As a reader who really enjoyed Akamatsu's last series, Negima, I found myself not enjoying the start of this series very much. In fact I couldn't find any enjoyment out of this series at all. Maybe I'm still feeling resentful about the ending of Negima, which was basically a slap in the face for a fan that had followed the series for years.

Still, the manga has a somewhat solid start, there isn't anything terribly wrong with it either. But I can't stop comparing this series with Negima and feel that its inferior in every single aspect. Sure its only the start and you can't really say whether the manga will turn out good or bad. But, once again, comparing it to Negima, I felt that Negima had a much richer setting and a cast of characters but not much of anything plotwise, which was fine since the early chapters of Negima were really fun on their own, all this was introduced in Negima by chapter 4, whereas UQ Holder has the outlines of the plot defined, some backstory and a few uninteresting characters, including the protagonist and another one carried over from Negima. All I can see through my biased perception is inferiority at this point, so this rant isn't objective and unaccurate at points.

Also the fact that the author decided to return to the old universe from Negima might turn out to be a double-edged sword. The fact that Negimas ending left so many question marks and loose ends is surely going to bring fans of Negima to read this series in hopes of revelations. At the same time though if this series is only riding the fame of Negima and doesn't actually live up to its expectations and doesn't get good public reception I can see it ending within a year. Time will tell I guess. And in spite of my negativity here, I really want this series to be good and succeed, since I'm a fan of Akamatsu's work. I just had way higher expectations than what I've actually seen from this series.

Well, I guess this is going to be cool. Being a sequel of Mahou Sensei Negima! gives its own plus point to me. But man, blades everywhere, this one really aims for shounen genre huh?

Ken Akamatsu's nadir

by AquarianDemocrat

Rating: N/A

If Ken Akamatsu wants to write a Shounen action, more power to him! He could write a great Shounen action series, with great characters and action! He should go do that instead of beating a dead horse by trying to reopen and rewrite Negima. This is a confused mess.

Leos' is right this is uncalled for. The final chapters of Negima barely qualified as outlines, they weren't even story boards, let alone a coherent plot. It left a bitter aftertaste for most fans, and was a sharp contrast with the strong endings to his previous series. He should have started fresh. Instead he chose to reopen and mess with Negima some more to pursue whatever vendetta he's pursuing against his old editor.

UQ Holder barely pays lip service to the plot of Negima. It features new characters, redesigns old characters, and even seemingly offers sharp personality changes to what few characters from Negima actually make it into the supposed sequel.

Even the art and plotting seem worst. Ken Akamatsu's most well known series, Love Hina, was a comedy about college students. Many chapters revolved around studying, but it often has more energy than this supposed action series. Love Hina really made me think Ken Akamatsu could write a great Shounen. It was fast paced, knew how to develop characters without slowing down the action, and the style just seemed to fit well. Despite being based around an important event in the main character's past, there were almost no flashbacks, or interruption in the scenes at all. Many chapters were one continuous flowing scene.

Now look at UQ Holder. It opens with flashback, chapter one contains numerous long flashbacks, lots of talking heads. So much talking about things no one cares about, so many switches in perspective. It's chapter one! Stick to the main character please.

Also, it's hard to believe this guy created a larger than life building like Hinata-sou in Love Hina (or to a lesser extent the school in Negima.) Backgrounds in this series are minimal and few and far between. You'd think atmosphere and a cool location would be more important in the fantasy epic, but apparently not, because as far as I can tell the eighty (80!!!!!) page opening chapter takes place almost entirely in a handful of rooms in what looks like the world's most sterile 20th century school.

This is not only a unneeded and unwanted series, it's just plain bad on the merits, and also is a slap in the fact to fans of Negima with its redesigns and seeming re-writing of the series. At times it doesn't even seem to treat the events of Negima like canon. It makes me angry because I know a lot of people liked Negima (I thought it was OK, for my part) and a lot of his old fans loyally stuck with Ken Akamatsu as he dipped his toes into the Action-Adventure waters, and I feel like this series spits on the entire cast of Negima and is really a huge disservice to all of its fans. He should have started a new series, not retroactively tried to rewrite Negima.

A much unneeded sequel

by Leos Klein

Rating: N/A

Negima became convoluted crap a long time ago and it seems this author can't succeed without piggybacking off of it.
I guess Ken is out of steam and has to use an existing world and characters to try and draw people in. So if you for reason want more Negima then go all in on this. If however you haven't read Negima or dropped it then do yourself a favor and skip this too.

A unneeded sequel to fanboys

by Sukets
12 years ago

Rating: 3.0 / 10.0

Well, as the title say, this is just a sequel so that he can leech even more money from his fanboy's... And the worst, his fanboys even defend him!

I agree that this may not be bad enough to win a 1, but definitely is not worth a 10. I won't even ask how this got this many 10.
While we are at it, I don't even remember anything being worth a 10, and is because of brainless voters like this, that a bayesian average is needed.

At the same time I don't think that this is the worst manga I ever saw, I also don't think it is worth the trees that are cut, for this to be printed over.
