'''''UQ Holder!''''' (later titled '''''UQ Holder!: Magister Negi Magi! 2''''' <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.cc//daily-briefs/2016-10-07/uq-holder-manga-adds-magister-negi-magi-2-subtitle/.107381|title=UQ Holder Manga Adds 'Magister Negi Magi 2' Subtitle|date=October 7, 2016|website=[[Anime News Network]]|accessdate=October 8, 2016}}</ref>) is a manga series by [[Ken Akamatsu]]. Set in the same universe of his previous work ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'', but over 70 years later, it follows the adventures of a young Touta Konoe, a boy who is transformed into a vampire and joins a secret society composed of immortal beings.
 
{{nihongo|'''UQ'''|ユーキュー|Yūkyū}} stands for {{nihongo|'''悠久'''|||"eternity"}}, the kanji that entwines inside the UQ logo, which alludes to the immortal nature of the characters.
 
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".

* [[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 38:
* [[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.
* [[TenchiMarry SolutionThem All]]: Not proposed yet, but lurking in the background, both for Touta, and what happened to Negi.
* [[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.

* [[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.
