'Our Magic is not omnipotent... a little bit of courage is the real magic.'

Ten-year-old Negi Springfield has just graduated from a magic academy in Wales, and finds that his assignment for earning his full magic license is a job as a teacher — in a private all-girls school in Japan. Worse than that, though, is that it's a junior high class — most of the girls are four or five years older than him, and almost all of them think he's the cutest thing since Hello Kitty.
Earning his license by getting through a semester or two of teaching his hyperactive and over-affectionate students is only one of Negi's goals, though. He's also looking for his long-absent father — Nagi Springfield, the mysterious 'Thousand Master' who appeared once, gave Negi his staff, and then vanished again. The Thousand Master is said to be dead, but Negi isn't so sure. The fact that one of the girls in his class is secretly an old enemy of his father's and still holds a grudge doesn't help, either.

And life doesn't get any easier. Although he's supposed to keep his magic secret, he's having control problems, and blows his cover in front of some of the girls almost immediately. Also, he can't get properly licensed until he finds a partner. His style of magic requires a 'defender' who handles physical threats while he casts his spells; the contract between mage and partner is sealed with a kiss and empowers the partner to near-superhuman levels. It soon becomes obvious that, by the sheerest coincidence, almost all of Negi's students are excellent candidates for partnership. And the school itself isn't quite as 'normal' as it appears at first glance.
Then a mysterious, white-haired boy by the name of Fate Averruncus, leader of Cosmo Entelecheia, attacks, and the storytakes a serious turn from there.

Created by Ken Akamatsu, this series has been summed up (with hotly-contested accuracy) as 'Harry PottermeetsLove HinaandDragon Ball'. Rumor has it that when planning out Negima!, Akamatsu wanted to do a ShōnenFighting Series. However, his publisher (wanting to cash in on the success of Love Hina, Akamatsu's previous work) insisted on another romantic harem comedy. So, Akamatsu created a fighting story that looked superficially like a harem comedy. The story has since changed into a action comedy/drama with a huge cast (30+ 'regulars') and an expanding Back Story.
Negi and friends appear in the Massive Multiplayer Crossover game released in 2009, Sunday VS Magazine: Shuuketsu! Choujou Daikessen.
As of March 2012, the Mahou Sensei Negima! manga ended at 355 installments and 38 published tankoubon volumes. A Stealth Sequel, UQ Holder!, started publication in August 2013.

A quick review: Mahou Sensei Negima! is the original manga, Negima! is the first anime, Negima!? is the second anime, Negima!? neo is a hybrid manga from the original manga and the second anime, and the newest OVAs start with Mahou Sensei Negima! in the title. When you get confused, just come back up here to check.While this entry was originally written for Negima!, be aware that the trope listings linked below now include many entries that are specific to one or more of the various adaptations. Over time, the franchise has become much more Trope Overdosed than aforementioned series, and at this point, most of the tropes that place it as being Overdosed come from Mahou Sensei Negima! due to sheer length if nothing else
This show provides examples of:
Mahou Sensei Negima
Fuka bluntly does this on Fumika's behalf, much to the latter's embarrassment.

Bear in mind that I only have 3 days of experience with IRC, so this will not be the best guide you can find.
Anyways, if you can get to the #Meow channel on the Firewirez server with MIRC (at least, that's what I used), you are half way there; from then on, typing '!list' will show you all the people running file servers. All the '/ctcp...' commands in the stuff that comes up tells you how to get into the file servers. Type the commands and you will be asked if you want to join a chat. Choose 'Accept'.
From then on, if you remember commands from MS-DOS, you should be fine. The intro to each file server will usually tell you what special commands are specific to that particular fserve. You will probably use the following (none of these require command characters, so don't put '/' or other characters in front of the actual command):
dir - shows you the contents of the directory you are in cd [directory name] - changes your current directory to the directory specified cd.. - *fairly important* moves you back up one level in the directory tree. I can't believe none of the guides mention this essential little command get [file name] - queues the file that you found using dir, you will now be put on a waiting list, and will be prompted to accept a file transfer when you number comes up sends - gives information on the file(s) being sent right now. Will sometimes tell you the percentage done and remaining time left. This will save you from sitting in front of the PC waiting for that file transfer prompt queues - gives information on all the files currently queued. Looking at the file size will again help you estimate when you should get back and wait for the prompt
*Important* From the various guides I've read, it is a VERY bad idea to set your computer to auto-accept file transfers, however convenient. You have been warned :)
Hopefully, this will help everyone (myself included, at least until a few nights ago) who has spent untold hours combing the net for missing chapters and begging people to hook them up. Again, I am still a newb when it comes to IRC, so any additions/corrections would be appreciated.
