Well time for a proper Negima flashback, with maybe Ghost Touta meeting Asuna there. Also Eva getting mad at Yue over Touta was nice, but the confirmation that she made him is kinda worrying. Well I guess we will have to wait till October for the next chapter, but really not liking this haitus.

-An anime adaptation has been confirmed, more details will come later
-The manga will change publications, from Weekly Shounen Magazine to (monthly) Bessatsu Shounen Magazine
-The manga will get int a hiatus from August (last chapter published in WSM) to October
If they're going to make an anime from UQ Holder, they better do a proper job of it.

I never watched the anime for Negima, but my understanding is that it went completely off the rails when compared to the manga.

So here's hoping they don't f**k up as badly with UQ Holder.

Well Cutlass is one of the clones, and since Touta is a second gen clone, he probably was based one some of the failed clones. So it's probably something like they had two generation of clones which would explain the big number.

All I know is that we have to have the ribbon clone show up.

That Blond with Asuna type ribbons on Vol 11's cover better show up. Even better if it turns out to be Murder!Imo. I'm am on the EveryonebutEva!/Touta train and that looks like it has potential.

Edit: On a closer look at the blurry pic, Damn it. It is from that one scene. Well at least it was from when the Eva Ship sank.

I am curious about Nodaka and the others being there. There is no way they would side with such a plan even if it meant turning against negi. Also most were said to have been killed in the third war against the mage of beginnings. Also even if it was for a purpose they never would say he is just a tool.

The best theory I have heard is that they struck a deal with the Mage of beginning. However

I am just frustrated they would use Jack, nodoka, and yue like this. Also Nodoka's cold personality is frustrating since it doesn't match the character I knew from Negima.

Sorry had to vent a little.

Sorry for double posting but I had a question. Is nagi still alive because in chapter 129 I saw rakan use his pactio.

Also is it possible that their is someone else directing this. Because in one of the chapters where we saw yue, nodaka, rakan and conel tell Negi he didn't need to suffer anymore, at that time the mage of begging was still trying to possess negi and could not have done it. Also all of them were presumed dead in the third war agianst the mage of begging.

Or is it possible that the third war was merely a set up for a bigger plan.

Nagi has been "captured" by the MoB. And, given how they're acting, it's possible they died and were simply brought back to life.

my point is not about them but the fact that they were seen with negi before the mage of beginning had finished taking negi over and that may be significant for one reason or another.

I hope she did bring them back from the dead though I think that isn't the case. All I know is that their is a 90 percent chance they are not acting of their own free will.

On the other hand, I think it would be more interesting if they are doing it of their own will for reasons that have yet to have been explained.

Negi not being the dragon or final boss would be quite the twist.

You mean how the mage of begging just popped out in Negima when we all thought she was dead. It is possible because MoB is trying to act like Negi. We don't know if she can unpossess someone and simply do to Negi what she did to Yue and the others.

There are spoilers for the next chapter floating around. Something important is that the name of the manga now has a subtitle:

UQ Holder! ~ Mahou Sensei Negima 2

I'm kind of sad it's just Negima 2 and not 'awesome adventures of immortals". Seemed like it turned more and more negima as chapters went on, wondering how sales were going for it.

The last 4 volumes (the most Negima-ish) are actually the best selling ones. Negima was usually in the 70k~80k range unless the volume included an OVA or the pactio cards. AFAIK UQ doesn't include any goodie in the volumes.

Interesting. Also reminds me that I need to buy the last couple of volumes for my collection.

Has the next chapter 129 been released yet? I know it has not been translated by anyone.

Most spent on a flashback, but the new stuff is interesting. Going to be painful having to wait a month between chapters though.

At least it was a long one though. And hell, we actually got the name of the original Lifemaker!

That should count for something. It seems that Touta was time displaced though?

If it was time displacement then expect Negi to join the fight, since he was still around. My bet is that all this is just an illusion by Albireo, , we know he can do that kind of magic, he is just testing Touta to see what he can do.

Also, An interesting read about Iaidabaoth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demiurge

I've forgotten how much over the top Ayaka was.

She literally had a Negi Plane at one point. So the cooks were par for the course.

I'm just surprised at how deredere Eva was. It was much more than what I remembered.

...I don't really know what's going on right now, but things are happening!

Felt like four weekly chapters awkwardly slapped together rather than one, cohesive chapter.

This is what comes from the sin of changing a manga's schedule from weekly to monthly. :no:
