thanx for the raw on WC.

-- apparently Ken is buying his own Jump magazine, (not free), and titles he follows are HxH and Bakuman from his comments, (9th)

-- Editor called up Ken late at night (11th) after he finished and turned in C341. informing him that beside "mad" or "crazy", it is also banning bad taboo word like "orphanage", so in the chapter it has to be changed into something like "Children Care and Protection Agency", etc. which if like before, will be changed back in the compilation.

-- Ken takes note the suicide of mangaka Aoyama (12th)

-- Ken is busy this week with lot's of meeting, including color cover for 36 (13th), assistant KW had put "AGRS" on the first page of C338, as a tribute to seiyu Sugita Tomokazu, AGRS being Anigera! the dojinshi group he belongs to.

-- Ken caught a cold (14th), which will affect his scheduling a bit.

-- MNMRI had put up photos of live locations for C339, including the "Myuru Cafe" which is really a Starbucks at Okinawa with left right reverse, and the Shibuya street view which is from an older photo with some of the store fronts different. (which make sense, the story is still in Sep 2003.) they will probably put up the Shinjuku Hyatt for C340 later.

-- consider there is no demand, I will just do irregular comments instead page by page.

Spoiler for 341:

-- there is one possible hidden meaning of the Setsuna fan service here, Ken on his diary on 09/29 saying he is having a meeting with people to talk about the movie, (for the perceived failure), and he would come out something that will make sense for all Negima fans after movie is over, right now Negima is in its second run in some of the rural area, while together with this chapter, Ken announces that 31 pactio cards will be included with the movie DVD LE 37. so Setsuna knelling apologizing to Asuna could be Ken's way of showing his apology to the fans, just using one of his more popular character while doing a fan service shot for it,

-- Konoka's future goal: study hard to become a "great magi magistra" as promise to Setsuna. (with Setsuna being her swordsman.)

-- turns out Mana donates all her earning to the "Musashi Mahora Children Care and Protection Agency" and she is the anonymous uncle long leg, that is because of her hidden past history, but in the future Mana will try to fix the problem at the roots instead, and that will take even more capitals,

-- Ku Fei's future goal is of course Negi.

-- Kaede: sleep well, eat well, everyday is a good day.

-- compares to those three, Setsuna seems lost?

-- Yue: study hard to help Negi, will go back study aboard at Ariadne!

-- Paru: thinking Yue being foolish, (let Chacha got ahead of her.) Paru's goal? go back to MW and rules the empire with her pen to take it to the imperial capital governor!
(the governor mentioned here is an obvious stab at the Tokyo governor Shintarō Ishihara, you can google him and "Tokyo Metropolitan Ordinance Regarding the Healthy Development of Youths" to see why he is the number one enemy of the Japan ACG industry.)

-- Kazumi: publishes her Negi report after the two worlds are united.

-- Maki: gets better scores.

-- Yuna: marrys her dad. ^^;

-- Chacha: earns a secretary qualification.

-- Chisami: being Negi's consultant.

-- Setsuna future fantasy number 2, which is better than working at 7-11, so the real contract does required skins? (or is Ken reading too much of AirGear lately?)

-- which just like Chacha's was read by someone else, Eva, "Aho", so after Setsuna's great declaration to Eva at Mahora tournament, of course she was suitably punished by Eva, that to reach the goal one has to pay the price like Negi (inhuman?) and Asuna (memory?) did.

-- there are two ways to look at the meaning of the "last" practice match of Eva vs Negi+Asuna, which Ken very unusually highlighted on the end chapter teaser, it could just mean Negi had reached a point where Eva can't teach them any more things like Rakan, graduation of Negi being a student of Eva, etc. or it could mean Eva is planning to go to the bottom of world tree to face LifeMaker just like Rakan going off facing Fate, in any case, this could mean Eva would be taking out of the loop for any future help for Negi again just like the Magic World arc.
