Book Description
When a kiss is not just a kiss!
Product Description
When ten-year-old prodigy Negi Springfield graduated from university with a degree in magic, he never imagined he would soon be teaching English to a bevy of gorgeous high school girls. Now Negi's old friend Chamo, a lecherous weasel from Wales, and student Asakura have arranged a competition among the girls to see which of the lovely students will be the first to kiss the teacher! Sure, a kiss will strengthen Negi's magical abilities, but doesn't this contest just support Chamo's voyeuristic proclivities? On the other hand, Negi needs all the help he can get when the magical creatures of western Japan strike back!

Field trips are almost never so much fun -- or so dangerous. Negi Springfield makes some new enemies in the fifth volume of "Negima: Magister Negi Magi," a volume almost evenly split between romantic hijinks and lethal magical battles. Keep it up, Ken Akamatsu.
"Paparazzi chick" Asakura has found out about Negi's magical abilities, and has teamed up with pervy ermine Chamo to exploit them. She arranges a "kiss Negi" competition among the girls, in order to get him more probationary partners. Problem is, Negi has botched a doppelganger spell, and now there are five half-witted Negi clones wandering around the building. Will anyone kiss the real Negi?
Meek Nodoka comes out of the deal with a magical card, which transforms into a mind-reading book. Meanwhile, Asuna and Negi prepare to deal with a thuggish band of eastern wizards. Unfortunately, they end up trapped in a bamboo forest with one of them: Kotaro Inugami, a lethal dog-boy. And finally, a strange girl with a crush on Setsuna challenges her to combat...
The fifth volume of "Negima" is probably the first one where we see a completely equal balance of fights and comedic problems -- one is fight-based, one is comic, and the third is both. This is probably the best balance that Ken Akamatsu has, and he does a pretty good job.
The story is still littered with underwear shots, crushes on a preteen, and the might-be-might-be-not interpretations of Setsuna and Konoka's relationship. And the humour is getting even funnier, with the exploding Negi duplicates causing mass confusion. But the magical duels are becoming more complex, and the enemies are getting a lot more lethal -- Kotaro is perhaps even worse an enemy for Negi than Evangeline the vampire was.
More and more girls have found out Negi's secret, and with the addition of Nodoka as a second probationary partner (nobody permanent yet), there's a bit more romantic tension. Negi himself undergoes a bit of growth, as he talks about his determination to become more powerful, and Asuna finally admits that she could "never hate anyone who gave his all." Although it's anyone's guess who she hasn't made Chamo into ermine mittens yet.
More probationary contracts, magical enemies and funny competitions are the backbone of the fifth "Negima" volume. It started off weakly, but keeps getting better.
