Sadly, it is looking like another “no spoiler” week for Negima! as there’s been no sign of any spoiler images being posted from chapter 302. There’s chatter, of course, but that doesn’t mean anything. Often, folks on 2CH just make stuff up but sometimes, someone will speak truthfully about something that is going to happen in the chapter. However, since it is impossible to tell the truth from the lies, there’s no point in posting any of that.
Regardless, I’m calling it a day as it is now after midnight in Japan. Time for those of us on a Japanese schedule to get some sleep. ^_^
That said, should anything be posted, you know I’ll have them up as soon as I’m aware of them. ^_^
I’ll have a review of chapter 301 up a little later today so it won’t be a Negi-free day on the blog. ^_^

hey, how early before the release date do spoilers turn up? I thought people scanned the magazines when they came out on Wednesdays.
Also thanks for posting spoilers (I should probably say that more often
Scans are done that way. However, the magazine is printed several days prior to Wednesday and distributed ahead of time to stores with an embargo to prevent the magazines from being put on the rack until Wednesday.
So, how spoilers come out is that someone with early access to the manga takes the pictures and posts them. On a normal week, that happens as early as Thursday night in the U.S. (Friday in Japan). On double-issue weeks (where the magazine isn’t published one week, which I believe happens twice a year), the spoilers can be out even earlier.

Those aren’t spoilers but the actual RAW that someone scanned a week early. Its likely those French guys who used to run the now defunct Raw Paradise.
