In the first chapter, Negima told Asuna "Your love will be unrequitted" (in other words, unfulfilled or un-returned).



Asuna's love is indeed unrequitted when she returns in 2135 to find Negima dead. Until Chao (in her long-long awaited return) rewrites history to 'a blank page' using her awesome hacking stopwatches of hacks.



^ THAT was a good ending. But the last chapter (and 354) were complete trite (the 2nd time skip was uneccessary because the future details of all the characters could have easily been shown after chapter 353, Yue being assaulted should be left to the doujins, too vague about the true route and Nagi has no right to show up so casually after such a long journey).



I'd still give it 9/10. It was an amazing manga for it's 9 years, but the last 2 chapters need to be ignored. I would suggest that Ken planned to finish Negima at the events of 353, but his plotline ended too quickly and he had to write 2 more chapters from nothing.

Even the ending for the Negima Final anime was far better than this mess.

I have been reading this since it first came out 9 years ago since it was by Ken Akamatsu.  I had read all of his previous works and jumped on this one while still in school.  To me the story quality kept rising more and more, and I would always recommend it to friends.  Now that I have reached the end I feel like the story was going full speed, the suddenly I smack into a brick wall with no seat belt on.  I really hope for a sequel that tells the missing information, but I can't help but wonder why Ken would have spent so much time and effort and then suddenly drop the story like that.  The ending was way too rushed, even for a troll.

I wanted more Asuna time. Negima final chapter needed to be wayyyy longer. I wouldn't have minded waiting a month for a good, well made final chapter. Sadly the pulishers gave Kimi no Iru Machi more pages (I think).



Akamatsu should have at least ended the series with one girl with negi. Fans just need clarification to who a character ends up with.

Its OVEEEEEEEERRRR!!!

Thank you Ken Akamatsu for the great 9 years of Negima.

Looking forward to your future works.

I still feel that Makie is the one who ended up with Negi specifically for the reason she calls him father. Everyone else casually refers to him as "Nagi-san", but Makie is quite nervous in meeting Negi's father, hence why she calls him "otou-san".



On another note, I enjoyed Negima's ending specifically because it's a troll ending. It'll be great getting some of my other friends to read all 38 volumes only to have them flip the table on the last few chapters, bwahahaha!
