Attn: Negima fans

Possibly, there was a special offer form in the last manga, so some of the people who filled them out could have recieved it by now.

Well, it's official, every girl in Class 3-A knows about magic.

I gotta tell ya, this anime, it's just getting so amazing.

I have been in this anime since the very first chapter's debut in 2003, and seeing this newest chapter here and now, 8 years later, I feel touched.

awesome chapters for the past few weeks! =D I love where the direction is going now. (cuz its going well)

and... =D=D=D

Grah! Why must you always temp me!

But honestly, I cannot wait to see how this turns out over the next few months.
We've got the movie (which I will buy on Blu-Ray as soon as it's available) and the new volume (which I already have pre-ordered) this month.
Also, everything going on in the chapters, all the girls learning about magic, all the teachers and principles showing up to kick ass.

But, I'm also worried about how this current battle with the life maker is gonna end up.
You know they're in danger when Evangeline is sweating and nervous.

Alrighty, issue 35 JUST came in the mail.

First things first, cover is great.
Love how their giving a shout out to the girls who've been MIA by not being in the magical world.

Second, the movie's website was right, the pactio card IS Ayaka.
Which is strange, because she doesn't have one in the manga yet, and they already released in a music CD years ago.
But, this one, unlike the music CD one, is the exact replica, not the smaller version.
Checking the back, the pactio is with Negi. I had some thought that maybe Ayaka would make one with Asuna, not sure why, but I had a hunch.
The design is the same one used in the first season of the show, so maybe he's going to make one with her officially soon.

Third, the back.
Every Negmia issue since the first has had one of the characters on the back.
Issues 1-32 evenly distributed the girls of class 3-A and Negi.
The previous two issues included Fate and Kotaro.
This issue however, features Yue's class' Class Rep from the magical world.

Lastly, the DVD.
The DVD is a special Negima Extra, where various voice actresses from the show sit around, and talk about the manga, such as the series history.
They're all playing in a Negima themed room full of books and posters.
They also have a bunch of plushies of the Suka forms of characters, and after seeing them, I REALLY want the Suka Konoka and Suka Asuna plushies!
They're also playing clips from the show and select exerpts from some of their concerts.

Issue 36 I am aware is going to come with another pactio card, as usual, and another DVD, similar to this one, with the cast talking about the manga and many more clips.

Hey cool, I have yet to grab my copy. (Gonna do today)
What Pactio Card is next then? Luna? That'd be nice. Unless they start tapping at the other designs which are out... But those pactios aren't made yet like Hakase's, Evangeline's, Fuuka + Fumika and Sakurako's

Well, I just began reading the new chapter, so the new pactio COULD be Chizuru.
They just began the newarc, and I can tell they're probably going to be cutting some of the girls from the story.
It seems however, that in whatever Negi is doing to save the world, he will be working quite closely with Asuna, Ayaka, and Chizuru.
Asuna because of her royal status, and Ayaka and Chizuru because of their wealth.
This could lead to the official pactio of Ayaka and Chizuru, and I would love to have an interesting pactio of Chizuru, and finally finding out what exactly Ayaka's artifact and power is, hehe.

Also, it seems Negi's love interests seem to be getting more aggressive.
Nodoka still wants Yue to confess, Makie is definitly getting more agressive, and Natsume is getting all caught up in it.
And, is Fate gay? I mean, they're all talking about getting to Negi, and Fate comes in and says "He's mine."
Now, this can be taken a few ways, but the way he worded it, and the context it was said in, it does sound like Fate is after Negi as well.
Personally, I find this absolutely adorable if Fate fell for Negi, lol.

Anyways, I just can't wait to see where this new story arc takes us!

Well I'm happy that at the very least, there is a new arc and the manga series is continuing.
Indeed intriguing about this save the world thing. Quite a sudden shift actually...
A Chizuru Pactio... I wonder what power she will have, as well as Ayaka which I can't imagine what hers is

It's been confirmed!

Along with issue 36 and a DVD, the new Negima box set will contain a pactio card of...

Evangeline A.K. McDowell

Another pactio card not yet made in the manga, but a cool looking one nonetheless.
The DVD also appears to be some sort of documenting DVD about the series.

Still waiting for the movie to appear online though.

Chizu-Nee got a pactio too X3

I wonder what her pactio does.
It's different from the one that gave her star power in the first season of the show.

The thing that scares me, it she's brandishing a leek...
If we can all remember what she tried to do with a leek once...

Yea I did remember that one... dont think that is it lol.

Oh btw have you seen the negima book 0? Interesting stuff inside it. Like a short 2 panel story of Haruna right after the separation in Mundus Magicus.
Also... a few more pactio designs. Interesting cuz this came before the recent revealing of Chizuru's pactio reveal and the design is the same. (Which means...?)

Actually now I got a feeling that everyone in the class has a pactio 0.0
Chao, Mana, Misa, Madoka, Akira, Sayo, Satsuki, Chizuru and Zazie have all been revealed to have pactio designs.
Other than that, Sakurako, Satomi, Fuuka, Fumika and Eva all have official pactios too.
This proves to be very interesting... (laughs)

Actually, I haven't been able to find that book.
My usual locations don't seem to have it.

You got a link you can send me to where you got it?

I got that using japonicamarket.com, so I could get it from yahoo auctions. got it early once it started appearing though... not sure if its getting more competitive to get it now
