About the author
Ken Akamatsu
641 books231 followersKen Akamatsu (赤松 健, Akamatsu Ken, July 5, 1968 -) is a Japanese mangaka from Tokyo.
In his teenage years, Akamatsu failed the entrance exam to Tokyo University, and applied for Film Study instead (it is speculated that this is where he got the idea for Love Hina). Eventually, he became famous as an illustrator featured in Comiket (short for Comic Market, a comic convention bi-annually held in Japan). He used the pen name Awa Mizuno (水野 亜和, MIZUNO Awa). Akamatsu, still in college, then proceeded to win the Weekly Shonen Magazine award twice. His "A Kid's Game for One Summer" was awarded the coveted 50th Shonen Magazine Newcomer's Award soon after he graduated.
After a big hit with A.I. Love You, he finally made a grand success with his new manga, Love Hina. The series appeared in Weekly Shonen Magazine and has been collected in eleven volumes (with fourteen volumes in total), which have sold over 6 million copies in Japan, and received the Kodansha Manga Award for shōnen in 2001.
Akamatsu had added elements of his own life experiences to the story, and this was said to have induced a unique feeling to the manga especially for Western readers, whose lack of familiarity with Japanese culture for the most part added to the effect. The series, published in America in 2002, was especially well received in many overseas countries - Akamatsu was surprised that even foreign readers found Love Hina to be "cute" and to their liking.
He is now married to his wife 'Kanon' Akamatsu, who was previously a singer/idol. He is currently working on his latest manga series, Negima!: Magister Negi Magi, which is his longest running manga so far. Like Love Hina, has also been made into an anime series. A second independent retelling of Negima was made called Negima!?. Both series were produced by XEBEC (Negima!? was produced by SHAFT).

Traps and Revelations
Having just stopped a major loss of life the team is quickly in pursuit of another major threat but things are not always what they seem as once reliable methods are suddenly sabotaged and sacrifices must be made. Then with Chachazero brought back to UQ HQ Yukihime discovers some of her old memories once more and we get a chance to see the fate of Negi's friends after they tried to stop Nagi Ialda for the last time. This book contains a wide range of emotions flexing between sad and happy moments with in my opinion the back and forth of Yukihime and Chachazero being some of the more amusing points of the story. However as we are presently looking into the past of the time line that did not have a happy ending seen by Tota and his friends the book is not giving us a real cheerful finish as we continue to see the aftermath of one of the most important fights in Negi's life.

I like the cover; it reminds me of "The Legend of Zelda." The star deduction is because there was too much Negima in this volume.
