| | Amazon.com: Negima!: Magister Negi Magi, Volume 1: Books: Ken Akamatsu (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | From Ken Akamatsu, writer/artist of the popular "Love Hina," comes "Negima!: Magister Negi Magi." This comic follows the adventures of Negi Springfield, a young 10-year old magician from Wales who has been assigned to an all-girls school in Japan as an English teacher for his post-graduation assignment. |
 | | The main problem with "Negima's" first volume is that it seems unoriginal, with a Harry Potter lookalike as the hero, and a love-hate relationship straight out of "Love Hina." It's a fun read, but it feels a bit unfocused, as if Akamatsu wasn't yet sure what he wanted the series to be about. |
 | | The first volume of "Negima" is a relatively weak effort, but the last few chapters reveal that Akamatsu's new series will probably blossom in the next few volumes. |
