 UQ Holder News: Volume 17 Covers Revealed!

The covers for volume 17 of UQ Holder's manga were revealed today and feature Evangeline in a bleak environment.

There's not a very big difference in the covers this time around, the only differences being the placement of the logo, the lighting, and Eva's expression being a smile.

The limited edition will come with the manga, a pactio card, and a brand new OAD episode, "Karin Senpai's Secret That Can't Be Spoken", a story that revolves around Touta and Karin.
Both versions of volume 17 are set to be released on June 8, 2018.

There's been no word whether the next volume with be a limited edition or not and as of now, there's also no news of any future OAD episodes.

So what do you think of this cover? Are you excited about the new OAD? Let us know!

Site News: UQ Holder! OAD 2 Translation!

Picture
Today, we'd like to announce that we have been working on providing English subtitles to the UQ Holder! OAD that released in March earlier this year. Unfortunately, the OAD series have not been localized, so there is no official release outside Japan. The episode, Eternal First Kiss in a Moment, revolves around Kirie and Touta winding up stuck together in a seemly impossible predicament. 

Our staff has been hard at work providing an English translation and we've finished! You can download the subtitle file here.

We will not be providing the episode itself, however, so you will need to find a copy of it yourself. We do strongly recommend supporting the official release and ask you consider looking into purchasing the episode.


A new OAD is set to release in June, so if you would like to help us translate the next episode, please contact us!

UQ Holder News: Sentai Lists UQ Holder! as Favorite Vampire Anime

Picture

​Sentai Filmworks regularly does these fun little countdowns, featuring a variety of anime centered about a certain prompt. Last week, they did a "Our Favorite Vampire Anime" and among their four choices was UQ Holder!
​
Uhh… who wouldn’t want to find out that they are actually a kick-ass vampire and their guardian is also 700-years-old? On top of that, who doesn’t want to join a secret society for people just like them? A whole new world opens up to Tota with Yukihime and brings viewers along for the ride, making UQ Holder! one of our most favorite stories of the supernatural kind.
-- Sentai Filmworks

​Of course, this is nothing special, as it is just a way for Sentai to promote their shows a bit more, but it's interesting nonetheless and it's cool to see UQ Holder! featured (you can see the full list here).

 Polls: New Activity! Also UQ Holder Poll!

Hello! Today, we're excited to announce we'll be starting a new activity for visitors to participate in! Starting today, we'll be having polls for the various odds and ends for the series and gather public opinion! 

Even if you opinion strays from the fray, just leave a comment why you feel differently and maybe just sway the minds of others!

Today's poll regards UQ Holder, but before voting, please be wary of spoilers! This does contain spoilers of the most recent chapter of the manga (Ch. 147). To vote, simply click on the spoiler button below!

Chapter 147 threw fans for a loop with the reveal that Touta appeared to be birthed from what looks to Konoka Konoe, or someone who matches her appearance completely. With another question unanswered and an entire month of speculation, theories have been thrown every which way and we want to hear them!

Final Results:

​If your answer isn't in the list, just leave a comment and tell us who you think it is

 Fanart: MOTHER


Wow! That most recent chapter of UQ Holder is really making the gears turn for the fans! It's hard to wait until hopefully we get some answers in May, but until then, how about some fanart?

 Merchandise News: Kirie Sakurame Figure!

Picture
FOTS Japan recently announced that they're working on a Kirie Sakurame figure. Not much has yet been released, but a picture of an early uncolored prototype. The design is the same as her appearance on volume 4 of UQ Holder's manga. Figure details, such as size and price should be released in the near future,

FOTS Japan releases mass-produced figures in Japan and their items are officially licensed, so this might be something fans want to consider picking up when it's released.

We'll cover the figure more when additional details are released.

What do you think of the figure? Planning on buying it? Want to see another character? Let us know!

 Merchandise News: UQ Holder Anime Counterfeit Release

While this might be apparent news to some of you, we still wanted to cover counterfeits to those who aren't aware.

Anime isn't always the cheapest purchase, especially new titles. To make some cash from fans who want to own and watch a show, they'll sell fake products at a much lower price, and it seems UQ Holder already has such a DVD out. Negima's anime experienced the same, but there are reasons not to invest in these counterfeit releases.

Buying these not only does not help the creators of the series, but you're buying a shoddy product. The box art is ripped straight from promotional art and episodes, even the logo isn't official. Knockoff DVD's like this are known for performing poorly and many times, use illegible subtitles. All in all, as it's not an official release, you're bound to get shortchanged. To ensure you get what you pay for, it's best to wait for an official release.

Keep in mind: at this current time, UQ Holder has only been released in Japan as a box set, in Blu-ray format, without English subtitles. If you want to support the creators and get an official product, avoid this product and others like it. We'll be sure to cover the official releases.

Have you seen unofficial merch for the series? As always, let us know below!

 UQ Holder News: Volume 16 Covers Revealed!

The covers for volume 16 of UQ Holder's manga were revealed today and feature members of the UQ Holder team. The one on the right is for the standard edition while the one on the left is for the limited edition release.

Unlike other limited editions in the past, which feature slight variations of the cover, volume 16 features completely different characters dressed in swim wear rather than normal clothes. The only thing they share are the same backgrounds.

This is pretty interesting and it may just be what they do for the next limited edition release.

Both versions of volume 16 are set to be released on March 9, 2018.
The limited edition will come with the manga, a Pactio Card, and a brand new OAD episode, "Eternal First Kiss in a Moment", a story that revolves around Touta and Kirie.

What do you think of these covers? Do you have a favorite? Let us know below!

Series News: Negimate Mobile Game Launches Today!


​You may remember before when we first talked about the Negima/UQ Holder mobile game that was in the works and today, it finally has been released! UQ Holder: Mahou Sensei Negima 2 to Negima All Stars (or Negimate)  is available on iOS and Android, but it is limited to Japan, so you may have to find a creative way to play it. 

Picture
Picture

We haven't been able to play very far into it yet, but many characters from the series are shown, such as minor characters like Tachibana and the shadow puppets from UQ Holder. We'll soon be making a page for the game that will go over much for information, so please look out for that in the near future!

Are you planning on picking up the game? Let us know!
