Lets see…I found some more scans here.
Here's a scan from a game guide of adult Eva.
Then some more…involving PE uniform scans from game guides.
That's all for now.
-
Hey, can you guys give me the low-down on Ako's biography? I seem to remember her being dumped by her boyfriend, but there's a great deal of scans to go through (however, it IS mentioned in Chapter 123) and I can't find any resource information about such.

Here's Ako-chan's profile…
Mahora Academy Junior High Section Class 2/3A #5
Name: Izumi AkoHow she adresses Negi: Negi-sensei
How Negi adresses her: Ako-sanDate of Birth: 1988/11/21
Blood Type: A
Favorite Things: Cute Band aids, laundry
Disliked Things: Blood and Fighting.
Club/Post:
-Class Commite: Health Assistant
-Manager of the male juniour High soccer team
CD Group: September-The Sports Freinds Quartet
Seiyuu: Yamakawa Kotomi*Rather contrasting with her fainthearted and softhearted nature, she is actually excel in sports
*Good freinds with Yuna, Makie and Akira
*Osaka Accent
*Has a mysterious scar on her right side flank
*Not good at a computer
*On March 2003, she confessed to an upperclassman but got rejected, now she's still single.
*Got a crush on 15-year-old Negi on the first sight (Not that she kows that its Negi.)Hope that helps. Question though...What do you think will happen if Ako finds out he's actually Negi and he's a mage? Someone will find out sooner or later little by little. Take Chisame for example.
EDIT-Woot! 100th post made in this thread! Kanpai!
:yatta: :yatta: :yatta: -
Hopefully that will not happen for Ako; seventeen students knowing Negi's background is enough; if Saotome finds out, Negi needs to fill an application for the Welsh Ermine Society.
…
However, I have little doubt that there is a strong possibility of Ako finding out that her "prince" is actually a pauper (err...teacher). The bio you procured (where did you get it...?) mentions Ako likes cute band-aids, so she COULD recognize the band-aid on Negi/Nagi' face. If she does, though, I hope it's a sort of "could he...no." kind of thing.
Akamatsu said this ending was "warm", but there is still drama to occur. I was afraid of a "Ako sees Nagi with someone else", or "Nagi turns into Negi" or "Nagi gets cursed" kind of drama, with very gross and not cool endings. Those seem most likely; I'm interested as to how Negi managed to squeeze out of this tight spot without hurting Ako's feelings.
-
Those are honestly one of the things I dislike about Haruna.
If she were to find out, it would be over for Negi.
On the other hand, kazumi did find out and she was plotting to send the info in the media.
If Haruna did find out, before she would go wild, I wonder how she'll react when Negi says he'll be turned into an Ermine for his life if that happens?
A change of heart?
I really hope so.
-
I doubt that. There's potential in having Negi turned into an Ermine, just as there's a possibly hillarious min-arc if Chamo gets turned back into a human. I wonder what he looks like?
-
I hope not everybody finds out, though it may be inevidible.
My favorite scenario would be everybody knowing except, like, three people, and everybody is just keeping a secret from them. I don't know why, but it'd be funny as heck…
-
Dang, this waiting sucks.
-
I want to know where the scar came from! Noooo~w!!
-
You will love this, Paulie.
-
How'd you know? XD
It's awesome.
-
Poor Ako. Maybe she get's a Valentine's Day wish! Funny how such an event landed with the curent developments in the manga.
-
Ah, Valentine's. Never have I seen a holiday that works quite so hard to make people miserable.
Negi had better not break Ako's heart. :o
-
The ending is confirmed happy, but just in case it isn't, I'll take that Ako picture and use it for my avatar until March. :laugh:
-
I'm using it as my MSN Messenger avatar.
I'm inclined to not use it here… because I have such an awesome avatar that I made back when I joined.

Holy shit.

One would expect Negi at one point to know that was going to happen. :laugh:
-
Man..Looks like the time Paradox is messed up :lol:
Cant wait for the RAW to come out.
-
Here's another page for you lot. Chisame interferes with Ako's confession. Shan't tell ye as to why. :P
-
Fufufufu….It looks like things are going to get intresting in this chapter.
-
Man, I want the RAW! At least Aqua-Star could hold me down with a scanslation of 124…but that seems behind too. >:[

Me too….But do not despair. The RAW is out tomorrow .I cant wait. Plus, the 124 scnslation will be out surely this week.

I wonder. Akamatsu is lampooning many manga with Negima, but will he (or has he already) referenced One Piece? Of the two characters with middle initials in Negima, we have:
Takamichi T. Takahata (TTT).
Takane D. Goodman.
Oh ho ho!
-
The will of the D!

Looks like Akamatsu-sensei is borrowing a little bit of the Will of D from Oda-sensei.
What do you think of Takane?
She's one of my favorite characters. Takane does look a lot like Ayaka ecxept she has more attitude, she's a mage, and she's in High School.
Where is TTTT from?
-
The (TTT) isn't anything in particular; I was just pointing out that Takahata's middle initial's only significance is to give his pronounced name a feel of alliteration. By contrast, Takane's middle initial is an outlier; why is it that she alone out of all the characters has an initial, without it serving some sort of purpose? I cite the "D" as a possible reference, though only time will tell.
…
Takane's extremely funny. Even though the girls in Mahora don't like running around naked, only the older ones become utter wimps when they have no clothes. I like her shadow abilities, though I must ask; did Takane appear in the manga prior to the meeting at the World Tree?

Yes of course. Why do you think the Mage Teachers and Students would be on duty trying to avoid any confessions. My fave part of Takane fan-service is when that droid blew nearly all her clothes away in public. I was in total nosebleed mode at the time.
Also in 119 when both Mei and Takane where blasted :laugh: !
One question. Do you support the KonoSetsu and the Chizuru and Kotaro pairing?
Note: When In Mahora Academy, always remember, the KonoSetsu is the official pairing in the fandom.
One guy there made a Negi Setsuna pairing thread and he got banned XD!
Who's more of a looker? Takane or Ayaka
-
I don't remember much about any of the mage girls because… I don't like any of them... :o
-
Interesting thought. There was an indescriminate amount of time between Chisame's joking with Chachamaru in the Ferris Wheel and Negi waking up. I wouldn't be entirely surprised if Chisame just randoly whipped out a practio card in later chapters. Negi's reaction would be quite funny!
Methinks, though, that as of yet, his reaction to Chisame's recognition of his mage status was the best shocker so far (disregarding the classic Kyoto Nodoka confession)…but I think the revelation of Chao's relation to Negi (especially if Chao claims to be Negi's descendant, perhaps granddaughter or, gasp, daughter) would probably kill him. Hahaha! :laugh:
-
Well, pactios also need the magic circle, right?
Unless the ermine was there (and I don't remember him being,) then it's very doubtful.
-
Normally, yes, the circles are required; however, this idea of a Chisame practio got into my head when someone (somewhere…) mentioned that Negi apparently doesn't need the circles anymore to make contracts. I shall need to dig up where I read this (it's somewhere on Aqua-Star; I wasn't at Mahora at the time of reading) because it's completely and utterly unsupported, though the last practio made was waay back in volume six. Nevertheless, if Chachamaru is really Eva's "partner", there could be a possibility of her helping out Chisame form the circle. After seeing it once, wouldn't the circle be encoded in Chachamaru's memory banks?
-
But I doubt Chachamaru HAS a pactio card. I haven't seen one.
Chachamaru is a "partner" in name only. She fulfills the duty a partner does, but without the pact.
-
Eva supplies Chachamaru with the magic needed to run her basic functions. I assume this is an autonomous but simmilar to how Negi provides magic for a practio users (Asuna is most notable).
-
But that can be done without a card… especially since Chachamaru IS a robot. The main point is that Chachamaru won't have it in her memory banks if she's never seen the circle, and it's very possible she's never seen one.
-
True; whether or not Chachamaru has seen a circle is in doubt, though methinks the same circle on the practio cards is the one Chamo inscribes to initiate contracts, and she's assuredly seen those.
I should note, however, that I think some sort of Magister-Ministra bond need be formed to confer magic. I'm still a tad confused about how Negi was able to grant magic to himself back in Kyoto, but I don't think he could do the same without a practio.
…!
Huh, I just thought of something. When "Nagi" appeared through Abierto's body, he was speaking in Japanese…funny, he's an English dude. Why didn't Negi and Nagi speak in English to one another*? o_O
*Disregarding Akamatsu's desire to have his manga readible. :happy:
-
i've only read up to volume 8, i agree with teh coolness of Nagi, Negi's father. i have a feeling Nagi's done some shady stuff though with all the mystery associated with him. there will probably a showdown between the father and son as the series finale.
-
I win! I win!! The bandage has significance! Hahah!! =D
…
The RAW's about, albeit in low quality, and there's a summary. Akamatsu did give us a pretty satisfying ending; no crash 'n burn, we didn't exactly see it coming, and it looks like Ako's still infatuated with Nagi…whom.
! She still he believes exists! Negi pulled off the deception!
Now where's my gun? It's peanut butter jelly time. Dance, dance, dance… -
The RAW was actually awsome.
The ending was funny when Ako was about to confess but…She messed again :laugh: .
Looks like weare heading to Nightmare Circus!
I'm so psyched!
Zazie is finally getting her spotlight!
-
@Daisuke:
The ending was funny when Ako was about to confess but…She messed again :laugh:
Naw, I think that was intentional. Remember, 'Nagi' hasn't been revealed…the relationship could progress further, beyond just that one surreal 'midsummer's night dream' Ako just went through. Paulie should be thrilled; Akamatsu offers still more character development for her, even as this small mini-arc comes to a close. :happy:
People have compared the Ako arc to Makie; personally, though, I think the development here is not only superior, Ako is a much more loveable character than Makie. I never really liked her that much...kinda reminded me of a certain character from Green Green. >.>;
Who is next? I'm not gripping my seat in anticipation (as Akamatsu just handed us a satisfying ending to the Ako arc), but I am curious; yesh, Zazie appears to be next, but any of the girls for the third day could be on that list. Remember that Negi's schedule didn't indicate the third day entirely…there were so many faces for the second day, they spilled into Negi's box for the third.
-
Yaaaay~!! Ako-chan is the best.
But yes, Zazie will be awesome.
-
I'm hoping either Akira or Chui could be next to spend time with Negi after he's done with Zazie.
I wonder though….In the 1st chapter spread, Zazie was in there behind Eva with very sharp and long nails that make me wonder...
Maybe she's also a combat specialist...Nah, maybe just part of her circus suit...
The Zazie Ch/Chs will kick serious ass!
So, as for the rivalry for Negi's feelings, we got Nodoka, Ayaka, Makie, and Chachamaru.
To come to think, robots can fall in love. Chachamaru's feeling for Negi really do smitten me a lot. I remember in Ch 121, it really looked like she enjoyed Negi lying on her legs as a pillow...
What do you think would happen if Haruna was there when Hakase found out about Chachamaru and she actually saw the pics of Negi in her memory data like she did?
How will the rest of 3-A think of Chachamaru if they found out she can love and especially to Negi? -
For foundation, the Ako-Nagi arc is a "Reverse Cinderella Story" kind of tale.
…
Earlier, when Misora was blabbing about the powers of the World Tree (methinks she got in trouble for that...), Chachamaru and Sayo took notice. "Surpass all barriers," eh? Chachamaru can love Negi, but she can't form a healthy relationship with him (see: Chobits), but there's a third-party object that could drastically change all that.
The World Tree. It grants minor wishes, no? What if Chachamaru were to wish for something she wanted above all else. If Akamatsu put in a Cinderella story into Negima!, do you guys think it's possible Pinocchio will be referenced, also? >D
