Mahou Sensei Negima! Chapter 257 Discussion

Wow, now that I look closely, the map of the Magical World genuinely does look like an upside-down map of mars. There are also various landmarks of the same name.



Man, with all this foreshadowing, how did I not see it earlier? Props to Ken.



Guess we'll be seeing Chao soon then?

Well Chao was a Martian, and Martians come from Mars. So Negi thinks that magic might be related to mars.

LOL! Oh crap, now THAT was unexpected...Really, MARS?! Props to Akamatsu-san for it. Completely blew me away xD



I sort of wanted to see Konoka and Setsuna's reaction to Asuna's secret...but this completely made up for it! xD



Too bad such a huge cliffy right before a break >:

Eh, to me the highlight of this chapter was Tosaka again, really liked his little scene with Negi.I loved that scene as well And with the Mars reveal the pieces are coming together.

Ugh, I'm not really sure what to think of this.  After reading some of the responses here mentioning Chao, I guess it makes sense, but it seems a little lame to me.  I like the whole fantasy aspect of the Magical World, but throwing in some science fiction in the works seems out of place.

Looks like we might get some background info on Chao somewhat in the near future. I expect another 1-2 interlude chapters then non-stop action.



My thoughts exactly, if there is a secret in thinking that its Mars, we might get to see Chao again and even find out what she knew !!!

Mars ? o_o suddenly thinking of planets

um yeah I think that everyone forgot that there is at least one person (not asuna) missing and that they have one extra person accounted for...

Maybe Its not really mars but just something chao called it but either way that something pretty big to just now notice

why does there have to be a cliffhanger right as MSN is taking a break

mars, well that was unexpected

chisame and chachamaru really like to be uin chibi forms n_nU

They may be on mars? Okay ...

wait wait... what? i really dont know the connection to Chao here, please someone enlighten me, i may have missed something important or do not remember... *lost*

                        hmmm...this is an interesting development/cliffhanger to make, though I find it funny that it could be Mars of all things. Sucks that MSN will be on break next week.
