Mahou Sensei Negima! Chapter 88 Discussion

                        ----------------------------------------

                        The tournament finally starts & by the looks of things, is going to last awhile. This should be one of the first prolonged venture into battle shonen territory with one of the genre's biggest staples, the tournament arc. To be honest, I'm not huge on these arcs since they're mostly just battle, battle, battle, etc. & duh, it's in the title. But hopefully it sports some cool battles at least, the series has yet to really due that for me so far.
