Just Make Negi An Adult Already

Male characters aren't spared from losing their appeal and Negi is my number one target for this.

Negi is unique among harem protagonists, despite what is required for a magical partnership, the fact that Negi is a pre-teen stops it from pushing into overly creepy territory but as the story progressed into ever more fantastic scenarios, Negi had to steal some aging magic from Marvelous Melmo to achieve some very powerful forms in battle, it got to the point where it was so hard to think of Negi as a child character anymore that I found it difficult to take him seriously, it felt like an ass pull everytime he gained an advantage in a battle, alternate versions remembered to keep him at the same age but the OG version just proves that Ken Akamatsu is terrible at Shonen manga and probably should've used a time skip to allow Negi a much smoother development.
