It’s almost boring until you see the settings in which it takes place. Now so far Negima 1 is basically a carbon copy of Love Hina with some magic in it. But I’ll put money on it by the end of the series he will be a different character (gee I wonder how I know that). He is shy, quirky and at the begining of the story a bit of a dweeb. Negi is a decent lead character, typical to the genre.
Although this might not be a bad thing because Love Hina was drawn superbly. In the end you have 30 characters that generally look the same and many look like they came straight from Love Hina. That and Ken’s drawing abilities only go so far. It’s a novel idea, but I think its out with the storys limits. One problem I did have though is the 31 kids in the classroom. The core characters are fantastic, they all work together and in some cases clash. There is nothing amazing or out of this world in the first volume, instead of being thrown in at the deep end, the story slowly builds momentum wait until volume 3 before it gets into full swing. Over the course of the volume we get the usual class adapting to their new teacher, we’ve all been through it at some point in our lives so it’s to identify with the story, which makes it easier to concentrate on other parts of the plot. Negi finally gets shipped off to Japan and is introduced to his class and fellow protagonists (there are 31 of them!). The story for the first volume of Negima! is fairly simple. Get lots of cute girls, add in some fan service every 10 pages, a bit of will they won’t they and mix it all together in your cauldron and out pops Negima!. It may seem a little rough around the edges, but I’ll work something out.įor anyone familiar with Akamtsu’s previous work, this should be a no brainer. For this review, and I think the whole series I’ll split it down into 3 distinct areas.
Now where to begin with Negima! ? there is so much to talk about, but I’m struggling to censor myself in order not to give the game away. Fortunately for him there are a wealth of characters to offer support and, most of the time, get him in to trouble. Over the course of Volume 1 we follow Negi as he begins to adjust to life in Japan and his class. It’s focused on Negi, the 10 year old wizard who has somehow ended up in Japan teaching to a class of cute Japanese School girls. Negima! Is the latest manga series from acclaimed manga-ka Ken Akamatsu (of Love Hina fame).
Welcome to the life of Magister Negi Magi! or to you and me, Negima! And for our lucky protaganist he’s managed to bag himself a job as an English teach in Japan. With the ceremony over it’s time for the students to find out what fate has planned. Although at this Welsh school, things are a bit different. Thousands of children graduating from school and moving on to see what life has in store.
