Knowing that the manga is close to ending, I have to say Akamatsu is planting the seeds quite well, this was a great 2 part story with the focus in Setsuna, Asuna, and Eva instead of the one girl thing we have been doing recently.
I quite enjoyed the fight, Eva is still stronger than Negi with says a lot really and the Negi is now immortal twist, wow. I am going to miss this manga, I had been worried it would just end but these last two chapters have shown me Akamastu does have a plan.
