■アクシデント発生！キリヱの能力に何が!?
I see harem members mentioned (Shinobu included), but the big thing here seems to be that Kirie’s save point was either destroyed, or she lost her ability to use it. As usual, we’ll have to wait for a gracious translator to give us the 4-1-1 (information), presuming these spoilers aren’t troll ones. More updates as they become available.
Update #1: Two translations, first from Gamen, then from DerGilga.
Gamen:
Impatience and Carelessness, Taboo (title page: Kirie, looking at her phone lying on the couch(?), panties visible)
While looking down on Touta with Shinobu and Mizore to either side pressing him,
Kirie scolds Kuromaru who made no progress,
and said to by Karin since its you I’ll say it clearly, you will be joined to Touta
Karin, disappointed in the timid Kuromaru, in order to be joined to Yukihime
stirs them up with no one but Kirie can serve up ToutaKirie who escaped like a startled rabbit and took up position at her stock-trading desk
is suddenly grabbed from behind by Touta and Mizore, and at that moment loses 300,000,000 yen
The return-from-death interfered with by Mizore who’s unaware of the circumstances, in the spur of the moment takes Touta on a time leap
Kirie’s lips pressing against Touta’s was a thing due to the landingPerhaps because at the same time as this the save point was destroyed,
they did not return in time and Mizore is frozen in mid-air* An accident occurs! What is Kirie’s power!?
They really hate periods and quotation marks >.> But they love breaking sentence clauses into different lines and not putting a blank line before the next sentence in the paragraph… So I figured I’d subject y’all to the same.

Thanks to both of you. ^_^ And I guess the harem stuff is back on, eh? 😉
Update #2: The latest harem ship to set sail is revealed.
Well, if Akamatsu-sensei is setting ships to sail, then I want to see Karin’s ship sail too, just because I think it would be hilarious seeing her wrangle with her feelings. (I’m terrible, I know.)
Update #3: A few images from MK.
Well, the chapter comes out in less than a day.

Five chapters, eh? Is that counting 104?

*結ばれる:
1. to be tied together
2. to be wedded
Thanks!
Given karin and Eva’s age, ‘to be tied’ is literally the same. The wedding ceremony would involvethe bride and groom’s hands being tied together, they so their vows, they consummate.
Here’s an example from Mel Gibson’s Braveheart (bonus points for it being Scottish)
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xvo2lr_braveheart-wedding-scene_shortfilms
Set in 1280AD, so about after 200 years before Eva was turned and 212 before Eva met Karin.
Still Karin is a Catholic, but I would’ve assumed she was Italian, but Akamatsu kept it vague.
Still the culture reference of being tied once again shows negima’s strongest point that Sensei should never of abounded, and is considerably more interesting to me. Than the last 20 chapters.
I had to re-read chapter 20 starting from page 11 when Karin first met Chao XinXai. I had forgotten she has this hidden power of light Chao called ‘Nimbus’ that broke Chao’s mage shadow powers (ie the black ribbon) he used on Karin and also Tōta but typical Akamatsu storytelling, it’s without any explanation of how Karin received this power or who gave Karin the ‘Nimbus’ power, what Chao called her ‘curse’ but Karin called it ‘love’ and her ‘source of despair’. So it leaves it to speculation that Karin may have had a love interest long ago that went bad, that wasn’t explained, which is why the way she is with males.
XinXai told of her past – 1492 in a southern European mountain village where she was condemned and hunted as a witch and was burned at the stake and other torturous things done to her, but she didn’t get physically hurt because of her ability, and was known as “Saint of Steel, is Karin Haute”. Wikipedia gives her name as Karin Yuuki, and her powers are of divine origin. She does wear a Madora school uniform, but was she catholic, or christian as her religious preference, I can’t find the reference, maybe others know where, so I have to look in other past chapters if there was any information given.
When Chao confronted Karin, and later when he first went against Kirie and Tōta , he used shadow puppets that he controlled. I found it odd that he didn’t use them this last time which would have been in his favor to use them. Another odd inconsistency.
In reviewing this, I also noticed Karin most of time having her clothes destroyed when she is in a fight, even by Tōta, and also transported to the moon.
Found some translations calling her Karin xxxx, as a different last name, and the power was from God, while another translation left it blank, which gives legit to it being a divine power from God, but nothing more was explained about this power. So it wasn’t or maybe wasn’t from another love relationship with another guy.

Karin makes the sign of the cross as a prayer for the departed.
pPotestantism/christianity wasn’t even being spread through europe until 1530 at the earliest (in england, but that was because my country’s sovereign at the wanted a divorce and it’s hard to invade an island nation on whim) the protestant reformation didn’t take hold until 1580 or so.
Almost century after Karin met Eva. But Karins actual Immortal turn date was an unknown amount of time previous to that. So it’s quite likely that Karin is among the 277 million or so Catholics in Europe.
Wasn’t england under roman rule at that time tough? Because as far as I know Augustine brought Christianity to the british isles 597 AD?
The Roman were kicked out by about 800 years, the civil war was caused by Catholics and Protestants. That led to James I being hung for treason by Catholics. Henry VII was on the throne by 1492, the vast majority of Europe was Catholic.
Ahh! I see! Thank you mattcgw! Yes, you are right, I didn’t catch the ‘sign of the cross’ which is very much catholic or some variant like Orthodox catholics.
Not sure of the dates… European History is a bit foggy for me
I looked at chapter 20 again too — at the images
Middle Ages were from (after the Romans left England) around roughly 600 – 1485AD, Norman (French Normandy and catholic) invasion of 1099. This period where people were burned alive at the stake was going on since roman days including crucifixion, the manga showed the iron maiden (1800s?), and the rack? (1450s?)
But Henry VIII and his many wives resulted in him removing himself from the catholics and starting the protest or ‘protestant’ Church of England (Henry VIII died in 1847?), but that is North of Europe, so you are right – definitely not protestant.
France is definitely Catholic (ie Joan of Arc in the early 1400s), and of course Italy by the 1400s. So Karin may have been there during the middle ages. But how far south, the only other southern “European” country areas can be Malta, Sicily, maybe Greece. Definitely not the Ottoman Empire or the Middle East side and that begins with Constantinople and the Black Sea area, and areas of Turkey, messed up by the crusades (1099 to 1487?), but before that muslims and christians lived with each other peacefully.
So Eva when as far as southern Europe and seeked out Karin based on the Iron Maiden would be the 1800s, and very much catholic since roman catholic started in the 300s by Constantinople.
OK – my brain hurts — can’t believe I still remember dates…
oops Constantine — not the his city or Constantinople
I’ve always figured Karin was Catholic due to the mystical nature of the character, and the fact that in Negima, it was the Catholic church (unnamed) who were involved in magic stuff. There are other franchises like that, where Catholicism is basically another kind of magic user branch (at least, among the priests and such).
Just start the freaking tournament already.
Heh! It might start next week (doubtful), or in a couple of years. 😉
Here we go. Now Its Kirie x Touta arc.
The harem continues. We will get to see another advanture of Touta and Kirie to save Mizore. Most probably we will get to explore Kirie past and how she come to have such hax ability.
And yeah Touta officially take Kirie’s kiss. She cant even turn it back. This ship is strong!!
Next up — Karin! 😉
Oh wait. Wasnt this Touta’s first kiss as well as Kirie’s? I hope you people who want pactio are happy now lol
Kirie is so old it would be weird if it was her first kiss xD
That is, if she is actually old. I don’t think she is that old, maybe 16. maybe 14. No basis, but they themselves never stated how old she was.
They’ve never stated, but there have been implications that she’s quite old. That could mean she’s been around a long time, or that she’s reset so often, it has been a long time for her. (Or both.)
That’s the implication though. That being said, Kirie has been a recluse until Touta showed up at UQH (or rather, that was the implication). Then she started getting involved more.
I’m not sure if it was Touta’s first kiss or not.
I hope this leads to this some Kirie backstory. We got a hint when Dana was identifying everyone’s fears and Kirie’s was “being alone”.
Do we know how old Kirie is? I suppose it’s hard to pin down since she can redo days over and over.
That would be awesome, but seeing as how Kuroumaru’s didn’t lead to her backstory, I don’t think we’ll get that. 🙁
Oh man…. Dejavu…It’s like ChisamexNegi all over again. Chisame did attempt to made a pactio with Negi unconciously. Now, them?!? (Eventhough it was an accident.) ^^;
Yeah, something like that. Now will we see other girls getting to snog Touta? 😛
Well, the Japanese fans are going to love this!
It’s become To love-Ru.
😆 I still haven’t seen/read that franchise.
I agree — lots of fan-service the last many chapters. Makes me wonder if there is a ratings test going on to see the numbers of how many are reading the manga, and I wonder if its remotely related to the recent arrests.
The kiss appears that it wasn’t deliberate or intentional, and from the hints – it was accidental, the result of something else. Yeah a kiss is a kiss, but not sure if its the start of a more romantic chase for Kirie, but then again, she’s a adult in a child’s body, and she hides her interest in Tōta. I also always wondered about the Kirie save point, and how things would change if that point was interfered with — and if she dies, she is really gone for there is no new save point, or does she go further back to the last successful save point– I guess we’ll find out. The backup would be to ask Dana for help – she can go anywhere in time too and if she is willing to help.
I’m curious of the 300 Million yen that disappeared — it would wipe Kirie out financially, and will affect Senkyokan financially too. Probably another attack on the group, but this time from a different direction.
The parallel of series is getting more pronounced – the Karin protecting Eva, like Setsuma protecting Konaka, Asuna and Negi like Kuromaru and Tōta…. and the Love Hina style interaction situations.
I hope the story moves forward — there are more characters that hasn’t appeared as yet, that has to at least be introduced.
I don’t think it has anything to do with the arrests. I do think this is an attempt to pull UQ Holder up, since it isn’t as popular as Negima or Love Hina.
I think the story will continue to be random in whatever Akamatsu-sensei feels like writing about.
All you all got any translated spoilers for “Yotsuba! 13”?
Heh! Unfortunately, no. I’ve not even read scanlated chapters for the material after volume 12. ^_^;
Also, I just got 48, the last volume of “Oh My Goddess.” As with ANB I think everyone should know about this beautiful, historic manga.
Yeah, it is good on the whole, though it did drag for a while before the final arc. 🙁
One more also: Picked up Vol. XII for “Gundam, the Origin.” This terminal volume has the usual fantastic, hand-drawn graphics by Yoshihiko Yasuhiko, a satisfying end to the many plot-lines for all the characters, and what I think is a very appropriate destiny for that geeky, whiny, stuck-on-himself lead, Amuro. Yeah, he can fight extremely well in the gundam, but only because he’s a new type — he can anticipate, instantly, his opponent’s next move. Anyway, he gets limbo-ed off into new type Lalah land. He was supposed to appeal to all the geeky sixteen-year-olds anchored to their PC-pacifier and probably did, but as a quasigeek myself I never took to him. He’s a petulant coward. By the author, Tomino’s, design. I breathed a big sigh of relief that Fraw Bow didn’t end up married to him. And Sayla is now the Queen of Gundam World. Hurray.
However, as width “Negima!” the real story isn’t about him. It’s about the whole space culture depicted so terrifically by Mr. Yasuhiko. Using all the great secondary characters the author’s and illustrator’s message is that humans can’t help themselves; we will always go to war against each other with tragic results. This epic work drives this postulate home with explosive effect. New types were supposed to stop this infinite loop, but that’s just a ethereal and beautiful pipe-dream, which this manga insists can be viable.
The afterwords contain a lot of conversation between Yasuhiko and Makoto Shinkai about the mechanics of their artwork. Great stuff.
Thanks for the info on this. 🙂
I get the impression this arc is part of show casing each of the possible girls who could be Touta’s one and only. Not members of harem. Eventually, after Kirie had her turn trying get close, they’ll likely go thru the two new girls that came to the resort. Then next story twist.
I hate cliff hangers but i hate more so where it goes no where but leaving us hanging. I want the story move on.
I’m thinking after Kirie, Karin will be next, ganged up on by Kuroumaru and Kirie (with them possibly getting assistance from Eva).
Just speculating, but the hints sounds like its explaining Kirie doing something very quickly, as if she’s already knows what is going to happen, and has cycled time a few times, but this last time the new reset point is destroyed, kissing Tōta and leaving Mizore frozen.
