Akamatsuverse A Negima Reread
- Thread starter Ashaman
- Start date
Asuna dreams of 15 year old Negi. But, IIRC, Nagi was about the same age as that during his time with Asuna. Maybe a little older but not much.
Asuna skips the art club fairly often.
The Age changing pills have limits. It can get 9 year old Negi to age 15, but not 30, and 14 year old Konoka to 21 and 7.
Gotta laugh at all those girls in the background blatently checking Negi out - to the point of turning around to watch him walk away.
Negi's good at shooting. Marksmanship Class is apparently a thing at Magic School.
We find out a little more about Asuna's past. Suspcious sorts will find it curious that the closest thing Asuna had to a guardian was Takamichi, the man in on the whole Mage thing.
Courage = magic makes its return.
Knowing what I know now, Yue's lingering stare when Negi acepted Nodoka's date invitation takes on a whole different conotation.
Its times like Aged!Kotaro meeting Kugimiya for the first time and her thinking to herself that he's her type that make me realize that Kotaro is almost as Harem-y as Negi sometimes. There are at least 6 girls Kotaro is teased with to some degree or another. But Negi eclipses him on that front so badly you don't even really notice.
Also, either he can't see ghosts or he's completely nonpulsed by them.
Negi's Festival Schedule - impossible without Time Travel.
During Negi's meeting with the head master, observant readers will note the young nun trying to make herself scarce.
And the girl with pigtails - I don't remember her. Have ta keep an eye out.
The offical Trans implies that the Magic Teachers actually teach magic at Mahora. Considering this is Mahora, its more likely than you'd first think. It also states that this is not all of the magically aware students either.
Mana's absence is notable too.
Hakase and Chao have (Tech) invisibility cloaks. Magic > Tech in this case.
The students of 3-A pull two (maybe 3) all nighters before the day of the Fest. No wonder Negi fell asleep. Or possibly that was the roofie CVhao slipped Setsuna and him(?)
Kotaro - still nerfed.
Machine Support - a thing common place in future fights. (Magic Apps?)
Chamo - surprisingly useful. I kind of remembered him as this useless perv, but between Telepathy Jamming, Age changig sweets and general brain power, he's actually pulling his weight.
Even before the Fest Chao has been a persistant problem when it comes to magic, and is on her thrid warning when she spys on the World Tree meeting. But she's also been useful to the staff.
Acording to the notes at the back of Vol 9, Mage's often display a form of low level ESP, allowing them to read minds, predict the future, see through illusions, sense magic, sense the supernatural etc etc.
Also, Sayo was involved in a series of murders ans its Kazumi's Journalism finding the truth of that mystery that frees Sayo from the classroom; She was apparently confined to 500 metres from the classroom.
But this was probably dropped from canon.

With the beginning of the Fest and the breif detail Yue provides - Mahora is FUCKING CRAZY! None of these people should be older than 21 - how do they do it?!
Then again, a sprinkle of Magic and a combined student body of approximately 20,000 pupils (and that's the low ball figure btw) means anything can happen.
3-A, how horny are you? They turn a haunted house into a mini-escort service and molest Negi when he goes through it. Seriously, these lot despritely need boyfriends that aren't prepubescent.
They provide a damn good act though.
Negi has a pony-tail. Shockingly, removing the ponytail makes his hair look even girlier. How does that even work?
I'm surprised hints of time shenanigans didn't make itself known in the background before the first trip back in time.
It's refreshing to see Negi acting childish.
Chao - honesty all over the place. Too bad it'll take another 200 chapters for them to realize it.
And Chao says she's only used the time machine once, 2 1/2 years ago. In hindsight, that would be her travel from the future.
Nodoka - please stop having erotic fantasies starring a 9 year old boy - its a crime you god damn shotacon.

Maybe not. For some reason (and I can't remember exactly why either), I earlier inferred that Negi's birhday was in January, where he turned 9 before the series started.
Nodoka's birthday is in May, so she's 15 at the moment. Even if Negi has had an extra day of training for every day of teaching, that still only puts him an extra 2 months ahead.
I might be wrong about when his birthday is and he could be 10 - but it still means a 15 year old girl is picturing herself french kissing a 10 year old boy.

Remember this is a universe where a 14 year old can look anywhere between 9 and 21. I'm thinking that gives a small bit of leeway since Negi seems to actually be more mature than most of his students. Also Nodoka is a closet perv, even I am hesitant to think what might be lurking inside the darker corners of her libido.
You can find the same thing in reality - its just the outliers are alot rarer.
But that doesn't matter because Shotacons are fine too.
End of series Negi is more mature than his students. Negi circa Mahora Fest really, really isn't. As big a deal as the girls make of his drive and goals, Negi is still just a kid with the occasional mature showing. The majority of 3-A is more mature than him in various ways. Its only the goal thing that Negi out matures his students on.

It occurs to me that the whole Kissing Negi thing would have resolved itself without outside interference. Nodoka would have enjoyed it, frankly.
The World Tree only activated so early/strongly because Negi had buffed himself withmagic. Either that or dear old dad was trolling.
Asuna can invoke the contract to power up by herself without Negi's consent.
You can pin-point the exact moment he slips his tongue in.
Mana's bday is 17 Nov
Her actual age is called into question, but I think she was just a child soldier partnered with a Mage.
Its hard to get a read on Mana. She bounces from hardcore to sweet and then back to genocidal. (Of lovers) All I can say is shes a nice girl who can put a mean game face on.
The argument between Kotaro and Yue is interesting, but I can't help but feel they are having two separate conversations. Neither truly addresses the other's point, merely makes a counter point. Even Yue feels guilty for having a go at a 'kid' like that.
Also, Kotaro's "What is love? Can you eat it?" becomes a lot less funny when viewed with the knowledge that Kotaro was an abandoned kid who had to fight to for every meal.
I feel bad for Yue, but she really did give good advice to Negi about waiting. He's got too much on his plate right now for a relationship he's too young for anyway.
Are Fuuka and Fuumika clued up on magic? I know they have the ninja thing going on, but they immediately go to Kotaro and start playing with his ears because Keade had told them about him. But they weren't sure if the ears are real or not.
Of the 8 prelims, you see 5.
A -
B - Negi and Ku:Nel
C - Setsuna and Asuna
D - Kuu and Mana
E - Keade and Kotaro
F - Takamichi and Eva
G -
H -
Meaning 3 groups you don't see any of.
The tournament was decided in RL by dice throw. Meaning none of the matches were planned out beforehand (except maybe the Negi vs Ku:Nel one) He just got the results and went with them.

Sorry, expanding on the above.
Negi spends the night before the festival begins at the pre-start gala, which seems to be an all night affair.
By 11(ish) Negi is too tired and falls asleep, only to wake up at 8pm.
From 8, Negi goes back in time to 10am. I can only guess that, after drugging them both, Chao set the Cassiopeia to do this.
The entire second day is spent either searching for Chao/getting ready for his date/ on his date with Nodoka.
He finishes his second day at about the same time. (No time is given, so this is a guestimate)
That's 10 hours Negi spends awake.
Negi then goes back again, this time with Setsuna, Konoka and Asuna. He goes to 1:30pm. He patrols with Mana and eventually Kotaro for 2 and a half hours until he meets with Yue. He then spends the next 2 hours with her until the tournament prelims.
He attends the beginning of the after party (probably about 9-10 ish) before beginning his 4th trip back, this time accompanied by Kotaro.
At this point Negi has been awake 18 hours (more or less)
He arrives at 11:30am and does teacher stuff for the rest of the day until the after party begins again. At some point during the day he takes a nap for a short period of time. We know he was awake again by 5pm, seeing as that was when Chisame's cosplay exhibition was on.
After he'd done his teaching duties, he returned to the after party after his past self had left.
3-A (and presumably Negi) party until 4am, whereupon Asuna, Setsuna, Konoka, Kotaro and Negi stumble to Eva's resort.
Every one else is easier to track.
Setuna had 3 repeats. The first when she sleeps through the Fest with Negi, the second when she helps search for Chao, help Negi get ready and then watches his date with Nodoka.
Asuna and Konoka had 2 repeats. Their original day where they did club activities and spied on the Negi/Nodoka date.
Their second and Setsuna's third is when all three go on patrol and then enter the tourny.
Kotaro had 2 repeats. His original day spent patrolling then the tournament and his second he spent going around with Negi, who is on his 4th by this point.

We finally get an explnation on what Chi and Magic are and the difference between them.
Though it leaves me wondering what Magical Capacity is in this context.
There are 3 or 4 types of Instant Movement introduced, but its all pretty much the same using different powers/techs so its really not important.
We learn about the relative power of magic arrows, which is used as a force multiplier later on.
There is a lot of waffle on how serious Mana and Takamichi were. Mana claims she didn't throw the match, but she obviously didn't use her demon mode and didn't have her guns, giving Kuu the advantage.
Takamichi went full Power Mode, but left plenty of openings. It was also fairly obvious he could have gotten up at the end if he really wanted to.
So Offensively, that was Takamichi. Endurance wise? Nope. Tactically? Double nope.

Chapter 92 for magic and chi.
They mention that the only reason the World Tree reacted so strongly against Negi is because he'd filled himself with Magic in order to get away from Mei and Takane D Goodman.
I was only joking about Nagi, who, if memory serves, is currently sealed inside or under the World Tree and may or may not be able to observe Mahora.

Early on we're told that Setsuna is part of the Shinmei school of kenjutsu. Given that this is an Akamatsu manga, it's implied that this takes place in the same universe as Love Hina.
Later we're explicitly told that the higher-level demon-slaying techniques are "reserved to the head family, the Aoyamas". So yes, same universe.
And we're even shown the Hina blade.
Here's my question: is that supposed to be Tsuruko holding the Hina blade in that scene?
