Period Analysis: Period 7 - The Great Baka Rangers Final Exam Operation (part 1)

Published by qfori under Periods Edit This

Hello everybody!  I’m so excited to be on book 2 now!  We’re on period 7, and if you would like to read along, you can go to mangafox so you can read along!

negima volume 2 manga US cover

We start out with an opening page of a beach scene of Ayaka and Shizuna in some pretty skimpy (what else could they be?) swimsuits.

We now see Asuna, Konoka, and Negi running to class when they meet up with Makie and Ako, who somehow thought that yesterday’s dodgeball match was refreshing.  Today Negi picks Makie for translating, which for some reason or other doesn’t make ANYBODY happy.

We jump to the Deans office, where Shizuna is giving a report on Negi’s teaching, which in her opinion is quite good.  While wedging his face between her rather humongous breasts, he decides to make Negi an official teacher stating in April, as long as he can complete some unknown task.

Negi is discussing his classes horrible grades with his students when he spots a pot of flowers, which for some reason really motivates him!  While Negi is plotting a devious plan to snatch up the flowers with magic, Shizuna comes along and hands Negi a piece of paper which turns out to be Negi’s final task - making sure class 2-A doesn’t score last for the final exams.

In his next lesson, Negi starts motivating the class to study harder so that they score well on the exams.  Mei pops in with a great study idea; taking all their clothes off!  The rules are, if you miss an English question, you must remove one article of clothing.  Negi happily agrees to this contest (misunderstanding what it actually is), and the games begin.  Asuna and Makie are losing worst, eventually only wearing their bottom underwear. (Oh, Akamatsu, how you love to draw 13 year olds naked.)  And the loser is…  ASUNA!  Who would’ve guessed.

Negi realizes what’s actually going on, but for some reason or another, doesn’t seem to care much.  He’s only worried about losing his job, the selfish prat.  Once again, Negi the dumb-ass tries to solve everything with magic before asuna comes and tells him how stupid he’s being.  She shows him her improving test scores, and tells him that he’s only teaching “halfheartedly”, which really strikes a nerve.

He decides that his magic is only going to lead him to do dishonest things, therefore puts a block on all of his powers for three whole days, until the exams are over.  He winds up with three bands on his arm, each representing a day.  As each day passes, one band disappears.

Hmmm, dejavu!  Weren’t we just in this same bath scene LAST VOLUME!?!?  Konoka comes in with big (inaccurate) news.  Whichever class scores lowest in the exams will be broken up and possibly held back a grade.  The dummy force is going into hysterics when Yue gives them a solution; to go and get the book of wisdom from deep within library island!  According to Yue, whoever reads the book gets really smart.  Nobody in the class is really up for it, except Asuna, who ends up dragging the dummy force, the library expedition club, and Negi with her to library island.

While searching for the secret entrance, Negi reveals that he no longer has access to any of his powers.  Asuna is not happy.

Well, that about wraps it up for period 7, so come back on  Wednesday for part two!  You can always just subscribe to my posts on the left hand side of the page.  Thanks!
