Negima

I just recently discovererd Japanese comics or Manga, as it is called. The students where I teach turned me on to Manga and Anime. Since I have always been a comic book fan anyway, I decided to give it a try. Manga is different from American comic books, but is very entertaining in its own way. The art work is very well done. I did have to get use to reading the entire book backwards, back cover to front, upper right corner to lower left corner.

Negima is the story of a young English teacher (ten years old) teaching at an all-girl school. The story has similarities to Harry Potter in that magic is envolved. It's a great read if you have a student interested in this genre. Use the link below to visit Amazon.com to learn more or make a purchase.
