That first page got a rather loud "what the HELL?" from me.

Kanda gaining a fangirl, on the other hand? Comedy gold.

[climhazzards.livejournal.com]

Guh. I love you, Kanda.

[pawprinttracks.livejournal.com]

The G costume makes me laugh-- and I hope Kanda gets possessed by the ghost thing just because it'd be hilarious to see him in the costume XD or mari or allen-- they'd look pretty funny too^^.

[silhouette-68.livejournal.com]

Kanda dressing up as one-eyed-seemingly-pigtailed-villain for the lulz?

Hell yes, please! xD
ilu, Kanda. ♥

[kariavalon.livejournal.com]

lmao thanks for the mental image.
It'd be nice to see him like that for real. xD

[nightcoffeebean.livejournal.com]

That would be hilarious.
Please make it happen Hoshino!

[lovely-fatima.livejournal.com]

I like where this is going. :) And Kanda getting a fangirl was full of sparkles and candy and win! I second the desire of seeing Kanda dressed up as a one-eyed, pigtailed clown! *hee*

I also like how Sensei isn't letting us forget Cross none too soon... Then again, Big Sexy *is* unforgettable, but of course, I'm biased.

oO

that is 6 types of awesome. It's official. Kanda HAS to be made into a Phantom. Esp cuz Marie is there and ooooh, overprotective big brother much?

[jynx.livejournal.com]

Ooooooh, Kanda~ Your pissy expressions make me so haaaaaaaaappy~

[mrpanadabear.livejournal.com]

I like that the manga doesn't really have an overreaching arch right now and its just a bunch of little missions and its really fun and adorable.

[knittedninja.livejournal.com]

:gets in line with the Kanda fangirls:

<3

[mellmell.livejournal.com]

I'm not too big on shounen mascots, but Tim is just too cute for words~

[kariavalon.livejournal.com]

Ditto. =)
Tim's grown quite a bit, but manages to retain all of that cuteness just the same.

[main-titles.livejournal.com]

LMAO AT KANDA's APPEARANCE. "WHO ARE YOU?" XD

I love how Kanda and Allen share the same disbelieving expressions. They are too alike sometimes. :)

Okay, I'm just ridiculously happy that Kanda is appearing regularly again. But now I miss Lavi. I just can't win

Still no word on Cross. :(

[laiqua-liante.livejournal.com]

i know, i loved the way they made almost all the same faces about stuff.

and i miss Lavi too. I wish it would just show all three of them regularly.

[chichilein.livejournal.com]

(random) your icon wins (/random)

[cattheterrible.livejournal.com]

lol. It's about time we got some more crack. <3 I'm also glad this week's Wednesday spoilers were a lie, because they were lame.

[animegoil.livejournal.com]

Argh, when I first saw Kanda stepping in through the door before Allen and the others showed up behind him I was like... YES, we get some Kanda action! Maybe a peek of his past somewhere? Please? And then... I was disappointed.

You know, with the random crack Hoshino's throwing around lately, I actually wouldn't be surprised to see her put Kanda into that ridiculous outfit thing.

....And does anyone get random DNAngel vibes from the Phantom Thief/leaving a note thing?

Additionally: Semi-interesting to point out that Allen is once again being paired up with Kanda for a mission. And that, once again, they're not really speaking much to each other, and Allen in general is just placidly smiling, but not offering much interaction either. But they're oddly in sync with each other XD

[kariavalon.livejournal.com]

I feel for you on the random D.N.Angel vibes.
The aforementioned given notice from the phantom thief, timely breach, and well, manage to escape with the article targeted pretty much gave me a instant picture of D.N.Angel. I can't really speak for the costume though... this one is just plain outrageous. It feels like it'll lead into something more... at least I hope so.

The syncing of reactions is quite cute. XD;
I'm very tempted to venture in the world of iconing... though I pray that I don't get addicted into doing so..

[selvatori.livejournal.com]

Oh yes! DNAngel plus Detective Conan, no? =D

I love their interactions, Kanda and Allen that is. Precious really!! +A

[calasstriastar.livejournal.com]

...If I had the abillity I'd be making myself icons of the duel "WTF" expressions on Kanda and Allen's faces. They are freaking adorable without even trying.

But I really miss seeing Lavi and Lenalee >>;;;;

[kariavalon.livejournal.com]

That'd be awesome. 8D;
I'm thinking of doing them too.. though I'm no too confident on my speed of progress. n___n;

[attaining.livejournal.com]

I may be totally alone in this, but I found this chapter really ridiculous -- and not in a good way. I want to see some character development on Kanda, not his usual stomping around in the background while something cracky happens in the foreground. u.u The crack just wasn't funny this time, Hoshino. :\

[kagnomi.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's sorta leading up to something profound? Like the ghosts of the people who died?

[kagami-pon.livejournal.com]

I had to double check to make sure I was reading the correct manga at first. The costumes were scary, hilarious and just a tad cute.

I like it - it was very, very funny. But I was expecting something a little more heavier though. During some interview with the D.Gray-Man anime voice cast earlier on, didn't someone say that Kanda's past was going to be revealed in the manga some time this year? I was expecting it to happen soon after the resolution with Level 4 and in his initital appearence this chapter was something... but it didn;t happen. -.-;

It was funny seeing him gain another fangirl but I really want to know what it up with his past!! Ah well, it'll be interesting all the same. Or I hope it will be. Marie, Kanda and Allen on a mission with a fashion retarded Phanton G. Should get a few laughs more out of it.

[kagami-pon.livejournal.com]

Ah don'y like posting two times in a row, but maybe there'll something involving the party that the girl is going to and the director...? It seemed that Hoshino suggested a significance to it. Or am I reading too much into it? Or could it even be a false trail.

And Allen and Kanda's faces after the Finder told them his suspicions were priceless. Love 'em.

[kariavalon.livejournal.com]

It's a good conjecture to follow on~ I'm hoping for a bit more of depth from that since there seems to be some emphasis on that as well.

I have to agree with you on the "synchronization" of Allen and Kanda's faces. ^^

[nobeansprout.livejournal.com]

Thief G ftw.

*isfangirlingoverKandaandAllenrightnowshitdamnwow*

[selvatori.livejournal.com]

Hell Yeah!! *finallymoyashiandbakandaaction!otp* ♥♥♥♥♥♥

[nobeansprout.livejournal.com]

YESOTPOMGOMGOMGOMG~

[blueshimmer.livejournal.com]

What the hell was that, Hoshino LOL! I want more Lavi, dammit! ;_; Well, at least we now have a definite timeframe. Allen's almost sixteen, holy crap!

[selvatori.livejournal.com]

oh 16~? he's still as cute though :)

[kaze-zeka.livejournal.com]

Seconded, I want more Lavi too ;_; ! I was so happy when he appeared in the 171th chapter, and now he's again not there. I wonder if he's doing some mysterious research or something with Bookman and he has no time going to missions... ;_; but I want to see more of him !

(Kanda's expression in the page 8 was priceless 8'DD when he saw all the phantoms)

[kagnomi.livejournal.com]

I thought at first the little boy groping the fangirl was Lavi. XD

[criaze.livejournal.com]

ajksdfhjdaf WHAaAT!? A detective case? oh my Hoshino O____o
A fangirl of Kanda, finally. Pitiful soul though XD

This turned out to be yet another Allen-Kanda team up mission (w/ Marie)
WHERE IS LAVI!!!!???? T_____T

And, hey~ Is it just me or Allen's uniform really has a HOOD? (pg 16) I just noticed it x_x

[selvatori.livejournal.com]

it DOES! it does have a hood, a cute plus! though Kanda's doesn't have any, he's just wearing 2 skirts! =P

I, as well, pity Kanda's fangirl *sigh* the poor thing...

[criaze.livejournal.com]

Oh wow oh really wow~
Thank you for informing. The hood was never that obvious DX

2 skirts...pfft. I like taht XDD

[kyandii-holic.livejournal.com]

This chapter was hilarious!
I loved Kanda's sparkly fangirl and probably one of the most ridiculous outfits in whole DGM history! I second the motion of seeing Kanda (and Allen) dressed up like Phantom Thief G.
But where is Lavi? *tear*

[masqueer11.livejournal.com]

Hahahahahaha, this randomness from Hoshino-sensei is just too much!

[kalium-kx.livejournal.com]

At first, i thought it was Jasdevi pranking the neighbourhood with the Phantom G..still hoping tho'

Nice to have a less serious chappie once in a while..

[neejie.livejournal.com]

Kanda has a fangirl.XDDDD

and have to agree with Kanda and Allen wearing the Phantom Thief G's garb XDDD

[saya22.livejournal.com]

Kanda's WTF expression is priceless. Honestly, you don't get to see that everyday.

[blueshimmer.livejournal.com]

I just noticed Timcanpy pressing himself against the glass (page 13). Too funny!

[main-titles.livejournal.com]

Hehe. Timcanpy is adorable.

[roq-q.livejournal.com]

I seriously hope this mission gets more serious. I mean, I like crack, but there are some unresolved things that are driving me insane right now.

[sitiomania.livejournal.com]

Oh man, I love mysteries! If there are any Holmes-related puns that would be awesome. Kanda-fangirl is hilarious, and I bet there's gonna be Noah it this party. Maybe. Or Mister G will be guy the party's about or something. I must see Kanda in that outfit. I must. And I love Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim! All the WTF expressions would make fantastic icons.

[main-titles.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping there are Noah at the party.

[strawberrypenis.livejournal.com]

the G costume is lulz & wtf mixed together.

Kanda has a fangirl. "get outta my way" the girl gets sparkles in her eye "ooh, and so forceful". His expression were pretty freaking hot XD

Tim looks huge now, he is too damn cute on pg 13 & Miss Bonnaire, so fabulous 8D

They are back to missions yay plus we're getting a lot of Allen and Kanda teams :DDD Hosino sensei please hurry with Kanda's past ;-;

[kagnomi.livejournal.com]

Kanda's WTF look - priceless.
Allen now wears an earring?
I lvoe the fangirl - thoguh I'd be scared of Kanda with the look he gave her. But handsome? HAH! He's too pretty.

lol at Dad being like Komui except shoving said daughter's face out of the way.
