I don’t like Ako she lacks too much confidence… is the only character in negima that annoys me

I’d really like Akamatsu to break the rules concerning OTP, and I wouldn’t be all that surprised at this point if he did, but the prospect seems too good to be true. I’m a little hesitant to write about Ako in the magic world arc until it’s finished; I feel like Akamatsu has more in store for her before the end. Or maybe that’s wishful thinking.

Yeah, I think it’s an interesting trope, but it’s probably so spread-out that it’d be difficult for one person to write about it alone. It’d be interesting to compile the thoughts of several bloggers on the matter.

(…)were under no circumstances considered for One True Pairing(…)”

Oh, just you wait. But yes, you’re totally on the money with this tangent. Get to the magic world arc already!

You nailed the Akamatsu down pat, and I eagerly await more posts as and when you get around to writing them.

Negima is a very metafictional handling of things – they constantly make reference to issues with questions like “Should a hero behave this way?”

I want to more closely examine the “girl plays bass guitar” premise and what exactly it symbolizes. I think you’re on to something here.
