Mahou Sensei Negima! Chapter 352 Discussion

I really hope the faking death is the correct theory here, because even if (well unless your immortal) you know the MC is gonna die one day they shouldn't end it with his death... my only sliver lining that the theory of fake death has merit is that when she looked him up it said his "location" was unknown, but it did show him grow so its possible he really wasn't immortal, so if that was the case do you think he was killed? supposing he truly did die, because he died way before Ayaka did, he could have had some disease or worked himself to death, well we will see i suppose, hopefully he fixes this in 3 chapters because this really isn't what i wanted for the ending at all.

^EXACTLY!



Was I supposed to feel like crying after a FORCED emotional scene?



If anyone read Negima's first 3 Volumes and then came to this chapter they would have a million questions....unfortunately for them most of those questions have still not been answered!!!



I'm not gonna lie, I came here to rant, but I think this chapter shows for itself how retarded this series is ending.



Thank you Ken....for ruining a once great manga.

Well. Im still feeling a little shell-shocked by the knowledge that MSN will end in three chapters.



I mean, it'll feel like the end of the sixth Dune novel (admittedly the author died shortly after its release, so he has an excuse) with just a bloody cut off stump and my confused face looking at it saying "Eeehhh? This is the end?"



Seeing Chao was awesome again. Im sure Eva will have something interesting to say too!

I... what... the... unexpected... that's all I say

i just want to see the ending already....iǘe been reading this thing for 5 years....just let it end, it was good enough

thanks for all the time, negi

You seem to forgot the most important thing, people... NEGI'S FATHER. Seriously! So we are to believe Negi died without finding him? I know it's a minor subplot that's been going on only since THE BEGINNING OF THE SERIES and was mentioned in just all of the chapters but still - wouldn't it be nice to see it resolved?



But all in all - this series is very very bad. Leaving aside the protagonist's age - totally not matching either the "saving the world" part or the "girls drooling all over him" part - there are too many things unexplained, like the whole Negi's plan to save the magic world (meaning: all the latest chapters) and the changes from superdrama to silly ecchi harem comedy (again, the guy's too little, it's literally disgusting) are just to sudden and unreasonable.



My guess - Asuna will meet with Negi somehow after all. The author shouldn't have much trouble with him being dead, I mean stupid readers have already bought much more of the stupid, nonsensical "magic needs no explanation" sh*t, right? Also we'll learn Negi met with his father at last - though since there are three chapters left, don't hope for a good explanation where he was and what he was doing all this time.



Have I mentioned this series is stupid and makes no sense?

I do not think that Negi is dead.

In the database that Asuna looked in it say that his whereabout are actually unknown so I take it that he might have disapeared like his father once did and that the gravestone is just there because Negi is thought to be dead.



Because a darker manga than MSN with Asuna and Eva as lead trying to find Negi would be win.

Rather than seeing it as a end I like better to see it like a ground to build something on.

My point is that Negi's whereabout are unknown, that's not what happen when you are dead. The most probable explanation to that is that Negi was MIA/disapeared like his father once did.

From there on it isn't hard to see a connection between Negi and Nagi which would make futur plot evolve in this way so that we get a full picture of what happened.



Chao used time travel to go in mahora but who invented that time travel? Suddenly we got someone which whereabout about are unknown, suposely a genius and the only one to have experienced time travel himself.

I could well see Negi leaving this era to look for his father which in return could lead to the world Chao came from which would in return lead to Chao going to the past to change things.



MSN sale are more than ok, normally an editor wouldn't allow it to end and I don't think that Ken got the special treatment. That's one of the major reason why I think that Ken will be working on a sequel manga after this.
