Manga creator Ken Akamatsu hinted on Twitter on Thursday that the previously revealed anime adaptation of his UQ Holder! manga will have a television broadcast and original anime DVD ( OAD ) release in 2017.

UQ Holder! is set in the world of Akamatsu's Negima! Magister Negi Magi manga, and takes place years after the earlier manga. The story centers on a boy named Touta who dreams of leaving his small town and moving to the city. However, he must first defeat his teacher, the immortal Evangeline.
