Great Christmas present! Thanks as always for providing the spoilers and Merry Christmas to you.
If this are the spoilers for chapter 313, than what about chapter 312, I have not found it anywhere, dose someone knows where it can be found
@Anon — Thanks!
@DPCE-DM — No scanlations for 312 are out but CanonRap did just release a translation.
I wonder if that will be the real Nagi somehow speaking to Negi.
thanks ANB great to see this cant wait for the full chapter,
also theres no scanlation for 312 but the raw is out just a matter of time =p
Merry Xmas to all you
shouldnt mana and setsuna arrived??? oh man i wan to see their fight T.T
so the next fighter to go down is kufei =.=”
how much worse is the situation going to get??
What was the point of reviving Dunamis. I hope it wasn’t just so that he could be defeated once again by Negi. If it was it would be really lame.
Just wanted to say that the page order of the first 2 spoiler pics are wrong (the 2nd should be the 1st & the 1st should be the 2nd).
@SL — I’ll fix now. I didn’t have time to pay attention to order much when I uploaded these since I was already hour late.
@Anon — It is likely too much for me to hope for that this is anything more than a projection in Negi’s mind. Of course, if my theory holds up, that would be the real Nagi talking to Negi much as the real Asuna had some words with the new Asuna personality. ^_~
@Nick — you’re welcome. ^_^
@Anon — Akamatsu-sensei is removing characters to a more manageable size. So I wouldn’t expect to see Setsuna nor Mana for some time other than as a reminder.
@Philip — much, much worse. ^_^;;;
@Leslie — So he can witness the triumph of CE over Ala Alba. ^_~ I don’t think he’ll be fighting again.
Merry Christmas!
Well, it just keeps getting worse for Ala Alba & Co., doesn’t it? Kaede is KOed without even leaving a scratch on Quintum. Now Dynamis has been regenerated, and he, Sextum, and Fate’s girls have the still-unconscious Negi and those with him surrounded. Negi better snap out of it soon, because they’re not going to get out this without him pulling a Big Damn Heroes.
Oh, and my anime & manga collection go shown on this week’s Shelf Life segement at ANN! Check it out and let me know what you guys think.
Okay, now this has gone really ridiculous. Akamatsu is trying my patience with all this pointless stomping on the hero side.
I mean, wow, what a way to make all of the girls’ efforts to look useless. It’s like a slap on the face.
And the arc still NEVER ENDS.
Was the last pic also the last of the chapter, or was there still other scenes/pages?
Pretty much what OverMaster said, though I wouldn’t call it patience-trying. Just irritating.
I know that anime in general overdoes the whole “let’s work together” dynamic, but this really is just a slap in the face. It’s not necessary to make the girls and Kotaro look like useless baggage just to give Negi his BDH moment.
At this rate, they’re going to be honorary Klingons in no time.
@ Tiresias: The spoiler pics are the first 5 pages of this chapter which means there are more 13 (if it is an 18 page chapter) or 10 (if it is an 15 page chapter) pages left in that chapter.
I guess none of you like a good story…I don’t find it frustrating one bit. I mean…the girls do have the ‘Key’. It is obviously a very powerful trump card. We also have other fights in play…the question is…do you want it to end quickly, just because you want the girls to shine? Or do you want a decent/good plausible battle (even though it is manga). I don’t mind waiting each week for this story to unfold, because I don’t want the story to end…but of course, I’m not writing it. Have patience fellow readers!
Astro, keep up the great work, love your blog dude!
No, I like a good story, and we aren’t getting it here lately. What we have are Diabolus Ex Machina, long time characters being gratuitously stomped so cheap copies of a character we already had and who were just introduced can look good and The Hero can save the day by himself (because really, at this point, who else is left…) denying the point of having a fighting team in the first place, and a vulgar regurgitation of the worst Shonen cliches Akamatsu had avoided so far.
And decent/good plausible battles? Please! Every fight we have had since this assault started has been a stomp in one direction or another.
As for patience, I have had enough of it for more than 100 chapters and three real world years of this arc. No longer. I just want for this Mundus Magicus drag to end already. Not for more enemies to keep coming out the walls.
Well as far as I’m concerned the Magic World arc has been awesome all the way through and is currently only getting more so, so I’m in no hurry for things to end. ^_^
Good for you.
I guess it’s okay if you like the most basic, most primal shounen fare, where the plot takes a nosedive in favor of huge badly planned but showy and flashy fight scenes that last and last and last with no end in sight until the next fight’s time comes. And the cast is divided into ‘punching bags put there so the bad guys can artificially show how bad they are’ and ‘the protagonist’. I mean, Bleach still sells well, so no wonder such baseline pandering to the young audience’s lowest common denominator still expands itself so much.
But it’s a pain to see an once great manga like Negima now reduced to this.
Negis going to obviously revive in this chapter, near the end. I would also assume he will get a huge power boost.
I think it will take another two or three chapters to revive Negi. At first, if I know Akamatsu-Sensei right, he will have a little talk with Nagi and remember al things so far and get new fighting spirit. Maybe Nagi and Negi will have a little fight to revive Negi or to unleash his true potential. ME is made by Eva but was developed further by Negi. (Even if it kills him slowly now.) So I think Negi will clear the final stage to be a “higher beeing” or so. After all this is something he doesnt have masterd but was long expected.
Then he will go berserk (in a positive way) and kicks the temorary Fates and all the others upcoming Fates in Future till the end of time =)
I can see Chisame getting pissed and go ape on girl fate.
Chisame saves the day lol
@OverMaster
Sheesh, tone down the pessimism, will you?
Negima is a shounen manga about a prepubescent teacher/secret mage and a class full the likes of an ancient vampire, a Martian time-traveller and a gun-toting, half-demon shrine maiden. Hardly the formula for bona fide writing, but Akamatsu is so good at what he does that it has been working pretty well so far. I like the fact that he doesn’t take himself too seriously all the time and I have faith in him when it comes to this story. Your argument is fair, but the moment you started comparing Negima to the mindless, overhyped drivel that is Bleach, I felt that it came across incredibly vitriolic.
Point being,
Negima > Bleach.
But I see why are you feeling frustrated. Recent development have been like one gonad-crushing kick in the testicles after the other. That Akamatsu has been developing quite the sadistic streak. Still, this was never meant to be a walk in a park. I mean, Ala Alba are trying to save the magic world after all, and everything that has been happening just emphasises the grandiosity of this task. Here’s to hoping Akamatsu has got something awesome up his sleeve, for as it stands, I am running out nails to chew on.
@OverMaster
You really call there being more Fates deus ex machina when we knew that there have been more before him? There’s even been fairly blatant hints that there would be more copies for Ala Alba to fight. Calling it Deus Ex Machina is just silly.
If I may step into the breach now that I have a few moments. (Please, no one from India call me!)
For a shounen manga, I have to say that Negima! is rather well written. When I go back and reread the volumes, I’m amazed at how Akamatsu-sensei will often set the table for future events even if he doesn’t get to them for weeks or months even. Though the early Del Rey volumes cloud this (and hopefully Kodansha’s re-release fixes this), Asuna was foreshadowed to be something different and that she had a negative effect on magic.
My point is that Akamatsu-sensei plans out his stories quite well.
Now, as to the frustration about the MW arc, I can certainly understand that. In my recent review for volume 28, I remarked on how frustrating it was that Asuna had been held captive for so long and no one knew. In terms of story, it hasn’t been that long but in our time, she was captive for nearly two years? It seems frustratingly slow.
However, I remind myself of the Mahora Festival arc. Back then, there were many, including myself, who were frustrated at how things seemed to keep dragging on without end. Today, if I read the arc straight through, it doesn’t seem slow at all. Indeed, it flows pretty well with the various sub-arcs when Negi jumps back.
So, while I understand the “get it on” feeling with the current story, I remember that when read in its entirety, the story will be quite good without the frustration of the week-to-week waits we experience. ^_^

Technically, the creation of the extra Fates wouldn’t be deus (god) ex machina. It would be diabolus (devil) ex machina. That is, assuming that you believe it was inconsistent with the previous story.
