Has anyone here seen this new series? I've seen a trailer for it recently and it looks absolutely amazing. It's another work by Ken Akamatsu of Love Hina and Mao-chan fame. I've seen the manga, which is already in stores and is sold by Del Rey and it has a 16+ sticker on it.

It's basically a Harry Potter ripoff with loads of kawaii fan service, but I want to know if it's any good and if anyone is licensing it any time soon.

I must say, the school uniforms are the best non-sailor fuku uniforms I've ever seen in an anime.

Same with me ....

I think the series is really a mix of Harry Potter and Love Hina. In my opinion the first manga had a rather poor story, but I think this could change when the series goes on.
Well some say there cant be to much fan service, but thats another topic

I feel like a pedophile when I read Negima. Fan service from hot middle school girls in schoolgirl outfits...

'Harem Potter' is how I've heard it described. There's plenty of character goods coming out for it here, I imagine the show's gonna end up taking up a whole rack over at Animate. I may, may watch the first ep when it airs, just to see if it's worth sticking with...

They have small racks too, the only good parts are when they flash their skirts up, like the twister part "giggle..........what am I saying!

I go to Catholic school, and the only time I read the manga is when a classmate lends it to me. And since she expects it back by the end of the day, I wind up reading it in class. And it feels SO wrong.

Regardless...I will be checking the anime out.

The fact that it's fanservice involving high schools girl is one of the main selling points of the manga. How else could I wack to it?

BLASPHEMY!!

How dare you downtalk Akamatsu's work!

It only has one reference to Harry Potter and it says

No Quidditch jokes, okay?

Having another book about a child mage is not the same as a clone.

But.. you are free to give your own oppinion, so, sorry I said anything bad...
