Now Viewing: mahou_sensei_negimaTag type: Copyright Shonen anime/manga created by Akamatsu Ken. The manga premiered in 2003 and it has received several anime adaptations (with the OVAs being the most faithful to the manga) and some manga spinoffs like Negima! Neo and Negima Itto Bun and a live action TV series adaptation. It tells the story of Negi Springfield, a young genius child mage and a recent graduate of a magic academy who becomes a teacher at Mahora Academy. If he fulfills his task, he will earn his full magic license and become a Magister Magi but he is required to keep his magic a secret. Negi's greatest desire is to reunite with his father, Nagi Springfield, a legendary mage who has mysteriously disappeared, and this is one of the main reasons why he wants to become a Magister Magi. However, his task of taking care of his students becomes more complicated, and his quest to find his father goes underway, once he discovers that some of his students aren't as normal as they seem. . . The original manga is notable for being a fantasy action adventure series in disguise as a harem comedy. Akamatsu wanted to write an action series, but his editors wanted a harem comedy like his previous work, Love Hina. The first few volumes appear to be a harem comedy, but the manga gradually reveals its true nature. It is also notable for its massive cast of characters, detailed CG backgrounds, numerous references to video games, and extensive use of Latin for its spells and various names.
