Well, he got Magia Erebia from being Negi's Grandson/clone

And he got Magic Cancel because by extension he is the Great-Grandson of Akira, who also used some variation of it (and having blood ties to the Mage of the Beginning)

I mean, yeah, I get the obvious implication in how Asuna is supposed to fit into all of this, but given that she is 1)not around
for at least another 50 years
and 2) her romantic pairing with Negi was sunk in Negima (twice), I don't see how that would work here.

He's a clone of Negi and Asuna's lovechild

Asuna doesn't like Negi, and Negi is asexual.

I really do wonder. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Asuna was also a hardcore tsundere

Speaking of recommendations, I really want a good battle/fighting shonen manga to pick up. I've read all the usual suspects (Big 3, Toriko, HxH, Fairy Tail, ect.), so I'm looking for something a little more obscure or not as readily known. While I do prefer shonen style for battle manga, I don't mind more adult style seinen either (Like Berserk or Claymore for example). Series that have characters with unique Powers/Abilties are usually a big hook for me, which is part of the reason I love One Piece so much. Natsu no Taizai is also a big favorite of mine as well, has all the trappings of what I like in a manga.

Anyone got any goood recommendations fitting those decriptions? Currently, I'm reading Tokyo Ghoul. I'm enjoying it, but I'm still looking for something to scratch that battle-style manga itch I have.

The answer to almost all questions is Ushio and Tora.

And how did said lovechild get made with a mother who wasn't around for nearly 90 years?



Sure, but her last 2 talks with Negi made it pretty clear she ought of him as an actual little brother, not a romantic interest.

Have you read Kingdom and One-Punch Man? They're seinen, but they're arguably the best action manga currently running.

Keijo and Tsugumomo are two other series well worth checking.

In all seriousness, in Negima none of the girls made any sense at all other than Asuna, but then Ken went out of his way to torpedo the ship for the purposes of ensuing he could write an ending where Negi picks no one despite that actually being a plot point at one point in the series.

Fuuka 64

"Oh Fuuka reminds me of Fuuka"

How long will it take to get to the this to it's obvious conclusion?

Boku Wa Mari no Naka 51

I'm guessing Mari suffered some time of abuse as a child.
Interesting she actually started having a flashback, basically confirming that Mari really is Mari.

He should let Fuuka join the fucking band.

That was rather touching in a flesh-eating kind of way. It suggests a level of sentience for the mermaids way beyond anything that's been hinted at in previous chapters. Hoping to see this developed, and maybe we'll find out what triggers their Berserker Mode soon. It better be soon, since tragically there're only 5 chapters left.

Konjiki no Gash ( Zatch Bell ).

Hot-blooded, easy to follow, absurd slapstick of humour and certainly a variety of powers displayed here.

Look at the bright side. Maybe someday after the whole SNK vs SE debacle over, he could resume his work.

I was thinking today whether Soma actually will beat Yugioh here. On the one hand, I think from a narrative standpoint, it would make more sense if he didn't, but from another view point, I feel like manga will never end if he's still a cooking genin by Chapter 200 or something.

RIP Hachiken, he's never going to live that down, the issue with the Nationals.

Anyway, troubles all around the corner and lots of laughter along the way. Man, I really miss this series being weekly. Shame about Arakawa's situation which forced her to slow down the pace of how many chapters she can draw.
