Aaaaand finally caught up.
Very interesting story arc so far, though I'm glad I read it all together instead of one a month. Kanda's past is just so mortifying.
I'm not sure what the art shift is that people keep talking about though... I just read all the manga over the past month or two, and didn't notice much difference at all... >_> Same with the tone and style, though this last arc has been more depressing than usual. At least there are still humorous moments, which I've always liked in this series.
This series really needs to go back to being weekly though. It's going to take years to do this story arc. I mean eventually Allen's going to get out of Kanda's and Alma's memories, and there will be a fight with reawakened Alma (I'm assuming). Plus there's all these Noah, Level 4s, and the Millennium Earl there, plus the Fourteenth trying to take over Allen (I'm assuming). I frankly don't see how Allen and Kanda can handle all this, though I suppose they could get more backup as is usually the case in this series.
