Negima Timeline: Help Wanted (Massive Spoilers, yo)
Negima Timeline: Help Wanted (Massive Spoilers, yo)
#1
Doing another reread of the entire manga, and I got to trying to figure out what happened when, especially in the Days of Yore.

ETA: Starting another sweep, beginning mark II. As before, any contributions would be appreciated.

The Diarium Ejis is turning out to be a lifesaver here. Thanks, Nodoka-chan! Smile

Evangeline's second middle name is given as "Ekatarina" on the mockup pactio card they did for her near the beginning of the series.
"Kitty" appears to be Albireo's teasing nickname for her.

I completely skipped your whole post without reading it, but at what volume of the manga are you basing this off of? I'm only reading the American release,
and want to know if you're going off the scantilations...
There is no coincidence, only necessity....

Bob: on the other hand, her middle initials are consistently given as A.K. I go back and forth on what her name is really supposed to be.

Crimson: Yeah, there's king hell spoilers here if you're only going by the Del Rey release.

True enough -- the latinization of names on the pactio cards is sometimes quite odd.  I suspect that the K indicates "Ekatarina" is probably "Katarina" or maybe even "Katherine".
