AstroNerdBoy Negima! 355 SPOILER Images
魔法先生 ネギま！Chapter 355 (Image)
Here’s what I know many of you have been waiting for — the original-sized, sneak-peek SPOILER images for Mahou Sensei Negima! Chapter 355 as brought to you by anonymous Japanese fans (click pic to make bigger, y’all).
I was hoping against the most obvious choice of Negi saving Yue, but oh well. It works.
Looks like we’ll get to see what everyone in the class ended up being, so there is that for a kind of closure, eh? ^_^;;;
On a more personal note, I’d like to thank everyone who came by for the spoilers. The only reason I started posting them here was because when they’d show up in Japan, they’d disappear so quickly. While some would save them on forums, such as AQS’s, I also know that many folks would prefer not to go to forums, so I provided another means of allowing a central, easy to locate place to have the spoilers.
I’d like to thank the Japanese, French, and any other fans that managed to score Weekly Shounen Magazine well before its publication date in Japan to share some spoilers. ^_^
IF Akamatsu-sensei does some sort of spinoff-sequel to Negima! and keeps it in print publications, assuming people share those spoilers, I’ll share as well. If he goes the J-Comi route, well there’s no spoilers to share. If Akamatsu-sensei does an entirely new manga in print, I’ll consider sharing spoilers.
Update: new spoiler.
Update: More spoilers located here.

Too much, i’m dead…
I got emotional – :'(
I guess with this ending a proper sequel is out of the way. Oh, I’m so sad!
Judging by these spoilers it looks to me like we have a NegixYue ending on our hands so I’ll be the first to say congratulations to all of the NegixYue fans.
If Negi and Yue are together than that means that Yue cut her hair because she wants it short, not because Negi turned her down?
They weren’t together as of last chapter.
i guess we wont find out what happened to Nagi…
Doesn’t look like it.
Continuation is still possible if he manages it with another timeline. he could enter the fight between CE und AA to correct his self-fabricated mess and come back with a super story.
It’s the preview that’s 5 pages right? The actual chapter will be longer?
There will be one extra page in this final chapter.

For the longest time, Chao’s line “Because we can’t have the great ancestor die” made me hope for a harem ending.
Coming from the Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki school of harem series, the harem ending works for me. ^_^
Thank you for always posting these!
I really hope it’s a Yue x Negi ending, though I still prefer Chisame. I love that we’ll find out what happened to everyone… though a (more mature, past high school) spin off would be absolutely amazing~
I am a little confused that the whole story kinda started with Negi wanting to find his father, and we won’t really get closure on that…
If Akamatsu-sensei does a sequel, we could still get closure there.
Ach so…
Wife: Yue.
Mistress: Nodoka.
He could have many more mistresses. ^_~
I think Negi is with Yue and admittedly, they make a good couple. Akamatsu was actually pretty original with that, I’ll give him credit. I didn’t see it coming. lol The resue was really sweet.
And Kotaro and Natsumi getting married, that’s pretty cool. They were one of my top pairings even before their pactio. 😉
Also seeing an older Chao Lingshen! OMG! That’s so amazing! And Nodoka and Yue’s space suit picture is now in full view. Gotta say, I am definatelly enjoying the end. The art is gorgeous and it looks pretty conclusive (excepting the Nagi bit, but he might be in the full chapter). Can’t wait to read the entire chapter.
Thanks for the spoilers ANB and net geeks from other countries. 😀
According to a translation of the Yue/Nodoka image they both lost their first love. So unless I see proof that suggests otherwise, the NegixNodoka (regrettably) and NegixYue ships are officially sunk.
What about Asuna?
Doesn´t she have a partner in the end? After all she´s the heroine…
She has a pactio partnership with Negi.
Is no one not the least bit surprised that this is the first time, ever since chapter 1, that Negima has ever gotten colour pages??
I’m not, but I think I saw someone state that they thought this would be the case. Since it was only rumor, I didn’t say anything about it at the time.
CanonRAP on TVTropes Forum has said that the romantic ending is ambiguous but to what degree I don’t know so please disregard my post.
Well, that would be in lines with my theory, which is that Akamatsu-sensei wouldn’t state a preference for Negi. For Kotaro, it was an easy thing since fans loved the Kotaro-X-Natsumi pairing from the start. As Kotaro didn’t have a harem to contend with, there was no one to become enraged about their girl not being the chosen one.
It looks like an epilogue. Seriously, each student has something that Ken had to say, despite the lack of pages, it appears that the 3A Class has a nice ending… albeit the story was warped so badly (even if it was not his fault).
Actually, Kotarou had potential for a harem with Mei, Madoka and Chizuru.
I don ‘t like this ending… I have a lot of questions and few answers… And I don’t like a Yue ending… If Negi must be with one girl, I preffer Nodoka or Chisame… I pray for a Negima! sequel where find the answer for the mystery of the Thousand Master T-T…
If all of the questions remaining for Negima remain unanswered forever… I will be so disgusted. It was a beautiful manga, and to end it like this would be a waste. All for a bunch of question-answering mini-series say I.
CanonRAP on TVTropes Forum has confirmed that who Negi chooses is unknown. The translation of the spoiler image of grown up Yue and Nodoka confirms that they both lost their first love but since no one was chosen I think IMO it’s safe to say that all Negix ships have been well and truly sunk.

Three possible responses to this:
*Ah, another FateXNegi supporter I see.
or
*Damn right, SetsunaXKonoka for evar!
or
*Well, they are having a rather jolly time from the look of it.
pick one.
hey astro, sill akamatsu-sensei making a sequel to negima or is it just a possibility?
Akamatsu-sensei’s tweet said a sequel was possible. However, he didn’t specify WHICH series a sequel was possible for. ^_~
The phrase “I am sad” cannot even describe what i’m feeling right now……..
Astro, thanks for providing us with spoilers for all of this time.
I hope we get some form of continuation, as I’ve been rather disappointed with this.
Hehe I’m so glad that Kotaro and Natsumi got married. They are my favourite pairing in the series.
I was at least hoping that he would stay as our adorable little protagonist
somebody wana cry with me? (TToTT)
(TT0TT)
Nodoka- “ISSDA Technological Development Department Services. Borrowed by old companions for exploring ruins on days off, caught up in her best friend’s side job after hours, she leads a busy life. Low gravity is rapidly causing her breas*omitted* She often bumps into Negi in the passageways.”
Yue- “Finds work in the offices inside the ISSDA’s lower orbital ring, sharing her post with Miyazaki Nodoka. Both having lost at their first love, the two get along distractingly well. For whatever reason she continues her detective career in orbit, making her some sort of magical space detective. Despite the low gravity, her brea*omitted*”
It’s a Nodoka x Yue ending. Everybody wins.
Do not weep, my friends. For your feelings will reach to Akamatsu-sensei. I,too, understand what your feelings right now. Let’s not give up hope for NEGIMA!. It’s still has a powerful potential as a manga. If Akamatsu-sensei does create a sequel to it, he already has a powerful material from NEGIMA! I also want to see some scenes as well.
Like:
=Ku Fei’s Family, Kaede’s Family, Mana’s job, Ako’s scar,Chisame’s real feelings,Chachamaru’s development in her emotions, How Eva’s curse being lifted, Setsuna’s origin, Ayaka’s family, Fate’s subordinates like Shiori, and many more.
I really do pray that there will be a sequel to finish what the manga has started. To cover all of his students’ backgrounds and other important parts, as well. So, let’s not give up for it. For my friends ” Time will heal your wounds”.
One more spoiler page at AQS…
Nodoka and Setsune marry at 2017…
I hated this ending …
I did not expect the author in a few caps would save the work but it was worse than I thought.
He must have had his reasons but as a reader and a fan was a slap in the face. Nothing Nagi, Setsuna and Konoka, Arika, Chachamaru, Chisame.
I do not know if it’s a final Negi and Yue or Harem.
Do not know if I follow the work of Akamatsu next after that.
The only positive thing was Natsumi and Kotaro beautiful couple.
More spoilers are showing up, Check AQS.
I think what CannonRAP meant in that post was that the entire chapter isn’t out yet and hasn’t been seen, in full, by anyone. So, we don’t know “who” Negi winds up with, if anyone. I’m still holding out hope that we do get a cannon couple involving Negi at the end. I’d rather it be someone I don’t ship with him than no one at all/a vague ending.
CannonRAP post was:
“Seeing some weird (fake) rumours and spoilers going around.
* Who Negi ends up with is NOT known.
* The “Where Are They Now” sequence is all real.”
Well then, I had read the chapter already, but I’d like to leave a comment thanking you for all these years you had provided these Negima spoilers for us all, even those who already go to forums in the first place ^_^ You might not believe me, but I also came to this blog for different reasons, even to read what you had to comment on each chapter and new volume release. So you know, I’ll still be around lurking …
In case, much thanks!
Make a college version!
Please akamatsu make an negi x asuna ending
They are ment to be together!
[…] The first set of SPOILER images can be found HERE! […]
At the very end of Volume 36 there appears the definitive line drawing of Negi x Asuna, in which Asuna “rides” Negi’s right thigh with her crotch and reaches over his shoulder to clasp the sword with him. It’s actually the pencil predecessor of the cover of Vol. 36, and it’s my second favorite. My first? Pages 9 & 10 of Period 334, in which Negi and Asuna swing that Ensis Exorcisans (the White Wing Sword) together, slicing and dicing The Life Maker. Akamatsu-sensei did finally explicitly illustrate Asuna and Negi in that destined, very intimate partnership promised so often, appropriately, satisfyingly, violently exorcising the curse of his father. It’s gotta be one of the best couplings ever.
I still maintain that Asuna loves the ten-year-old Negi. Her intimate assist from behind when they hold and then swing the sword together can not be construed as sisterish, and I think that was Akamatsu’s intention.
For this reader, all the rest, all of Vols. 37 & 38 of “Negima!” are grossly irrelvant. After two years I’ve deliberately forgotten these travesties. They’ve been banished to the rear, hidden part of my bookshelves, never to be looked at again.
There are things I like about the last volumes, but that’s just me.
footnote to my Nov. 3rd immediately above: I forgot to mention that the Ensis Exorcisans is Asuna’s conjured weapon that started out as just a paper fan on page 21 of the 31st period, in which Asuna, Negi and Setsuna rescue Kanoka from the evil clutches of that nasty woman op hired by the Kansai magic association during the kids’ trip to Kyoto — one of my favorite sequences. As Asuna grows in power and her awareness of it so does her Ensis Exorcisans until at the end of Vol. 36 it has evolved into that enormously powerful white wing sword. At first, in period 31, it requires Negi’s incantation to materialize, then Asuna gradually becomes able to evoke it on her own. At the end she uses it to terminate the Life Maker with Negi and subsequently to resurrect Mundus Magicus by herself. A divine sword, capable of instantly creating life or death. Pretty neat.
Or the Lifemaker’s illusion. 😉
I prefer not to enter that wilderness of mirrors. Story’s over. Especially since Asuna now has ultimate power.
Thanks for your “Click to edit.”
No problem. I’m glad it has worked.
