The Earl wants to be close to the 14th?  Is this manga going yaoi?





Yeah, you've completely lost the plot. Somehow I severely doubt "staying by his side" was meant in a romantic fashion (omfg, Squick and No Yay). The Earl means that he will work with or for the 14th, instead of trying to kill him.



I really liked this chapter, the art style was a quirky mix of bold and gritty, and every panel demanded attention. I would have liked for Allen to join the Noahs! Everyone's been patiently waiting and hoping for it to happen!

----------------------------------------

                        Ok, I'll admit that I understood only half of what's going on here. It's all so confusing with the recurring characters whose names and roles I can't remember anymore and the poor drawings. What I do know is that Allen must stop both Kanda and Alma. A tall order but let's see if he can pull this off.

Too much unnecessary detail on the imagery---especially the background.

Makes objects hard to identify EWW

Goddammit, Allen. Always the moral compass. :|



I'm glad I'm not the only one having trouble telling who is who anymore. Other than that, I'll be happy when this is over so we can have a calming period between chapters (hopefully).



Kanda looked badass as always, thankfully.

Exactly, what about all the unanswered questions?

You'd be fine with not knowing what happened to Cross? >:(

Well this was a rather disappointing chapter... I thought it would be more "epic" but I was wrong. :c

sjdflsjd just go with the Noahs already, Allen!

It would be much more interesting like that!



I miss the old DGM. It was much more awesome.

Though I am liking this new art style of Hoshino. o:



Badass Kanda is still badass, that is good. c:

Awesome chapter imo but my only complaint is Kanda's hair wtf kanda

I don't mind the new art, I like how the characters look more mature than before. Everyone's reaction at earl's word was also fantastic. I want to know why he wants to stay by 14th's side, and I hope 14th appear soon. Even if I have to read the same page twice, it's interesting to figure out what's going on :) Some Tyki action would be cool as well. Overall love the chapter=]
