UQ Holder Chapter 2 Review

SPOILER Summary/Synopsis: 

Yukihime does a practice battle with Touta, that he loses. She senses that he'd be good at martial arts and suggests teaching him things like the shundo (shundou) "instant move" maneuver, but he's not interested since he only trained to fight in order to defeat Yukihime and go to the tower. Instead, he has a different dream, but after talking around it, he won't actually tell Yukihime what it is, annoying her.

Touta asks if he'll be able to return to school. She reminds him he'll be stuck in a 12 year old's body, but school isn't impossible. He asks about his voice changing and is horrified when he learns that won't happen. He starts asking about other aspects of aging -- going bald, getting fat, gray hair, etc., and is devastated because it means his dream seems impossible.

After fleeing down the road, he comes upon a village, where on the outskirts, some kids are at a broken down street car, picking on another kid. Touta sees the kid is working on an old moped. The kid isn't impressed, more so when Touta admits to not being a mechanic. However, Touta does know how to fix the bike because he had a mechanic friend.

The other kids from the village are spying on Touta and the kid as Eva shows up with them.  When Touta learns that the kid is aiming for the tower like he is, he praises the kid, leaving the kid to address him as "senpai." Touta fixes the moped, which is a flying moped, and it words. Touta knows the other kids are nearby, so he calls them out. The kid takes the moped and shows off impressive skills with it.

Touta learns the kid's name is YUUKI Shinobu, who's dream is to participate in the Solar System Olympics held at the top of the tower, specifically the Grand Race. Touta reveals that his friend's dream is to be a singer and sing at the top of the tower, and Touta's dream is to be a backup singer for his friend. The kids find Touta's dream more impossible than Shinobu's, but Shinobu believes that dreams should be followed.

There was a person known to Shinobu, who would tell Shinobu stories. This cargo pilot encouraged Shinobu to not give up on the dream of getting to the top of the tower. Shinobu hasn't heard from him in ages.  The kids scream for Touta to sing, so after he blabs for a while on never giving up, he agrees to sing. He sings and Shinobu is impressed, but he flubs it in the end, causing the kids to tease him. He says he'll get better, but then remembers his voice won't change.

One of the kids accidentally starts the moped, and somehow, Shinobu instantly arrives on the bike. Shinobu flings the kid off and goes off the cliff, so Touta catches Shinobu, allowing the bike to crash into a rock. The fall should have killed them, but Touta kept them alive and realizes that being immortal isn't all bad. Shinobu recognized the song Touta sang earlier, and the two agree to meet at the top of the tower.

Eva drops in, telling Touta that if it weren't for his immortality, he'd be dead. Touta doesn't recognize Eva at first, then he's shocked that this is his Yukihime. Eva uses one of her age-changing pills to resume her Yukihime form, teasing him because she saw everything.

Later, after saying goodbye to Shinobu, Touta and Yukihime leave. As they continue their journey, they have a discussion about Touta's dream, where Yukihime says that he's an idiot.

Thoughts/Review:

And so loli-Eva returns, along with Shinobu from Love Hina.  ^_~

Touta's dream is rather silly, but it is fun seeing how Eva deals with this. Plus, I love the idea that Touta isn't interested in getting stronger, unlike Negi from Negima.  I also loved Touta's looking at certain negative aspects of being immortal, something most folks would never consider.

I've no idea if Akamatsu-sensei making Shinobu look like Shinobu from Love Hina, right down to using "senpai" (and "Touta-senpai") to address Touta, is more than a tribute or not. I find it interesting the Shinobu is NOT assigned a gender in this chapter (unlike what you may have seen in the first unofficial release of the chapter). Shinobu may be a girl, but I'd laugh it Shinobu turned out to be a boy.  Shinobu is being set up to return later, so we may learn more then.

Eva's return as her regular self was cool. The raging debates I read earlier in the week had me laughing my butt off. I'm really puzzled by the hatred of Eva's current look. So, she lost the bangs and is attempting to not look like the wanted little girl or young 20-something woman, choosing to look like someone older, more mature. Frankly, I like Eva's look, and she hasn't lost a step either. The ambush from last week was just that -- an ambush.

It is also interesting that Eva had not revealed her true self to Touta yet. It was a good opportunity for her to do so in this chapter as it gave her a chance to openly observe Touta and allow him to be himself without realizing he was being watched by Yukihime. I wonder if Touta will try her age-changing pills down the road.

Despite clocking in at 42 total pages (with the two 2 page spreads), I find there's not a whole lot to talk about. Then again, I am out of time and need to get this ready for posting. The chapter being mostly filler with some humor and discussions of Touta's dreams don't leave a lot to analyze.
