questions b4 i read
I've been watching the anime, and am currently dling all 11 vol. of the manga so I haven't started reading yet. But I'm wondering, is Masataka narrating all this Just like in the 1st ep. And also, I forget which episode, but it was when Nagi and Bob joined Maya's club, Masataka said, 'that was the day the strongest member of the Jyuukenbu club was born.' If that's so, then wouldn't that mean that this has all already passed Or was the narrating thing just an anime adaptation
Actually, I have the impression that Masataka is simply just a dominant narrator. Some other parts seem to be narrated by other characters--such as during the past arc or probably during anything related to F. The ambiguity makes it more open for the reader to determine the story's voice for him/herself. For instance, who's narrating the past arc? Masataka, Bunshichi, or Maya? Mana perhaps?
Furthermore, the manga isn't just limited to straight narration. Some of them are just musings or comments from certain characters.

There are multiple narrators throughout the manga. Masataka starts off, but Bunshichi narrates the entire past arc, if we are to believe how they set that up. (Of course, other people within the past arc become narrators then too, supposedly while Bunshichi is still telling the tale... Quite interesting really.)
This leads to one of my favorite images in the manga: Nagi and Bob on the subway reading Ultra Jump about the past arc! heh.
