As my last anime aside: Breaking street date on DVDs and movies seems to be far more common than it is for books (where it's a biiiig no-no), I've already seen the Negima DVD for sale as well.
Back to the manga:
I actually didn't like Kotaro that much when they first introduced him as a regular character (the volume with the Demon, the water babies, and the kidnapping of Negi's friends) - he seemed a little generic shonen rival to me, but I have to admit he's grown on me a bit. A lot of that, I suspect, has to do with the turn Chizuru's taken. Whereas before she was just sort of the cute airhead girl with the big breasts, I like the slightly darker side she's shown since Kotaro showed up. Plus, anything that develops the other girls in the class is always pretty interesting in my book.
Though I would like a chapter sometime explaining about Kotaro's dog-person-ness.
