Mahou Sensei Negima

Sorry about that. I didn't think that the Pactio speculation was really all that spoileriffic, considering that it's been discussed quite a lot already.

When it's almost certainly based on the spoiler pics (i.e. the pics confirmed a long-running speculation), then yes they are spoilerific. I'd like to have my Wild Mass Guessing be proven or discredited on my own terms (i.e. from reading a complete scanlated chapter), thank you very much.

Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.

You're overestimating the spoiler pics. No pactio-ness is actually shown, there's just a few pages where they might be discussing them.

"Canada Day is over, and now begins the endless dark of the Canada Night."

Yeah, that's why I asked about it; I didn't think that I had mentioned anything that hadn't already been mentioned before the spoiler pics came out. Better safe than sorry, I guess.

Adventurer!Nodoka is second best Nodoka.

Badass!Nodoka is best Nodoka. I have spoken.

Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.

Seconded on Badass!Nodoka - its pretty satisfying to see a former Shrinking Violet become so awesome, even with an ability that seems like it would be more of a non-combat use.

Which reminds me, Hey Naruto, remember Hinata? *grumble*

I Third Badass!Nodoka. Yay for Character Development! It's just nice to see a Shrinking Violet actually be an active part of the plot without completely rewriting the character.

The big battle harem pic has Yuna with the festival arc guns.... and they are talking about pactios..... I smell that's going to be her artifact and massive shoutout to Final Fantasy X-2 although new guns should work on humans unlike the festival arc stuff

EDIT: would the guns used in the festival arc work on the "illusions" in the magic world? because Yuna has been seen with those guns after the festival ended (the get the badges chapters for one)

^ I think they said that the tournament guns were designed to work against Dolls, like Chacha-Zero - actually, specifically Chacha-Zero because they were designed to deal with Evangeline's Doll army back in the day. So I don't think they'd work on magical world folk. They were locked in storage for years because they weren't useful anymore, after all.

the pronoun system in Cherokee is just better. Need Scion GM.

My guess is that If Yuuna does get a magic gun for her artifact, it will be because of the whole "self image" aspect. And will probably be much more powerful. Maybe the Super Prototype gun that the Mahorafest guns were created from.

Or a German MG. Yes, I watched Negima!?

Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar who could drink you under the table~

well since Negi is antique gun nut he probably already has knowledge of something and the pactio bases itself on that or something

Second chapter of Haruna's Most Ero-Ero Adventure is up. Comments welcome.

Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.

Just looked at the spoiler pics, and noted that Eva is hiding over on the left of the harem shot.

Yu hav nat sein bod speeling unntil know. (cacke four undersandig tis)the cake is a lie!

I'm assuming you're talking about this group shot◊. I don't see her anywhere in it. The characters that I can recognize (it's too blurry to be entirely sure) are as follows:

On the ground, from left to right: Makie*  ^*

? Yuuna, Luna, Negi, Chamo, Nodoka, Yue, Asuna, Chisame  ^*

^{again, cut off, but that wing looks like part of her cosplay costume, and that floating thing looks like one of her electric mouse spirit things.}

On the bottom part of the Paru-Sama and background, from left to right: Setsuna, Konoka, Haruna  ^*

?, Akira  ^*

^{judging by the hair}

?, and Ako  ^*

^{process of elimination}

.

On the top of the Paru-Sama; left to right: Chachamaru, Misora, Cocone, Natsumi, Kotarou, Kaede, Sayo, Ku Fei, Asakura, and Mana.

I could be wrong, but I didn't see Eva anywhere.

@Ack Sed: That was...quite disturbing. In a good way. It's not far along enough for me to make any comments on the plot itself, but so far it's working alright. My only advice at this point is to try to stick with using the Negima characters for her "shows", or at least try to include them in all of the "scenes". Cthulu X Nyarlathotep is funny on it's own, but I think it would be better to keep the beings mostly within the confines of Negima's story. Stuff like Cthulu X (Negima character) would be perfectly in Haruna's character of exploiting her classmates.

Oh, and if that "Yeah, Ryleh" joke was intentional, it was the most forced, yet hilarious pun I've heard all day. Although you may have spelled it wrong.

And at some point one of Haruna's shows had better involve a large number of spring onions. (see the lower left panel)

Oops. Let me hold my hands up... ya, meant right not left. O_O;;

There is a little devil wing in the background... wait, that would be Chisame not Eva... my brain must be set on a low gear today.

Yu hav nat sein bod speeling unntil know. (cacke four undersandig tis)the cake is a lie!

Thank you,thank you. I'll be here all week. Please,try the squid.

Once it popped into my head,I couldn't refuse it. I was going by Wikipedia's spelling,so yeah.

@JT: Good suggestions there!

@Ack Sed: Nice and funny chapter. What untold horrors await Haruna, and what even worse horrors await her customers?

"And as long as a sack of shit is not a good thing to be, chivalry will never die."

For Haruna,the reality of her situation. For her customers? Promotions.

This is just begging for Haruna to utterly fail her first attempt because she forgets that her "customers" want to be pleased, not mentally scarred.

I can see it now:

She goes into town ready to do her worst, and gets run out by a mob in short order for terrifying everyone. Back at her camp: "Okay, time for Plan B."

Only with more words.

EDIT: I'm not sure what PROMOTIONS could possibly mean in that context, and I'm not sure that I want to.

I go by 1d4chan's definition: People getting fired for viewing NSFW contents and other people being promoted in their place.

Does this mean that Haruna's clients will be disgusted from this kind of contents, and thus never indulge in it again and not get caught?

"And as long as a sack of shit is not a good thing to be, chivalry will never die."

Heh,I was just being euphemistic.

Dang. If it wasn't for Chisame, we would of had a massive Dude, he's like in a coma, pactio session/five-way. Though it looks like we may still have Ako pull one while the other three are away...

the pronoun system in Cherokee is just better. Need Scion GM.

Chapter 286 is up.

It certainly appears that a pactio is imminent. The only real question is whether or not Ako is going to use that pill on him first. Also quite interesting how the girls seem to be able to counteract the Magia Erebea transformation.
