After a break it's back again. My memory is a little foggy from here, I know it's still a while until the school festival but I'm sure it's more than just character focus episodes.
After a whole week how is everyone enjoying it? Is the nostalgia holding up? Got your best girl picked out? How many new readers have we picked up?
That's all for tonight. Thanks for sticking around and reading with me. Sorry for the absence yesterday but I'll be back again tomorrow. 5pm PDT as always
I was going to call Ako out on her swimsuit but you can see her thing here

Becoming something different can be fine, but I wish they would be given a chance to return to where they came from. Rosario + Vampire was another that should have returned to how it started.
>o I'm sorry Nodoka, but how the fuck do you even get 17 points in 10 frames? Even my dumb ass can get like 60-70 most of the time.
Jacob Reed
Thanks for doing this.
Jason Ortiz
Obscenely strong yet dumb women are the best wife material, it's the same reason why Ayla from Chrono Trigger is such a good character.
Julian Ortiz
Sadly, unlike the average hare-brained Shonen protag Negi is too smart to have a ravenous appetite to make stacks of Bento go down easy.
Gavin Taylor
God I wish that were me.
Liam Fisher
Sorry about that guy, I was doing the night shift at work, may or may not be here tomorrow night as well, might see a movie withe the family.
Gavin Gray
Imma have to side with Asuna-san on this one, after the events of Library Island and Eva there's no excuse not to have her join the adventure, even if Negi IS trying to say that she's delicate.
Isaac Hill
Asuna a best
Luis Ross
An ogre saw her bare butt
Brandon Miller
Between this and Yugami I am set.

>After a whole week how is everyone enjoying it? Is the nostalgia holding up? Got your best girl picked out? I really liked Nodoka when I read these volumes back then, but I think my favorite has set to Chisame over the years.
John Baker
I like how Eva's basically a boomer who has gotten jaded over the years but still has a slight bit of hope in her heart for when something truly nice happens.
Samuel Martin
Hey, it's been 16 years, 3 months, and 10 days since this conversation happened! Wonder what they're up to now, probably nothing major.....

What a waste of money.

>After a whole week how is everyone enjoying it? Is the nostalgia holding up? Got your best girl picked out? How many new readers have we picked up? As a new reader I've got no nostalgia to influence my feelings but I'd say this is fun enough so far. The girls are cute and I dig the magical hijinks. The main thing I'm interested in as someone reading this for the first time is how I'll feel about the genre shift knowing about it in advance, since most of the old readers on here seem to prefer this earlier atmosphere. Either way I'm interested enough to see where this goes. Thanks for the dump as always OP.
Also Ku Fei is best girl.
Daniel Watson
I swear this manga sets unrealistic expectations for what a typical smothering should be. GOD I WISH THAT WERE ME.
Austin Adams
I now remember where my taste for rhythmic gymnastics comes from.
Aiden Jones
I can't believe Negi is fucking dead. What a way to go.
Aiden Sanchez
Nodoka with the Cardcaptor Sakura cosplay going on here!
Isaac Richardson
I dropped it as soon as it started with that tournment bullshit back in volume 10.
It had a kinda nice start, but it's just your usual softcore porn shonen, so whatever.
Michael Ortiz
Damn, they were one off from TF2 greatness. I don't count Chamo-kun in this equation.
Wyatt Rogers
I'd say the volume long fights start around the Mahora Festival arc. Up to this point they haven't really had battles last beyond a few chapters at most, but around then it should be more of a shonen. It gets REAL GOOD there though, so stick around!
Colton Wood
Thanks for the dump.
Connor Flores
What's your opinion in Akamatsu's artistic talent?
The guy's work is similar to Toriyama imo.
Adrian Ross
Later in the manga they outright tell you that Negi is stupidly selfish. He wants to be like his father by himself, without the help of his friends, not realizing until it was too late that Nagi was strong because he had a lot of strong friends. The Bad End and the Good End is proof of how much of a difference is having your friends around.
Christian Thomas
I think that's one of the differences between Negima and UQ Holder. Negi does his hypberbolic time chamber 100x gravity training by himself while Touta does a lot of his training with his friends.
Zachary Brooks
To be completely honest if the whole manga stayed as a harem romcom I probably wouldn't have given it the time of day, but hearing about how it actually turned out to the author's ruse cruise to make a full-fledged battle manga made me a hell of a lot more interested. I'm eager to get to it.
Levi Watson
the author pandered so much fan service at the beginning. noone else had this many sexy girls in a single manga back when negima was printed. it all starts to go downhill starting at the festival.
