AstroNerdBoy Complete Negima! 240 SPOILER Images
魔法先生 ネギま！Chapter 240 (Images)
Here’s the final round of spoiler images from Japan, y’all (click pic to make bigger, y’all).
Going to have to wait 2-weeks for that pactio artifact. ^_~
Update: Seeing the raw, looks like there won’t be a break next week. There may be an extra chapter in volume 26 because by my count, 240 should be the last chapter. Then again, Akamatsu-sensei may just be skipping his normal volume-ending chapter break. I don’t know for sure but regardless, good news!

No Negima until Feb 18th???
Damn you Akamats Sensei! XDD
Well that was a rather cruel cliffhanger. I’m like “OHGODOHGOD WHAZZITGONNABE?!?!” and then we’ll just wait for next chapter. By the way, why will we wait 2 weeks? some holiday in Japan?
Akamatsu, you magnificent bastard! You tease us with the pactio! Time to gird the loins and wait.
two weeks? … wasn’t it just last week that there were a break?
Akamatsu-sensei takes two regular “breaks” (which aren’t vacations, but rather time for he and his staff to get ahead in produced pages for publication). He has the “4+1” break, wherein four chapters of Negima! are published and the fifth week no chapter is published (the break). The second break happens at the end of each volume. Chapter 240 is the end of volume 26 by my count.
HAHAHA! So the fight begins right on the last page…I will kick Ken’s ass if I see him but i love him too much.
Just because I love AstroNerdBoy:

Well, we’ll see if that happens. Providing the anime follows the manga, I’ll be happy. ^_^ Thanks for the info.
This time I’m glad you’re wrong, for the raw says “continued next issue” 😛
WOW!!! Now Negi’s the one with the pactio!!! AWESOME!!!!
I just don’t think i can wait till the chapter comes out… AHH THE SUSPENSE!!!
Hmm….. If the guards are above the fight arena, is there a chance Yue is there? Sheesh i sure hope she gets her memories back..
What an AWESOME looking chapter!
English Translations are out. YES! Negi ARTIFACT! And the card design is SO EFFIN OWNAGE! XD Now the real question is what is the artifact? I’ve looked at the card and I can’t seem to pick up anything that might be an artifact, except maybe that glowing card he’s holding, but I assumed at first it was to represent his pactio’s with everyone, then again it can’t be the staff, so I’m betting its a glowing card, or a set of cards. Akamatsu, bloody genius :]
Let me post a quick update. I misunderstood Akamatsu-sensei’s break schedule. It is true that he does the 4+1 schedule (four weeks Negima! is published, one week it is off), but he does not do a break after every volume end. It just so happens that some of his breaks have coincided with the volume end. He will take other breaks when he’s behind or has color art to do for the magazine. Thanks to Hata for the information!
