The last chapter of UQ Holder! is set to drop within only a matter of hours and we’re all eager to see how it ends. It does not look like it will be able to satisfy many questions left open from both UQ Holder and Negima, but we will only know once the chapter releases.

How have you enjoyed the manga up to this point? Are you still reading or have you since dropped this title? What would you like to be answered in the end? Who will Touta end up with?

Let us know your thoughts on the series and be on the look out for the last chapter!

Negima is Getting a New Chapter!

You heard that right! After nearly five years since Negima came to a sad end, it was announced that Negima! is getting an additional chapter come March 15th, 2017 in Weekly Shōnen Magazine Vol. 15. School Rumble is also receiving an additional chapter in the same volume!

It’s a one-shot story, but it’s definitely cool to see the series make a return outside of UQ Holder.

The chapter has finally been translated! You can read the 8-page short right here!

Negima News: New English Translation of Negima Bonus Chapter!

There's something we've been working on that we are so glad to bring to you all today! In 2017, two series would receive bonus chapters bundled with a limited version of volume 15 of Shonen Weekly Magazine. These series would be Negima and School Rumble. Included were mini 8-page chapters. While we do not usually provide scans of chapters on this site, due to this chapter never making it outside Japan, we decided to make an exception. Further more, as of 2021, we went a step further and funded an English translation! We are absolutely thrilled to finally bring you an English translation to this chapter! You can read the entire 8 pages right here! We will do our best to provide translations to more content in the future! If you would like to help us out, please consider donating! All donations will go directly into funding translations for Negima and UQ Holder content. If you can help translate, please drop us a line! What do you think of this chapter? What would you like to see translated in the future? You be sure to let us know!

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! Who do you think will be the strongest in Class 3-A?

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!
