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 continues his training
with Eva and is becoming a more rounded fighter. Meanwhile, back at
school, some of the girls find a stray dog and it turns into Kotaro
Inugami, the boy Negi fought in Negima!:
Magister Negi Magi - Volume 5.
He has come to warn Negi that danger is coming. During some dream
sequences, Negi dreams of his youth and his father. The school is soon
paid a visit by Graf Wilhelm Josef Von Herrmann who is after Negi.
Kotaro attacks the man, but his powers have been sealed. Von Herrmann
ends up kidnapping five of Negi's students, so Negi and
Kotaro team up to
rescue the girls. Will they be strong enough to defeat the skilled
magic-user and his three cute minions? Or will they fail and his girls
be lost to him forever?

book is intended for readers ages 16 and up.
I have often thought that Negi needed a
guy friend to hang out with. When we first met
Kotaro, I instantly
liked him and found him to be a wonderful addition to this storyline.
After all, he about the same age and height of Negi, so it works out
perfectly. Plus, he is a werewolf, which makes him even cooler. As for
the dream sequences, it
was great getting to know more about Negi and his youth. We don't ever
really get to see him using his magical powers because he tries to hide
it while he teaches. The artwork and storyline by Ken Akamatsu is, yet
again, wonderful and I highly enjoyed this read. The high quality of
this series makes it one of my favorites to read. Overall,
Negima!: Magister Negi
Magi - Volume 8 is another excellent manga book and should not be missed by
anyone who loves fantasy. I wait with baited breath to find out what
will happen in the next installment,
Negima!: Magister Negi
Magi - Volume 9.
I rated this book a 9 out of 10. |
