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.



And there was the whole plagiarism issue.



But yea... 15 pages in a month... not to mention that this story started going downhill since the timeskip.

stop whining. Be happy she didn't drop series altogether, that'd completely suck.

true.

I always complained about the art cause it was all over the place, but compared to after the hiatus, she has improved a lot. You can at least tell who is who now. About this chapter, I'm very fond of Johnny and it's good that Hoshino's focusing on him and Kanda. It gives more suspense to the 'where is Allen?' mystery.

I loved this chapter, mainly because of the comradery and bonds between the science division.

I mostly liked the chapter because Kanda is going to find Allen, it's just getting me wondering why he would go looking for him, unless he needs something?

I didn't like how it was so short and there wasn't much happening, I'm hoping it will pick up soon though.

Ahhh but I want to see Lavi. :

short chapter is short...but then again, she has that hand injury and all.



Kanda was hella funny this chapter, and even tho it was short, it was quite enjoyable :D



For a moment I almost thought this was back to weekly XD

You just have to wait. It's possibly that Lavi have something important to do in future, we don't know. And Hoshino always impress us, I least I back her up in it. She always impress me.



I laugh the hell out of me when Kanda enclosed the CROWS, that was a funny scene and how Jhonny was "The hell? I better stay quiet /sweat"



Aaaaand Kanda did say why he came back to the Order, but as a real exorcist, you just have to analyze what he said to Lenalee and Master Zhi (I really don't remember his name, it's difficult to me). Now, He's free, he can do whatever he likes and I think he really appreciate his Nakama, that's why his doing it (for me). Remember that Allen didn't quiet as an Exorcist, he just wanted to do something alone and for his Nakamas, to protect them... But know is a traitor in front of the Black Order's Eyes, like Jhonny (it seems that Kanda now is fugitive, I understood that through reading th chapter, maybe I'm wrong).



I think he wants to save Allen or a least kick his ass really hard for doing things alone.



I'm curious why Jhonny appear so much, maybe it's because he believed more in Allen than anyone else. My theory is that Jhonny is going to gain an innocence, but is possibly (as someone in this thread said) that he could be the heart, but how? Apocrypos should had felt the Heart, 'cuz the Heart is sad. I think Apocrypos knows where is the Heart, or a least he has clues. And maybe Allen is part of the Heart.



Whatever, my stupid theories. I want to see next chapter.

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.



Yeah...Maybe she forgot lol. They're showing no importance in saving Lavi which to me is more important then saving Allen because Allen is a noah and is currently dangerous. I understand that maybe Kanda wants to save Allen because he owes him or maybe they need Allen and the gang so they can save Lavi since he's in the midsts of the Noah. Who knows?



Anyways When I read this chapter I got excited. Not because I found it really good but because I thought she was back to weekly shounen jump. I was like 15 pages? Guess she's back to the weekly but no. :(



And if she really has a hand problem she definitely needs to get another artist to draw for her like, you've all said, and focus on making the story great. I don't know what her problem is but I hope she gets better and if it's laziness, I hope she realizes that she has hungry fans out there.

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.)



I think i've been hearing about her injured hand for about two years or more now. That's why am saying that hand injury excuses don't cut it any more. The only hand injury that needs close to two years is if you lost your whole freaking hand and had to reattach it back(which still should be healed about now).

So ether she just has some permanent damage that limits the movement of her hand or a hand injury excuse can't be used anymore.
