Kumeta Kouji trolled Akamatsu Ken's approach to using UQ Holder as Negima's sequel, using Tonikaku as an example: https://anime.astronerdboy.com/2018/...uq-holder.html

"If Tonikaku doesn't get popular, (Hata) can (just) bring out the Hayate characters...and make them appear in cameos (throughout Tonikaku)...(If Tonikaku gets popular again) they'll stay as part of the main cast...(and he'll rebrand the series as Hayate 2)...he should've just written Hayate 2 to begin with!"

Apparently Kumeta has a reputation for being Akamatsu's eternal enemy (unknown if staged, like actor Matt Damon vs US talkshow host Jimmy Kimmel.)

(IMO Akamatsu wanted to do a new manga, but either had regrets about how Negima ended or was too tired to try engage a brand new audience with a brand new story. So he decided to kill 2 birds with 1 stone, do a new title but rope in the existing Negima fandom by using the previous manga.)

PS. This is not an excuse to stray from Tonikaku discussion itself.
