Has anyone closely followed the lore of Negima?

Ken Akamatsu hasn't been clear about the Mars destruction plot. Let's figure out what exactly the deal is.

So, according Fate's team, in approximately 9 years, the geography of Mars will be devastated. What's the cause?

After Mars 'collapses', it leads to the tragic future that Chao tried to prevent, whereby survivors of Mars wage war against Earth for over a century.

In order to prevent this, Negi will terraform Mars. How does this prevent Mars from collapsing? From what Ken Akamatsu has shown us, it seems the collapse is caused by a meteor strike.

Negi also expects terraforming to take over 100 years. How is this fast enough for the 'collapse' of Mars, which will occur in 9 years from the present?

Also, about Chao's plan... How does revealing the existence of magic to everyone on Earth prevent the geography of Mars from being devastated?

I understand some of the plot points may be withheld by Ken Akamatsu intentionally, but let's make guesses!

30 years. Correcting myself.

I also vaguely remember the cause of Mars's collapse being attributed to magic running out, instead of a meteor, but I can't be sure. Does anyone recall?

Given that Akamatsu's pretty heavily emphasized that Negi's too young to actually be interested in romance, and hasn't even actually figured out what love is, i'm expecting a no pairings ending. That said, puberty's going to be hell for the poor guy.

I guess the manga will end with a hundred years having passed, and Asuna waking up to have Negi confess his love for her.

Also calling a deus ex machina where Negi uses an artifact to keep everyone from class 3-A alive for the reunion.

Yeah no you know what? That was terrible. It feels like there was an entire arc cut out, and you don't set up a lottery for 9 fucking years and not announce the winner. This feels like one of those where a shitload of stuff gets added to the tank release because the magazine version was straight up unfinished.

>> No. 73159
Apparently there is some reason behind why Negima ended: Akamatsu ended his exclusivity contract with Kodansha over a very serious issue. Kodansha along with several other publishers is backing a law that, if passed, will allow publishing companies and not the authors to control rights for a series along with the author. The issue is, the publisher is able to freely shut down any fan work or derivative work (doujinshi or fan art on websites like Pixiv) without contacting the author first.

There's an article on it here that details some more of it. It could potentially be a destructive thing for the manga industry in Japan.
