Another jump in time!?
Didn't really expect the chapter to focus on Yue (until I saw the title).

Holy shit Yue became a lazy as fuck, drunk on tea, good looking magical detective!? At least something good came out of this ending! But damn thats some high powered shit she knows...she is at Culture Festival Negi levels of power here.

WOW....how the mighty have fallen!

This, is how you spend your final chapters of Negima Ken?!?!

Instead of focusing on a good epilogue you waste it on bullshit?

I'm really hoping they don't even show who Negi chose in the final chapter, it would be the ultimate troll, in fact it would be the biggest troll in manga history.

and since Ken turned Negima into a HUGE JOKE these final years, it only deserves a stupid and shitty ending such as this.


I'm speechless, when I read Love Hina the final chapters were excellent, it was a great conclusion to a fun and enjoyable manga....it's clear to me that Ken Akamatsu lost his touch while making Negima.

It's hard to hate the guy, I love the way he draws, and I still consider him a great storyteller, but this is just stupid.

6/10 for Negima, I don't really care what they show in the finale.

Heh, I'm assuming that since Yue is getting the spotlight, she must be "the one" for Negi, right? But of course, Ken can always throw out more bollocks and troll me again.
(Tch...I'm still dreaming of Negi becoming a hardcore lady-killer and living out the polygamy lifestyle.)

Not sure what to make of this. I agree with a lot of people in that it would have been an alright chapter if it were placed anywhere but here.

I understand what's supposed to be happening right now, I think. It's similar to how Love Hina ended, or at least how I heard that series ended, since we're going into the future to see how things have changed. I think it could have been done a LOT better, since it really should focus on more than one or two characters.

that is what i thought too...

although it is such a sad thing to see a fun manga reduced to this kind of ending. its likely the author might redeem themselves by making a spinoff that might go in the direction they intended in the first place.

So rushed. I just can't quite escape the feeling that Akamatsu need more time. I mean these chapters are hardly staying on topic from one week to another. A chapter in the future where Negi is dead, then a chapter back in present day undoing what happened last chapter, then a chapter somewhere between the two focusing on events unrelated to either of them. Akamatsu is better than that. It's hardly fair to the reader, but hey, at least Negi's alive and we've been promised an ending full of romance. That's something I guess. You take what you can get. Here's hoping for better luck with his next project. Looks like a sequel with Yue could be in the works. Can't imagine why else this chapter would exist.

Wow... to think this is how Negima is ending; i didn't like the idea of it dragging out so when it was announced that it was ending i was ok with it if it ended well and least to say...Its really depressing to think how far this has fallen.

Uh was ok chapter I guess, but I didn't expect this, was a little out of place...Was expecting to hear some unanswered questions, guess I hoped too much. Most of this Chapter was just wasted imo.

Yue seemed more powerful, which I was glad to see, and the rest of the class who made a pactio we find out are protecting the world it seems. That was the only new info.

Also as others have mentioned does seem like a spin-off might be written or like a 2nd season manga possibly, or a follow on. Have to wait and find out though.

Guessing the person at the end is Negi? xD Since it was like lightning striking down, well I just hope the final chapter is an improvement and answers some of those questions that have been left out..

Like seriously? A whole chapter of yue with no continuation to the plot? Lol i have totally gave up on the last chapter, negima has been dropping on me since they entered the magical world. Like seriously, what the hell is going on in the past few months?

Well i guess i will stop my whinning and patiently waits for the last chapter, i dont think ken's gonna be able to pull off any miracle for a good epilogue but at least i hope it will be a decent one, although i highly doubt the possibility of that happening at all.

This just feels so awkward with a random time-skip of a few years and showing Yue at the academy still.
I just can't put in my mind what all of it will eventually follow up to, nor figure out who Negi's 'crush' was from the big bombshell of my original thought of it being Asuna being blown out the door.

Yep I could definitively see Nodoka being the one that come to save Yue with a spin off with Yue and Nodoka.
A magical detective manga sound pretty neat but right that's probably just me hoping for it and it won't happen.

Chapter was very good in itself, now as a closure chapter I think that it's very bad because it does not do it's role of closing the story but rather expand it further (Which is the thing that give me hope for a spin off or sequel manga).

I think that there's too much left in this world just to discard it and with the fanbase and the sale I doubt that Ken would have been allowed to finish it if he hadn't something up his sleeve be it a sequel/spin off manga or simply a new original work.

If they outta no where say thats negis kid im gonna flip, because they kid even asked who the hell the kid in the picture was, so if he out of nowhere is like O SNAP ITS DAD im gonna snap....


2 years passed since graduation. Even if Negi had fucked a girl on the day of the graduation and got her pregnant his child wouldn't even be 2 year old.

Well yeah, probably a start for a spin off. Maybe he just made this chapter so his decision in the final chapter has any sense. Maybe in this short story he will show up to help yue along with the girl he choosed (propably nodoka since it would be kind of strange if yue and nodoka got separated and yue goes lazy after that). And... it's just my opinion but chapter 353 would even be called "the end" if not for asuna's question about who's the girl negi likes and then getting that excited about it.

But this one's "false body" is a little thinner and got some holes on it, also this one got more arms.

The only thing the ending can do right now is show who it was he chose; it better be "shocking" also otherwise Asuna's reaction was redundant.

She looked like she still likes him; but it looks like she wasn't chosen since at first before the blush she looked reminiscent as if she wasn't chosen.

Negima is obviously gonna be continued in another form - like a new story in the same universe. So ending chapters must not contain only "ending vibes". They must also have the foundation for the new saga in them.

And this manga can`t fall. Naked Yue and a bit of lesbian echi - nothing new and actually something which is obligatory for Negima. Why so serious, dudes?

BTW Yue is fucking hot. But i hope that Negi didn`t choose her - i`ve been voting for Eva-chan.
Well, Yue is not the worst option though. I don`t dislike her. Still better than Nodoka - Nodoka irritated me to no end...

Well, it said years later.
If Yue has her own business, I'm assuming that it has been more than 2 years because the graduation was for middle school. 7 is a possibility.
I'm really hoping this has something to do with the plot, otherwise, it is just another fanservice chapter...

Guys, it's written at the beginning of this chapter loud and clear: 7 YEARS LATER; i.e. Yue and other girls are 22 and Negi is 18!

Some of you guys automatically believe that this manga will have a sequel or spin-off....

I guess I'm the ONLY one that doesn't believe that.

Sorry, but I've seen other manga end just like this....(Where nothing is solved and there's just a bunch of questions)...and there is NO sequel or spin-off.

I know Negmia is very popular, but if Ken wanted to do a Sequel, why would he finish this manga???

Why not just continue it until it is properly finished???

Oh well, personally I don't really care if there is a spin-off or sequel, Negima's has been so bad for the past 2 years I can't really expect something good at this point.

1- Negima is a popular work in jump and popular manga in jump aren't allowed to end until they drop a lot in popularity. The very fact that Ken was allowed to end his manga pretty much imply that Ken have something else up his ass be it a sequel/spin off manga or a totally new original manga serie.

2- There's thing you can do in a spin off manga that you can't really do in the manga it's deviated from. The manga is called Mahou sensei negima and the name lost it's purpose ever since the students graduated and Negi stopped being a teacher.
Also a spin off manga allow you to change the way the story is told, the mains characters and give a fresh new feeling to it, it also serve as a good marketing value. On another note a spin-off manga does not have to follow on it's predecessor's storyline. Basically it does not have to fit the hole in the main serie even though it would be pretty much cheap not to.

Ken focusing especially on Yue's life after all these event with a damn follow up chapter as the two final chapter on the manga has a very good chance of opening up a spin off manga. If he planned on ending everything here he would had made better use of these last two chapter.

People should remember that Ken's style is randomness and fanservice.
Most people here started to read Negima when it was in mahou sekai arc and probably forgot that fanservice and randomness were omnipresents before that.

Negima was not meant to be a serious shonen with a detailled plot from the start and I beleive that Ken's mistake was to try to turn it that way.
Ken should return to his roots while making use of the world he built in negima and a spin off manga might be the key to that.

Ken is a man of many narrative talents. Certainly his writing has always had a liberal dose of humor, but I don't think we can write him off as "His style is randomness and fanservice" as if the rest of what he did doesn't count. He's proficient at character growth. That dates all the way back to Love Hina. He's proficient in battle-shonen and more serious plots. This manga has been all of these things, and to simply leave the plot and characters of the manga unattended in the conclusion of the comic in favor of gags and fanservice isn't excusable simply by nature of the fact that both have always been a large part of the series.
