----------------------------------------
Negima is clearly a series where my enjoyment of it is heavily dependent upon the character it's focusing on. I liked the stuff with Aisaka (& Zazie too by extension, though I didn't care about her prior to this chapter, I admit I'm a bit interested in her now) & the stuff at the beginning with Mana (if Asakura isn't my favorite, Mana probably is) & Kaede was great but a lot of the rest of the chapter was boring to me, probably because I don't really like any of the characters focused on (sans Kotarou but he wasn't really the focus).
