Author Biography

Negima! is only Ken Akamatsu's third manga, although he started working in the field in 1994 with AI Ga Tomaranai. Like all of Akamatsu's work to date, it was published in Kodansha's Shonen Magazine. AI Ga Tomaranai ran for five years before concluding in 1999. In 1998, however, Akamatsu began the work that would make him one of the most popular manga artists in Japan: Love Hina. Love Hina ran for four years, and before its conclusion in 2002, it would cause Akamatsu to be granted the prestigious Manga of the Year award from Kodansha, as well as going on to become one of the best-selling manga in the United States.
