Raws outIt's not a flashback chapterI repeat it is NOT a flashback chapter

>>283372268That was the link available
I might or might not dump it I dunno gimme a bit I need to do a thing or twoAnyways how are you guys? I just caught up again last week
>>283372055>Who is that mysterious man in bed at the end? It couldn't possibly be...Impossible! Could it be….
>>283372352I forgot everything again and probably need a tl;dr.I swear this only happens to this manga and Blue Exorcist.
>>283372352I forgot everything, and need a reread.
one thing done, I'll give you guys the title
>>283372492Chapter 256 title is>終わりを見届けるは>Owari wo Mitodokeru wa"to see the end with one's own eyes" or something like that
Isn't this is the author who canceled the anime because it's too homo for her taste or something? Based.
>>283372557No, that wasn't what she did.She threw a tantrum because of a magazine promo poster of Hallow (which was very homo).She had no problem with the anime itself.

>>283372016This issue also came with an illustration card of Kanda
the more I read the latest chapters the more I feel like the story is just wandering aimlessly
I saw some comments saying this chapter confirms that Cross is a Campbell
>>283372631>Tim Jar
>>283373981never go to sleep without it
>>283372908Cross's real name: Cyrus Van Cambell
>>283373894>>283374150Cross is probably a relative of the Earl and 14th.
>>283373272it's heading towards the end, so maybe about 10 years left
>>283374177it's not probably. >>283372908>Master.. was Nea and Mana's family?
>>283374213Thanks for the translation. My guess is that the woman who adopted the Earl and 14th was his mom or sister.
>>283374184At the pace the writer's going, I can't see the story ending in ten years. I hope it does get completed.>>283373272Story has been aimless since the Mana= Earl reveal, honestly. The writer probably has a way of making that make sense, but I feel like a lot of problems would have been avoided if Mana had been the 14th, even if it was the most predictable outcome.
>>283374256>your imouto fell in love with the fucking Earl of Millenium and got 2 fucking Noah babies must felt horrible

I should reread this soon so i can remember what's going on
>>283374321More like Mana=Earl or not used to be the main discussion here, but now that it was confirmed, after that we haven't been able to tell what to expect next as the manga showered you with more questions than answers
>>283374860Yoshida, Hoshino's first editor, drilled into her head the importance of a woman's beauty when she intended to design Lenalee with short hair
>>283375497Forgot to mention, Yoshida did it by sending Hoshino a shitton of women magazine until she yielded
>>283375497The moment Yoshida was gone, she did it anyway
>>283375511is this the reason why she had a naked woman drawing sticking on the wall of her desk
>>283375599what? where?
>>283375497DGM was the most homo when she returned to Yoshida's arms
What is Johnny is here for, again?
>>283372016It's still running? I remember catching up at the phase 4 fight and shit was intense but it became such convoluted weirdness with constant breaks and a confusing new art style that I lost sight of it completely. Does it reach manage to reach it's old greatness or is it not worth the time to read up on it anymore?
>>283375968To be an Allen worshipper.
>>283376016i guess it depends on what you like? there hasn't been much in the way of fights
>>283375640
>>283376369i got so distracted by the figures i didn't even notice the drawing lol
>>283376369>moved with all those must have been hellish
>>283372525>At this point Johnny has been a main character for more time than Lavi and Lenalee were Grim times friends.
>>283372776Cross sexo
>>283372776>This is where you will meet your end>where Allen Walker will disappear
>>283377649Lavi's back though so there's hope
>>283378458>from the chair to the bed
>>283372936Is Lavi still suffering from the worms
Give me a rundown of what's happened since Kanda's CF arc. I don't get the impression much has progressed with the story.
>>283379691"CF"?
Quick, the pasta, and summon all 7 people still reading.
>>283379730Childhood friend. The arc with the pyramid thing.
>>283379799the stuff with alma?oh you missed quite a bit actually, allen's a fugitive getting hunted down by the order especially this walking murderous innocence that takes the form of a cardinaltim campy's deadand stuff about who allen's adopted dad is
>>283375257The schizo aspect doesn't help, who or how many are lying, how much of what we've seen isn't real?And we've got to deal with the noah's 'fuck you god' plan, are all of them delusional? Did it really happen?
>>283372055>levi is finally backHow many years passed since we saw him in the manga the last time?
>>283379909there was that bonus chapter earlier this year that showed little lavi seeing past bookman jr
I can't believe that Lavi and Lenalee have been less relevant than Johnny for... 10 years????
We still don't know how Allen was able to turn Mana's soul into an Akuma right?? Because at that point Mana already merged with the Earl suit?
>>283372864>Garter Belt.It's the quiet ones that are the most sexo.
>>283375968>>283377649Johnny is serving as Allen’s proxy to his Order friends. To remind him of what to come back to one day. When Johnny grips Allen’s hand tenderly, Allen sees his order friends through him. Literally this chapter he sees Lenalee. Hopefully we will be spared from this elevated extra one day.
So what's the tl situation around here? When do translated chapters drop?
>>283380442it taks some days usuallystrangely, it doesnt't have stimulpub
>>283372016This is still going on?
>>283382684It's never going to be finished because the author very likely doesn't have a clear plan how to finish it in reasonable time
>>283380442This chapter is kinda wordy so I won't do it, sorry
>>283380367Unless we see him die on panel I'm not confident in this waste of space not hogging up screen time for the rest of the manga
>>283372936Cannot believe this.
Pasta NOW
>>283372016>Stone mask on the 2nd pageDamn, Cross was foreshadowing the Innocence Stands with Maria, lmaoAt least the chapters is saved with Lenalee and Cross panels, I almost vomited seeing focus on Johnny again.
>>283372979He must have used THAT
Why os Johnny such a fag?
>>283372936I hope the brought supplies with them!
>>283379851The schizo isn't even that bad when re-reading, but what fucks up with the series is that we get fucking breaks when chapters have mostly 7-15 pages each.With quarterly release schedule you would expect at least 40, preferably 60 pages each chapter.Meanwhile we get 40-60 pages a year.
>>283385619did it work with Sakura at least
Trended
>>283386220She seems pretty happy
Seeing Lavi back and Lenalee in that flashback really made me realize how horribly Hoshino has treated her main cast ever since the manga went monthly.
>>283386889I’ll never understand what she saw in Johnny to make him Allen’s constant companion. All he does is dribble over Allen. Pathetic.At least we had a good stretch of chapters with Kanda, but then they fucked off back to the Order and we got back to traveling with Johnny’s gay ass.Having Lavi back brings hopes, but we are pending the Nea flashback still which could hold us up for another year or two. Bleak.
>>283387148>All he does is dribble over Allen. Pathetic.this was literally the reason
I never thought we'd see Lavi again
>>283386317Makes sense given Lavi's back.
>>283387148The idea had potential, it was just badly executed, and certainly not worth sidelining Lenalee and Lavi for years for.
>Why doesn't Lavi simply hulk his way out of the worm coma?
>>283372936gracias, anon.> not a flashback chapter> cute lena lee frame> lavi appeared, at least his corpseI still don't understand the plot and forgot 80% story, though
>>283388828He has sweatdrops so not a corpse
>>283388794The dreams too good
>>283388828>I still don't understand the plot and forgot 80% story, thoughI've given up on ever trying to keep up, maybe if she ever finishes it for good
>>283377226She's rich she just got Brazilian slaves to do it for her, likely to fuck her too sicne she's a femcel that lives with her mom.
I'm astonished that this manga is still going. Props to the author at least for putting it that he can, when he can.
>>283374860All of them but Lucia are sidelined or dead sadly.
>>283375583It's fine, no one liked her with short hair, so Hoshino had to backpedal on that.
I'm just glad we jumped straight to the mansion.
>>283391023but how short was hoshino allegedly talking about here? >>283375497 maybe the complete chop was just an excuse to grow it to the original length she wanted?
>>283385744>we get fucking breaks when chapters have mostly 7-15 pages each.i've been looking into that and that actually isn't truefrom the old sq.crown to now, hoshino has only missed 3 and a half issues, 2 of those were back when the magazine was still sq.crownin 10 years dgm's only been absent from these issues>sq.crown autumn 2016>sq.crown spring 2017>sq.rise autumn 2022>sq.rise winter 2025* (*this issue had the bonus chapter 253.5 with little lavi)as for page count, the past 2 years has been:>ch.246 = 23 pages>ch.247 = 36 pages>ch.248 = 12 pages>ch.249 = 27 pages>ch.250 = 15 pages>ch.251 = 35 pages>ch.252 = 25 pages>ch.253 = 17 pages; ch.253.5 = 11 pages>ch.254 = 31 pages>ch.255 = 17 pages>ch.256 = 31 pagesi still have more to go with searching for page counts, but that's what it's been since winter/january 2023 when ch.246 released
>>283393395>>283385744>Meanwhile we get 40-60 pages a year.adding that up that means2023 = 98 pages 2024 = 92 pages2025 = 90 pages

>>283393153She mentioned she wanted to return her hair to her original length, so there's that.
>>283393483Half a volume of manga a year is wild. What exactly is the reason for such a slow pace? Health issues?
>>283396306at some point, hoshino fucked up her wrist on her drawing hand, i don't know if it was an injury or hoshino being unlucky enough to start getting early carpal tunnelthat might be what caused that two-year hiatus

Wikipedia has some references but they're from her Weekly Shonen Jump days, but I'll match them up with this publication chart i've madeShe got sick in November 2005, causing the almost 2-month break between ch.68 and ch.69>https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2005-11-07/d.gray-man-manga-ka-illShe was then injured in February 2006, which caused the 3-month break between ch.75 and ch.76>https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2006-02-24/d.gray-man-on-hiatus-againHer TOC comment when returning mentioned her neck>https://www.comipress.com/news/2006/05/31/186She apparently got norovirus too but that only caused her to miss a week in December 2006 (between ch.101 and 102)>https://web.archive.org/web/20081012091940/http://comipress.com/news/2006/12/17/1175And then November 2008 is when the wrist problems happened, which caused the almost 4-month hiatus between ch.178 and ch.179>https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-11-16/hoshino-puts-d-gray-man-manga-on-hold-due-to-healthWikipedia has a Spanish article from January as part of their references>https://web.archive.org/web/20091218091749/http://edicionesglenat.es/asp/noticia.asp?pid=447Hoshino would publish 8 more chapters before going on hiatus again at the end of April 2009, then randomly publish chapter 187 in Akamaru Jump that August where it was also announced that DGM would transfer to Jump Square that NovemberThey don't have a reference for what caused that 2 and half year hiatus from Jump Square that led to the transfer to the quarterly magazine though
>>283397158Oh wait, wikipedia mentions>In 2013, she was the original character designer for Valvrave the Liberator by Sunrise, making it her first original work on an anime as well as her first new work since D.Gray-man.The break from Jump Square began in January 2013... Maybe that's why the break began, but then something happened to her that extended it into a much longer hiatus?Apparently she also published a one-shot in April 2013>https://natalie.mu/comic/news/89732
Anons, I downloaded a magazine issue to check on something wikipedia said and when looking at the files I saw small Lucia...>picrel
>>283397927I don't think it's a flashback of her either
>>283397945Wait, maybe it is?
>>283397972I thought this was in reference to old panda-eyed Bookman after whatever happened between him and the Noah, but little Lucia would mean it happened in the past... right?Then what happened to old Bookman that he was unconscious and being taken care of at the Campbell house?
>>283372016I'm surprised this manga managed to STILL outlast every other manga that came out before and ended within a few years' time of its release. JJK, KnY, BNHA/MHA, Gintama, even Berserk and Dragon Ball's creators died before her manga could finish. It''s insane.Is Hoshino /our/queen?
>>283398134except one piece of courseone piece will outlive us all
>>283398478Not really, its really ramping up for the finale now. I'd be surprised if it's still around in 7 years.
>>283398674>>283398134>outlast every other manga that came out beforeone piece was 7 years old and on chapter 323 when dgm started>https://www.jajanken.net/en/issues/2004-06-14looking at the list, i guess we should add an asterisk for prince of tennisthat one ended in march 2008, but then there was a sequel a year later in jump square that's still being published>>283398674>I'd be surprised if it's still around in 7 years.because it will wrap up or because oda's not going to last that long?
>>283399118>there was a sequel a year later in jump squarelol that means dgm joined it later that same year that's kind of funny
What do you mean Hoshino decided to become a mangaka because of 9/11...>https://copic.jp/en/collaboration/katsura-hoshino/
>>283394360>>283394771the missing page hasn't been added yet... :-(
>>283399118Im taking into account Oda's shit health with those 7 years, i could see it ending in like 4 if he weren't to take that many breaks. I think it's finaly starting to end since he's finaly in the answering questions phase instead of the infinite questions and teases one.
>Hoshino sensei said on her livestream today that one of her assistants, who draws background, often look up DGM on Twitter to cheer up, by looking at tweets complimenting the backgrounds.
>>283400625thank you for your hard work, background-san, the wheat fields looked very prettyand was that today-today?
>>283400698yeah. She have started holding live stream after chapter release for a whileShe is very active on social media
>Someone commented : "There were a lot of information this time, my head was about to explode" and she answered : "Really ? I thought it was a funny chapter....">She had to draw Lavi's hair 4 or 5 times before getting right. His hair has grown. She tries to show how the Bookmen are similar because they share the same blood. Si her goal is to make them similar.>The monster Lucia destroyed is a rabbit. At first, she was going to draw a sort of maccho monster but she didn't have enough time so she drew a cute rabbit.>She tried to show how much the monster has Cross' DNA in it, everything is in the frills ahaha. The frills are Cross Marian's signature. She loved drawing this rabbit monster ahaha. We will see this rabbit monster again ahaha it's like Timcampy, it can regenerate itself>Golems have a something over their head, a sort of sign, and if you destroy it, the Golem stops. That is why Lucia attacked from the top.>She had a lot of difficulties to draw Lucia because she was wearing a long dress while fighting...she wished she had a miniskirt like Lenalee ahaha>Because she drew Lavi on the cover, she knew she had to draw Lavi in the chapter otherwise people would get angry, saying things like : why is he on the cover and not in the chapter ????>She drew the scene in which Link hits Allen because she knew her sister would love it (she is a Link fan). She was glad to draw Lenalee again but she realised she could not draw the same as before>Link hit Allen with his left hand, so he was not using all his strength ahaha>Her sister is nor forgiving Lucia because Link had to use his own lifespan to heal Allen because of her
>>283401204is that chinese on the bottom?
>>283401204Lmao.
>>283397158Man the hiatuses were bound to happen from the beginning.
>>283398478DGM will outlive One Piece too, it's nowhere close to the ending while OP is on its final stages.
>Yesterday, I got a message from my assistant (laughs).>You know, I’m not on Twitter, so I don’t know what’s happening there, and yesterday he contacted me. Usually, we don’t chat outside of work hours (...) but yesterday he sent me a message saying: “Sensei, Lavi is trending on Twitter!”>For this chapter, there are a lot of new backgrounds, right? So, my assistant in charge of backgrounds was working very hard this time. Especially since I delivered the final blow by asking him to draw that double-page spread (the one where they arrive in the field near the Campbell mansion). Of course, I was having a hard time myself, but my assistant was also struggling. So when he told me, “Lavi is trending on Twitter!”, I went like, “Oh, really?” and he answered, “I’m glad we worked hard.” (laughs a lot)>I’m not on X, and I try not to look up online what people say about D.Gray-man, but my assistant likes to see people’s reactions on Twitter. He often looks things up, especially when he’s having a hard time. He takes screenshots of tweets complimenting the backgrounds to cheer himself up.
>>283403511>Comment: Thank you for Lavi>Yeah, sure. You don’t have to thank me (laughs).>Maybe some of you have noticed, but in D.Gray-man, because of the passage of time and also because each character has their own reasons, their hair tends to get longer or shorter. For instance, until recently, Allen’s hair was longer, right? Or Lenalee, her hair has been growing since the time she cut it during a fight. Anyway, I’m the type of person who likes making their characters’ hair shorter or longer.>I think I’ve been influenced by Dragon Ball. Their hair changes, right? I love Dragon Ball, so I think it comes from that love.
>>283403532>Anyway, I don’t know if you noticed, but Lavi’s hair got a bit longer (!) Well, it’s a bed scene, so maybe it’s hard to tell... Wait?! Bed scene? (laughs) No, no, no, that’s not what I meant! He’s just lying in bed, ahaha. His hair got longer. And while drawing, I realized how difficult it was to draw Lavi with longer hair. I tried four or five times before succeeding.>Since Lavi hasn’t woken up yet, I think it’s hard to notice that his hair has grown. But I tried to show that it got longer, it was difficult.>If I make his hair too long, he ends up with the same hairstyle as Allen, but I don’t want that: it’s Lavi, he has to look like Lavi. I think I’m not used to drawing Lavi with longer hair, so please be kind in the future chapters (laughs). If you think it looks weird, just think, “Well, Hoshino is still struggling, ahaha.” Please wait until I master the technique.>So yeah, Lavi’s hair is hard to draw. When he wears his bandana, it’s quite easy, but when his hair is down, I struggle.>You know, in the Bookman clan, they share the same blood, it’s different from the Noahs, so when I draw them, I try to show they belong to the same clan. For the Bookman clan members, I try to show they’re part of the same family, that they have something in common, that they share the same aura. Well, Panda is a bit different, but yeah, that’s what I try to express in my drawings. For instance, their hair, even though each Bookman has their own hairstyle, I try to draw some similarities.>You know, I had decided a while ago that I’d draw Lavi for the cover this time, but I realized you would have killed me if I hadn’t drawn him in the chapter even though he’s on the cover (laughs). I was a bit nervous. I was like, “You’re all going to tell me: why is he on the cover but not in the chapter???”
>>283372016Oh, it's that time of the decade
>>283403552>My favourite panel is, you know, the scene where Link gives a strong blow to Allen’s forehead.>And the scene that I sadly had to draw very quickly and didn’t have much time for is the panel where Cross says to Allen, “Give me money.” (It’s a small panel after Allen learns that Cross is actually Cyrus.) I didn’t have time, but in reality, I wanted to draw Cross in a cool way. But I realized I didn’t have time, so it ended up becoming this sort of comical panel >Comment: I just love the fact that the first memory that comes to Allen’s mind when thinking about Cross is “MONEY.”Ahaha yes (laughs). In the storyboard, Cross was supposed to look cool, ahaha. But I realized I couldn’t do it, I was just so tired, so I drew it without thinking, in one go, without even making a draft. So that panel is a bit different from the others (laughs).
>>283403587>Comment: I love Lucia more and more.>Really? Really! Really? (laughs) I see... when it comes to Lucia... well... (laughs and says nothing, it’s suspicious).>And yeah, suddenly, Lucia started fighting, right? She’s fighting against a rabbit yes, it’s a rabbit (laughs), not a bear!>At first, it was supposed to be a sort of demon, that’s what I planned in my storyboard. But I couldn’t make it. I spent SO MANY HOURS on the last scene with Lavi that I didn’t have time to draw it. And actually, I’m pretty bad at drawing monsters. I tried to make it scary, but it didn’t work, so I asked my assistant what I should do, and he told me: “Don’t force yourself. Don’t try to make something scary. If you can’t, draw something cute. Draw something you’re comfortable with.”>At first, I was doubtful... but then I thought: Timcampy is rather cute. And since it’s Timcampy’s brother, it doesn’t have to be that scary, it can be cute.>But I needed to put a bit of Cross’s DNA in the design to show it was made by Cross. So that’s why I added a lot of frills. The frills are the proof that it was made by Cross (laughs).>Cross loves frills, remember how mad he got when his frilly shirts were destroyed by an Akuma? So yeah, he hates dirty things, and I realized he probably hates scary things too. It’s not his type. I think he likes fancier things. So, just before I started drawing, I suddenly changed the monster and made it a cute rabbit.>And look at its mouth, it’s a bit like Tim’s, right? When it opens its mouth, it has the same teeth as Timcampy. But yeah, everything’s in the frills. And I had so much fun drawing this rabbit, really! Its eyes are cute, they’re shining (laughs). And you know, when this kind of monster appears, someone always gets eaten, right? Well, it had to be Allen (laughs), but he got out safely (laughs).
>>283403604>And since it’s Timcampy’s brotherEl Hermano...
>>283403604>Also, do you remember Chomusuke? Chomusuke is an Akuma modified by Cross. Cross didn’t make her from scratch, he just modified her a bit. She’s a creation of the Earl, not of Cross himself.>This cute rabbit is the guardian of the house, and as Lucia said, it will appear again. It doesn’t die. It’s like Timcampy, it can regenerate itself. So yeah, it will appear again. But yeah, inside the Campbell domain, those are the guardians (laughs).>Also, some of you might wonder why Lucia attacked it from above. Golems have, on the top of their head, a function to stop them, a sort of spell. It’s on the top of their head; if you pay attention, you might see it, but you won’t be able to understand the words. It’s a kind of symbol. If you don’t destroy the spell, they won’t stop moving, that’s why Lucia attacked from above. But I didn’t need to explain this in the chapter, it’s a bit meaningless.>But fighting while wearing a dress... it’s so hard... I really struggled with how to draw that. If it had been a miniskirt like Lenalee’s, it would have been so easy. Argh, I wished she were Lenalee (laughs).>But I had a lot of fun drawing an action scene after such a long time, it was fun.
>>283403642>The only cool scene with Link was the one where he hits Allen’s forehead. But let me tell you, I put a lot of my soul into that panel. My sister is a big fan of Link. I knew she would be very demanding and that she would love that scene (laughs). I hope she’ll be happy.>I wish that panel will be used for merchandise (laughs).>I think the blow didn’t hurt Allen that much, ahaha. Besides, Link used his left hand on purpose to restrain himself. But I had already decided since the last chapter that Link would get mad after Allen woke up. Link is an ally of the 14th, so you might think he wouldn’t get mad at Allen for this, but still, deep in his heart, he cares about Allen, he just wanted to hit him (laughs). I just don’t think Link has realized how much he cares about Allen. Anyway, he ended up hitting him. I think it would have hurt more if it had been his right hand.>Aaah, Allen is always saying sorry... even my sister is mad at him, and at Lucia. That’s what she told me. She can’t stand the fact that Link used his own lifespan to cure Allen. She won’t forgive Lucia, ahaha.>Comment: I also love the fact that Lenalee appeared for a small panel.>Ah yeah, but you know what? I realized I’m not able to draw in the same art style as I did before. I tried to make it as close as possible.
Ah, the yearly "I have no idea what the fuck is going on anymore" DGM chapter.
>>283403642>But fighting while wearing a dress... it’s so hard... I really struggled with how to draw that. If it had been a miniskirt like Lenalee’s, it would have been so easy. Argh, I wished she were Lenalee (laughs).Well, that could be solved by, surprise, surprise, make Lenalee appear for real, but I guess showing Johnny is way more important.
>>283403760Lenalee is stuck in BO, literally. Unless BO decides to launch an attack on Cambell, she won't appear outside flashback
>>283403770they should call it in as the noah's lair lol
>>283403815they don't even know where it is
>>283403770Yeah, because Hoshino decided to remove her from the plot for some reason. She said in 2011 that she would have more chances to appear in the future and she's still missing, so it makes me laugh Hoshino complains about the random who glasses girl being hard to draw compared to the heroine of the manga she has been neglecting for years.
Hoshino's art style changed again
>>283403852>for some reason.because she is stuck with BOWe had two fucking arcs explaining why she can't go with Allen >the heroine of the mangaThat's Road Also, Lenalee is only good for her legs. After her brother drama got resolved, she is just an annoying cut board
>>283375077*this fucking guy
>>283403921>That's RoadLol no.
I am so sick of Johnny
>>283380106I don't know how many chapters came out since I last caught up, so I may be wrong, but you seem confused>how Allen was able to turn Mana's soul into an AkumaHe didn't, Earl/Mana must've just summoned one>Mana already merged with the Earl suitMana didn't merge with anything, he always have been Earl
>>283405376Anon, there's literally a scene in a volume 28 where Cross is shooting at the earl suit that's standing over Mana who was unconscious
>>283404807>Allen finally reunites with the old crew again>An Akuma rips Johnny apart>The crew bonds in mutual mourning of him, then moves onOne can dream
>Hoshino tried to make the Bookman clan similar to eachother.I don’t see the similarities other than the earrings.
>>283403921Typical Roachfag cope lol. Lenalee is the heroine of the manga, otherwise she wouldn't have been featured in the cover of the art exposition alongside the other main characters.
>>283372055HOLY SHIT REJUVENATED BISHONEN BOOKMAN???!!1!
>>283393483Jesus, at this point I would take LN with Hoshino drawing like 10 illustrations for each volume.
>>283401204kek>>283403532>I think I’ve been influenced by Dragon Ball. Their hair changes, right? I love Dragon Ball, so I think it comes from that love.Can't wait for SSJ Lenalee when she finally regains the long hair, kek>>283403552>I try to show they belong to the same clan. I mean, she could just give them those dark circles around eyes or longer ears like gramps. Using hairstyle is too hard, especially after the artstyle changed and many characters look almost the same.
>>283403852I really hoped for some clashes between BO and runaway Allen, forcing Lenalee to fight him (since there would be BO guys watching), myabe some other friends too, but at the same time the fights would end up being humanity anchor for Allen so he won't slip into Nea and/or ALLEN.Instead we have to stomach the parasite with glasses attached to Allen for no reason.I really hope that he will die soon.
>>283406116Call me Road, but that's my dream.
Not yet.
