Negima continues with volume 10. Again, at center stage is Mahora Academy's annual celebration, MahoraFest!! This one, though, promises to be one that no one will forget soon. Alot happens in this wild little romp. Negi decides to use the time machine that Chao gave him to go back in time; that way, the other him can go through the festival and make his teacher's rounds, while the time-machine Negi can concentrate on his date with Nodoka- which he's kinda scared about, but not nearly as nervous as Nodoka is!!! Also, the Martial Arts tournament begins with the preliminary rounds, and alot of questions are already being raised. How is the tournament being sponsored solely by Chao- and why wasn't she in any record books til two years ago? Will Negi have the magical strength and determination to make it through the tournament? And just how did Kazumi land the announcer's position? Ken Akamatsu's Negima series just gets better and better with every volume. Good luck, Negi!!!

I have the last volume in the twenties now... buy the first one and see if you want to buy more. If not, stop by a bookstore and look at the newer ones. Because like all tales, it starts small.

Than it gets bigger and Bigger and BIGGER.

I have very much enjoyed the both the Manga and the Anime of the Negima series. DelRay has done a wonderfull job with the Manga translations, and the series is just a great time to read.

This is the 10th volume in the ongoing manga series. It is the ongoing tale of Negi Springfield, boy wizard and teacher at a Japanese girl's middle school. This particular volume features the first day of the Mahora Academy Festival. Negi has set too full a schedule for himself, and it seems like he will not be able to fulfill all the commitments he has made, unless he can be in three places at once. Which he can, by a way I won't give away here. He spends several hours on a "date" with Nodoka, the shy girl who is in love with him. It may seem strange for a 13 year old girl to be in love with a 10 year old boy, but he is very mature for his age, and the situation comes off as being very sweet. Oh, she's not the only one of his students who's in love with him, either. Anyway, the last part of the book is about a martial arts tournament, or rather the first round of it. I don't think it's giving away too much to say that Negi gets past the first round, as do many of his students. The tournament will presumably continue in volume 11. This continues to be a delightful series, but there is still the problem of having so many characters, it's hard to keep track of who's who.
