Mahou Sensei Negima!

Love Hina addpermalink

Both are created by Akamatsu Ken. Negima and Love Hina both start off with the harem phase but Negima quickly turns into something else while still maintaining that Love Hina feel. Some characters look strikingly similar to each other as well.

The 2 most popular Ken Akamatsu’s works. Typical harem setting, comedy, ecchi, randomness. In both manga the protagonist is a megane guy loved by most of the female cast, and in both manga the female main character is a brown-haired tsundere. The only difference is that Negima! has magic. 

reportRecommended by RenaPsychoKiller

They both harems.They're kinda ecchi at the same time.They were both written by the same author and they're really funny and well written and drawn. Love Hina has a hopeless guy trying to find his childhood girl and Negima is a young wizard looking for his father when he meets a whole bunch of girls and goes through crazy adventure. 

reportRecommended by Stopurcryin

Same author. Lot of the same elements. And actually, a lot of the characters in this series were based on characters from Love Hina. This has a lot more action, seeing as the main character is a wizard. 

reportRecommended by manami-chan669

If you liked Love Hina you will love Negima. Why? you ask. First the author is the same, so the story line is similar, there are similarities between them, the fact that a boy is stuck not to 5 or 6, but to 30 girls now. 

reportRecommended by advancedbr

For starters, they're by the same author. They both have heave romance /  comedy elements, as well as being harems with lots of ecchi. The characters also have a lot of similarities. Negima is pretty much Love Hina with a some typical shounen elements, like adventure and action, and a much larger cast of characters. 

reportRecommended by HalibelTheEspada

Your a young guy at an age where girls become 'interesting' and they suddenly drop you in an environment with only girls. Lots of funny situations, love stories and hate/love relations. Both main characters get involved in a lot of situations that aren't what they seem to others. This ofcourse make for veru funny situations. The humour in both manga is very similar.  

reportRecommended by Darkbow

They are both done by the same author
They can both be labeled as Harem
They are both Echhi at times
The overall plot is curvy at times, but tends to stay with one thing. (unlike other manga in the genres these are in)

Magi addpermalink

Both mains are blessed with the power of magic. Although they are still quite young, they both show great maturity for their age and are willing to risk anything for the sake of their friends. 

They both are in constant pursuit of a similar goal. Negi trains to become a Magister Magi like his father, while Aladdin battles to keep the world on the proper path and fights to become the king of all Magi. Both are a fantasy world with plenty of comedy, action, and adventure. The only difference is Mahou Sensei Negima is a harem, while Magi is not.

If you like magic and adventure, I think these two manga are for you.  The two can really feel like epic fairy tales at times.  Mahou Sensei Negima! has a magic teacher in a normal school (normal?) whereas Mx0 has a normal guy in a magic school.

Countrouble addpermalink

Both are harem mangas that focus on comedy. The only difference is Negima starts out the same as Countrouble but slowly goes into more of an shounen, action, and adventure kind route.

Also, both protagonists can use magic, which can sometimes aid them or further worsen their problems. They are mistaken as a pervert in the beginning but soon gain the trust and even the love of those around them.

A young boy has a problem... Multiple girls are in love with him (he didn't realise this before) and he doesn't know who he loves... Will he be able to make the right decision before it is to late? Or will all the weird situations he get into ruin it? If you like these kind of setting, these manga are perfect for you!

Douluo Dalu addpermalink

When it comes to magic, Mahou Sensei Negima and Doulou Dalu shows strong amount of its mechanics with the existence of such a theme. Both series' main male protagonist possesses abilities that rivals against others throughout the course of the story. There is also a decent amount of characterization with its character cast and plot twists that can be surprising.

Sora no Otoshimono addpermalink

Both harem/ecchi mangas, they both have action. Although Negima focuses much more on action later on. If I had to recommend a really good harem manga to someone who has read Sora no Otoshimono I would recommend Negima; vice versa.

Zettai Karen Children addpermalink

Taking place in a world where there are supernatural forces at work, Negima and Zettai Karen Children adapts their premises with such elements. The main male protagonist serves as both a mentor and friend for the girls from both series. There is a great deal of focus on the relationship development between them that progresses on with complex sub-plots. At the same time, mysterious origins can be traced in both series that are unrivaled as their stories progresses. With decent comedy and action packed scenarios, I recommend both series for those who wants a bite out of supernatural/magic/action.

O/A addpermalink

Both series feature a kind of over the top style of action. The authors of each of these series likes to have fun with highly unrealistic situations all for the sake of a good laugh. You can really appreciate the authors' ability to have fun with the series so I think if you like the comedy of one, you'll like the other.

Fruits Basket addpermalink

Fruits Basket is a shoujo and Negima is a shounen. But they're two of my favorite series from when I was around 10 years old, and have remained some in my favorites throughout my life for, I feel, a similar reason. 

They're character-based stories.
They're loosely based in a school setting.
They're fantasy and every character hides some kind of fantasy-related secret.
They're comedies with light sexual innuendos, but clueless protagonists.
The protagonists are liked, by the other characters, for their cluelessness and pure heart.
The story sometimes get very emotional, very dark
Yet you could say that the vast majority of their cast, while having flaws
Is made of good people. Well-written, believable characters. And lovable ones.

I think, as I grew up, both these manga have taught me a lot about how real, healthy human interactions should be. A lot about empathy, too. Some real good life lessons are within these books.

But the strong point of these series is their length, their characters, their development and the liking you take to each and every one of these characters, as you get to know them on a deeper level. Even ten years down the road, I could never forget the name of a single one of them. They feel like friends. And that's beautiful.

So if you've liked one... I'd say if you've liked it for the same reasons as me, you'll surely like the other. read more

One: Awesome-ly hilarious teachers(and yes, awesome-ly is supposed to be like that).
Two: Junichirou and Negi look the same, except obviously different ages.
Three: A really big harem in both.
Four: A bunch of different small short love stories involving protagonist mixed in.
Difference: M.S.N. has to do with lots of magic and things like saving the world, while D.K. mostly has to do with school "story of my life" kind of thing,
If you like one, I can almost 100% guarantee that you will like the other.

UQ Holder! addpermalink

Of course you have to recommend the prequel with UQ Holder, assuming it hasn't already been read. While it is not entirely necessary to read it, it does add to some of the fun, as you can see characters from the past pop up in UQ Holder, as well as understand some of the backstory behind Negi Springfield and Fate Averuncus

Leader's High! addpermalink

Both are about a boy that starts working in a school, and both have magic.

In Negima!, the boy is a wizard that starts as a teacher at a normal all-girls school. In Leader's High the boy couldn't care less about magic, but have to take over after his father as principal on a magic school. In both mangas plenty of things get in the way.

Both are good reads (I like Negima! better, though), and you surely would like the other if you liked the one.

Medaka Box addpermalink

Both start off as well-to-do school comedies before escalating into the realm of battle shounen. These were planned genre shifts by their respective authors, with Medaka Box pulling off more than one in its course. Both have powerful main leads and a colorful cast of characters, along with a variety of powers throughout both series. However, as Negima focuses more on world building and its detailed magic systems, Medaka Box focuses more on the characters and what they represent as literary devices. Still, both involve varying levels of 4th wall commentary and breaking. Negima pulls RPG references with a tongue-in-cheek self-awareness to its own ever increasing level of ridiculousness. Medaka Box references various Jump manga before escalating to the point where even the readers aren't safe.  read more
