The dramas are pretty good on this CD, with Chisame's being great. The more I hear Chisame's dramas, the more I like her character. Like the previous CD, these drama CDs all happen before Negi arrives in Japan, so they serve as a prologue to the manga story.

The songs included are okay. There are only 3 of them, compared to 4 in the last CD.

The bonus DVD has footage from the second Negima event in April/May-ish. There's a lot more song and dance in this DVD than in the previous one. Akemi Kanda still can't get Asuna's character song correctly despite having almost 6 months practice since the first event. It's still a shame as that's my favorite song. The best of show in my opinion is Kaede's seiyuu singing the song from the first drama CD. It was originally a 5 vocal song as it was sung by Drops (is she in Drops? Hmm.), but she sings it alone. She does get help from backup vocals recorded along with the music, so I guess that might be cheating, but she sounds good and really pumps up the crowd. Chisame's performance is pretty good too. I'm surprised the seiyuu's vocal range despite being only like 4 some feet tall. I like the chorus of the ending credits song. Too bad it only available on the CD sold at the event. If they made it retail, they would have gotten another sale.

There's also a mini-anime episode that has Negi leaving his school in Wales and he introduces a few of his students, namely the Baka Rangers. Ryo Hirohashi has a minor part (whoot!) and Asuna's eyes are really whacked.

2. 一時間目 スラッシュ！ (First Hour, Slash!): Negi explains that before he goes to Japan, he should do some research about the country. Nekane had given him a book that explains some aspects of Japan. The first chapter explains that 4-kanji sayings are prevalent in Japan and gives an exmple, 疑心暗鬼 (suspicions creates more suspicions). It then flashes Mahora School where it's early in the morning and Mana and Setsuna are chasing after the panty thief (extension from the Martial Arts single) and Ako believes she has seen someone standing atop a tree outside her room. She asks around the people who are up early, include Makie who has practice, Yuna is exercising. Ako wanders outside and gets a surprise from Setsuna who almost attacks her thinking she's the thief. Setsuna apologizes and leaves, but Ako is curious and follows them and but gets caught and gets slashed by Setsuna's katana. She then wakes up and Makie tells her that she's been sleeping with a bad dream.

3. 二時間目 マジカル・ミートマン (Second Hour, Magical Meat Dumpling): The next chapter explains the Japanese use many more complex proverbs and that one should memorize a few. The example is 食多ければ病多し (much food, much pain). At Mahora, the Chao and Satsuki are selling their dumplings. At first, Chisame in her usual arrogant tone doesn't understand why they're allowed to do business at school. However, when they announce that they've created special dumplings that enhances a girl's appearance, Chisame buys up 20 of them (to the surprise of the sellers). She goes home and snarfs all of them down and then poses in front of the web camera for her web page. At first, she feels that her breasts have become larger, but she then she collapses in pain as her stomach expands. She gets taken out on a stretcher and the other students comment on how pretty this unknown student is.

5. 三時間目 燃えろ！ダンクショット！ (Third Hour, Burn It Up! Dunk Shot!): Third chapter tells Negi that the Japanese value cooperation. Kufei explains to Chao that she's eaten a bit too many dumplings. Yuna scolds her teammates for eating too many dumplings and won't be able to play in the game tomorrow. To fill the positions, Yuna recruits Makie, Akira, Chao, and Kufei to play despite the fact that they don't know a thing about basketball. Their opponents play dirty during the first half and injure Makie. However, they make a comeback in the second half to win the game. Negi hopes that his students will cooperate, but then the scene changes to where Setsuna and Mana (I think) are arguing.

6.　四時間目 女生徒は見た！ (Fourth Hour, I Saw the Female Students!): The last chapter teaches Negi that the Japanese are intellectual and handy with machines. Hakase has just created a robot that she thinks will be helpful to the students. Meanwhile, the athletes from the previous track are enjoying the springs inside the dorms. Mana and Setsuna are still on the prowl for the thief. In the bath, the girls observe that Makie has gotten a little more chubby. Hakase appears and debuts her robot which is used to control a person's weight. Like with any machine, it goes wild. Setsuna hears some girls screaming and shows up, but gets caught up in the action. Kaede then shows up trying to help, but gets scared off by the frog there. Back to Negi, he wonders what kind of students he'll have.
