Mahou Sensei Negima! Chapter 355 Discussion

Well, since it have been great (forget the ending), I will be lenient.

Well after power reading this over a few weeks I have to say I was a tad disappointed like many over the abruptness of the ending but it does seem like an ending that was forced on by people other than the author.



It sort of felt like a fire emblem ending if anything which seemed appropriate considering how many game references they make. If anything it looked like that had enough material to keep it going for another 100 chapters with the search for Nagi but at the same time I suppose it would become stale with most fights simply being Negi powering up and winning.



I do feel pretty annoyed by the lack of whom he ended up with but at least Konoka and Setsuna getting together was a pleasant surprise even if Setsuna's little arc didn't actually go anyway in the last few chapters.

But at least we can look back at the "good moments".



I've spent most of Negima's reading time on school festival arc. I think it is the best part of the story overall. That transition from your typical ecchi harem comedy into magical action was the main thing that kept me seated and always looked into the next chapters. I read that arc over and over again because the other parts were just average or worse imo.

I will only accept this ending if his next work is Mahou Sense Negima Darkness!



I hope you are not talking about borderline hentai like in To LOVE-Ru Darkness

Satisfying ending. Thank you.



Couldn't have said it any better, that's exactly how I felt.

Extremely disappointed, even more disappointed than the mass effect 3 ending.



Completely let down that he hurt Nodoka's love, I felt that was the most developed pairing in the show with Negi.



Props to the implied Konoka/Setsuna marriage, that one was also one of my favorite otps. Nagi showing up out of nowhere after Negi defeated him? So we basically skipped that entire arc, which has been the entire plot of the god damn manga in the first place, to find his dad?



I am glad Kotarou and Natsumi got together, I liked that pairing as well.



All in all my favorite manga, but this did go steadily downhill near the end of the magic world arc. Don't know if Ken just got tired of drawing it, it shouldn't have been sales since I understand MSN was very well selling.

Interesting way to end the series...well it was a great series.






Looking forward to Akamatsu Ken-Sensei Next series.



OMG You read my mine on that XD

Uh ok, not what I expected, though we did see info on everyone in the future, it still seemed unsatisfactory



And I got no idea what Nagi is doing there, or who Negi's love interest was then, unless I missed something...



Sure there's other unanswered questions as well, but I can't think of them at the moment.

I guess I just expected it to be better, still this has been one of my favorite manga so I'm sad to see it go despite this ending lacking a lot of elements.



I'll re-read this chapter, might improve my opinion of it maybe...

First off, the the eff is Anya?! I wanna see her as an 18 year old *-*. And they kinda implied that he married Ayako and...i think Fate married Asuna o_O
