Great chapter. Seems like the plot is moving on now that the 14th has awakened.
It's a sad thing though, that for the sole purpose of waking up Neah, Kanda (and Alma) had to go through all that. -sigh-
But as a final thought on the past arc, I refuse to believe Kanda is dead. Maybe the "Exorcist" is dead, but Kanda isn't. He's way too important and loved to die.
That picture where Kanda is leaning against a pillar with his eyes closed and Alma in his arms does not mean he is dead. -cough-
As for Mugen rusting, I wonder what's up with that? :0 Though I don't know the reason, I think it's the same case of Cross' Judgement. Just as Kanda, I refuse to believe that Cross is dead. That man might be of even more importance than my favourite character, not to mention there are way too many questionmarks surrounding him. I would love to know more about his relation with Mana and the 14th and about the 14th in general. It can't be a coincidence that at the moment Allen says that he wants to learn more about the 14th, the 14th starts to move. Hm, yes, it's all very interesting.
And what's with the Cardinal? @_@ The Heart is finally mentioned again... But I don't believe that the "Heart" is Allen or Lenalee, or anyone we know for that matter... (well, anyone of the obvious ones).
And I'm also very curious about what's going on with Bookman and Lavi. I'm dying to know about the first heir of the Bookmen which was, judging by Lavi's reaction, completely new information to him.
Can't wait for the next chapter. >3<
PS: Jeryy, I love you! XD;
PS2: Link, you're awesome. XD;
PS3: Dead or not, Kanda should have been on the colour page. :V
PS4: What's with all the negativity about the artstyle for the last couple of chapters? I liked it. ovo" Kanda looked good. Allen and Lavi looked best in the Arc Ark though. :3
