Shonen Beam

Up to this point, Negima has always been able to pull off lighthearted fantasy in a decently original fashion, but every time I see the Great Grand Master Key, the series feels a little too childish and Kingdom Hearts for my tastes.

That said, it’s good to see young Negi again. It was beginning to feel as though Akamatsu was trying to force the coolness a bit too much with Negi’s older self.

“I am about to enter the Hyperbolic Time Ch– I mean, the Diorama Sphere…”

Akamatsu sure loves making this series as close to an RPG as possible.

Finally, some development in the fake Asuna storyline is coming.

Final Flash: Nothing terribly exciting about yet another transitional chapter.
