Question! I thought Negima was about a young wizard teaching english in an all girls school... This doesn't look anything like the Negima I saw, is this further in the series or a different version of Negima altogether?
Alright, the history of Negima! is a strange one. Ken Akamatsu is, as I'm sure you're aware, famous for Love Hina. Well, shortly after he wrapped that up, he decided he wanted to do a shounen manga but his publishers wanted another harem. Sooooooo.....he disguised a shounen as a harem. It starts out very much like a harem manga (Negi Springfield, Master Mage aspirant, gets sent to an all-girls' high school for his final assignment).
Then the entire series grows a fucking beard that would do a dwarf proud. If you can get through the first five or six volumes (maybe more, I'm a little fuzzy on when exactly the shift occurred), it kicks into serious mode and, well, some bubblegum gets chewed, some names get taken, and some asses get kicked.
If you want to know more, this is where you want to be. Careful of spoilers though, you really don't want to miss any twists. [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MahouSenseiNegima] And yes, that is the site of suction, so tread carefully.
