History of Pactio Cards Part 5: Who cares! They're still cool!

In this chapter of Pactio Card history we're going to discuss cards that are NOT Pactio Cards.

At around 2006, an official series of character encyclopedias were released, discussing everything about that particular character. It was loaded with inside info that would be every fan boy's wet dream...mine too if there had been any translation, but at least we had pictures to go by.

Thing is, each book came with its own card, which I call a NegiPa Card. No it isn't featured in NegiMA, nor does it actually do anything, but it is extra artwork by Akamatsu himself and thus is given extra coolness in that regard. Behold, the Pa Cards!



It's all basic stuff. You're given a name in English, the horoscope (for some reason Negi's birthday is never revealed nor is Sayo's or Evangeline's) a PA number and a roman numeral. Not much but it's a collector's item. Nothing more.

Next time, I'll show you how other series manhandle the Pactio Card system.

  1. These ones are actually pretty cool, and even if you can't read them, getting the Neipas is worth because of the coloured manga panels that are in them.

  2. Asuna Yue Nodoka Setsuna Konoka Asakura Ayaka Sayo and Negi are the best character ever
