UQ Holder

TBF my opinion stated on UQ is similar as to with Negima

Its simple. Most people who have read Negima, find it worth remembering. Its that simple.

Latest chapter, UQ Holder #143 is out. I know there's not a lot of interest in the series as a whole right now but this latest chapter was great.

Let's just say that the route the anime went was less than pleasing.

And oh boy, at last, it seems that things are truly going to get serious.

To be fair to Mizore in this las episode, 'fulfilling her desire for Negi on Touta' is the type of thing she'd do.

Isn't Replacement Goldfish one of her defining character traits?

I'm starting to wonder how much Akamatsu was influenced by Halo here. The collapse of the tower would've essentially wiped out the city districts directly beneath it and dropped support rings to the ground at terminal velocity probably all the way across central Japan.

Honestly, ten thousand casualty figure is fucking light. That's not calculating any other lifters that may have been ascending, the poor schmucks now stranded in space in the upper half of the tether with no power and thus no life support, the untold hundreds of thousands if not millions in the district below the elevator, and the probable tens of thousands more wherever those support rings come down.

I'm really curious as to who Touta and company will have to fight in order to prevent the missile from going off. They would have to be strong considering the number of protagonists we've got going up there.

Hmm… I haven't read this series in like 2 years, but I stumbled upon the latest chap… Kuromarou reveals the truth of their body to Touta, Touta realizes Kuro's feelings for him are romantic, and after being flustered for a moment he pactio-kisses them and Kuro apparently decides she's fine with becoming a girl after all. Also, Chamo's there for some reason…?

Man a lot seems to have happened since I stopped reading. >.>

Wow, I haven't though of this series for a long time now.

I guess the pendulum swung back to Kuromaru being Touta's love interest again. Akamatsu really flip flops on that.

I might've binge the chapters I didn't read for a laugh, since I think by now I've more far enough from all of this not to get angry anymore.

The amusing part is: this chapter? I read it because it was placed just before chapter 108 of AOT. Jumping from magical romcom shenanigans to dark political drama isn't good for my neck.

Wasn't UQ Holder a dark, gritty series tackling serious problems?

I've been following UQ Holder for a while. The latest chapter was great in terms of character progression; I was worried when I first saw the spoiler pics that it might have just been a dream but I'm glad that Kuroumaru actually revealed the truth to Touta and Touta reacted to it maturely.

Here's hoping the next chapter continues with plot progression and more good character moments.

I'm really really really confused about this series ._. Like everytime I randomly decide to check what is happening in last chapter its like "Da fuq is going on, holy crap lots of stuff happens in this"

The Karin focus in the recent couple of chapters is very much appreciated.

And the flashbacks are showing more of the lore of the world than I expected.

Hoping that by the end of it Karin gets a kick-ass Pacito artefact. Hopefully something unusual and extremely powerful.

It's rather sobering to realize that Evangeline, as fearsome as she is, is a mere knockoff when compared to a real High Vampire.

I've tried to pick this up again, but stopped after they killed one of the only interesting characters.

Given the nature of the series, I doubt they'll be staying dead.

Also, it is crazy that Eva was so much weaker but this was Eva about 600 years ago, so she's bound to be weaker than her prime.

So, Akamatsu stated he thinks he's going to end Holder in the next two or three years. So that leave roughly 36 chapters, give or take. Good luck tying up this mess Akamatsu, you're going to need it.

He makes a sequel to UQ thats a bigger mess, obviously!

You joke, but he probably will.

36 monthly chapters should be more than enough to wrap up UQ Holder and the main storyline.

Chapter 156 is out at Comixology. Hoo boy, it's something alright.

Is that a good something or a trainwreck something?

Well, I wouldn't say it's a trainwreck but basically (big spoilers): Just about everyone has gotten a Pactio with Touta now including Santa. Some of these kisses / moments took place over a couple pages, a couple were offscreened - the two male Pactios of course. Even Kirie got in on the action but instead of doing a kiss, she and Touta had to press their stomachs against each other for three hours in what could only be described as a very lewd way. There is even a scene of Touta picking up Kirie and walking around the base with her pressed to his stomach. Fortunately they did this in stopped time so nobody else had to see it.

Man, Akamatsu's art is as good as ever. Really makes it a shame what he did to the series, I say, for the latest repetition of my broken record impression.
