His surname is Nitta (don't know his given name).

But he lives in USC...how is that possible? ^_^;;

Spoiler for Chapter 74:

- Wow, Sayo can actually move around; I thought she was confined to the classroom or something.

- What did they do to the twins? I didn't really understand that part.

- Nodoka's mind-reading book backfired...that was hilarious!

- Since I can't read Japanese, did Mana do something to make Sayo materialize?

- In some of the shots she look like Konoka with white hair, but her eyes are different...very cute.

- I think Negi and friends thought Sayo had no regrets and went to heaven or something... XD

Spoiler:

The 10th CD's drama had her coming to Evangeline's house to ask her about something. The reason she's still on Earth is because there's someone she likes.

[lensman]

Chapter 74 is up on Negima CN... yay! I can't understand jack, and the chinese guys that lives next door to me don't speak good enough English to explain it to me (even though they laughed their asses off), but finally seeing Sayo was nice. She is actually quite cute for a ghost!

[GyroidFanatic]

Also, 63 is out in English.

[sarcasteak]

The February contract card is out...where's Diaphanus?

Spoiler for Fuka and Fumika!:

Soooo cute!~ They both have double stilettos in their back, too! <3

Spoiler for cover of volume 8:

Yah, I know it's small, but this is the only size I could find so far...

Spoiler for thoughts on chapter 74 now that I've read the translated version:

- Sayo is like a cuter version of Eva with the personality of Shinobu.

- How the hell did Negi manage to count her vote the first time around?! ^_^;;

- LMAO Sayo's initial attempt to haunt the classroom failed miserablely...LMAO

- Sayo can still go to places nearby the school like the convenience store or family restaurant; she basically stays there until morning because she's afraid that something might come out at night...what kind of ghost is she?! XD

- LMAO "I clearly don't have any legs yet I still tripped...I'm really, really a useless useless useless ghost--WAH!!"

- According to the school newspaper, Fuka and Fumika spotted Sayo first and fainted instantly, yet Sakurako and Misa forced them to look at the picture once again...evil!

- Yue's Mysterious Drink #8: Black Vinegar Tomato Juice *barfs*

- Only Kazumi can properly capture Sayo's photo; the shot Ako took was disastrous!

- Sayo can communicate with / be seen by Eva and Kazumi while Mana can only see her when she activates her demon eyes and Nodoka when she uses her mind-reading book...yet not even exorcists and shamans could see her (according to Sayo)! >_>;;

- It's nice to see Mana (AWESOME OUTFIT) and Setsuna (HAWT) in action again...especially Setsuna who has lately been reduced to a silly background character ever since she was conquered.

- Sayo x Kazumi--GL pairing #3?! (#1 is obvious, #2 is Chizuru x Ayaka)

Hehe when I first noticed him being identified as Mr. Squatman I first thought he was some new silly guy who was short and pudgy (i.e. "short and squat"), until he was described as the one who orders students to squat as punishment (that's when I recalled Mr. Nitta from the Kyoto Trip chapters.)

I don't think you can order a god to squat (Enlil = Sumerian God of the Earth)

Hehe how do they share a contract card? Do they kiss Negi in the lips at the same time (and how can that be possible - /me tries to imagine a 3-way french kiss)? And does that mean they can only use/activate the card when they're together (then again they're never separated)? And why ninjas?

[ShadowClone]

Sailor Enlil:

Spoiler:

Well, apparently, they've been training under Nagase Kaede (the obvious ninja of Class 3-A, though she doesn't want to admit it). They mentioned this in the "Love-Love Kiss Operation" during the Kyoto trip.

You might want to spoiler-tag that, ShadowClone. ^_^;;

Now you are just thinking too much!

Spoiler for volume 5:

Their failed contract card was achieved by kissing both sides of the cheek at the same time, though I HIGHLY doubt Negi would ever get their temporary contract card in the story...^_^;;

Spoiler for volume 5:

The twins are Kaeda's roomies, so it doesn't surprise me that they trained under her since everyone and her mom knows that Kaede is a ninja. Oh yah, go ahead and guess what particular ninja skill Fuka and Fumika use.

[Aoie_Emesai]

Im kinda wondering why there are cards of these Mid-Level important characters, or more border line important character.

"i understand why Ayaka there, but the twins or Hakase or Chisame, okashii ne?

ps: rather then for the money ok?

It's done by the character CDs. The characters are grouped together into 12 groups for the CDs to sample the voices for the anime. As a bonus, there is a special edition card printed for one of the characters on the CD. Chisame got a card since she had her own CD (it's kinda hard to pair up someone who hates everybody). Hakase was the best choice between her, Satsuki Yotsuba, and Lingshen Chao. And for the twins, it was either them or Kasuga Misora.

Like GyroidFanatic said, it doesn't directly relate to the story but depends on who's on the CD for that month. I for one HIGHLY doubt Negi would conquer the whole class, but I sure would like to see the possible contract cards of everyone. Wouldn't you?

She seems to be lightening up. In Period 73 it was interesting to see her

Spoiler:

blow her top when everyone is 'playing' maids, and she rips off her school uniform to reveal a maid's costume underneath, declaring she'll show everyone how to do it properly. It seemed to me that before Negi she would have just walked away and let the others do what they wanted, but here she's thinking "if you're going to do it, do it properly!"

Then Mr. Squatman comes in. ?:-)

I figure Squatman could make anyone squat- even gods!

Most definitely.

Hell, Mr. Squatman can make Sayo squat...and she doesn't even have legs!
