Some of you guys automatically believe that this manga will have a sequel or spin-off....
I guess I'm the ONLY one that doesn't believe that.
Sorry, but I've seen other manga end just like this....(Where nothing is solved and there's just a bunch of questions)...and there is NO sequel or spin-off.
I know Negmia is very popular, but if Ken wanted to do a Sequel, why would he finish this manga???
Why not just continue it until it is properly finished???
Oh well, personally I don't really care if there is a spin-off or sequel, Negima's has been so bad for the past 2 years I can't really expect something good at this point.
1- Negima is a popular work in jump and popular manga in jump aren't allowed to end until they drop a lot in popularity. The very fact that Ken was allowed to end his manga pretty much imply that Ken have something else up his ass be it a sequel/spin off manga or a totally new original manga serie.
2- There's thing you can do in a spin off manga that you can't really do in the manga it's deviated from. The manga is called Mahou sensei negima and the name lost it's purpose ever since the students graduated and Negi stopped being a teacher.
Also a spin off manga allow you to change the way the story is told, the mains characters and give a fresh new feeling to it, it also serve as a good marketing value. On another note a spin-off manga does not have to follow on it's predecessor's storyline. Basically it does not have to fit the hole in the main serie even though it would be pretty much cheap not to.
Ken focusing especially on Yue's life after all these event with a damn follow up chapter as the two final chapter on the manga has a very good chance of opening up a spin off manga. If he planned on ending everything here he would had made better use of these last two chapter.
