Negima volume 13

Manga comics... have ignited graphic novel sales around the world

A real treat for fans... an excellent translation as well as one of the most complete sets of reader notes I've ever seen on a manga

Highly recommended, not just because it's another fine effort from Ken Akamatsu, but also because of the inspired translation and excellent handling of sound effects

Ken Akamatsu is the best-selling creator of Love Hina, one of the most popular manga series translated into English. It was selected by Kodansha for their prestigious 'Manga of the Year' award. Love Hina has been converted into an anime series that is popular in both the US and Japan. Ken Akamatsu lives in Tokyo.

As the Budokai Martial Arts Tournament draws to a close, Negi finds himself facing one of his own students, Setsuna, in battle. But after the strange disappearance of Takahata-sensei, and an even stronger conversation with the mysterious Ku:nel Sanders, can Negi pull it together to emerge victorious? Elsewhere, student Asuna leads a group of rescuers - among them another student of magic - deep into the catacombs beneath Mahora Academy. Who will receive the greater shock: Asuna in the depths below, or Negi facing his long-lost father?

Negima volume 5

When ten-year-old prodigy Negi Springfield graduated from university with a degree in magic, he never imagined he would soon be teaching English to a bevy of gorgeous high school girls. Now Negi's old friend Chamo, a lecherous weasel from Wales, and student Asakura have arranged a competition among the girls to see which of the lovely students will be the first to kiss the teacher! Sure, a kiss will strengthen Negi's magical abilities, but doesn't this contest just support Chamo's voyeuristic proclivities? On the other hand, Negi needs all the help he can get when the magical creatures of western Japan strike back!

SERIES OVERVIEW: 
From Ken Akamatsu, the creator of the hugely popular series Love Hina, Negima follows the adventures of ten-year-old Negi Springfield. He has just graduated from a British school for magic only to find himself assigned to teach English in an all-girl's Japanese high school!
