Not as easy to use at mangashare or onemanga, but it works.

I hope my reaction doesn't spoil it for you! ^^;

Its alright, I'm a huge spoiler lol. And thanks, I just finished the chapter right now on my phone. And Kanda is getting on my nerves (sorry if u like him), and I like Allen too, he is an awesome protaginist (sorry I don't know how to spell that lol). I loved the Earl's reaction when Kanda stabbed Allen lol. I think I love the Noah family way more than the excorcists especially Tyki Mikk, I LOVE him hahahaha xD
Overall, the chapter was alright, I was just hoping to see Allen in Noah form before the chapter ended...I also wished it went back to weekly instead of monthly :(

Man, I had such high hopes when it went monthly. And I keep waiting for it to make sense again. I KEEP WAITING. Kanda backstory--so much potential awesome! Sssseemingly wasted. *weeps* *tears hair*

...And okay, Kanda clearly did most of that in some kind of alternate brain space, and now he's snapped out of it and has the expression of a guy who just woke up from a nightmare. Which is why I still have hope that this arc can be saved. PROBABLY THIS HOPE IS FUTILE, but.

...

...At least it still makes more sense than Reborn? Okay, that's not really any consolation at all. o_O

*hugs*

I know, I know!. T_T

The Kanda backstory was heartbreaking, and I really didn't mind the overly long flashback because it was going somewhere! At least.... it felt like it was going somewhere.

Kanda spending this chapter in "alternate brain space" I can buy ¬¬ sort of

But Allen's behaviour made no sense to me.

It made sense for him, at the end of last chapter, to stop Kanda from destroying Alma. Allen's crazy like that.

But he went through so many mood swings in this chapter @_@ Why, you crazy crazy boy, are you trying to have a conversation with a batshit insane AKUMA!!??!!?!?

Maybe it was the art that threw me - but he seemed disproportionally angry at Kanda - and just... AAAAARRRRGGHHHH THIS CHAPTER! WHAT.

The one moment, the one moment when Allen really felt like Allen to me was right after Kanda stabbed him and he did his "this-is-how-I-smile-when-I'm-in-pain" and said it made no sense to him. You and me both, Allen, you and me both ( ... )

It's like she had the Kanda backstory worked out long, long ago. Maybe back before she LOST HER MIND. So it was an island of awesome in a sea of wtf ( ... )

I have to admit, I kind of loved the zombie arc. Partly, I think, because in my head it feels more like a side-story than... actual canon... plotiness.

And it was such delicious cracky madness. Oh Allen. And the robot. *giggles* &hearts

Yeaaah, the Noah. =_= Well... Tyki Mikk is attacking Fo. But yeah... >.>

On the other hand, they are generally chaotic evil, and seeing as they don't actually need to do anything because Kanda and Allen are fucking each other up all on their own >_< they could just be enjoying the show. The freaky mind-control one certainly seems to be doing so.

What was weirder was when Road was practically comforting Allen in Kanda's flashback.

I don't even. What.

Don't worry about the art, though. It'll be different by next month.

ORZ

That... mostly the art is awesome and shiny and really good, it just...

It gives DGM a lack of... cohesiveness. And affects the feel and the atmosphere and the tone and... it doesn't feel like the same story, sometimes. Which makes me sad ( ... )
