No reason to scar and potentially ruin her relationship with Touta forever. This isn't the Urobutcher writing and there have been no indicators it would turn into such a grim manga, either. Not so soon and so sudden, anyway.

On the hunter from chapter 1 thought, she may have let him alive because of the circumstances. He not only attacked her but also the boys from the village so with witnesses it could be a case handled by the police and so being in prison instead of wandering around. It would also complicate things for the two if she was to kill someone there on the village where a lot of people knew her and Touta, albeit didn't know the full story.

Kuroumaru attacked them in the middle of nowhere, letting him alive would be more problematic as he would be free instead of prison or the like. Also Eva knows how Shinmeiryuu is effective against her kind, so leaving someone like that alive is likely more dangerous to Touta than the other guy.

All in all, both the possibility she did it expecting to kill him or expecting him to survives are open, so we will see next chapter.

And about this becoming too grim dark suddenly, can we really say that when from chapter 1 and promotional pics, it's almost certain that Kuroumaru is either going to survive that or will be reborn as an immortal in some way? (like Hata said, it may not even be Eva, but the person/group who sent Kurou may do it to him).

Also while Eva certainly cares about Touta and wouldn't like if he started disliking her, she is likely more worried about his ability to survival, and trying to make the whole deal of being a vampire and the stigma that comes with it lighter is more likely to end up with him being killed (or whatever that can be done to them) in the long run.

It would be funny if it was the loli Eva stabbing Kurou in the chest.

Joke aside I think Eva is serious there about getting rid of Kurou. That wound maybe fatal but high chance that Touta will beg her to spare Kurou's life later. I have the feeling Eva has gotten too soft lately, especially when it comes to her relationship with Touta.

Smoking hot cougar and ambiguous gender beauty ? Is this serial made for me ?

[Team Rocket Elite]

This isn't the first time Evangeline has went for the kill against someone trying to kill her or people she knows. Evangeline did try to kill Fate back in Negima chapter 52. He just happened to run in time before getting sliced in half. Also in this chapter it's unclear if she heard Touta before attacking Kuroumaru.

Of course, I'm kinda wondering if Ken Akamatsu is going a "darker" route in a response to Madoka Magica or a number of young adult books that are currently out in America like Twilight and The Mortal Instruments (after all, Negima was inspired somewhat by Harry Potter).

[mechdra]

Why do I sense BL in this series?

If Kurou is a girl, she is really flat...
If Kurou is a guy, he look fabulous...

I actually feel like he is going the darker route. How many deaths/near deaths have their been so far? Konoe, kurou, tachibana, it seems like we're averaging a death a chapter pretty much.

Right, Kudou never said he come from Mars, only mentioned that he come from up...which is the space but what part?
Also, Kurou said he have Japanese ancestry, which make him human but how much? That's one question we'll have to wait and see.

I'm pretty sure Kudou will be alive next chapter...which I'll leave at that.

Fwarlord's comment: That would be amusing to see that happen. Heh~

Death is cheep when you're immortal. Wound wise that is no worse then the one Fate gave Negi in the gate port and he clearly expected him to live through that and it is unclear if he knew he had his healer with him so healing magic might not be that big a deal to fix thqt dqmage.

Just to point something, having Japanese ancestry doesn't mean necessarily a human. For instance, different from Mazoku that comes from the Demon World, the Youkai seems to come from real world, so one could have Japanese ancestry that isn't human.

[ReddyRedWolf]

It occurs to me Touta is a gender bent Asuna in terms initial backstory.

In terms of role Eva is in Takamichi's position. Taking care of a royalty that has lost memories. Which could mean also Eva erased Touta's memory for his own good.

Oh yeah, I forget about the Youkai clans having Japanese ancestry as well.
Can't believe it slipped off my mind of all the times.
Thanks for pointing out.

True, Kurou never stated specific that he was human so that's one more possibilites though the only way to knows is to wait for the next chapter.

Something just occured to me. If time travel/dimension hopping does happen it could answer the greatest question of the Akamatsu crossover universe.

How did Tsukuyomi get the Yuuto Hina? In 2004 Motoko still has it during Keitaro and Naru's wedding.

Somehow the Hina Blade from the future ended up in the past. Thus there were two Hina Blades at the time.

Maybe they forged two Hinas? Because the one in Negima didn't work exactly like the one in LH (that is, it never moved Tsukuyomi to try and kiss anyone).

Even if they're the same sword, the Mundus Magicus arc took place during the summer vacations of 2003 (it's easy to forget the bulk of Negima takes place during a very short time window). After Tsukuyomi was defeated, they presumably took Hina from her and returned it to Motoko. I don't think there's any big mystery there.

[Newprimus]

People here who get turned into vampires become servants to their parent vampires in negima-verse as well, don't they?

So imagine Touta decides to save the guy. Now he gets a gender-ambiguous dude as his manservant, lol. "Lick my feet, pretty-face boy!"

[Breimoon]

Maybe that was eva's idea? Kill him to turn him into touta's eternal sex friend xD
