So like started off strong liking the anime then now I don’t think I can continue after ep 5.

They just murdered like thousands if not tens of thousands of people (2 million residents stated). I get MC he’s 14 and still a child. But Karin is super old having a casual conversation with the blind dude and watching the murders just hang out. Dude was SAing here two minutes ago in the bath. So weird.

What was Cosmo Entelecheia's plan?

I'm rereading Negima currently and I'm about to read Negi and Fate's final showdown when something clicked. Fate trapping Negi and crew in Mundus Magica was purely coincidental. They happened to be at the same gate at the same time, he said this to Negi. But if Negi and crew didn't decide to go to Megalomesembria at that exact time..... what exactly was their plan? They needed the Twilight Princess to put it in effect. And them shutting down every gate between the old and new world would make it that Asuna DEFINITELY would not be able to go to Mundus Magica.

So like, without Asuna, what were they planning to do exactly? Is Fate stupid? Actually Dynamis was in charge at this point, is Dynamis stupid?

coping with the sadness

Hello, I guess not very many people will care because it's really personal and a long finished series that I believe didn't left only good impressions, but I just finished UQ Holder and I am saaaaaaaad.

I get the series end with bittersweet on purpose but I have really been impacted by it. I know the tragedy of immortality is a theme that permeates the whole piece, but having that ending says out loud the quiet part about all the people left behind in time hits me way more than it should.

I know the manga isn't very good in a lot of ways and that with the years growing on me the sexualization teenage girls (childrens really) are feeling more and more icky. But I can't stop caring about those fucking fake people! I feel way too much!

I had a kinda same feeling when I finished Negima and Love Hina all those years ago and when I finished other sagas but not THIS bad.

Is it because it fundamentally talks about the passage of time and the inevitability of death?

Did anyone have similar feelings?

Does anyone know of a way to make a theme go away? Or at least make something of them?

Can someone pat me on the head and say everything is going to be alright?

(God I am fucking soapy)

(Those people don't exist)

(I have actual friends, an actual family, a pretty good life)

(Why do I feel so down)

Negi and eva

I am confused could somebody explain the timeline of eva and negis romance? If she was in love with him why didn't she end up with him when he was freed? I mean isn't it kinda disrespectful to be close to another person (touta) when she is 'with' negi.

I'm looking for a specific chapter in the original manga (Mahou Sensei Negima)

You see, I like Evangeline's character, and I wanted to know which chapters talked about her backstory (in other words, which chapters show flashbacks of her human life and her becoming a vampire) - I don't mind potential spoilers. Could you help me find them please ? Thank you

Did yukihime/eva settle with touta because she couldn't get with nagi?

In the last chapter of uq holder, the last thing eva did before leaving was to confess that she loved nagi. If he was still alive post time skip, would she have choosen him instead of touta? Does she love nagi more than touta? I know she ended up with touta in the end but i still can't stop thinking about what if nagi was still alive. Please answer, this question is keeping me awake at night.

Just finished UQ Holder for the first time, what are your favorite moments ?

I'm actually surprised that the Negima/UQ Holder series doesn't have a bigger fanbase, I thought it would be relative big considering the scale of the manga, and even more surprised that UQ Holder seems generally disliked by the fanbase, I loved every single page of this series.

I LOVE the Dana's training arc, especially the love story between past Eva and present Touta, it scratched my itch for an Eva's romance way back in Negima, and it made me like her and Touta even more.

I started reading Negima way back in 2007 and it's a huge piece of my childhood. It took me a LOOONG time to know that there's a sequel called UQ Holder and I could never be happier. Now I've finished it and it actually feels like my childhood is closing, at least Akamatsu Ken didn't die like Kazuki Takahashi or Akira Toriyama.

A more complete end to UQ Holder thanks to the anime ?

I actually believe that the end of UQ Holder could have been more complete thanks to the development of Touta's life between the end of the war and the return of Evangeline, and a description of Negi's life after the final war (I'm really confused about this part and would really like it to be thorough).

So, do you think that the end of UQ Holder could be more complete thanks to the anime (if the season 2 finally comes out) ?

It’s keeping me up at night help (uq holder/negima!)

Ok so I continued reading UQ holder manga after sooo many years so I’m probably late so i depend on your future knowledge guys

So we know that pure blooded vampires / nobles came from Venus. According to Nikitis, originally an ancient civilization that eventually destroyed itself with a never-ending war in pursuit of immortality. Survivors then got sent to Inverse Venus / hell realm that would come to be known as the Demon world where the survivors became demon folk and other monsters.

So my question is, Since the Nobles were from Inverse Venus, so are they demons too? Given that Zazie Rainyday is second-in line princess in Demon World, is she as powerful as the Nobles? And it’s safe to assume that the Demons the Nobles came from is the same as the world of Zazie since Ba’al has a team called “Demon Barons” which confirms a form of hierarchy in the Demon world, hence princesses and stuff. Zazie is not thoroughly explored and explained but we all know she is one of the most powerful beings in negima world for some reason since all she’ve been doing is acting like a support type (a deus ex machina almost sometimes). Like she wasn’t really shown fighting unless you consider Poyo’s fight(?) but then again that’s her sister not her.

Main question is, is Zazie as powerful as Dana or Ba’al or is she more powerful?

Sayo had best girl potential in Negima...(half serious half joke)

She was a ghost,so she should've been able to possess whoever in 3A she wanted, thus she didnt merely possess 2 small boobs, but dozens of boobs depending on who's body she borrowed.Only crazy strong people with haxx powers like Eva,Asuna,Mana,and Zazie should've been immune.(I'm only half-joking)

OK seriously though how cool would it have been if her pactio was some sort of possession artifact that made her possessions stronger/longer or just gave her the ability at all? Imagine her controlling the bad guys or someone like Septendecim?

Chisame's death?

So i haven't really caught up with the new HQ, only bits and pieces to piece all the alt timelines but does it actually show the alt where Chisame dies to Mage of Beginning? I've been following this show since release and the Ala Alba... OVA, and it got pretty messy with a lot of the alt timelines. Ultimately my second question is; which ending did we fully end up with? One where Asuna comes back in time to live a life after Eva & Chao? The one where he saves his father & Chisame gets married to Negi? Or the one where Chao reveals magic to the world? (Honestly might be missing a 4th alt ending cause I swear there's another).

Just need clarification and honestly, don't have the time like I did in 06-07 to go through the entire manga and sequel (which I was super stoked about when I heard UQ Holder release because we all wanted to know who Negi chose).

Thank you so much yall (couldn't find any other info besides wiki fan pages and other explanation but no visuals in the manga depicting when Chisame sacrificed herself. Unlike showing their marriage photo, & the Alt ending with Asuna in Neo)

P.S - Also did Eva reveal in UQ she loved Nagi as well as Negi too? Cause' that was wild loving the man and then his son. Haha

Could Kuromaru’s gender have been any different?

One thing I really liked about Touta was that Kuromaru’s gender was never really an issue for him. He liked Kuromaru for Kuromaru. Even when Kuromaru was identifying more as male, Touta had no problems kissing Kuromaru or being physically close and there was no concerns or worries about being gay/bi.

In the end Kuromaru does fully identify as female and is female when finally doing it with Touta. Touta doesn’t care either way, and Kuromaru is happy to be with him, but I can’t help but wonder if that was the “only” way it could’ve turned out.

For a shounen action/fantasy/sci-fi series, I’m not sure how likely it would’ve been for Touta to be with Kuromaru in the end if Kuromaru identified as male. The way it turned out, you have a (essentially) straight male character with like three or four girls—not that surprising. Even though throughout the series Touta was, you could say, open minded towards Kuromaru and Touta himself probably would’ve been perfectly happy to be with Kuromaru even if male, as a shounen action/fantasy/sci-fi protagonist, I’m not sure if the author would’ve had him be “bi” (even if only with Kuromaru) and had them be intimate like they were with female Kuromaru.

What do you think? Do you think in a meta sense there was any actual chance Kuromaru could’ve been male and been with Touta, or do you think ultimately Touta “had to” be straight and Kuromaru could not have been male if with Tota?

Who are Honoka and Isana?

I started watching the anime and finished it in 4 hrs lol. Now I picked up the manga as s2 of UQ holder isn't coming. So I am on chapter 137 and Isana and Honka were not introduced in the anime. Ik the anime has cut down a lot of things. So who are they if you can explain without spoilers that would be helpful 😓

Can anyone tell me how much connection there is between UQ Holder! Mahou Sensei Negima! 2 and Mahou Sensei Negima.

I once tried to watch Mahou Sensei Negima! and abandoned it after 13 episodes(dont remember why) and after reading the synopsis of UQ Holder! Mahou Sensei Negima! 2 it looks like a totally different type of show so i just wanted to ask what or how large the connection is between them, i.e. would i enjoy the second one if i didnt like the first?

Thanks for any help.

Is it possible that the series continues as a light novel?

I think we all know that Akamatsu can no longer continue drawing due to his current position, so do you think it is possible that the series will continue in the future as a light novel?

Also this possibility of following the manga under the hand of another person but honestly this seems much more expensive and slow seeing the situation of the manga currently, what do you think?
