Review

Negi Springfield is an English teacher at the all girls Mahora School District Middle School in Japan even though he is only 10 years old. Negi his students are still in Kyoto on a field trip, but time is running out. After the battle at Cinema Village, Negi and some of his students travel to Konoka's home. Negi delivers the official letter from the Elder of the East and Headmaster of Mahora Academy to Konoka's father, thus completing is mission. They enjoy a relaxing day just enjoying the wonderful mansion Konoka lives in. The peace is soon broken when enemies appear who seem to want Konoka. Calling in for reenforcements, the battles soon begin. Although they try to protect Konoka, she is taken by the bad guys. A huge melee soon follows and creatures and enemies are laid to waist. The only real question is whether Negi and his students are powerful enough to finally defeat their enemies once and for all.

Negima!: Magister Negi Magi - Volume 6 is a manga book written and drawn by Ken Akamatsu. This collection of ten periods, 44 through 53, was Translated by Toshifumi Yoshida, Adapted by Trish Ledoux and Lettered by Steve Palmer. This book contains the following periods:

There are also some special extras in the following sections: Character Sketches, About the Creator, Translation Notes, and Cover Sketches. The book reads from right to left and back to front, just like a book from Japan. This manga book is intended for readers ages 16 and up.

Negima!: Magister Negi Magi continues to be one of my favorite manga series that Del Rey Manga publishes. I love that Negi uses his magic now and the battles with the bad guys are a blast! It is also cool that some of his student's know his secret and help him battle all of his enemies. Once again, the artwork is wonderful and the storyline is quick and action-packed. This series has really turned out to be quite the page-turner. I have thoroughly enjoyed the field trip storyline, which covered three entire books. Now that the field trip is over, I hope that another large storyline will appear in the next book, or that Negi still has battles to come. Either way, I am sure that there is more fun to be had. Overall, I found that I loved Negima!: Magister Negi Magi - Volume 6 and highly recommend this manga series. I look forward to seeing what will happen when this teacher and his students return to school in Negima!: Magister Negi Magi - Volume 7. I wonder what adventures await them . . .

I rated this book a 9½ out of 10.
