This is a manga series by Ken Akamatsu, creator of Love Hina. It also has an anime version and a spin off that was not as popular.
It focuses around a 10 year-old boy named Negi and he has to teach English at an all-girl's school in Japan. He's a magician who has to keep quiet. Asuna, a student of his, knows his secret and is always threatening to tell everyone about it.
All in all, it's pretty cute. I got the first volume today.

I find it disturbing because he's 10 and he has high-school girls hitting on him.
Seriously. WTF?

I think it's cute. And aren't the girls in his class in JUNIOR high? They're not THAT old! I have seen the first episode, and read most of the manga online. I really should read the rest. -_-

Well, I've only read the first. Are all the girls older than him?

Yep. Every single one.
I'm pretty sure he and Azuna end up going out in the later ones.
Wrong on so many levels.

Some of them, like Nodoka and Evangeline, look younger.
And most stuff today involves younger men and older women, or vice versa. Plus, things might change. It's not set in stone that Asuna and Negi will end up together.

Asuna is about 14 or 15 yrs. old, I think. And this is later in the series. And Negi WILL get older. So it's not wrong. It's cute. And that's Japanese manga/anime for you. ^_^

They're all in middle school, right? Can't be terribly older than him. And that isn't as bad as you think. Take the pairing KakaSaku, for example. People think KakaSaku is cute and Kakashi is 14 years older than Sakura!!

I think Sakura should go with Lee, but that's beside the point. It isn't as bad as you think!!

I'm telling you that the girls are like only 4 or 5 yrs. older than him. And he's not going to stay 10 yrs. old forever! If you don't like it, that's fine.

Yeah, he won't be 10 forever. He'll get older and it won't seem as bad.
