The Law of Ueki PLUS (うえきの法則+, Ueki no Hōsoku PURASU) is a Japanese manga sequel to the manga and anime The Law of Ueki written and illustrated by Tsubasa Fukuchi. It was serialized in the weekly manga magazine Shōnen Sunday. The series has ended with 46 chapters which compiled into five tankōbon volumes that was published by Shogakukan.
Plot
Two years after the tournament in The Law of Ueki, Kosuke Ueki is now a 3rd year student in Hinokuni Junior High School. For some reason, everyone in the real world has lost their memory of their most important person, including his friends who participated in the tournament two years ago. Ueki is the only one unaffected, and is fighting in order to restore everyone's memories. He follows a little sheep named U-lu (wool in English) to another world called Hangekai where he meets new companions and gains new abilities.
Hangekai
"Hangekai" (繁華界) was the original dimension that split long before humans populated it. Hangekai remains the same, whereas the mirror dimension which was spawned by the splitting was additionally split into "Heaven", "Hell", and the "Human" world. Both Hangekai and the mirror dimension where Ueki originates are on equal footing of development and characteristics. But the "Human" world's 1 year equals to 100 years of Hangekai, which means earth spins fully around the sun equals to one year but Hangekai is 100 years. And it also means some parts of Hangekai are 100 years advanced than the "Human" world.
The currency of Hangekai is Roude (R). One Roude is equivalent to one Yen.
Power used in Hangekai
The powers that exist in Hangekai are known as "Job Powers". Every power user in Hangekai needs an "Item Seal" on his or her right palm which stores the 'item' they need to do their 'job'. As an example, a janitor would have a broom as his item stored in the seal on his right palm. Once the item is sealed, the user can summon it anytime they please. While all Job Power Users can summon an item and use it how they wish, they cannot necessarily use the item at its full capacity. In order to achieve this, the power user must have the willpower and need for this - perhaps in extenuating circumstances where one's life is on the line. If the user is able to achieve it, a Chinese character will appear on the user's left palm which represents a new way in which they can apply their job power.
- Job Power Seals
Job power users can have two tattoos. The tattoo on the right palm is called the "Item Seal", and is used for sealing the item. The seal on the left palm is called the "Effect Seal", and determines an effect the power user can apply on his or her item.
- Job Power Users
Job power users are divided into two categories: Job power user and "HanJob" (ハンジョブ) or half-job power user. The difference between the two is that half-job power users can summon their item, but have not yet acquired an effect seal.
