Line 7 ⟶ 6:
The series is set in the year 2086, several decades after the events of ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' and ten years after magic is revealed to the world. Tōta Konoe is a young boy who is mortally wounded by a bounty hunter coming after his guardian Yukihime's life, who reveals herself as a vampire and saves him by transforming Tōta into one of her kind. Tōta discovers then that Yukihime is none other than the legendary vampire and magician Evangeline A.K. McDowell and joins her covenant of immortal beings, the secret society known as "UQ Holder".
{{
{{tropelist}}
* [[Ambiguous Gender]]: Tokisaka Kuroumaru, who is pretty and strong. Claims to be male, while having these strange feelings of attraction towards Touta (of course). {{spoiler|Is actually from a species that chooses a sex at adulthood, so it's still not clear where he's going to end up in the end.}}
* [[Attractive Bent Gender]]: When Kuroumaru [[Cross Dresser|Cross Dresses]], naturally he's super cute in a dress. Kyaaan~!
Line 18 ⟶ 17:
* [[Big Beautiful Woman]]: Dana Ananga Jagannatha, Witch of the Rift. She's been around long enough that big is still beautiful to her, though if she splits off a bit of her self, the clone turns in to [[Buxom Is Better]], [[Lolicon]], and [[Chibi]] forms.
* [[Breast Expansion]]: Dana decides that Yukihime doesn't have large enough breasts, and magicks her breasts up to [[Gag Boobs]] proportions. This is important as a plot point, to show that Dana has enough power to force her magic against even Yukihime.
* [[Buxom Is Better]]: As Yukihime, Evangeline spends most of her time in adult form these days with a decent
* [[Cloning Blues]]: {{spoiler|Our protagonist, Touta}} goes through this when he finds out he's a clone for a few chapters, but he gets over it pretty quickly.
* [[Chekhov MIA]]: Negi Springfield. We all knew he would show up eventually.
Line 35 ⟶ 34:
* [[Love Confession]]: Touta does this to ''Yukihime'' of all people (see [[Idiot Hero]], above). He gets turned down pretty hard. A few chapters later, he eats a [[Haiyore! Nyaruko-san|truth potion chocolate]] and goes around telling all of the characters he loves them.
* [[Luminescent Blush]]: Most of the girls and [[Even the Guys Want Him|some of the boys]] do this for Touta, but none so egregiously as Kirië, whose entire face lights up when thinking about a guy she is definitely not in love with, not at all!
* [[Long Runner]]: If you include it as a part of ''Negima'', definitely, but even this story is over 100 chapters.
* [[Magic Kiss]]: Kirië's [[Accidental Kiss|Accidental]] [[First Kiss]] with Touta unlocks a new power for her: [[Time Stands Still]]
* [[Macross Missile Massacre|Magic Missile Massacre]]: Touta can't cast spells due to his makeup, but people sure these cast spells on him. Complete with [[Roboteching]], of course.
* [[Marilyn Maneuver]]: How do you prove you can [[Time Stop]]? If you're Touta, you lift a skirt.
* [[
* [[Memetic Sex God]]: In the decades since Negima, Negi's status has risen such that he is said to make a woman fall in love with just a single look.
* [[Metaphysical App]]: The story is set in an era where magic and technology have advanced to the point that people can use a program to perform magic without the need of either training or talent.
* [[Mysterious Parent|Mysterious Grandparent]]: Touta's Grandfather, Negi.
* [[New Neo City]]: A single panel in chapter 111 offers up "Shin Tokyo", "Baru Jakarta", and "New Sydney".
* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]: Different types even within the story. Touta is a vampire/{{spoiler|clone/doll}}, Evangeline's vampirism came from a magical experiment, and Dana is one of the great old ones.
* [[
▲* [[Tenchi Solution]]: Not proposed yet, but lurking in the background, both for Touta, and what happened to Negi.
* [[Tournament Arc]]: The Mahora Martial Arts Tournament is billed as Touta's ticket to the top of the [[Space Elevator]], but put on the back burner as he does a training arc, then a romance arc, and then a racing arc.
* [[Trope Overdosed]]: Fill out the page, guys.
* [[Tsundere]]: Kirië Sakurame, lolita subtype. She does a lot of blushing one moment and kicking Touta the next.
* [[Save Point]]: This is Kirië's superpower
* [[Space Elevator]]: A central feature of Shin Tokyo, a thin line that stretches to the sky. Touta's original goal is to reach the top of the elevator, but he keeps working up a big debt from property damage that he can't afford to do it.
* [[Science Fantasy]]: A [[Science Fiction Kitchen Sink|kitchen sink]] of tropes from fantasy and science fiction, with magic and high technology blending in the next century.
* [[Wacky Racing]]: The flying speeder race, made even more wacky because [[It Makes Sense in Context|there are three Touta clones competing]]. Clothing-removing magic is allowed, which is all somehow OK because future AIs can blur the naughty bits in real time on live broadcasts.
* [[World Tree]]: The giant tree from Mahora Academy is still there
* [[Yandere]]: Sayoko, oh so much. {{spoiler|The world laughs at us? Wait until they all die from my zombie bioterrorism! That will show them how much I love you.}}
