So, I've found myself killing time at Border's and Barnes & Noble lately. And in order to pass the time, I've been reading some of their manga titles.

And out of curiousity, I picked up Negima. Wow. Ken might have some issues.

Love Hina is clearly an excellent example of the harem genre. Negima is another harem title, but only more. Not better, just... more. Instead of the 7 girls of Love Hina, there are 31. 31 junior high students in varying states of undress. Since Negima doesn't take place at a hot spring, Ken instead has our hero blow girls clothes off when he sneezes.

Did I mention they were all in junior high? And our protaganist is even younger, 10 years old.

Does this seem creepy to anyone else?

I've seen some of the anime, and I would agree.

Remember, his favorite LH character was Shinobu. That has to tell you a lot...

Hrmmm.... should I be disturbed that the current advert up above is for Negima: "Thirty one girls...Enough said."? Would adding the info that they were 31 jr. high girls make it a stronger advertisement....?

In Japan, yes. ;D

In the US, how knows.
