Negima! Magister Negi Magi, Vol. 1 by Ken Akamatsu

3.0

A fun, silly story about a 10-year-old genius who also happens to be a wizard. He is assigned a job teaching English at an all-girl Japanese junior high school. Contrived situations lead to slapstick, fan-service, and comedy. There are 31 students in Magister Negi's class and creator Ken Akamatsu does an admirable job of keeping them all distinct and interesting. At the end of volume one, Negi still doesn't have full control of his class; I look forward to subsequent volumes to see how Negi matures as a teacher and to witness more of his wacky interactions with his students and the school faculty.
