Nerima Magistra Nelly Magi

Nerima: Magistra Nelly Magi is a Mahou Sensei Negima fanfic that came about due to a discussion on whether it was possible to Gender Flip Mahou Sensei Negima without ending up incredibly creepy. Japanese Teeth decided to take up the challenge by making this complete genderflip which follows the story of the manga with slight differences to reduce creepiness and to keep it interesting. The romantic elements are reduced a lot but there is plenty of humor and a lot more exploration into the viewpoints of characters other than the protagonist and the world where every individual, real or fictional has been genderflipped.
