But saying "We're only halfway done" back then meant it would be about 400 chapters. Saying "We're only halfway done" now means it'll be about 600 chapters. Do you begin to see how this is a significant difference?

@Overmaster: The problem that I see with that is that once the current arc is finished, there isn't much left for Negi to do; all the truly major plot threads will have been resolved, so spending another arc on the students would seem like dragging the manga out after the plot had ended.
Of course, Negi hasn't found his father yet, so I guess Akamatsu could make an arc out of that. If we want to focus more on the other 3-A students, I think a sequel series would be a better way of doing it. That way the current set of events could recieve closure before we move on the students who aren't involved in the big epic plot.

Negi can't even properly save Mundus Magicus until he's come back to Mahora and got Ayaka's help for whatever he has in mind. And I doubt that'll happen without a hitch once he's there. There's another plot sure to kickstart there IMO. |

Speaking of his return and such ... the one thing I have been puzzling over for some time now is Negi's remark that "Iincho would prolly be able to help out a lot" in the fulfillment of his other solution to Cosmo Entelechia's plan....
I can only assume his remark means that it is somehow related to funds (as Iincho is rich).

PREDICTION:
For the final arc, the Lifemaker Reborn will make his way to Earth, having decided to wipe out all life there and on Mundus Magicus. This will lead to Fate Tertium realizing that his boss has gone omnicidal psycho and switching sides. |

Chp 287, page 13. one of the teacher mention they were still preparing for the new term. So the 2nd half of the school year has not started yet. As one of the other poster said, too questions still unanswered for the manga to end. Quote:

True, but for all we know, it might be a montage of them studying as a way of saying 'everything's back to normal now'. I don't know how close we are, I'm just saying I wouldn't be surprised at anything.

Have been wondering if the magaka will pull a historical surprise out of his hat - something like the Lifemaker actually being first created by ... I don't know ... Paracelsus or someone? Am also still wondering what Negi meant when he said Iincho could help out a lot ... hmm ... I sure hope he does not "transplant" the magic world to the internet or something and needs Iincho to buy a huge server room or something similar.

the teacher was complaining that she was still preparing for the new term when she got interrupted by the World tree starting to glow emergency. The chapter also ended with Ayaka and the others heading back to japan form England.

I with those people who feel that there's still a long way to go before Negima can officially end. After all, there's a number of things that still need to be resolved/explained:
Spoiler for Unfinished stuff:

Besides those things I think there's story material for Kurt Godel and the Megalosembrian Senate as well. The young Godel is so different from the current Godel who's manipulative and cold that I wonder how he became like that. Not to mention that he did try to goad Negi into killing him, which apparently would've suited his and the Senate's plans; I don't think it's been explained how it would've done so.
Also, from what we've seen, the Senate don't seem to be very nice people so even after Mundus Magicus is saved, they may still prove to be a threat. And who knows, maybe they do have a clue as to what happened to Nagi. |

^^Strictly speaking, we don't need to see the girls graduate, or for the other 3-A girls to get more development. I really hope we do, but it wouldn't surprise me if some stuff got glossed over when the series ends.
But yeah, there's a lot of material for Akamatsu to work with before he ends the series, and I hope he makes the most of it.

There's also a few more - Misora's "magician boss": Cocone. I wonder if she will be "show her stuff"? Although this one would take (I guess?) a short time to show.... And the strolling twins.

-Given the title that Cocone receives in chapter 300, there's something going on with her (as in the possibility that she's at Mahora to test a possible immigration plan in case the MW does cease to exist); -Ken must have something in mind for the twins given how:
