Whilst not the worst rushed ending I've read, this certainly isn't good. At least the Fate conflict came to an end before the manga finished, at least there was resolution on that front. In terms of Nagi being the mage of beginnings and who Negi ends up with, guess I'll have to read UQ Holder for that (or browse the wiki). All in all, Negima was far better than I expected it to be. Written with a sense of passion and competence, it's clear that Akamatsu had a fairly decent idea of where he was taking his story (least till this bullshit). All in all, I'd say Negima was a good read, with decent characters, nice enough art, some decent jokes, far to much Ecchi, and a legitimately good fight every now and then.
