NEGIMA

VAMPIRES, ROBOTS, SORCERY... AND THAT’S ALL BEFORE GYM! NEGIMA COMES TO DVD IN NOVEMBER.

MELBOURNE, Thursday, 12 October, 2006 – Magic has mishaps... add girls and it's mayhem! Specialising in wind-based spells and light magic, wizard-in-training and Harry Potter look-alike, Negi Springfield is only 10 years old (9½ actually!), but he also happens to be the newest English teacher at the all-girl Mahora Academy. Besides keeping his secret under wraps and dealing with the fact that he’s way younger than his students, Negi spends most of his time trying to gain acceptance from his class of 31 rambunctious girls!

Negima is the fun-filled new comedy from Ken Akamatsu, creator of Love Hina and is one of ICv2's Top 10 manga properties for 2005 - with over 1 million copies sold in the USA. Fans of Love Hina, Fruits Basket, Maburaho and Azumanga Daioh will love this hilarious new series.

Negima Volume 1 is also available to purchase with a limited edition collector’s box to store all upcoming volumes of the series.
