Mahou Sensei Negima! Chapter 288 Discussion

Hmm... after two weeks of waiting, this seems kinda weak. Oh well, it wasn't bad, I guess. What does interest me, though, is that Yuuna might actually become a very important character at the rate things are going.

I have a feeling that Iicho's question at Nekane about Mars is a very important one. Knowing Akamatsu, he doesn't give us this without some intensions.



I like this chapter, nice to see the "sport girls" in the spotlight for a chance.



Only thing that's bothering me is the the return of the "everybody loves the ten year old genius" syndrom. But this isn't the first time, so I'm not that surprised.

True. Whilst the Magic World arc certainly isn't at Bleach-level proportions yet, Akamatsu really needs to move this along, and soon. I mean, so far, every arc has given something to the overall story. The Kyoto arc resulted in Negi gaining leads as to the location of his father, the Demons arc brought about the return of Kotaro and gave Negi significant character development, the Mahorafest arc, on first look, brought us Albireo Imma and his proof that Negi is alive, and on retrospect actually brings us Chao foreshadowing the events of the current arc. And now, the Magic World arc needs to definitively lead us to the next plot development.



However, alexcampos, I think you're exaggerating a little. Whilst we don't know where Nagi is yet, the current arc has revealed two things: 1. He's still alive, as Albireo's pactio proves. 2. He is currently missing because he became a fugitive for rescuing Arika from her execution.



As for Asuna, this arc has shed plenty of light on her, how she was responsible for the events of Ostia, that she is really Arika's cousin, and that she had been travelling with Ala Rubra (although this had previously been hinted at in Asuna's dreams).

and what was evangline doing in negi's dream ??



not to mention why were both of them Naked? :P



It's been like that from the beginning, whenever a magical being enters a dream, he or she is always naked.





Also, even though the chapter wasn't what I expected, I REALLY want to go forward with the story, the magic world arc has lasted too long.



Hopefully Ken Akamatsu can learn from *KUBO* not to stay at a single arc for more than 200 CHAPTERS!



Staying at an arc for a long time has nothing wrong with it in itself. But like Kubo, when it start to go in circle then that's about where it goes wrong.

Great chapter. Negi's reactions were epic :D. Though like others, i also wanted them to move on with the story but a chapter of Negi's kiddo stuff never bores me :D



I hope things pick up pace from now on

Been a little while since we have had harem romance centered chapter. This was more like a troll though, because most likely they won't happen anytime soon.

So since Asuna has been missing for the longest time ( not including the fake ) i would like to see her again.
