Negima, Vol. 2 : Magister Negi Magi

Summary: Quest Into Libary Island!!!!!
Review: Negi is once again put to the test as he must rush the 2A class into studing (normally they wouldnt ever do work!) and if they fail a test to see what grade group is the smartest, that means no job for Negi! Fun and detailed graphic novel! I thought this book was exciting and funny. I liked this novel the best of the first three Negimas so far! Have fun!

Rating:
Summary: Just as good as the last one.
Review: I'm warning you now people, you should not take this series lightly. Even if you have not read Akamatsu's work, like me{other than this one}, you'll still become addicted to this series. Trust me, people, you should read this.
Description-

In the first chapter:
Negi gets a letter saying that if his class doesn't come in last place, then he will be made into an official teacher{that's talking about the test that will determine if you pass onto the next grade or not, and the class has always come in last place}. But unfortunately, lots of other rumors spread around as well ^_^. Then the Baka Rangers, along with Negi, decide to take a trip to Library Island, where a rumored magical book is kept that could help them for the test.

In the second chapter:
The Baka Rangers go through many different levels on Library Island, and just when they think they've practically gotten the book, they have to play a game similar to Twister where you have to answer questions. But unfortunately, they get an answer wrong.

In the third chapter:
The Baka Rangers spend the time on the "paradise of books" on a part of Library Island.

In the fourth chapter:
The Baka Rangers, including Negi, make it out of Library Island {chased by a "rock man", answering questions along the way.}.

You wanna see the results of the test? You'll have to read this!!
Highly Recommended.

Summary: j0
Review: This second volume in Ken Akamatsu's "Magister Negi Magi" finds Negi Springfield and his wacky all-girl students off on a quest to find a magic book in the Mahora school's Library Island, an enormous maze littered with traps, giant metal golems and other very unlibrary-like things. If they can find the magic book, and the girls can manage to not place at the bottom of all the classes, Negi can get granted full-teacher status. It should be no problem, because leading the way are members of the Library Island Explorers club. What could go wrong?

Additional stories in volume 2 feature single adventures with a few students, including Chisame Hasegawa, a girl who can't stand Negi or her classmates, but lives a secret life as an internet pin-up cosplay girl, the cute twins Fuka and Fumika Narutaki, who take Negi on a tour around the vast school grounds, and Class representative Ayaka Yukihiro and the story of her and Asuna'a bitter rivalry.

"Magister Negi Magi" is really starting to pick up with this volume. The characters are getting fleshed out and the girls are starting to get their own personalities and motivations. Of course, Negi is still the star and the book is packed with Akamatsu's trademark humor. A great comic, that I highly recommend!
