Negima! Magister Negi Magi Volume 14


VOL. 14
120 – Negi-kun Fan Club

It was okay, with Negi reflecting on the battle against his father.  Surprisingly, it wasn't that boring, and even the part where the class members go all woozy over him wasn't bad.  There were some humorous bits, and at least we get to see something different now.

121 – Negi Majorly Busted Magister Magi

This was another nice relaxed chapter, and Chisami confirms the truth of the magic business.  It was also good to find out the solid number of people that knows Negi is a mage, 17 students in his class… that’s more than half.  Pretty funny actually, and I liked how it starred Chachamaru in this chapter as well.


122 – Ordinary Yet Dreamy Love Story

I liked this chapter for some reason, it was really funny, and I liked what was happening.  Focusing on another classmate, it was pretty good, and of course, there’s something different about her, that we’ll probably find out the reason why later, so, a good chapter.

123 – Pre-Performance Madness!!

I liked the ending on this one, Negi’s action was charming (I guess that’s the word), and feels like the right one.  Couldn't glean that much from the rest of the chapter though, but it was fun to read (albeit a bit typical and boring).  Should be able to know what caused that scar on Ako’s back soon.

124 – Love Spells and Dreamy Results

Sweet chapter, Negi doesn't stuff up this time out on a date with Ako.  Maybe it’s due to all the practice he’s been getting, but it was really good seeing him do all the right things and not stuffing up.  I liked the best couple competition in which they chose a wedding costume that was excellent (although the random winner being the children couple was weird).

125 – You’re the Star!

I really really good chapter, that ended the short arc of Ako.  It was great, and probably my favourite mini story in the Mahora Festival.  This ending was awesome, and I loved how in the end, Ako still couldn't confess, there were so many great moments that were funny.  Although I didn't really quite like it when the group met their past selves, that part didn't work coz wouldn't they have remembered it?  Anyway, it was good, period.


126 – Fierce Magical Desires

I didn't like Haruna at first, and this chapter just reinforced that fact.  Her personality is annoying, and the way she probe into things is even worse than Asakura.  So I didn't really like it when Haruna ended up finding out about all the magic stuff.  The chapter was fine, mostly it was ruined for me by Haruna for reasons explained above.

127 – Danger!  Love Triangle Ahead

Whoa, this love triangle thing is turning into a mess, with so many things happening in a short period of time.  It doesn't get confusing, which is good, but Yue’s being difficult, and Haruna just being her annoying self.  It doesn't help that Negi is still as clueless as ever, I do wonder when he will finally find things out that he should know, coz his cluelessness can be annoying at times.

128 – The Front Line of Love and Friendship

The confusion and relationship problem between Yue and Nodoka resolves (thankfully).  And by the end of the chapter, you’ve guessed it, another kiss, and another provisional contract.  Only a couple more now, than goodness Haruna didn't make it too, she’s annoying enough as it is.

129 – My Idol is a Superstar

Now it shifts back to Asuna, with her date with Takamichi.  We learn a bit about Takamichi in fact, and that’s he’s quite famous within the magic world.  Apart from that, nothing much else happens, but at least the whole gang is here, with Negi joining up as well.

Overall

Pretty much my favourite would be the four chapters starring Ako, and it’s now my favourite story within the MahoraFest.  Other chapters are fine, but somewhat uninspiring, and the amount of girls falling for Negi has increased, and their relationships getting more complicated…
