I really should have been reading the Wild Mass Guessing page for Negima.
Check this thing out. Mundus Magicus
i s THE PLANET MARS, as shown here.
Akamatsu just using it as a convenient inspiration for the geography, or are the magi maintaining a planetwide illusion?

Hmm. You know...
Chao DID say that she was from Mars... didn't she?

THE WMG page proposes that this is connected to why she was willing to travel back in time and change history. However, she did say that there wasn't some
great tragedy that motivated her, just the usual nastiness.
Incidentally, if she really thought that public acknoledgement of magic would help solve the world's problems, she was remarkably stupid. Publicly known
mages would not be free to help solve the world's problems (a.k.a. interfere in countries internal matters).

I'm more on board with the theory that she was really trying to prep Negi for something big, and the reveal was more of a last-ditch backup plan...
--Sam
"Elf finger magic. I hate that."
I more wondering what is going to happen with all the set up from Chao's interactions with the not in the magical world group. The Mad Scientist one got enough data/experience to cause the major event at the school
festival and the cook girl got gifted with the resources that infrastructure that Chao built up to pull that off. That is a very large amount of resources
that are basically floaing around unchecked and Eva did do much plotting with Chao in the background... I think her letting /sending Chachamaru go on this
particular quest is because of foreknowledge. As far as we know Chachamaru isn't in the story without out Chao's inteference with things at all... add
in Chachamaru being pretty much situationally required for one of Neji's minions to function as anything, but bait... and Chachamaru's upgrades that
let her ingest certain magic candy that shouldn't work on robots at all. When her precious model couldn't actully eat. Am I the only one who noticed
this or is this new to people?
One of the things I like best about this manga is that the author made a class of 30 people and they all get developement.
Also, just because your not trying to prevent a specific tragedy, doesn't mean your not going for preventing a global order.

At the usual place.
No Negi, just magical girls stripping each other... Oh, and something is returned. (Yay!)

Negi thinks it's a good idea to lie to Asuna.
Ako is in love with "Nagi".
Dumbass has relalised that "Nagi" has a large bounty on his head.
Nodoka is in trouble.
Pai and Chamo have appeared out of nowhere. Pai has managed to buy an airship.
Fate claims he's here to save the world.
No revelations to mysteries have been forthcoming.

Let's be fair: Jack thinks it's a good idea to lie. Negi has his doubts. Especially since sword-baka won't just come out and tell the
truth. (Assuming he paid enough attention at the time to remember it.)
By "Pai" you mean "Pal," right? If Parvati III were to show up... yikes... ^.^ (Sanjiyan vs. Pureblood... FIGHT!)
I think everyone's accounted for now, to us if not to Negi.

Mind you, I have to leave now to be guest of honour at a birthday party, so I won't get to download any of these until tomorrow... but I know they're out there waiting for me.)

All's still quiet on the Aquastar front, but I found another bunch who're up through 222.
And... oh god... no wonder they wiped Asuna-chan's memory... no wonder she let them... with a weight like that on her shoulders... ![[Image: frown.gif]](http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/frown.gif)
On the map of Mundus Magicus, north is down and south is up. And why would you do that... unless it was to obscure certain geographical resemblances? Also,
the demihuman types are the native population rather than human hybrids.

Wow. That was actually... CANONICAL. And not half bad either, even if the first part was little more than a clip show. Damn shame their plan
seems to be to adapt only the summer vacation and rigorously avoid anything smacking of shonen action.
And for once Asuna's heterochromia isn't painted so loudly that it hurts to look at her face. o.O

...the Noizy version at Onemanga.com, anyway.
(I'll still save the Aquastar version, but it's nice to have one that's right up to date.)
Yeah, I was wondering what would happen to that table... o.o;

The answer is given. (Yay Asuna!) The real war begins, here and now.
