About Negima
Negima follows ten-year-old mage Negi Springfield as he teaches class 3-A at Mahora Academy while hunting for traces of his missing father. Ken Akamatsu's manga was adapted into two contradictory TV series plus faithful late OVAs, with UQ Holder! continuing the same world decades later.
Good to know
Negima!? is an alternate retelling of the same setup, not a sequel, so the continuity-split orders below are the ones that avoid whiplash. The Ala Alba and Another World OVAs follow the manga instead and lead directly into the Anime Final film.
