http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-08-17/uq-holder-fantasy-manga-by-negima-ken-akamatsu-revealed
>This year's 38th issue of Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine is previewing the new manga series UQ Holder! by Ken Akamatsu (Love Hina, Negima! Magister Negi Magi) on Wednesday. The "near-future battle fantasy" series will debut in the following issue on August 28 with an 82-page chapter and a color opening page.

>In the decade since the world became aware of the existence of magic, the world has undergone massive upheaval. However, a boy named Tōta lives in seclusion in a rural town far removed from these changes. His ordinary life is highlighted by his magic-using female teacher and his supportive friends. When his tranquil daily life is disrupted, he embarks on a unique adventure.

Eva is confirmed to be in it, and I'm almost certain that's Fate on the far right. Maybe this will help patch up Negima's ending.

Negima was one of my favorite mangas. This pleases me.
>> No. 84571
It'll be nice to see what Akamatsu comes up with when he can start out straight-up shonen fantasy, rather than having to wrap it up in harem for the first few volumes.

Read the first chapter. Definitely could be cool, and that's speaking as someone who never bothered to sit down and try Negima.

You should go back and fix that.

I read it for a while before losing interest, and last I checked Evangeline McDowell was a waaaaay different type of person than Yukihime. Did the rad-ification happen in the previous story, or is that personality a new development?

Also, wasn't Konoka all but confirmed to be totally lesbian with Setsuna? So how did she end up with descendants? Did she have siblings or something? Or did they have some sort of it's-magic-I-don't-gotta-explain-shit yuri baby?
>> No. 84640
>>84627
tvtropes says it's a new development. she was freed from her life as a perpetual 10-year-old at the end of negima i guess, so she took on a different form. i think having whatshisface as family for the past few years probably changed her too.

also adoption's an option. they might not be genetic descendants.

caveat: negima bored the hell out of me so i never read it, i just read some stuff about it after i read UQ, which i liked well enough

Also you think Kung Fu Wizards fighting transforming robots and giant monsters is boring?

It depends on how it's done.

Touta is gloriously retarded.

Negima was fucking amazing, but this... Eh, so far nothing in this series really stands out to me. I'll probably keep checking it out every week since reading it takes less than 10 minutes, but... yeah.

It's not like Negima had a great start, either.

Well that's not an answer to the Koromaru gender question I'd have ever seen coming.

That's actually a really awful decision to have to make at that age, too.

Didn't see the twist coming with the martial artist guy. I assume the wolf form's so that when he recognizes Touta it isn't mutual.

Also the market for high-powered enforcers has to be MASSIVELY oversaturated for it to be worth hiring this level of expert just to clear out some random slum property for development- wait, was that the scenario here?

(checks)

...Interesting. Koromaru raised a similar question immediately and it didn't actually get answered. Something more's going on with this church.

Seriously, I did not expect UQ Holder to have this kind of chops for drawing action scenes. Was Negima like this?

You were told to go back and read Negima for a reason. Why are you even reading the sequel if you haven't?

Indulge me one more question: UQ Holder's action is is 95% swords, fists, and martial arts- physical stuff. How's Negima compare?
>> No. 86938

That question has been answered three times now.

I'm asking about the ratio of physical action to magic stuff.
>> No. 86949
>>86941
Most of the magic used in battles (especially later on) either supplements physical abilities (make yourself stronger, create weapons), are used by someone who separately uses martial arts to keep from getting murdered mid-casting, or create some sort of separate entity to fight instead of the caster.

It's pretty similar in that regard to Fairy Tail, though Negima has way more characters that focus totally on physical fighting.

Thanks, I'll have to give it a shot sometime.

I would absolutely love it if the war between Eva/UQ Holder and Fate "The Greatest Wizard in the Solar System" Avernecus is over something stupidly petty.
>> No. 88541

Both of them probably wanted to bone Negi.
