On the one had a decent cool off chapter that pretty much confirms Kirire​ is going to win the Kirito-Bowl but oh my days is that a lot of Kirire in a state of undress :psyduck:

Though I kept imagining Jinbei's Switcharoo skill using the pop sound DBZ Abridged uses for Goku's instant transmission and it gets like a ton funnier.

Guys, find a woman who looks at you the way GhostStalker looks at every bald, obese, single 58 year old accountant from Tulsa who managed to win $4,000 by not wagering on a Final Jeopardy triple stumper.

Sasuga Akamatsu. Going back to his roots and poo poo. Chapter is super lewd, but best pairing still wins. Even Eva is aboard the ship and got it to sail, pretty much.

Also, RIP 4th Wall: "Just because we're monthly now doesn't mean you can spend 5 pages on a dirt dream" -Kirie. Holy poo poo, Dead. :pusheen:

Also, apparently according to a translation of an insert from Akamatsu from Volume 12 of UQ Holder that was linked and posted on the /a/ thread where I read this chapter, Chisame was the one who won the Negibowl. Or at least the one that Negi was crushing on and whispered to Asuna when she asked who the winner was at the climax of that lovely last sports festival arc thing we got in Negima. Fair enough, I totally ship it and it was one of my preferred pairings for him.

I can't say how trustworthy that is, but that would be nice. It was one of the few relationships built on mutual respect instead of thinking Negi was cute.

This is apparently the text of that blurb from UQ Holder Volume 12 and a translation (link goes to a tumblr, so take it with a grain of salt, but I've seen it pop up in other Holder discussion threads, so that lends some confirmation):

Also, the /a/ thread has an image of a scan of the passage in question, if you can read moon. Not gonna link it here, because y'know, 4chan, but one can probably find it easily enough with some searching.

Eva is not my poo poo in this series. Yukihime is, though, so clearly I've got mixed feelings on the whole thing.


Kirie is cool, though. So destructive, to herself and others, it's a good bit.

I think Kuro decided that they'd rather be bros with Touta at least until they decided on their gender. Makes the most sense to me.

New Chapter is up https://www.heymanga.me/manga/UQ_Holder/136/1 (For some insane reason Crunchyroll hasn't actually put the chapter up there, so there's a temp link to it)

(No, Ken, confirming that Kirie is 19 doesn't fix everything).

I dunno, its weird having the entire harem plot resolved, so I can only assume this trip will result in Touta's memories getting wiped or some other bullshit to restart the harem stuff. I'm guessing Ken just really likes the Kirie/Chisame character because they're practically the same character and both of them win.

I just have this feeling that the panel where Kirie questions how Touta wouldn't know what sex is is probably more relevant than it looks - like this will turn out to be a clone of a clone with imperfect memory and isn't the real Touta just so Akamatsu can "reset" the plot.

I'm guessing in Ken's Persona 5 playthrough he just got everyone to Confidant level 8 and then did nothing until the end where he leveled Futaba up to 10.

The only thing I could think of during the scene where Kirie is explaining how babby is made to Touta is the old F/SN doujin meme strip where Rin trying to same thing to Shirou and he doesn't get it. At least Touta gets it somewhat after her explanation, unlike memetic Shirou.

Karin had some great expressions at the beginning of the chapter, to say nothing of Kirie's.

Nice to see some familiar scenery from Kyoto again, including what looks like the torii gate procession where Negi fought Kotaro for the first time back in the Negima Kyoto trip.

Wonder who the person in the last panel is though. Guess we'll find out next month.

Assuming you mean Honoka's dad, it looks way too young to be him, since he was already old in Negima. Probably someone connected with the Kansai Magical Association or Shinmei-Ryu though.
