The chapter is only long in the number of pages, the plot is not really moving.. Honestly I think that friendship chapter is boring thing in unconsistent publishing manga, at least I want an advance in the plot for the long awaited chapter ...
But the last part maybe can pay for it, I always like Allen and Mana's past ("Don't stop walking, keep moving forward" quote is also always inspiring me), although we don't really know how much of it was the truth, hopefully in the next chapter we will get a new revelation or at least clue about it ...
I was also thinking the plot isn't going forward, but I realized that Hoshino is keeping her pace when I re-read the manga in tanko, that is beeing published in Brazil, curretly in vol. 25. Wait many months to have this king of chapter may be boring sometimes, but it's not like she is stalling, for me, the storytelling's cadence is one of the best qualities in D.Gray-man.
