Is Ken Akamatsu currently working starting a new series or planning to release
a new one this year?

I understand that _Negima_ ended some time ago. A mangaka's gotta eat, after
all.

What manga is Ken Akamatsu currently working on?


He _is_ working on a new manga series (name unknown) which is apparently
scheduled to begin some time this summer. It was originally set to be released
in spring. As noted in the article linked below, he has stated that this will
be his last series; he plans to retire after it.

New Update- Ken Akamatsu's new manga is named [UQ
Holder.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UQ_Holder!)

Set in the same universe of his previous work Negima! Magister Negi Magi, but
over 70 years later, it follows the adventures of a young boy who is
transformed into a vampire and joins a secret society composed of immortal
beings.
