Review: Most likely going to be my new favorite series. - I have been excited to see how this series was going to turn out for awhile, and when I got this in the mail yesterday and blew through it I found out that this series is off to a magnificant start. I started reading Negima after I read Love Hina when I was like...14 or 15 and followed it all the way up to the magic festival arc but i put it down because, well, I just forgot about it (releases were taking too long) and other series like Naruto and One Piece had captured my eye. I STILL havent finished Negima because im following the Omnibus editions as they are released, so right now im at the really good part of the series, but I picked this up anyways because I have always believed in Ken Akamatsus ability to make me like his storys ever since Love Hina, and because I have grown to love the world that he has built in Negima. Reading the first chapter was really quite amazing, ive never been pulled into a story so quickly. I dont want to spil anything about this story because its really unique, but basically you have this boy named Tota (who is Negi's grandson, all you need to know right now) who grew up in the countryside away from the fast-paced world of the big city who has a longing to climb to his highest (in a literal sense as well) and achieve great things and, well, basically make a name for himself. Thing is hes really vague about his dream but its still cool because the overall concept of chasing your dream is definatly well covered here. Anyways, this story is set in the same world as Negima, just in the future, and its a really cool concept too. Its kinda like Megaman, most people just live in this giant city structure that sits outside of the planets atmosphere so you can see it from just about anywhere, while very few live in the countryside in villages and towns and amidst the ruins of the old world. In a nutshell Tota finds out just how cruel and malicious the world can be and eventually sets out on what looks like a long journey full of awesome characters and epic battles. I dont want to spoil the story, but the overall theme seems to be the true cost of "immortality." I know, its kindof vague, but I dont want to muddle your concept of this great story before you read it. The fighting is REALLY good, it has all the good qualities that Negima had, and the fanservice, while still there, is thankfully toned down a little bit (but this is just the first volume after all) and it really makes the story more interesting to me. It seems like Ken Akamatsu has been trying the get away from the world of Fan-service/Harem to the shonen genre for some time now, and I do believe hes finally done it! Give this a shot if you like shonen style manga!
Review: Great Continuation of the Negima Franchise - The Negima! manga franchise had a really badly-written end due to some wrangling in the Japanese parliament. Basically, media industries over there want to have their companies gain greater control over the characters in their products as the comics' companies in the US have. Many authors, fearing loss of the creative control over their stories ended them prematurely. Ken Akamatsu, creator of Negima! was one such author. Therefore, he rushed an end to the series, which really upset fans as it just wasn't very good. After the bill mentioned above failed in the Japanese parliament, Akamatsu decided to revisit the Negi universe, this time through the eyes of immortal vampire Evangeline from the original series, and her ward, Negi's grandson Touta. UQ Holder! begins two years after Evangeline, now going by the name Yukihime, became Touta's guardian. Following some tragedy which everyone thinks was a car accident, Evangeline took Touta in and he lost his memories of before that point. This doubtless will become a major plot point later on. Touta has some big, but largely indeterminate dreams. They are really quite vague. He just knows he wants to go places, do things, sing, other stuff. Really, my description is not that far off how vaguely he himself describes his dreams. At first, Evangeline doesn't want him to leave the small rural town where they live, but events change that. Those events are Evangeline having no choice but to sire Touta as a vampire to save both their lives when he is nearly killed by an evil bounty hunter. The newly-vampirized Touta saves the day, but now is an immortal vampire. They decide to leave town and start anew somewhere else where folks won't know their secrets. Somewhere they can have peace from those who would want to harm vampires and other immortal people. Thus the adventure begins. This is kinda fun to see the two characters play off of each other. They are such opposites. She's a really old female vampire, and he's a young, brand-new male vampire. She is jaded and tired of immortality, while he thinks immortality is great. She is gruff and stern, with a hidden heart of gold, and he is kind and very trusting, but can be very tough when the need arises. Each one really is what the other needs. This dynamic between the two, and allies they meet along the way, is at the heart of the story. It is what makes it worth reading. Oh, it has lots of action, and, in the beginning, probably too much gore (though that stops quickly enough to a typical shonen level). But that's not what makes the story so riveting. Their familial bond of love does. It is quite funny and heart-warming all at the same time. Highly Recommended. ----- A quick note about the title. The letters “UQ” are translated from the Japanese kanji for the word meaning “eternity”. The title UQ Holder! literally means Eternity Holder, which refers to the main characters' immortality.
