Negi
Springfield, at 10 years old boy, has just graduated from sorcerer
school. His new job is to teach English to middle school students in the
Mahora School District in Japan, although it is not the position he was
hoping to get. The school is an all girls school and
his class consists of 31 students.
Asuna Kagurazaka is a loud and brash
girl who has a crush on Takahata, and older teacher at the school.
Negi's advisor is the very voluptuous Shizuna who helps him out in any
way she can. Because they are short of
space in the school, Negi is assigned to bunk with Asuna, who, of
course, does not like this idea at all. All of the girls in the class
think Negi is cute, except for Asuna. All Negi wants to do is help Asuna
out, but he only seems to cause trouble, whether he is using his magic
or not.
Asuna sees him using magic and convinced Negi to help her win
the love of Takahata, but nothing ever seems to go as planned. Then, to
stir up a little trouble, the high school dodge ball team wants their
old stomping grounds back and the middle school girls decide that there
is NO WAY they are giving up there own court. Balls will be flying . . .
