She ends up at an all-girls magical Knights school, a kind of Hogwarts for girls with non-stop panty shots. In this instance, she’s been separated from all her classmates and Negi and lost her memories. Yue has never been one of my tip-top favorites in this series, but I like her just fine – and she’s a worthy enough subject for a pleasant detour from the main storyline. It’s the same winning combo of Akamatsu’s lovely character designs, shameless fan service and Shinbo’s quirky visuals and stellar action sequences. Well, Shinbo and his acolytes and SHAFT have more or less done that with this OAV run, and the “Magical Girl Yue” extra chapter is no exception. Why, oh why, couldn’t anyone just adapt this hugely successful manga more or less faithfully? The problems with the first series were well-documented (great OP notwithstanding) and the second SHAFT series never lived up to its magnificently stylish beginnings. The “Journey to the Magical World” OVA set has been my favorite adaptation of the Negima manga, by far.
