UQ Holder! Story and Art by Ken Akamatsu Chapter 1 & 2
Review
Tota and his friends plot an
ambush of their teacher. Their reasons for doing so are simple: they are told
if they beat her they may go to the capital. It appears their teacher is a
magic user; she has deeper secrets than this however…
Serialized in the shonen (boys’)
comic anthology Weekly Shonen Magazine, UQ Holder! does little to establish
itself apart from the many shonen battle manga. That’s not to say the story is
bad per se. It has some creativity put into it and it has a decent funny bone.
However, the plot is predictable with a plot twist which could be seen from a
mile away.
The character designs are also
not terribly distinct especially for the genre. The supporting cast is also
terribly underdeveloped for what time they have on-page. All-in-all UQ Holder!
Really is not worth the readers’ time unless
you really enjoy the shonen battle genre. Skip it.
Rating: 6/10
