_Mahou Sensei Negima!_ is a manga by Akamatsu Ken which has had an anime and
live action adaptation of the same name.

There is also another manga called _Negima!? Neo_ by Fujima Takuya which was
made into an anime titled _Negima!?_.
[Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negima!? "Wikipedia article for
Negima!? Neo") says that Fujima is the author and Akamatsu merely provided
guidance. [MAL](http://myanimelist.net/manga/597/Negima!_Neo "MAL page for
Negima!? Neo"), however, credits Akamatsu as a story author (along with
Fujima).

Is there any official statement on Akamatsu's role in _Negima!? Neo_?

I mostly want to know if he played a major role in its creation or just
basically made sure Fujima didn't completely ruin his series and/or its'
reputation.

question
mangaka negima ken-akamatsu
What was Akamatsu Ken's role in creating Negima!? Neo?


I'd say that the info on [MAL's
page](http://myanimelist.net/manga/597/Negima!_Neo) would be the accurate one.  
You can see in [Amazon's page for the first volume of Negima!?
Neo](http://www.amazon.co.uk/Negima-Neo-Magister-Negi-
Magi/dp/0345509986/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1358091160&sr=1-2), that
both the information on the authors (right under the title) and the cover
state that **the story is by Akamatsu Ken** and that **Fujima Takuya is the
illustrator**.

Also, [Amazon.co.jp's page on
Negima!?Neo](http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%83%8D%E3%82%AE%E3%81%BE-1~%E6%9C%80%E6%96%B0%E5%B7%BB-%E8%AC%9B%E8%AB%87%E7%A4%BE%E3%82%B3%E3%83%9F%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF%E3%82%B9%E3%83%9C%E3%83%B3%E3%83%9C%E3%83%B3-%E3%83%9E%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B1%E3%83%83%E3%83%88%E3%83%97%E3%83%AC%E3%82%A4%E3%82%B9-%E3%82%B3%E3%83%9F%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF%E3%82%BB%E3%83%83%E3%83%88/dp/B002DEL212/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1358091801&sr=8-3)
too states **Akamatsu Ken as the author** ([赤松
健](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Akamatsu) appears under the title followed
by the kanji [著, which means
author](http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E8%91%97#Japanese)).
