Summary: Ken Akamatsu - Japanese Manga Genius
Review: Although his works are all similar, you have to admit he is a genius with these manga. I am proudly japanese and have read read many of Ken Akamatsu's previous works. Love Hina is the greatest manga accomplishment in the genres of comedy there ever was and WILL BE. Ken Akamatsu is an unsurpassable comdey manga artist.
P.S. im gonna kick that idiot R.Garcia's manga hatin ass

Summary: Magic and hijinks from the creator of "Love Hina"
Review: From Ken Akamatsu, writer/artist of the popular "Love Hina," comes "Negima!: Magister Negi Magi." This comic follows the adventures of Negi Springfield, a young 10-year old magician from Wales who has been assigned to an all-girls school in Japan as an English teacher for his post-graduation assignment. The scenario of one guy surrounded by many girls sounds familiar to readers of Japanese comics, but this is quite different from your standard "harem" story.Negi is an entirely likeable character, charming and in over his head, yet determined to do his best in an overwhelming situation. His dream is to become the Magister, a sort of wandering Master Magician who helps those in trouble. This being an Akamatsu comic, Negi has the habit of a powerful sneeze which blows girls skirts up, or blasts their clothes off entirely. His naivety presents this habit from being too silly, and he is always quite shy and embarrassed afterward. He is joined in the regular cast by Asuna Kagurazaka, a 14 year old jr. high school student in Negi's class. She is a bit of a tom boy, with a powerful kick that can send Negi flying. Not so much a romantic interest, but a friendly foil for Negi. Asuna is the only one who knows that Negi is a magician, a fact which must be kept secret. Of course, the Mahora school is no ordinary school, and is filled with all sorts of oddities such as a legendary bath that holds 100 people. Akamatsu also seems to have a thing for the baths in his comics! The large cast of characters sets the stage for a variety of adventures, although do to the young age of the characters these adventures are much less romance-orientated than "Love Hina." This is my favorite Japanese comic being produced right now, and it is nice to see it getting an English release. Fans of "Love Hina" will find the same kind of humor, with a bit of a Harry Potter sling to it.

Summary: Yep, it's Akamatsu...
Review: Hmmm...panty shots, clothes blown away, ecchi material...it's obvious it's an Akamatsu novel. But along with that comes superb artwork, a fantasic storyline, and novel characters. If you're a Love Hina fan like me (and most everyone that is reviewing this first volume), you already know how talented and brilliant Akamatsu is in his works. He has simply redone was he is best at...
NOTE: This manga IS rather explicit, it is rated "older teen" (ages 16+). If you don;t like reading material like this, this is not the manga for you.

Summary: Harry Potter? NOWAY!
Review: I have read Love Hina and A.I. Love you, included the Isattude No Santa which is a special of the same Ken Akamatsu, I started downloading this manga from the web, but finally as I made with Love Hina I decided to start buying the paper... The first sensation I got after a second rereading was that I got into Hogwarts... Harry Potter, but nep! They kinda make the same joke I did... with Quidditch... wow!
The story is fun, just like the Love Hina series, you will find the similarities on the characters, been Negi = Keitaro, Seta-san = Takahata-sensei, Naru = Asuna, and keep on going.
The story is different, the main character is a little brainy so dont worry about doing dummy stuff, eventhough he does... duh!
This is a very funny and hilarious series, I am sure we all will spend a lot of time laughing at this... I wanna see the end of it... wanna know what will happen if we go with the same kinda story of Love Hina... anyways, its one of the bests!

Summary: Amazing translation work!
Review: I'm sure there will be hundreds of good reviews about the comic itself, so I just wanted to mention how beyond the call of duty Del Rey has gone. Every sound effect is translated, the honorifics are kept and their nuances are carefully explained in the translator's notes. Tokyopop may have pioneered doing licensed manga "right," but Del Rey has perfected it! It doesn't get much better than this, folks.

Summary: Akamatsu fans rejoice!
Review: It isn't often that I'll purchase a graphic novel without knowing anything about it. But perusing the shelves I happened upon one called "Negima!". I instantly recognized Ken Akamatsu's style on the cover and being a huge fan of Love Hina, purchased it without another thought. The concept behind Negima is very clever. A young Welsh boy, training to be a great magician, gets shipped off to Japan to teach English at an all-girls junior high school. It could be said that it's Love Hina mixed with Harry Potter, but that would be doing it a disservice in describing the story. There are a lot of strengths already shown right off the bat. Negima doesn't waste time and dives right into the story which clips along at a good pace without dragging out plot points. The artwork is beautiful, you can sense Akamatsu getting better with each pencil mark. Even introducing a whopping 31 girls into the mix, we still get a sense that we'll see enough of each one. Asuna makes a great foil to Negi. And of course, it's extremely funny. A few things did bug me about Negima though. The fanservice was evenly spread through Love Hina, though here we get quite a few instances where clothes are blown off (by Negi's sneezes, of course) and with the characters being in junior high, comes off a little creepier. Plus, there's already a sense of some characters and events that fall into romantic-manga cliche such as Asuna's adoration of Takahata-sensei and the evil upper-classmen. But then again, I wasn't crazy about Love Hina until a few volumes in. Small complaints aside, Negima volume 1 is a great start to a promising and fun-filled series. If only we didn't have to wait until August to get volume 2.

Summary: Very funny but very politically incorrect.
Review: Japan tends to create manga that would make most parents gasp in horror at the content. This is one of them, and it pushes the very limits of decency, but since Ken Akamatsu manages to give it heart and soul, it succeeds on almost every level. It's "Harry Potter" for a mature crowd, but manages to be on it's own level; something many manga aspire to do. You won't even mind the fanservice by the end of the first volume!
