The hit shonen adventure continues, with a major anime series coming soon, into the far future, beyond the finale of Negima! Ages 16 and up. GAME OVER...CONTINUE? After detecting unusual activity on Pluto, the UQ Holder numbers rush to the scene, only to fall straight into a trap. An immortality-negating attack wipes out the UQ team and permanent death seems inevitable. But not all hope is lost. Gengoro’s strange video game-like immortal powers may provide UQ a second chance as well as a guide on how to beat Ialda’s minions on hard mode.

REUNITED AND IT FEELS... After reuniting with his friends, the large gap in Tōta’s memories is filled when he’s told what really happened after Ba’al’s forces attacked the orbital ring. And with a blessed respite from being hunted by Ba’al’s elite demon hit squad, Tōta is able to take some time to reconnect with his beloved friends and comrades. Some allies that were thought lost are found and the wounds created by Tōta being absent for over 40 years are healed with immortal love.

THE LONG FALL 43 years have passed since Ba’al’s terrorist attack that derailed UQ Holder’s plan to defeat Ialda. Tōta has recovered most of his memories, but still can not fill in the 43 year blank that haunts him. Though he desperately wants to find out what happened to his friends, he must first survive being hunted by Ba’al’s powerful minions. Without his powers or immortality, can Tōta escape Ba’al’s forces and reunite with his UQ Holder comrades? And are there even any members of UQ Holder left to reunite with?

TO THE TOP AND BEYOND... After Tо̄ta defeats the Fushi-Gari targeting Kurо̄maru, the Shinmei reveal a big secret. They have located Ialda and also calculated when she will activate her ultimate spell, Cosmo Entelekheia. With this information in hand, the time has come for UQ Holder to finally confront Ialda and end her for good. Once the final preparations have been made, UQ Holder will depart from the top of the tower to Pluto. Tо̄ta will finally achieve his dream of reaching the top of the tower as a fleet of spaceships await to take UQ Holder to battle. However, his dream may become a nightmare...

Tо̄ta and Kurо̄maru are on a date! Is their partner-ship about to blossom into a romantic bond? Sadly, as the two confront the nature of their relationship, they are rudely interrupted by the Fushi-Gari, immortal hunters from the Shinmei. In order to complete their preparations to destroy Ialda, the Fushi-Gari must perform a ritual that requires Kurо̄maru, and Kurо̄maru’s own brother is among those leading the hunt! Kurо̄maru’s immortality is at stake as Tо̄ta faces off against an entire clan devoted to destroying immortals.

The battle with Ba’al comes to an epic conclusion as UQ Holder’s most powerful members, The Numbers, all finally come together! The time has come to take the fight to Ialda, but can the UQ Holder Numbers succeed where two generations of legendary Springfields failed? The Numbers make a bold move towards taking down Ialda and Yukihime faces an emotional reckoning with Tо̄ta!

Le clan des chasseurs d’immortels a transformé Kurômaru en sabre divin. Terrassé pour un temps par une attaque anti-immortalité, Tôta finit par évoluer à un stade supérieur et vole à la rescousse de Kurômaru. Grâce à son nouveau pouvoir, il localise son ennemi Yolda Baoth, le mage du commencement. Il ne reste que peu de temps avant la fin du monde. Pour les membres de UQ Holder, l’heure de la bataille finale a sonné !

Après avoir vaincu Baal, le High Daylight Walker, les membres de UQ Holder s’offrent un temps de repos bien mérité. Tôta invite Kurômaru à passer une journée avec lui pour se détendre mais, soudain, ils se font attaquer par un clan de puissants chasseurs qui considèrent les immortels comme leurs pires ennemis !

While Nikits occupies Tota, the Senkyokan comes under attack. Jinbei and Juzo put their relationship to the test as they face off in a fight to the death. Can Jinbei defeat Juzo’s 800 years of sword mastery to awaken his friend from Ba’al’s control? Clashing with the boy he once saved, Jinbei reveals the true nature of his Switcheroo. And, at a climactic moment, Tota arrives just as Dana–his old master–appears out of nowhere. She may no longer be the teacher he once knew… The UQ members must unite to face their greatest battle yet!

A flurry of pactios and bombshell revelations seem to have things looking up for UQ HOLDER. The team is united in trust and strength, and appears to be closer than ever behind Tо̄ta’s fearless leadership as they stare down one of their most intense battles yet. But nothing is ever as simple as it seems, and as they look out towards the next battle, their enemy may in fact be closer than they think…

Après l’attaque de Jûzô Shishimi et de Shichijûrô Nanao Septo, les numéros de UQ Holder doivent affronter plusieurs vampires pure souche menés par Baal. Les immortels contre les High Daylight Walkers ! Un combat d’une ampleur sans précédent est sur le point d’éclater !

The hit shonen adventure continues, with a major anime series coming soon, into the far future, beyond the finale of Negima! Ages 16 and up. IN ONE'S FOOTSTEPS After travelling all the way to Kyoto, Tōta and Kirië finally track down Nagi's old workshop, where they meet Albert Chamomile, Negi Springfield's old partner. There, Albert shows Tōta memories from Negi's past, including an alternate timeline of how Negi's life would have been if Tōta didn't exist. Tōta watches from the sidelines as a decisive battle unfolds between Negi and Nagi, and finally sees firsthand the overwhelming power of the two mages that came before him.

THE SEARCH FOR ANSWERS After their showdown, Negi asks Tōta to follow in his footsteps. The request brings Tōta and Kirië to Kyoto in search of an old workshop owned by Nagi Springfield, Negi’s father and Tōta’s great-grandfather. But uncovering the workshop isn’t such an easy task, and with Kirië struggling over her conflicted feelings for Tōta, the trip might be more than the two of them can handle.

« On va décrocher une fin heureuse à notre façon ! » a déclaré Tôta après avoir été témoin d’un futur alternatif où tout se terminait bien pour Negi et Yukihime.

Mais Cutlass sait manipuler le temps, et lui tenir tête ne sera pas une mince affaire...

In einer Welt, in der Magie und Hochtechnologie miteinander verschmelzen, träumt Touta davon, eines Tages im obersten Stock des gigantischen Turms in der Hauptstadt zu stehen.

Eines Tages wird Yukihime von einem Kopfgeldjäger angegriffen, wobei Touta tödlich verletzt wird. Bevor er ins Jenseits eingeht, bietet ihm seine Lehrerin an, ihr Blut zu trinken. Die Folge: Touta wird ein Vampir! Da sie nun in ihrer Heimat nicht mehr sicher sind, begeben sich die beiden Unsterblichen auf den Weg in die Hauptstadt – und damit in unzählige zum Schreien komische und actionreiche Situationen à la Ken Akamatsu! --- Dieses spezielle E-Book-Format kann auf allen aktuelleren Tablets und Geräten mit Zoomfunktion gelesen werden.
