So...Finally the new chapter is here.Kinda short but pretty good in my opinion.

same here. finally we have normal action without crazy theories etc.

Kanda was very effective this time, even if I don't like him.



but I still worry about Lavi, no one want to find him. it's sad...

would not be surprised if he is Heart

now when you mentioned THIS...

Kanda is going after Allen together with Johnny, what a weird team.

People, you're gonna have to get use to Johnny. Hoshino isn't going to simply drop him because a bunch of people find him "annoying." Something tells me he's going to start playing a bigger role for now. I think the fact that he left the Order and went to such measures just to find Allen is admirable in a way. Allen is a dear friend to Johnny; wouldn't you all do the same thing for a close friend?



This was a good chapter, granted it was a little short and waiting a whole month makes it unbearable almost - but I don't mind. I'm sure Hoshino has something great up her sleeves for upcoming chapters, so I refuse to complain.



@Missy:

There was never any solid proof that Kanda died; he was only /implied/ to have since the rust found on Mugen. My guess is that he's been using these past few months to recover from his battle with Alma.

15 pages come on that is even below weekly standarts^^ Hoshino really dropped in quality since grayman went monthly and moved to sq.



She dropped in quality due to the hand injury. She was moved becaise she can barely reach monthly schedule yet alone weekly.



IMO, if she can't draw on schedule she should form a duo with someone and let the partner take care of drawing.

I actually like Johnny. His character is very different from most of the others, being weaker physically and not being an Exorcist or a Noah. Still he's got a strong heart and I think he is a good representation for general humanity in the way that Allen represents several different groups. Also I like Kanda's 'I'm not taking this shit anymore!' attitude. It'll be interesting to see the two of them work together...though I do wonder about Lavi...

Kanda is going to go look for Allen!



Friggen' awesome.

The chapter was ok though it was so short. But...Why did all of them forget about Lavi? He is their friend and they don't even remember him or wonder what's happening to him. I can't stand it.

Hand injury? You can't call a hand injury no more. Ether she has permanent damage on her hand or she's healed and she's just lazy. Still being injured doesn't cut it.

Anyone would have healed ten times by now.



Anyway chapter was fine for what it was but yeah not much happened.



Yeah what exactly happened to her hand. And when did it happen? From this, we may ascertain how much her injury should have healed and see if she is slacking or legitimately hurt. I really hope it's the former. Mangaka that have gotten lazy means they stopped caring about the fans and care only about sustaining themselves. (which isn't an evil mindset, it's just that there are better jobs where that mindset doesn't let thousands of people down.)
