Negima volume 18 – If Negi gets with Asuna I will be pissed off
I have finally returned after a long week of camping in Maine in the cold with no anime or games. I was able to finish volume 18 of Negima on the drive back though. It was overall I good volume. Maybe more on the “filler” side from an action stand point but it had some nice scenes of Nodoka, and Yue so I think that makes up for it.
The Mahora festival is over and Chao goes back home. Things return back to normal for the most part. Negi hears word from Ku Nel that his father is still alive, and his determination to find his father gets his blood flowing again. Once again this gets Asuna a little angry and Negi turns emo for a few chapters.
To be honest, I don’t really understand Negi’s plight and Asuna’s issue here. I think Akamatsu is just doing this to try and make these characters seem “deep”. I don’t think it’s a stretch for Negi to be thinking about life in a serious manner but just some of the things that have happened in the Chao Arc just seemed kinda bogus. I didn’t really understand just why Negi was getting so depressed and flustered about right and wrong when it came to taking Chao out. Chao was definitely in the wrong because she wanted to reveal magic to the world and all that stuff. Negi honestly thinks too much.
Then there is Asuna, I am not exactly sure what her problem is when it comes to Negi finding his father. Sure, we all know that Negi will probably find him in the course of the series but in a real life situation it would see kinda slim to nil to find someone with no leads. Asuna is probably just taking that stance and not to mention she is concerned with Negi. It’s just that she seems to draw this ‘you’re thinking about your father too much’ card every so often, and it’s getting on my nerves. What’s wrong with someone having a little hope and determination? It’s not like Negi is completely disregarding his responsibilities or anything.
My favorite chapters this volume were 164 and 165 where various girls from 3-A go to the confessional with Misora and Cocone in it and not a priest. It just had a lot of cute shots of Nodoka and Yue blushing. Plus Nodoka’s conclusion on how to solve the problem of her and Yue liking Negi was pretty funny. I don’t know about others but I think it’s impossible to not like Yue and like Nodoka and vice versa. I first liked Nodoka from volume one ever since she fell on top of Negi in the library, but I didn’t like Yue until the Kyoto Arc at the latest.
I hope Negi ends up with one of them because if he freaking ends up with Asuna I will be totally pissed off. When Negi is in the confessional, it gives me some hope that perhaps he has feelings for Nodoka when he thinks of girls he has special feelings for. So, who knows. I’m rooting for Yue and Nodoka. Either or or even both would be fine with me. Polygamy for the win.
“Polygamy for the win.”
Negi should end up with the whole class…The biggest harem in history.
Polygamy would be the only way to avoid the fan backlash…
Those two are a set anyways. Wife and mistress ftw?
I hope Yue ends up with him!!!
honestly i agree with you about negi ending up with asuna, but both of them do have ‘real’ reasons for how they act in those situations…
(potential spoilers for those who arent up to date on the story, though i doubt it… im just not gonna comb over everything i say)
negi being concerned about right or wrong is because he bases his actions on perceptions… mainly the one he has of his father, who always did the right thing no matter what it takes… as to chao, it had already been said that she had come to the past in order to avert at least one big disaster… and contain as many of the little ones as possible that would result from her tampering. negi’s confusion on the subject wasnt about what she was doing and whether it was good or evil, but whether she herself was… because thats all he could really judge- he doesnt know what event she’s trying to prevent, only that shes doing so… so he cant say if it needs to be… only that she thinks it does… so in his mind shes a ‘good’ person, but doing something he personally considered ‘evil’… and because he cares alot about good and evil (he is 10 after all right?) that kinda throws him for a loop…
thats it for negi and chao… as for negi and asuna, negi focuses /only/ on his father… he tries to go it alone and not involve anyone else in his personal quest, which is extremely dangerous… thats what asuna gets pissed at him over… far as i can figure theres two reasons for her… one is simple jealousy (leading to the fact she keeps commenting on him thinking only of his father), which is kinda weird considering shes jealous of his father, but… it makes sense, especially because she keeps trying not to admit she likes him… (i dont like that kind of character… bleh) any rate, the second reason is because she’s his partner, and because she likes him, and she knows the others like him, she takes that very seriously… so she keeps getting pissed off at him for shutting them out of it when they could help him, and indeed assist in keeping him safe… so the second reason is the fact that negi is considering their safety- not how they would feel about such treatment…
hopefully that makes stuff make more sense for you in regards to those two situations..
and on a completely whimsical note, my favorite characters are Kaede and the chinese girl (yes yes, i forgot her name :( the one who teaches negi chinese kenpo)
Hey! Thanks for clarifying that stuff.
In my opinion i think that its gonna be impossible for negi to choose nodoka or yue, since they have a love triangle and i dont think he has the guts to go with one and tell off the other.But besides that i really don’t like either of those pairings and really am hoping that negi and asuna hurry up and get together :)
they need a time skip sumwhere dammit
Yeah I know, but I still want to see him get with one of them.
who’s the girl with orange hair in pigtails and has a blue eye and a green eye in the anime? srry, haven’t watched the anime!! :)
Huh. You say you haven’t see the anime but you ask about the anime. Maybe you meant the manga? That’s Asuna. Also, google is your friend. Use it.
I think the top 5 matches for Negi (not in any order) is; Asuna, Konoka, Nodoka, Yue, or Anya. Im hoping for a 3way relationship between Negi Konoka and Setsuna…that would be hot. The worst would be the twins just for the fact that both would probably try to trick negi into bed as a joke if he picked the other. I also wouldn’t mind the huge harem I’m sure they would do it too. I mean they have tried to rip off all his cloths before .
Konoka, really? Hmm. I still would like to see either him with Yue, Nodoka or both. Getting with the twins would just be shit.
Whoever he gets with, i don’t care, as long as it ISN’T Asuna or Class Rep, but for the newest chapter that just got out… it looks like Asuna, and with the fact that she’s the main heroine, thats a possiblity too… oh my god, i’m already pissed haha
Fuck Asuna!
Dood, after reading some manga, i feel in love with Ako with Nagi(Negi), that pairing doesn’t seem too bad
Yeah I remember that chapter. That was a good one.
Spoiler
Fear not little ones, Asuna is Negis sister.
That would be great.
Bzzzt, WRONG
Asuna is Negi’s AUNT.
She is? Interesting.
