However despite all of that, I was severely disappointed with the adaptation. The main character has a goal: Get to the top of the tower and it’s his journey through life to reach that goal that which drives the story forward. Like many shonen battle stories, this one is pretty straightforward. Tota ends up joining their ranks, but he must prove himself first. His journey is averted when Evangeline is revealed to be the leader of an organization called UQ Holder, which gathers the strongest immortals in the world uses their abilities to serve the public. His goal is to climb the tower in the heart of the city and thus embarks on a journey to do so. After an attempt is made on Evangeline’s life, Tota discovers he is an immortal. Tota lives in a remote village with his foster parent Yukihime who turns out to be Evangeline A.K. He is the grandson of Negi Springfield, the main protagonist of Mahou Sensei Negima. The story of UQ Holder centers around an immortal boy by the name of Tota Konoe. I have a physical set of Love Hina and I have read Mahou Sensei Negima (although I actually haven’t watched the anime adaptation.) When I saw he was releasing a new series, UQ Holder, I was immediately on board to read it. This time around, I was already familiar with the source material thanks to me being a fan of the author, Ken Akamatsu. I’m, typically, the type of person to watch an anime and if it does a remarkable job of connecting with me, I’ll go and read the manga. This is one of those rare instances where I have been a manga reader first and an anime watcher second.
