I've really gotta re-re-read the series again sometime. I hate the ending (which seemed horribly rushed), but otherwise it's one of the few harem series I can actually stand.
Ugh, don't get me started. We still have no idea what happened to Negi's mother, and I'm pissed that Negi spent literally the entire manga searching for his dad and never once expresses the slightest interest in why his mom, the damn QUEEN of MARS, has yet to turn up. For that matter, how his dad helped him when that day in the village. By all rights, Negi should be a statue right now.
Late post is late.
