Summary
Mahou Sensei Negima! and its sequel UQ Holder! are shonen manga written and drawn by Ken Akamatsu.
Negi Springfield is the new homeroom teacher to class 3-A; the most surprising aspects of him being that he's 10 years old and secretly a wizard. Various harem hijinks ensue which gradually evolve into a full shonen adventure series as Negi can't help but pick up martial arts techniques and advanced magical fighting skills.
Set several generations after the events of Negima, UQ Holder! follows the adventures of Negi's grandson; Touta Konoe, a young boy who is transformed into a vampire and joins a secret society composed of immortal beings. Touta, like his ancestor, has many exciting adventures and inevitable harem hijinks.
Power of the Verse
Negima is a diverse series containing wizards, ninjas, cyborgs, time travelers, ghosts, aliens, demons and vampires all mixed together to give a variety of abilities and powers. The top characters vary from City level to Moon level+, with the Vampire Nobles even reaching Planet level to Large Planet level. The speed ratings for most of the top tier vary from Sub-Relativistic+ to Relativistic, with the higher rating being for a light spirit and an attack from another character, both reaching the Speed of Light.
The verse has a range of hax abilities, most of them derived from magic, that include Illusion Creation, Space Manipulation, Time Manipulation, Time Stop, Gravity Manipulation, Immortality, Invulnerability, Intangibility, Possession, etc. As UQ Holder is still ongoing, there is the likelihood that the series will continue to grow in strength.

Terminology
Pactio: A pactio is a magical contract used by many mages in Negima and UQ Holder. It is a full ritual forming a pact between a mage and a follower, usually sealed with a direct kiss. The Pactio System has two components comprising it: The Magister Magi and the Minister Magi, the master and the servant. The traditional purpose to this system is to give the Magister support during battle. Normally, the Ministra's duty is to protect the Magister, while the Magister is given time and space to cast offensive and defensive spells. The proof of a pactio contract is the Pactio Card; a card that can transform into a magic item unique to the attendant. The original card created by the ritual is kept by the mage, while attendants may be given a copy which has the same functions as the original. Thanks to the Pactio Card:
- The mage can provide the attendant with mana through the card
- The attendant can draw mana from the mage if he’s somewhat unable to fulfill his role (however, as this is different from the mage controlling his own mana supply, there will be restrictions on the usage of the mana)
- Master and servant can both talk to each other through telepathy.
- The mage can summon his attendants to his side, with a maximum range of ten kilometers.
There are two types of contracts: Temporary Pactio (that can be cancelled at any point) and Formal Pactio (that will cancel any existing temporary contracts; this type of pactio is often done by lifelong partners/married couples)
Artifact: The mage can bring out the power within the card itself, in the form of an Artifact. In addition, this draws out the attendant’s own hidden abilities. This does not mean simply physical and mental strength, but the ‘potential for power’, their origin and growth, responding to the fate and destiny of the holder – in short, giving an attendant an magical item that fits them personally. By saying the magic word Adeat, one can summon the Artifact. To turn it back into a card, one just needs to say Abeat. As words carry Mana by themselves, even people who are physically unable to use magic will be able to summon their Artifact.
Magic App: Magic apps are a recent development that came about from the reveal of the existence of magic in the early 2070s in the UQ Holder timeline. These applications use a Manaphone and Managlove to allow the user to utilize pre-programmed magic spells with little-to-no prior experience.
Unique Skill: Unique Skills are mystic skills that cannot be learned or taught. They are thought to be greater or equivalent to magic. These skills are quite rare, with only a few users being on Earth and less than 20 in the entire Solar System.
Mundus Vetus: Also known as the old world, it is the planet Earth.
Mundus Magicus: Also known as the Magic World or Inverse Mars, it is an alternate world based on the planet Mars, existing as an overlapping existence on its surface, that was created by the Mage of the Beginning 2600 years before the beginning of the story, during the Age of the Gods.
- Bellum Schismaticum: The Great Schism; the Great War of Mundus Magicus. During this war, a group of evildoers was manipulating both side in the shadows, deceiving and leading the world astray for their own interests. These people were no other than the infamous secret organization "Cosmo Entelecheia". This war came to its end with the sacrifice of the Royal Capital Ostia and of the destruction of this organization. The ones who exposed the truth and saved the world from its downfall in the last stage of the war were Nagi Springfield and Ala Rubra.
Demon Realm: Over twelve thousand years before the start of the series, there was a highly advanced civilization on Venus, who used their enormous magical and scientific knowledge to search for absolute immortality. They were so advanced that they had ships capable of interstellar travel. The civilization was ultimately destroyed in apocalyptic civil wars, reducing Venus to an inhospitable wasteland, with the survivors banished in the Reverse Side, a hellish alternate dimension born from the planet where might is the only rule, that became known as the Demon World, or Inverse Venus. The few who managed to obtain true immortality through intelligence and skill became the ones known as the highest class of humankind, the Vampire Nobles.
