Here is the first SPOILER image from the upcoming UQ Holder chapter 27, courtesy of the VERY gracious Southrop. (My review of the chapter should come out Wednesday.)
UQ HOLDER CHAPTER 27 SPOILERS
The UQ Holder chapter 27 goodness begins.^_^
Guess who’s coming to dinner? ^_^
Back in chapter 18, I did make this wish.
Completing my fantasy of how things should go, I’d love to see Eva arrive, then send are jolly three Powerful Hand members into a kind of personal hell that only she could deliver.
Then in 24, I had this wish.
I’m hoping that after this part of the story is resolved, Eva is brought back into the story to give us more information.
I made similar remarks in comment sections. So, looks like my wish is coming true. Eva is showing up. Now, what she does next (whether it be to get involved in a fight with Nagumo
Well, naught to do but wait for the chapter to come out. I’d like to express my continued thanks to Southrop for sharing these awesome images. Not notes this time out as he says there’s no need for them.
Update #1: The Chinese scans are out. I thought I’d toss one image from them to show that my thoughts about Touta battling any and all foes wasn’t far off the mark. ^_~
Still, Mama Bear cometh, and I’m just looking forward to her going nutz! ^_^ Too bad her appearance is at the end of UQ Holder chapter 27, meaning we’ll have to wait for her goodness to start happening. Can’t wait to read that. ^_^
So, to recap, Touta is a Magia Erebea empowered young descendant of the Springfield family with a mysterious origin, who hangs around with an angst-ridden Shinmeiryuu, fights a hot blooded lycanthrope who later develops a respect bond with him, meets a spirited young nun named Kasuga, and when it looks he’s about to lose, Evangeline shows up to bail him out–
Remind me, why is Akamatsu just not continuing Negima instead of wasting time recycling this pastiche?
*lol* That’s the question.
If I had to guess, I’d say that he wanted to tell certain stories about immortals, but felt saddled by the characters in Negima. So, he does a spinoff-sequel, creates some knockoff copy characters, then without the baggage of the Negima characters, but with the interesting world of Negima, he tells the stories he wants to tell.
wasn’t there something about him wanting to self-publish and ending Negima early to start J-Comi?
He’d already started J-Comi while Negima was still being published. Indeed, he brought his own Love Hina into that site as it was out of print in Japan.
I wrote a piece on what I think is the real reason Akamatsu-sensei stopped Negima.
Part of it probably is also that the publishers were basically trying to strongarm their mangaka into accepting extremely disadvantageous terms. He was on of their most vocal opponents on the new contracts and negima became a casualty of the “you do it our way if you want to print it” fighting as Akamatsu just gave them the middle finger and hung up the towel. I don’t think he could continue publishing Negima in a different magazine because of contract terms.
Yeah, I agree. Even if Akamatsu-sensei has the rights back to Negima, he may have contractual obligations that prevent him from publishing it elsewhere.
Why yes, let’s bring in Eva instead of giving Kuro a fair shot. Let’s not have Kuro and Touta actually struggle and battle a oppoenent more skilled then they are, lets not let them use their wits and actually try and take down their opponent. Let’s not bring in a new member of UQ Holder instead of Eva riding in to save the day for a third time.
Sometimes I wonder why I bother with this series. Only way this can be salvaged is if Nagumo can actually oust Eva, but…yeah, it’ll either be cheap or the moon thing again.
Well, while it was my wish to have Eva brought back, I suspected she would be once we got the Negi and company, including Eva, flashback. While she may indeed be used as a dues ex machina, she’s also the logical choice to find out more about Touta and try to make that character more interesting.
Good point , But I doubt that even if Kuromarou returns there , She wouldn`t make any change , She already got her butt-kicked by both , Nagumo and Kaito.
As for Nagumo owning Evangeline , Really doubt it , LOL !
I want to see Eva bring the pain. I really do.
You know what they call people like you? ” never satisfied .”
Three chapters before you were probably one of those who thought ” beerk is no Tota is too powerful he wins all the time this manga is lousy ! ”
In the previous chapter you’re probably told you , “Oh but I ‘m sure Tota will STILL have a power-up miracle and beat Nagumo ”
And now when the author has decided to fulfill your prayers not to Tota a Gary -Sue you may say , “If is zero, we do not allow kuro Tota and use their minds to escape Nagumo and back Eva instead of another member of Uq -Holder ! SIGN sucks! ”
Pffffffff
Frenchement I feel to restore aec someone commende the dish of the day, he does not stop criticizing the entries and when finally the dish of the day arrives, the server submits a good spécialitée the restore that would salivate all gourmets Earth . And the client I menge answer me: “was overcooked you do not know how this dish is prepared ” as he has never cooked in her life !
In this case I’d tap the point on the table and answer the client with whom I menge : ” You can do better go ahead tomorrow, I come to you , but I want a meal worthy of a palace not the crappy food? found in a supermarket . ”
I am commended man the same dish and I am satisfied, Astro too. Think you do better now ? takes u crayons draw your own manga and will submit it to a publisher in the U.S.. But do not criticize then you’d probably unable to make a small part of the work of Sensei as I am unable .
In truth you want to go into the history TON sense, those who are satisfied with what you actually ? Like me or Astro ( in fact, we FINALLY managed to reach agreements through this chapter , the story could FINALLY start ^ ^ ) ru going to tell us that there is only you who has to be satisfied?
When we do not like a dish or food you say ” I personally do not like it but I recognize that others may love ” and not ” beuurkk is yucky , frenchement this dish are worthless ! ”
Frenchements then I think you’re exaggerating !
What do you think astro ?
We all have our opinions. Yours isn’t any more valuable than his, just as it is the other way ’round.
Finding two people on the internet who COMPLETELY agree on something is basically impossible. And it’s good that way. Homogeneity is boring after all.
I was thinking there was a 50% chance of this happening.
I’m glad Eva is entering the fray. I’ve been wanting her to be involved for some time now, as I mentioned in the post. From a story perspective, Eva’s the logical choice to carry story elements forward, including Touta’s.
That being said, I did think that Akamatsu-sensei might have Touta pull a rabbit out of the hat, after which, support from UQ Holder would arrive. I did believe that Eva would be brought back into the story at some point in the near future to help flesh out Touta’s character, but I wasn’t sure if it would be now or later. Now won. ^_^
Evangeline enters the battlefield , It`s about to go down folks !
I bet it will in the chapter after this.
Mom is not amused, there will be blood and flying limbs and hell to pay!
*lol* It should be a delight to watch.
Lol it says the saviour of worlds have arrived!? In the corner of page… Would that describe negi more than Eva?
Yeah, but someone had to pick up the mantle once Negi was dead.
Kinda hard to believe the dark evangel, apostle of darkness, the puppet master and the famously known undead magi would be a world saviour… I still imagine ppl running in fear at the mention of her name
I think they still will. ^_~
Ah, but years of working with Negi and company “corrupted” her, as did her two years of being Touta’s guardian. ^_^
Meanwhile in the moon…

Photoshop under linux…. It’s possible!!! XD
I’ll have to check that when I get home. It is apparently a forbidden “personal storage” website at work. ^_^;;;;
I wish Eva will fight in her loli form so that Nagumo’s reaction will be like, “WTF!? It was YOU before!?” (0_0 )
Heh! That would be fun.
