UQ Holder News: Crunchyroll Says Goodbye to UQ Holder Manga
Crunchyroll announced today that several manga series they had rights to would soon be leaving their platform. Unfortunately, UQ Holder is one of the IP's to be dropped. This falls on Kodansha, who is actively changing things on the distribution end.
This is the statement Kodansha gave on this matter:
This is the statement Kodansha gave on this matter:
"Due to forthcoming changes in Kodansha’ simulpub distribution program, we are suspending simulpub updates until further notice. For now, the best way to keep up with your favorite series will be by following the collected volumes. We at Kodansha are deeply sorry to those of you who have kept up-to-date through the simulpub format, and while we can’t divulge any details at the moment, we have exciting announcements to make about simulpubs in the coming months.
If you have been reading UQ Holder on Crunchyroll, please keep this in mind. It will stay live until January 31, 2023, so if you have been postponing your reading, you may want to pick it back up, though it is worth keeping in mind that the full series is not published on Crunchyroll. You can read the full article on Crunchyroll and see if any other titles that pique your interest will be leaving the platform.

UQ Holder News: Volume 28 Cover!
Volume 28 of UQ Holder, the last release, came out some time ago, finally bringing the series to an end. We are a bit late with this update, but pictured above is the final cover design, featuring the same duo we started with. The back cover is the Negima cast, living out their lives in the UQ Holder timeline now that the journey is over. This volume received eight bonus pages that were not featured in the initial release, and while I will not spoil the contents of those here, I will clarify it is not an epilogue.
Volume 28 was released on March 9, 2022 in Japan.
It really is hard to believe the series is over and with this, news regarding the series as a whole will definitely be far less frequent. The author has since went into politics and while he proudly features his popular works, there does not currently seem like there are plans to continue this story.
What did you all think of UQ Holder? Did you feel like the last couple of chapters wrapped up nicely? What did you think of the ending the characters received? Let us know, one last time!

APRIL FOOL'S: Negima Series NFT Line Announced: Pactio GIRLS
If you have been around on the internet for the past year, it has been pretty impossible not to notice the addition of NFT's on social media. Brands and artists have been dying to get in on the action and the anime industry is no exception. For instance, famed manga artist, Kamui Fujiwara, known for his work on Shifuku Sennen or Dragon Quest: Warriors of Eden, put up concept illustrations for an NFT line earlier this year.
Today, we are here to announce the addition of the new NFT line from Ken Akamatsu himself! He recently addressed his interest in the NFT market in a recent tweet and this led up to the announcement of a new line, focused on the Negima cast. He posted a new tweet earlier this month.

これはすべて冗談なので、私はグーグル翻訳で一貫性のないものを書いています。私はそれをPactioGIRLSと呼んでいます。何とか何とか、NFTの他のものについての何か。
Translated, Akamatsu announces a new series of NFT's title "Pactio GIRLS". It is focused around the many female characters in Negima. What makes this line interesting is that the Pactio Cards from the manga will be the base, but each NFT will have a unique outfit. While the details are yet to be announced, it is expected the more popular cast will receive more illustrations than other less-favored characters.
Perhaps results from the 2017 popularity poll will be considered, though that is just speculation. More details are to come in the following weeks.
What do you think of this announcement? Are you happy to have an exclusive waifu of your very own? Are you hoping for another line, but with Love Hina or the UQ Holder cast? Be sure to let us know your thoughts!

UQ Holder News: Volume 27 Cover Revealed!
The cover art of volume 27 recently came out and it appears that Evangeline in both her normal and adult form star on this piece of art. Interestingly, this is one of the only covers not to feature Touta in some way, though it is almost assured he will appear on the back cover. If you have been keeping up with the story, the art seems pretty fitting for this volume.
Volume 27 will release on November 9th, 2021 in Japan.
What do you think of it? Volume 28 will be the last, so there is only one more cover to go. Are you hoping any characters will be featured? Maybe you would like to see something similar to Negima's final volume? You be sure to let us know all your thoughts in the comments below!

Merchandise News: DMM Scratch is Currently Holding a Negima Raffle!
There's a new wave of Negima merchandise about to release, courtesy of DMM Scratch. In case you are not familiar with that name, they essentially functions as a mail-in lottery, via physical mail or by purchasing a ticket online. Lucky winners will receive exclusive merchandise for the series. Some of the items are more common wins than others, just as a normal lottery operates. The prize tiers are listed below.
A-tier offers two different die-cut acrylic boards. These are the rarest prizes, with a 2/100 chance to claim them. Oh, and in addition, both versions are signed by the author of the manga, Ken Akamatsu, so no doubt, these are the most coveted items in this promotion.
Four different canvas boards are the prizes of B-tier. Each features different colored art from the manga. There's a 6/100 chance of winning one of these.
Face towels are pretty popular items in Japan, so it is no surprise to see them as a prize for C-tier. The art on the towels are taken from the covers of the most recent releases of Negima's manga a few years ago. There are six designs in all with a 12/100 chance of receiving one.
Let's hope the odds are in your favor if you hope to win your favorite character from the D-tier. Negi and all his students are available as acrylic stands, making 32 total types of prizes. Interestingly, the art for these are taken from the character profiles from the manga. There is a 30/100 chance to win one.
Can badges are not usually the most coveted, but who wouldn't want a Negima one? Well, you can win one in E-tier, with 32 different options! The character art is the same from D-tier and there is a 50/100 chance to win one of these, so the odds are in your favor.
In addition to the prizes above, there are bonus prizes! Additional face towels can be won, but their quantities are limited. Each towel will only be available for a hand-full of days or until they sell out.
Each scratch entry costs ￥880 and unfortunately, this lottery is limited solely to Japan. However, we are bound to see the items hit auction sites in the future, so keep an eye out! You can find more details and the Negima DMM Scratch page here!

UQ Holder News: Volume 26 Cover Revealed!
Recently, volume 26's cover of UQ Holder was revealed. On it, we see the three main contender to Touta's flourishing harem. It is certainly very different in tone when compared to the previous volume's art, but it definitely represents the recent chapters rather well. Sadly, UQ Holder is winding down to its end, so there are only a few more covers yet to come, so this may be the last with fan service, but who knows. We shall see.
Volume 26 will release on July 9th, 2021 in Japan.
What do you think of this cover? Do you have any wishes for certain characters to appear on future covers? What did you think of the recent chapters? Let us know, won't you?

Negima News: Asuna Appears in Rent-A-Girlfriend Mobile Game Cross-Over!
It was announced, a few days ago, that the manga series, Rent-A-Girlfriend, would soon be seeing its own mobile game, titled, Kanojo, Okarishimasu Heroine All-Stars and will be developed by Enish. The series is printed in Weekly Shonen Magazine and it seems that many of the iconic heroines from other series printed in the magazine will appear in the game as a cross-over. These girls range from manga that are still being printed to this day to ones that have ended almost a decade before.
Interesting to note is the inclusion of Asuna Kagurazaka. Negima's manga ended in 2012 and it seems to be the oldest series included in the game. It also seems like the characters are represented by their anime series, so Asuna is featured alongside the Negima Anime FINAL film.

The game will be fully voiced and Akemi Kanda will be reprising her role as Asuna. There are many specifics that yet yet to be revealed, such as what exactly the gameplay will be like, but we will be sure to update when more news is dropped. The game is set to be released in September of this year. You can view the game's Twitter account here and its website here.
There is a bit of speculation about whether this promotion may mean we will see more Negima news in the future, but due to the fact there are other characters with series that have long since ended, we do not believe there is any hard evidence to say one way or another, but nothing is off the table. Even if this leads to nothing, it is still nice to see new Negima content in any media.
We will be making a page on our site for the game in the near future, so please look forward to it! What do you think of this cross-over? Do you plan on playing it? Do you think this may point to Negima receiving some sort of update in the future? Be sure to let us know in the comments below!

UQ Holder News: Bessatsu Shonen Magazine April 2021 Issue Features UQ Holder on Cover!
It was announced a little while ago that UQ Holder would be appearing on the front cover for the magazine it is currently being published in, Bessatsu Shonen Magazine. If you know anything about these covers, it's a great chance for the manga's artists to show off brand new art of their characters in color, so fans tend to look forward to it. This time around, we have the main cast garbed in wedding dresses with Touta in the center, wearing his nee working attire. Ken Akamatsu also released a clean version of the art on his Twitter.
This will appear on the April 2021 version of the magazine, set to release on March 9, the same day that volume 25 of UQ Holder is set to release!

Polls: Who is the Best Boy in UQ Holder?
We have all heard the classic argument: who is best girl?
It's a popular topic among anime fans, but there is one I hear far less often regards men, so we're going to focus on them for today's poll. Mind you, Sept and Kuromaru will be added to the poll. They are both special exceptions, but they will be added for the sake of being thorough.
There are many interesting characters who are apart of UQ Holder, so I am definitely interested in your answers.

Negima News: Featured on Sentai's Halloween Scavenger Hunt!
A couple days ago, Sentai Filmworks, the English publisher of both Negima and UQ Holder, announced a Halloween-themed scavenger hunt. HIDIVE was also participating in the event. To play, a person would be given a hint to specify a specific anime and would need to look through Sentai and HIDVE's websites to find the title in question. Answering 8 clues would result in being able to enter your email into a giveaway for prizes and each answer would award downloadable wallpapers.
What's interesting is this clue:
What's interesting is this clue:
It looks like Negima was featured among the scavenger hunt, with a dad-pun to kill all dad-puns. It was pretty neat to come across! (By the way, the answer to the clue definitely may or may not be the Negima! + Negima!? Complete Collection..)
Good luck if you choose to participate!

UQ Holder News: Volume 24 Cover Revealed!
With the 24th volume of UQ Holder set to release in the coming weeks, the new cover has been revealed. On it, we see the human girls (and Isana and Honoka, which are not confirmed human one way or another) in some revealing attire. Surprisingly, this is the first time Shinobu, Honoka, and Isana have been featured on the front cover and gives us a good look at their intended hair color. Also interesting is the fact Isana's ponytail is drawn on the opposite side as it is normally portrayed, so it is up for debate whether it was intentional or not.
Volume 24 will release on November 9th, 2020 in Japan.
What do you think of this new cover? There definitely won't be too terribly more in the future, so what characters would you like to see represented? Let us know!

Merchandise News: Sentai Filmworks to Release Complete Negima Collection
Sentai Filmworks recently announced their newest line-up of anime soon to hit their store and surprisingly, Negima was on this list. It seems they have combined both animated series and are set to release a combo collection of both the XEBEC TV series and Shaft's Negima!? adaption, along with the two Spring/Summer OVA's along with it.

Site Event: Class 3-A Tournament Arc
We are all for events that the community can do together, so today, we present to you... The Class 3-A Tournament!
As we were re-reading Negima in our community Discord server, an idea came to form. Who is truly the strongest of Negi's students? We have made a tournament-style bracket made up of the entirety of Class 3-A. The idea is simple. Each girl is paired with another, but in a battle, who would win?
Due to where we are in the re-read, this battle takes place immediately after the School Festival arc in the manga, so any growth made by the characters in volumes 19 and up will not be considered in this tournament.
If you'd like to vote with the rest of the community for who you think the winners of these rounds would be, please check do so on our Discord server! Be sure to join us as we read through and discuss things we may not have noticed in Negima, too!

UQ Holder News: Addressing UQ Holder! Anime Season 2 Rumors
Recently, there's been several rumors creeping around on social media about a second season of UQ Holder. The first season originally aired in October of 2017 and following its release, two OAD episodes were released with a couple limited edition releases of the series' manga.
Since then, fans were asking for awhile, when is the second season?
A blog reported a a year or so ago that the second season was coming October later that year. Recently, many groups on social media are reporting on season 2 coming out this fall. Some even say the second season is already airing, but they insist the OAD episodes are part of the second season. The first OAD episode aired even before the first season of the anime, so this certainly is not the case.
So, the big question, is a second season coming?
The short answer? No, probably not. The series, while fortunate enough to receive OAD episodes, has been cursed with one season anime series, ever since the first season of Negima. There is no news about a second season coming out and frankly, the odds of one coming are slim. Remember, rumors always crop up, so check for sources before you get your hopes up! However, if Kodansha decides to release a new season, you can bet we will report on it!
Have you seen any rumors about UQ Holder or Negima? What are your thoughts on them? Please let us know!
