Welcome to Gaia! ::

lol this is funny but an awsome series ^_^ i love this series...its continueous in the manga....im waiting for number 206 to come out (or the next ones ^_^)

....but then the anime just RUINS ALL OF THE GOOD EFFORT THE MANGA PUT IN....i recommend DO NOT EVER WATCH THE ANIME...IT SUCKS.....like the last couple episodes are mabey desent....but everything just sucks in the anime....

i give it a 9/10 because the goddam anime RUINED IT crying .....

but onto the good...the MANGA RULES ^_^ its so awsome...yes there is like a couple of chapters that are alil boring...but its only 30 pages to the AWSOMENESS ^_^

heres the definition:

Negi Springfield is a ten year old wizard (NB he starts out at 9 and is 10 years old as the story goes on) from Wales, a principality of the United Kingdom, who dreams of becoming a Magister Magi (Approximate Latin translation: "Master Mage"), a special wizard who uses his powers to help normal people using covers such as working for NGOs.

Negi's reason for becoming a Magister Magi is to find his father, Nagi Springfield, the legendary mage also known as the "Thousand Master" who many believe to be dead (though the name Thousand Master was cast into doubt in book 3 (Anime Episode 9) when Evangeline flashes back and he states he only mastered a few spells). Later, it is exposed that while his power or ability seem to be among the greatest in the magical world, he regularly uses an 'anchoko', or crib sheet, since he apparently does not bother to memorize the spells themselves.

After graduating from the Merdiana Magic Academy in Wales, Negi is given a duty as a cover in the real world, and training, before he actually becomes a Magister Magi. That duty is to become an English teacher at Mahora Academy in Japan. The task will not be easy, however, as Negi will become a teacher to a Middle School class of 31 older girls, each very special in her own way. The series details his time and adventures in Japan as he gains acceptance and respect from his students, helps them in their problems, and faces magical threats from inside and outside Mahora Academy. His main relationship is with Asuna Kagurazaka, his student and roommate, who dislikes him initially but later accepts him as a friend and becomes his partner, helping find clues about his father and his life.

The series, while initially appearing to be another bishōjo work like Love Hina, has progressed into a mix of bishōjo, shōnen action, fantasy, horror, romance and comedy. Akamatsu stated that he specifically wanted to do something "different" than Love Hina. Negi himself is prepubescent, and many of his scenes with Asuna are specific subversions of the "awkward romantic scene" tendency of bishōjo manga, quickly diffused and only played for laughs. In addition, many of the girls are able to fawn over him in a childish sense without any romantic expectations from the reader. Like Love Hina, Negima also features a lot of fan service, but different from Akamatsu's early work, Negima goes farther, featuring even full frontal nude.

In keeping with this style, Negi himself is seen as a contrast to Love Hina's Keitaro and other typical male leads of bishōjo manga. He is hardworking, capable, and treated kindly, but due to his appearance and age (well below most of his students), he feels completely non-threatening and finds it difficult to be taken seriously as a teacher; many of his students treat him as a cute little kid, if not a playmate.

Summary of major events in manga

The events differ from those in the anime. (my edit....THERES SO MANY CHANGES)

Negi starts out as a young boy who simply does what he does to chase after his father, a famous mage. His next test to be like his father, is to be teacher of 31 unique girls. Every obstacle the girls throw at him, he triumphs. Occasionally, he gains help from his students through a pactio, which gives the girl a magical artifact and can sometimes transform into magical beings. However, after suffering near losses from Fate Averruncus (a pawn of a more powerful unknown opponent) he realizes he must become stronger if he hopes to achieve his dream of meeting his father. He, though a teacher, asks his students to teach him to be stronger. With training, he triumphs against an old foe, who also was employed by a more sinister opponent. He is also able to crush his former student's, Chao's, attempt to show magic to the whole world. With this, he decides to push on and goes to the Magic World for more information about his father. There, he meets Fate once again. Despite having lots of his friends along (each with pactios or their own abilities), he is unable to score a decisive victory against Fate. He and his friends are teleported to separate areas. Negi resumes his training in hopes to find his friends.
