mahora will help Negi (some say it's the headmaster, whom hasn't shown himself for some time already...) to go back in time.
Some say that Negi will learn time magic (which I think is preposterous since it will mean that the "8 days after Mahora Festival" arc will be longer).
Whatever Kamo asked of Chisame to check on the Internet is the key for getting back in time (which is the most probable).
Guess we just have to wait for Chapter 143 to be scanlated, then. This sucks, really. But as they say, patience is a virtue. :cry

i dont know... would there really be a cop out that somewhere on the internet just happens to be the secrets to time travel... it just doesnt seem in good taste to me... i would put my money on him getting some more help... pobaby from the headmaster
also, ive forgotten but has the Thousand Master's clue thing been resolved yet... i dont remember them getting past the dragon... has it just been forgotten about or will it actually have a purpose.... hm, me begins to wonder if theres anything in there that would help them :oh
Hey this manga is great! I've read up to the ones del rey released. and am planning to read the latest scanlations..
i've got a question about the anime since im thinking of watching the fansub.. since its made by the ones who animated love hina, would the negima anime follow the manga?
and the remake looks nice^^. its done by the group that animated mahoromatic.
Deranged
07-22-2006, 02:21 PM
It starts off following the manga but really they went very slowly at the beginning for the space they had... so the Kyoto arc was squashed into the the last half then it divulged away from the manga having its own ending... there are other notable changes throughout but its okay for a short anime (and if you look at it from a non manga purist viewpoint)...
I heard the first printings of the Del Ray manga had quite a few mistakes actually.. i dont know whether to import the Del Ray translations or wait until Tanoshima UK releases the first three volumes in August :oh
AgentMarth
07-22-2006, 03:30 PM
Ah, so this thread is finally picking up a bit. I guess it's time to post.
Well, it seems that the little mage girl was putting on an illusion, but Yue was able to figure it out and then dispel it through the use of her artifact, it seems it's not as useless as it first appeared. About going back in time, it is still up in the air as to how they will do it, but there is so many options out there, wither it be the head master, the internet thing, or maybe even Eva, she hasn't been shown since the 8 day skip, but Negi using the time device pretty much at will doesn't sound like a good idea.
The 144 LQ raw is out, but there is no translation yet, so unless you can read Japanese, you are going to have to wait. Regaurding the release schedule, they should be approximately one week apart, if the HQ raw comes out when it should and if Ken doesn't take one of his many "material collecting" breaks.

AgentMarth
07-22-2006, 04:25 PM
Yeah, the Del-Ray releases are actually quite good, they have been handling them really well for being new to the manga company. The only thing that really stood out was they translated thousand master as southern master at first, but that has since been fixed.
For all the most current chapters, go to aquastar-anime.net The forums there usually have the translation out before the scanlation, if you dont mind reading it that way first. http://www.point-blank.cc:7001/ has torrent of the latest raws and should also host torrents of the [AQS] Chapters as well

*just got back from vacation* YAY!!! This thread is picking up. I was hoping when I started posting in here with dspr8_rugged (since we both recently got into it) that this thread would come back to life a bit. Now we have derangedwithoutglasses and other returning fans, glad to see all this activity. I was really wondering why such a awesome currently running manga wasnt getting any attention at Naruto fan.
Anyways, here his my long over due contribution to recent Negima events
When will Takane and Mei learn not to wear magically summoned clothes??? You would think they would learn from now to maybe wear some real clothes underneath or something. Although that might not work either, since we all know that every magic attack is secretly aimed at ripping off girl's clothing lol
Anyways, some really good chapters. Without Negi and crew there Chao had little problem acheiving her goal, even Takamichi was taken out by a bullet XD Man Mana-chan is cheap, but I still love her :P
Now, Yue is now officially made of badass. Well not really, but she really was awesome in this chapter. I like her even more now. She stood up to (what she thought was Takamichi) without a second though, got majorly pimped slaped by him, then just stood back up and pwned everything. Her book is a very fitting artifact for her. I cant wait for her to be developed even more.
A little bit dissapointed that they were just illusions, I was looking forward to seeing more of their fights, but given how long 4 simulatious fights would have taken and stuff I am content with some Yue developement and moving on to bigger and better things with Chao..
Well I guess Negi is finally free and reunited with his group with what looks like a little help from Takamichi. Now things can really get going hopefully.
As for how I think Negi and crew will get back to the 3rd day, I think they are going to somehow combine all their magic power to get it to work. IIRC, the only reason why it only works during the Mahora festival was because of all the excess magic in the air from the tree. If a person had enough magic power on his own I would think it would work without the tree. Also, earlier in the manga Konoka asked if magic from one person can take you back 24 hours, can you go back further if there is more people? I think that is going to be the case, they will all combine their magic power (atleast the ones that have magic power). However, there is a problem with this. Of the group, only Negi, Konoka, Yue, and Nodoka can use magic of their own and only Negi and Konoka have a significant amount of power. Will just this be enough to go back a whole week, without the tree's help? Idk, we are going to have to wait and see I guess.
Wow, that was a big update. Had to make up for the week lol Now to go unpack.......

And to think that Chapter 141 takes the cake for having the most number of undressed girls! :P
-----
I'm looking forward to what you guys have posted regarding Chapters 143 and 144. Just need to wait for the scanlations. :)
Regarding Del Rey's version of Negima, I have to say that it's good. Actually, I read the first few chapters through Del Rey's releases (to be honest, I was reading it privately in a local bookstore. :P). Of course, some say that there are inconsistencies and mistakes in the translations, but I really don't mind.
Yes, the dragon or whatever it is under Library Island hasn't been developed yet (it's somewhere in the 60's, and heck we're at 140+ already!).
There are still a lot of things need to be resolved (including the lack of character background for Zazie Rainyday - I wonder who she really is...). Hopefully Akamatsu will be able to do it.
BTW, how come there's no Negima FC in the fanclubs section? :huh

ah yes... now i remember, that was all before the cultural festival arc (wait, by that mark, this arc has been going on for nigh 70 chapters :oh)... well i think theres enough going on at the moment to just sort of neglect that part i guess but i really want to see a resolution to that...

Yes, the Mahora Festival arc is the longest arc that the series had so far. As I said, there are still other things that need to be resolved:
-Will Negi be able to go back to Day 3 and stop Chao completely? And if he does, what will happen to Chao after?
-What lies behind the dragon under Library Island?
-Will there be some chapters dedicated to the rest of the 3-A girls (like Akira and Zazie)?
-Will Fate Averruncus return to fight Negi for another time?
-What is the reason behind Asuna's magic cancelling ability? Does it have something to do with her heterochromia? How did she and Nagi's party meet?
-Who will Negi end up with?
-And is the Thousand Master still alive? Will he and Negi finally meet?
Just some of the questions that readers would like to be answered in future chapters.
Oh yes, the Negima FC is born! *goes to the FC* :amuse
BTW, did you personally made those contract cards? :)
AgentMarth
07-23-2006, 01:18 PM
Yeah the cultural festival arc has been going on for quite a while now, but at least it has been kinda split up with the tournament part, the different event parts like the date with Nodoka, and the Tea party and haunted house, and then now the events surrounding Chao. While it's always bothersome waiting for questions to be answered, I can overlook them in this case because I am enjoying the current part as is, I even forgot about the white hair kid and the dragon for the time being.
Right after this arc though, I hope they explore Asuna's past more, why she can cancel magic out, why she was with Nagi and his group, but most importantly, what was with Takamichi calling her princess?
Oh and it wouldn't be Akamatsu's work if it wasn't ecchi, he's known for that

Yeah, most of those questions have popped up in my mind at one point or another over the last huge batch of chapters since the festival arc started... i hope we get some more answers soon (and perhaps a new arc :huh)
Oh yeah, i went to download all the availible music for the anime series, i wasnt suspecting much as it waa a short 26 episode series (about 2 singles, 1 ost and maybe a couple of character singles)... i was surprised when i found there were 6 OP singles, 2 ED singles, an OST and 12 character vocal albums (which i have yet to find more than 2 of :cry).. great thing was there were cards with each one of them so i was very placated (i really like the contract cards alot) :amuse

I'm curious about it, as well. Especially when Takamichi said that Negi's father would agree to Chao if he knew about it. Which makes me think whether Chao's supposedly evil plan has a "nice" tune to it.
I guess Setsuna is so loved by most Negima readers (samurai girls rock! :amuse ). But for me, it's still Chiu-chan! :P

Well about the "new season" from what I've read in summaries about the series it's not a sequel to the one that Xebec did instead it's a remake which also takes place later part of the manga.
I'm looking forward to it sounds interestings as to what there doing with this series. Plus I'm sure they saw the mistakes that Xebec did which cause many fans of the manga to be very upset.
Now with the actions scenes I'm sure the director will do a great job with that his done Soul Taker, Petite Cossette, Lyrical Nanoha, Moonphase and he also did a great job with the comedy too especially in Pani Poni Dash!
So I'll doubt the comedy and the actions scenes will fall flat on it's face like the first series did.
The character designs for the remake TV series look better then the OVA character designs so I don't really have much of a problem with that.
Here's some images of the new series by Shaft:

If it turns out that Asuna's eyes have some kind of link to her magic canceling abilities, or an important connection to her past, they will have made a mistake in making them both blue, but for all we know, they could just be like that in the promo pictures, well thats probably not true but what I want to believe.
Kotaro wasn't in the 1st anime? I never watched it past ep 5 I think, once I started seeing to many changes, that and fell behind on the fansubs. I really hope this one follows the manga more precise than the other one did.

Hmm... based on those links, it seems that "Negima!?" will really be an original material and will be different from the manga. So that kills hopes of people who wanted it to follow the manga storyline. Even Akamatsu approves of it.
Seems like most (if not, all) of the VA from the first installment are still doing voices for the characters. I mean, I'm not expecting it to change despite a change of studio.
This new installment seems interesting despite the fact that it deviates itself from the manga storyline.

Damn so that means that it won't follow the manga. What is it with Akamastu's work that they never have a good anime equivalent. Well at least I am going to try to watch this one still, I never picked back up the other one after a ceratin spoiler I heard about what I think was ep 23 of it.

Just a random thought...
Have you ever wondered that maybe Masashi Kishimoto and Ken Akamatsu are actually sharing information with their respective works?
Akamatsu has used Naruto's famous "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu" and Sasuke's "Evil Windmill Shuriken" for Kaede...
Kishimoto, in Naruto Chapter 316, had this "earth on the left hand, water on the right" thing... does that sound similar to the "Kanka"?
I know that it's just coincidential, but amusing, nonetheless... :P
Deranged
07-26-2006, 10:50 AM
this is quite coincidental.... i know for one the idea of ninja techniques like kage bushin no jutsu is used in many other series... one that comes to mind is himiwari :oh
The idea of the combination of chi/ki (physical energy) and a spirital/magical/etc energy isnt that uncommon and is done differently... just that we noticed these two being very similar because well... the presentation of it is near enough identical
AgentMarth
07-26-2006, 12:22 PM
Yeah the Ninja techniques have been in alot of different manga and anime. I remember watch Samurai Deeper Kyo and hearing the one guy say the Kage Bunshin technique name while using it. Flame of Recca also uses some of the techniques as well, thats all I can think of off the top of my head.
But yeah, the way it was presented in Naruto made me think of Negima right off the bat, the whole scene where Takamichi is have trouble with it then Asuna just does it like childs play, that was great.

AgentMarth
08-04-2006, 12:09 PM
Patience is a virtue, but 144 should be out somewhat soon, the hard part will be waiting for 145, with the week break Akamatsu is taking again.
The reason 144 has the lq tag is when the volume is release, rather than the weekly magazine scans, that is labeled as hq when AQS releases it. Unlike with say Naruto, to clean up a Negima raw would not be worth it, Akamatsu loves to put alot of details in the background or on the characters, so cleaning one chapter, well, lets just say you hate waiting now so...

The LQ version of Chapter 145 has been released for anyone who is interested. However there is apparently some bigger news to report in the world of Negima manga.
It seems there is going to be a new Negima manga starting in November. This manga will be based on the new anime series being produced by Shaft (more info on the anime in the Negima Anime Thread (http://forums.narutofan.com/showthread.php?p=4767668#post4767668)). The origional manga will of course keep going, but the new manga will just start things all over with different plots and situations most likely.
Info is from pages included in the Chapter 145 LQ raw and the info was translated by Sushi-Y's over at the AQS forums
According to the newest information from Shonen Magazine and Comic Bonbon, as well as MOON PHASE, a new Negima manga based on the upcoming new Negima anime, "Negima!?", will begin serialization on the November issue the monthly magazine "Comic Bonbon", also owned by Kodansha.
The mangaka will be Fujima Takuya of Essentia. An artist who's active in both the commercial manga business, as well as doujin productions. (His drawing style tends to be kind of ero-moe, but retaining a really clean look) I've seen his art from "EVE~ New Generation~" on CompAce, it's quite nice. (For some reason, I really want to see how he draws Takamichi ^^; )
Comic Bonbon is targeted towards elementary school-age readers, so the contents of this manga should be quite "all-age".

No biggie. cough*Gainax*cough lol
As for the manga you know I wish there was more of that girl Zakie sp? the one with the tear drop. Something about her seems a bit mysterious since she doesn't talk and didn't she already know some magic?
You know I wish Ken Akamatsu would do? I'll be something like what Jin (who does School Rumble) does which are Side B stories which basicly have characters that don't really have much engament in current story. Usually this stories are side stories or we get to see another point of view during what's going on in the story from their perspective.
That would give characters more time to shine rather then being forgotten. :notrust
dspr8_rugged
08-06-2006, 06:33 AM
Don't worry, Gutsu. Zazie Rainyday will get her time in the spotlight in the future. For sure, Akamatsu hasn't forgotten about her. :)
Yes, as of now, there are speculations on what she really is. Her being a mysterious character makes you think that she's highly involved in the magic world (some even speculate that she's the daughter of one of Nagi's companions...).
Well, I'm curious how the new Negima manga based on the new anime will fare. Hope that it won't contradict Akamatsu's original work, despite being totally different (as sources claim).

Question...
I'm near chapter 80, and I'm wondering how come Asuna's weapon is changing. On the card she stands with a large really kickass sword and most of the time she uses a fan? I only seen her use the sword once, at the island resort that the Iincho rented when asuna rescued negi from teh fake sharks.

Asuna's patio artifact at that point is connected to her emotions. When she gets very serious, scared, angry, etc... her artifact will change from the fan to the sword. She later more or less masters it so that she can use the sword whenever she wants.

I think I'll buy all of them when they will be available in my own language (italian) but that may take a long time ... in the meanwhile, i'd like to read them in english.
Might some of you point me to a source to get volumes 9, 10 and 11 ?

i wached the anime (i put it in here because of the manga spoilers) and was to say the least dissapointed.
when negi asked evangeline to be her master she just accepted and didnt have him fight chachamaru wich means he didnt train with ku fei also they never used evandgelines manision.
when yue asked nodoka why she liked negi she said it was because negi had a goal that he was aiming at , the problem is that in the anime they never train in evangelines maisson so she never get to know his goal. he also dont tell her about it so how can she know he has a goal.
when they go to kyoto doggie-guy (whos name eludes me at the moment) dont appear also since negi havent started his magic training with evangeline he doesnt know about his fathers house there , in fact there is almost no sceanes where he discuss things about his father with varius people in the entire anime, wich is strange since it is quite a big issue in the manga, not even with nodokas father who used to be nagis friend and party member. also nodoka makes a pact with setsuna and not negi, wtf??
also in the end of the anime when asuma dies it dont make sense at all sure i can get the part where she got cured by a deamon and only get 10 years to live but after that when in the strange episode where we se 4 year asuna geting protected by her entier class against 3000 deamons negi makes a pact with his ENTIRE class (even the gost that for some reason didnt go to heaven in the anime) then they go back in time with the time machine that is only suposed to work when the world tree is glowing and in 2 hours they build a anti deamon curse machine and disspells the curse.

There's one thing that came into my mind upon seeing the last page of the latest chapter - Portkey. :P
Finally, the guys are seem to be getting back to Day 3, and it's all thanks to Chisame's presence (that's my girl! :P). I just hope that she wasn't traumatized by the events that happened and by the fact that she's getting herself into a lot of trouble for being connected with Negi.
And that dragon or whatever monster it is has finally appeared after being absent for the longest time.
Obviously, Negi has still doubts on whether stopping Chao is the right thing to do. And it was kinda predictable that he will be able to go back in time and ask Chao herself on whatever reasons she has for causing a lot of trouble.

I remember AgentMarth saying this to me before, he said that Meow no longer exists. Even the Mahora scanlating group is nowhere to be found too.
Figured as much, they have been inactive for over a year. I was just wondering if anyone read Negima a year ago and happened to remember a way to contact them.
I've been messing around with editing manga scanlations (typesetting and stuff) and I got an idea to pick up where Mahora left off making HQ Negima scans of the eariler volumes since I have the HQ Raws on my computer. Only problem is I dont speak Japanese nor do I know anyone who does that would be willing to translate it. I was thinking of redoing Meow's work useing their tranlation so I wanted to contact them to ask permission. I would give them full credit of course, everyone who worked on the origional project would get credited. Just an idea of mine but I thought it was worth a shot, but I cant seem to find any way to contact Meow...
EDIT: I was practicing and made some samples just because :P I think they turned out pretty good if I do say so myself. Especially considering today was my first time editing and typesetting 0__0 Still have stuff to learn though. I also have a new found respect for scanlation editors @__@

Although they lost their translator, which pretty much caused them to die out, you may still be able to contact them, I had this old link to their one and only website saved in my favorites, and I also searched them on Baka-updates. It looks like they my be reachable on IRC, but that may be it.

And the pictures look good, I take it you used the HQ version of the raw though, am I right? Just keep in mind, there are alot of characters who like to think their thoughts, therefore making them not in the bubble, and those can be a pain to cover up/rebuild if you want to go that far. Alot of people don't realize how hard all the editing can be, that double page for 144, I was the one who had to put that together, there was like a half an inch that was just not there, it was a pain, so I am just sticking to coloring pictures for now.

I went to the IRC channel a few days ago and while I cant connect to the server irc.firewirez.net, I did manage to check out their channel on chat.firewirez.net but there seems to only be a few bots there now a days (or atleast no one answered me. I left my email for if anyone read it later and never got a response.) I guess thats understandable since its been over a year since they've been active.....
And the pictures look good, I take it you used the HQ version of the raw though, am I right? Just keep in mind, there are alot of characters who like to think their thoughts, therefore making them not in the bubble, and those can be a pain to cover up/rebuild if you want to go that far. Alot of people don't realize how hard all the editing can be, that double page for 144, I was the one who had to put that together, there was like a half an inch that was just not there, it was a pain, so I am just sticking to coloring pictures for now.
Ya, Im useing the HQ raws. They look really nice.
Ya, I actually picked those practice pages because they included some text outside of a bubble that covered some of the picture so I could practice redrawing. On the first pic a lot of Asakura's hair was covered so I had to redraw that and then in the second pic Negi's hair was also covered so I had to redraw it again. It is definatly a bit of work but I think it turned out pretty good all things considered ^__^

Those are neat scans. Nice job, Scorpio. :thumbs
Come to think of it, if we just have the right people, we can have our own scanlating group. I remember lzyjosh doing something like this too. And it seems that all we need is a translator. :amuse

I actually have a cousin who knows the language, but I think it will be pretty awkward to ask a 30-something-year-old woman to read and translate some ecchi manga. :sweat
Anyway...
When I saw the announcement by AQS in Chapter 145 regarding the OVA and second anime installment, I was actually fooled into believe that Kotaro is going to be present in the OVA or in the new anime, since he was included in the group picture.
But when I was re-reading some chapters, I realized that the group picture in the announcement was actually the cover of a certain chapter, colored to look like it's the same character art of the upcoming anime. :P

I wish, I want Kotaro in the OVA's and/or the new series!!! Heck, I want him back in the manga, he has been MIA for quite a while now :notrust
On a different note, the LQ raw of chapter 147 is out for anyone who reads the raws. Here is the rapidshare link: http://rapidshare.de/files/30824319/negima147lq.zip.html

EDIT: I was practicing and made some samples just because :P I think they turned out pretty good if I do say so myself. Especially considering today was my first time editing and typesetting 0__0 Still have stuff to learn though. I also have a new found respect for scanlation editors @__@

Wow, your images are really good. Almost the standard of the images in my orignial books smile-big.
If only we have a translator, I'll start my own scalating group. Actually, i have a japanese friend. But he took one look at a page and told me the fanservice put him off.

w00t! Some good news (atleast I think so :P) I got in contact with the old scanlation group "Meow" and I got permission to use their old releases as a base for HQ scanlations. Im planning to start off where Mahora left off with their HQ scanlations (chapter 19) and start releasing HQ chapters from there.
Unfortunatly I can't guarantee a very fast or consistant pace with these releases since its only me doing them right now and I just started school up again XD but we will see how things go :nod
Im already more then half way through my first chapter though :amuse
EDIT: Yay! First chapter is done ^__^ Well atleast with the exception of the credits page which Im to tired to do right now XD I will upload the chapter tommorrow mourning.

Ok, first chapter is done. Tell me what you guys think, both about the chapter and the project itself. Do you guys thing there is enough demand for HQ scans to warrent this project? Anyways, here is the first release:

And er, I would thought people would be more interested in the lastest chapters?

Well, despite that fact that translations and raws have been released, there's still no official scanlation release, which I'm waiting for... and which means, there's nothing to talk about regarding the latest chapters. :)

Just a little update.... This is magnificent, Mahou Sensei Negima is much easier to clean and typeset than Air Gear was... (for Air Gear it would take me hours to clean a page to a half job standard...)
Ill be happy to help bring out these HQ releases as well... i already got through the first few pages of chapter 20.. :amuse
Have a littl problem though... normally, my policy on sound effects would be not replace them with english one but to keep them there and add an SFX note... however i am a little unsure on what most of the sounds are... and not wanting to mistranslate, i think ill just leave the majority of them alone... :oh

Sure, here is a sendspace link:

The problem with the latest chapters is that some of us read the raws and translations while some wait for the scanlations (me being the former, I dont have the patience :P). Rest assurmed, I still wait anxiously every week for the new chapter release ^__^ The Festival arc is finally coming to a climax!!!
ah cool.... i work in a scanlation group... weve grown quite large so i generally dont have to work on every chapter like i did when we first started... ill have a look for the HQ raws and help you out then... :amuse
Awesome, I would be glad to accept any help you could offer :amuse We should probably coordinate our efforts though to make sure we arn't doing the same pages and that we are useing same formatting standards for consistancy. I was thinking of useing MC as a base for this like you guys do with Air Gear but it seems it will be down for atleast a little bit longer.
edit: Anyways, as of today I have done the first four pages (79-83) and the last four pages (94-97) of Chapter 20.
Just a little update.... This is magnificent, Mahou Sensei Negima is much easier to clean and typeset than Air Gear was... (for Air Gear it would take me hours to clean a page to a half job standard...)
Ya, I tried to clean a few pages of Air Gear just for the heck of it and that was crazy XD Mahou Sensei Negima has a hard page every now and then but its not really that bad which is why I felt I could take up the project.

Since I dont speak Japanese and am useing Meow's work as a base, my general polocy so far is to just do the stuff that they did. They generally left the SFX alone so I do too since I dont know what they mean without Meow's translation.

Oops... should have mentioned yesterday that had done the first five pages of chapter 20 :P
I feel like we're restoring old pieces of art... perhaps we should call our selves the Negima Restoration Society.... I can make a cool credits page as well... i did the current one we're using for air gear :laugh

Oh well, we will just have to come up with a system so stuff like this dosnt happen :P We can either split the chapters up or just do alternating chapters, or just "call" certain pages when you can do them so we know whats done/being done at the time. Idk, whatever works.

lol I was thinking almost the same thing, something like Negima Restoration Project but Society sounds cool too. Great minds thing alike I guess :P
That would be great if you could make a credits page page. I just used the filler page that was already in the Raw and wrote text on that XD Im not that great at creating stuff from scratch lol

Yeah... that sounds great.. ill make something up... but i wont be able to do anything today as im the only member on call apart from the translator at MC scans... so im doing the whole chapter by myself... air gear hurts :cry to scanlate that is, the rest is pure gold... :amuse

No biggie. I'm not really expecting lightning fast speed for this project or anything, just something done in mine (and now your :P) spare time. Shouldnt be too bad since we arnt limited by translations or anything though.
I feel for you on the Air Gear thing. A whole chapter by yourself in a day is insane @__@ I cleaned about 1/3 of Chapter 27 today and the redrawing is a bitch. Plus it can be quite text heavy.

Well Negi is having some reservations whether Chao is right.
Revealing magic to the world would make it a better place.
Not only is Chao his student but his his decendant as well.

Now that we have the specific details of Negi's plan I have to say it was pretty good. However, since the battle started early I guess everyone will have to make do without Negi for a bit since he is still weak at the moment. Im looking forward to some interesting match-ups for the final show down.
