Ken Akamatsu’s magical love comedy Mahou Sensei Negima has finally drawn to a close after a 9-year run, sparking a none-too-kind reaction from fans disappointed at a harem manga ending without clearing up its major plot device…

Without going into detailed analysis of the story, many fans seem to be disappointed at such a long-running title managing to skimp on both harem and battle conclusions:

“Give us some more detailed conclusions already!”

“Come on, it’s hardly a complete ending with so many loose ends left like this.”

“Frankly, with all those unresolved subplots it looks like he might restart with a new series.”

“Incomplete battles and incomplete romances, Akamatsu is finished!”

“Well, it was good while it lasted.”

“This is acclaimed as a love comedy, but I can only see a love comedy with 30 heroines as a failure. He messed up.”

“So who did Negi end up with in the end?”

“If you read the whole thing you’ll see, but it isn’t really settled – just that Madoka and Yue are dropped.”

“There’s too much ambiguous stuff in this damn ending!”

“What the hell is with an ending which doesn’t even clear up who he ends up with…”

Japanese men and women quizzed about the top reasons their amorous relationships are cut short supply a ranking which may just be very handy – for those Japanese who are lucky enough to be able to get themselves into a relationship in the first place, at any rate…

The ranking:

1. You’re too restricting

2. You cool off quickly if they differ from your ideals

3. You try to push your values on them

4. You concentrate too much on trivialities

5. You don’t listen to your partner

6. You soon tire of their personality

7. You are always negative in your appraisals of them

8. Your emotional ups-and-downs are extreme

9. You express your gratitude and favour to them ineptly

10. You date them despite not actually liking them

Less cited reasons included “feigning friendliness,” “being too absorbed in your hobbies,” and of course “not calling,” “not spending enough time together” and “spending all your time with your same-sex friends.”

Not content with adorning their cars to at times absurd extremes, otaku have even turned to the rather more practical expedient of emblazoning their favourite characters on their skis and snowboards for some suitably “painful” down-slope action.

From the recent “2.5th” “Ita-board Off in Tsugaike,” a ski-centric “off-kai” (offline gathering) in which “over 80″ otaku gathered to show off 150 finely adorned snowboards and skis:
