5. Magia Erebea effect were only left to speculation for the characters, so it isn't surprising Negi become immortal-like, but still mortal in the end. After all, the transformation process wasn't the same as Eva's. 8. Not really necessary since it was hinted long before that Konoka would just need more power. Since it was already shown quickly in the different timeline portion, it is "covered". The question wasn't "if they will manage it", but rather "when". That said, we can also add others points: -Master of the Gravekeepers' Palace -Actual origin and motives of the Lifemaker (after all, we only know Kosmo Entelecheia objective. LM objective was probably different before he settled mars, before warping into the way he became I think). -Original plan of the Megalomesembria senate (since it was heavy implied by Kurt that the senate were the ones behind Hermann's group attack) -Demon's cast (Hermann, Mana's origins, and especially Zazie and her sister) -Chao's actual plight (world crisis hardly matches Mana's description of "it happens all the time") -Chizuru's involvement to Negi's heavy schedule (since it was the reason why she got a pactio) -Satsuki's real involvement regarding Magic stuff (unless Akamatsu was just doing some red herring) -Fuka and Fumika's pactio There are probably more loose ends in the lot.

1. The idea that the Magic World arc is supposed to be the final "major" arc in the manga; 2. Ken Akamatsu's contract in which he works exclusively for Kodansha is ending/has ended, which very likely has some connection to the amount of time Ken Akamatsu has left to work on Negima.

Yue end still looks likely to me. My expectations for the finale chapter are rock bottom right now. I suppose I'll see you guys in about 7 days time because this one chapter I don't want to read the spoilers (or even reactions to) for, lol.

I actually enjoyed seeing Detective Yue, and I don't usually like Yue. Just... there is so much to cover. The chapter was pretty entertaining up to Paio showing up, but there's only one chapter left. Akamatsu choosing to hand the spotlight over to one (one!) of the girls instead of wrapping up some of the loose threads is a bit frustrating.

Ken: 355, DONE, and he is not retiring.
http://twitter.com/KenAkamatsu/statu...59925922635776 give thanks to all the assistants for the 9 years, and took a commemorative picture of everyone just like when Love Hina ended. Ken is scheduled to give a speech for E-book 03/12, people are supposed to pay 1,500 yen to listen to him. (and other people.) http://www.freekspaper.jp/event/freeks-1-0/

So a Negima sequel may really be a possibility.

Here's a translation by Dowolf of the message that Akamatsu-sesnei posted on Twitter that Hata mentioned:
"I've just finished drawing the final chapter of Negima (Chapter 355)! Thank you for all your support over these past nine years. =ʕ◕̀ᴥ◕́ʔ=... I certainly have no intention of retiring, so look forward to my next work or sequel(?)" |

Nah, this has to be another season of Mao-chan.
Seriously, if Ken Akamatsu does do a sequel or something, I'd expect it to be something similar to the special chapter of Love Hina he did in honor of 300 chapters of Negima (only with said chapter being on J-Comi).

Im not even hyped about sequels, unless its anything that gives negima a propper wrap up im done with this guy :/ chapter was stupid and pointless, if he has nothing more to say he shouldve just ended it last chapter...
Im just super let down, negima was always one of my favorite mangas (top 3 i guess xD) but this ending is just unworthy... And Ill never be able to read these mangas again without thinking "youll never know how it ended" :/ Unless he pulls a miracle in the last chapter I'm done with negima >.<

Worse. I'll never fully enjoy whatever sequel or new series he's making, because however funny or awesome or romantic the story will be, it will always be haunted by the fears that it will "not have a proper ending, just like Negima"
I mean, what's the use being excited about a new story if there's a risk it won't have a proper ending, because that was the fate of its predecessor?
