A mediocre spinoff of the hugely successful Negima: magister negi magi series. Since it's not even Ken doing the art, the art isn't too great. While the story seems to parallel the original, it's done in an uninteresting method. While it does follow the Evangeline arc close enough and does it much faster (it finishes in 2 volumes versus 3 in the original series), it is done poorly. It apparently is based off the second anime series for this series. However, true fans know that there is only ONE true Negima anime: Ala Alab OAD's.

Avoid this series and pick up Magister negi magi the manga instead.

When I first saw that there was a new Negima! manga series, I was kinda suspicious of the content. But right when I started reading this manga all of my fears were banished! It starts out at Negi's magic school, and quickly goes right into the storyline. It has elements from both the original anime, original manga, and the new anime. It has all the things the anime had, and all the things it didn't. While having all the things that were great in the manga. It was a refreshing breeze of new idea's and happenings, with an entirely different new art concept, that makes things you recognize seem new. It's more serious then Negima!? More Fantasy then Mahou Sensei Negima, and less fanservicey then Mahou Sensei Negima Manga.

All in all I think that this is a perfect item for the true Negima Fans. I mean with something this good, you just can't get enough of it. Regardless of all the versions out there, this series continues to inspire and uplift me.

If you like the original then you will like the spin off. Fun...boy wizards..magic.. Very funny and full of action.
