So, chapter 186

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

Is out on http://www.onemanga.com/

I thought I'd put this up so people could have somewhere to put their share of squee. Because this chapter totally made me stare in wonderment and squeal with glee in the middle of a coffee shop.



So. Congrats on those who guessed that Kanda's past would be coming up soon.

But holy Grave of Maria, who the heck would have guessed THAT?! I was wondering precicely how the Akuma-peoples were the "third exorcists". Guess this is explained now.

Seriously though, what the actual f*ck.

The Lotus is mentioned as well, as being an "illusion", i.e Mugen, which I found interesting (because Mugen means something like 6 illusions or something I can't remember. It's along those lines.) That last page made me stare in wonder at it. What does that mean, I wonder. Kanda surrounded by them, when there was only one in the beginning?

I'm sure there are a million other very important point in this chapter, but... I'm way too distracted by Kanda to notice.

And, as another note: HIATUS AGAIN WHAT THE FUCK NO NO NO AJGFGUSI NO. D:

The hiatus thing nearly killed me (lets hope it doesn't last as long as the last one T-T)
But what was more shocking was Kanda!! So what? He's not human - test tube baby?? - I guess he's the 'second' exorcist then? And the lotus??
Argh! So many questions!!

This is a good chapter, really (mainly because it was focused on Kanda ^^). But even though some of Kanda pasts has been mention, but it's still full of questions marks. Yes, along those so-called "illusions" flowers. There's too many of them! Poor Kanda has been seeing THOSE all his life?
I was like *&^R^%$^*&% too when I saw the hiatus announcement. Why now? When it's finally getting on to Kanda story ;_;

[fantasia0829.livejournal.com]

GOD, WHY ANOTHER HIATUS WHEN IT'D BARELY JUST STARTED AGAIN? ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY'RE FINALLY TALKING ABOUT KANDA'S PAST!?

[darkangelhimeko.livejournal.com]

THIS.

[moonlightspirit.livejournal.com]

I can only agree >< why hiatus now ;_;

Finally something about Kanda...even through it left me with even more questions than before xD

so is he created? as in not really "born" or was he a normal human before and the "created" the exorcist Kanda O.o?
the same with the flower, it definitley means something that, at the beginning it was only one and now there are a lot more and that only Kanda can see them it seems :/
Link didnt seemd happy with the whole half-akuma thing either :/
and those creepy beings are goining on the mission with them <..<) what the central is doing now is not better as what the earl is doing, except he is more "honest" about it...man where is this heading...

but I loled hard as Kanda punched Bak-chan xD

I wanne know whats next q.q' but we will have to wait...damn <.<

[doggiedynasty.livejournal.com]

Wait? ...He was made? What did Bak say...? What about the illusion flower?

[kamina.livejournal.com]

I'm more excited about FFFFOMG DARK(ISH) BAK HISTORY.

[attaining.livejournal.com]

Damn, Allen you might have competition in the crazy department. D:

[midgar-skyline.livejournal.com]

Your comment is EPIC WIN, and I agree. But *shrugs* at least it gives them something more in common! 8D;

*is punched*

X__X

[volatilewind.livejournal.com]

IT'S ABOUT TIME.
...That's all :0

[kyouya-akai.livejournal.com]

i was so happy when I saw the new update and the hiatus thing killed me DX
why? why hiatus again? T___T

HIATUS

[missldesu.livejournal.com]

HIATUS OMG WTF STFU NOW NOW NOT NOW KANDA ROUFA HAIR LOTUS EVERYWHERE OMMAIGOD [/caps lock]
hiatus again T_____T

[eiliem.livejournal.com]

MUAHAHA - and everyone thought Kanda was the sane one! The island of constancy among the crazies.

It's official. The only character in this manga who is not F***** insane and screwed up and just weird...is Timcampy. Who is a cannibal.

Ow, my brain - it is broken!

Also the hiatus is making me sad.

[may-unleashed.livejournal.com]

LOL'ed so much at your comment.

Now we know why Kanda is so bitter towards everyone and everything: he has been traumatized by spending his life seeing pink flowers floating around him. Like a shoujo manga version, with the flowers and sparks XDD

*coughs* Now that I made the crackish comment, I feel really bad. Poor Kanda, really.

*loves angst and cannot wait for more tragic story*

[eiliem.livejournal.com]

Oh. My. God. Kanda Yu is the little brother of CLAMP.

It makes so much sense! The Tall Dark and Bishounen; the Jerk with a Heart of Gold; the sword; the angst; the pretty pretty flowers...o.O

I am a bad bad person

*does not love angst at all and wants a happy resolution dammit!!*

[may-unleashed.livejournal.com]

LOL Kanda Yuu as a CLAMP version, hm? I can see that happening

*bad people unite!* XDDD

*cannot help to be a sucker for angst, but loves a happy resolution at the very very very end XDD*

[eiliem.livejournal.com]

Just you wait! There will be twins, and...clones...and poking out of eye and missing eyes and fancy outfits and seeing of dead people and...and...wait, those have already happened o.O

*gasp* Hoshino-sensei is CLAMP!! O.O

That makes perfect sense. *nodnod*

(I know this is a bad, bad thing to say but...how can it get worse!?! Because I know it is going to get worse and it's already miserable ;_;)

[may-unleashed.livejournal.com]

Well, you know....in the DGM verse, we have the Jasdevi and are they not kinda twins? And there are no clones, but we have akuma and komurins, and Allen has his cursed eye and Lavi has NO eye, and everyone likes fancy outfits (kinda slutty in Linali's case LOL) and Allen sees dead people!!!

So yeap, DGM covers the CLAMP standards, so...Hoshino really is part of CLAMP!! *gasp* All these hiatus thingies are the breaks in between to write TRC and Holic!!

XDDDD

(I am a pretty mean person too, so I guess it can get worse as in....some one else dies? Either Kanda or Allen sacrifices himself in some gambit move? XO Maybe too cliché. Especially if it's Allen, the amount of bad things that happens to him is just becoming ridiculous, I don't like it when the protagonist is the only source of angst...so yeah, I am a mean happy person who welcomes Kanda-related angst X3)

[eiliem.livejournal.com]

And Road punctured Allen's eye (oh CLAMP, oh CLAMP's favourite fetish)

Dear god, we have everything except the clones - just you wait! They are cooomiiiiiing!

And the mini hiatuses in TRC and Holic are to write DGM...O.O

We have uncovered a great conspiracy *nodnod* We must spread the word!!

(I don't think anyone will die, at least not yet - if you're dead you can't be tortured by sadistic writers anymore (unless you belong to CLAMP, in which case they will make you not dead so they can toy with you some more...oh wait, if Hoshino is CLAMP...) but I have faith(?) in Hoshino's ability to make things even worse for Allen. And Kanda. And Lenalee. And Lavi. And everyone. Angst is fine - in low doses (So why the hell am I reading CLAMP?! Because I started off with Cardcaptor. Oh yeah...) and DGM recently has been a freakin angst fest, it makes me sad ;_;

[justcallmeluna.livejournal.com]

I'm the only one who is happy with the possibility that Kanda is not human? Since he is my fav character and everything is just getting waaay too interesting so that hiatus message annoyed me to hell :S

An yes, Mugen means 6 illusions. Lately I was reading some chapters in RAW and noticed that some of his attacts' name contains illusions + numbers so I was wondering why 'illusion'... *not happy with the fact that she won't know it for who-knows-how-much time*

[konrankoneko.livejournal.com]

Okay, first comment...NOES! TT_TT do NOT want another hiatus. I wanted to cry.

Second bout bloody time we find out something about Kanda! And woa, wasn't expecting that turn. O_O and omg Bak and his family did it?! Haha, that's somehow awesome, though it's really creepy. And huh, I never woulda guessed that the old man's Bak's grandfather. And me and some friends were talking the second after we read and got onto the subject of "that person" that Kanda's so obsessed with finding. If he's been MADE then who in the blazes could he be searching for?! Well, I think it may be someone who's like him. Some other "experiment" that had ran away or disappeared or something like that. And he lotus being an illusion? That's something else.

I loved that Bak wanted to rush into HQ and raise hell. XD Funny stuff, and yay! Fou is back and good as new~! I'm proud of the Asian Branch science department, holding him back and what not. I love his dedication to everyone in the order and how he wants to help Renee. Though did she do it of her own volition or what? I dunno so I can't really pass any judgment on her actions; who know? Levrier could have been threatening American Branch members or something. Or she could of done it because she wants to so I dunno.

I love Lou Fa. She's such a fangirl. Her and Rikei arguing was great. Especially when Shifu and Allen got on his case about making a her cry. And I kinda feel bad for Link...the poor guys mind must be in term oil.(Though sense I'm a fan I'm a bit biased on my sympathy for the guy)

Hope this hiatus doesn't last as long as the last one. :( I'll really cry if it does. Especially after they JUST got into revealing about Kanda.

[lolicon.livejournal.com]

another hiatus? this is pretty unprofessional.

[cattheterrible.livejournal.com]

T_T That's a good word for it. Well put.

[closeincline.livejournal.com]

LOL this video eased some on my hiatus induced pain, thanks!

[kagnomi.livejournal.com]

DANG. This was a good chapter. Kanda looked like a chick and his face expressions when Bak asked apologized was priceless. Who knew those two had a history?

As for the Arc, loving it so far. I just don't get why they're throwing Lenalee in the arc AGAIN when she has nothing to do with it. I'm not even sure Allen has anything to do with it. And if both of them have nothing to do with it then why the heck isn't Lavi there????

One thing I don't quite understand is that the order speaks english but Lenalee is using the "san" honorific and she's chinese.

[cattheterrible.livejournal.com]

It's because the chapters are in Japanese and the people translating them are fanboys/girls, so they keep the Japanese honorifics even in the English translation.

[lolicon.livejournal.com]

Rinali and Kanda were childhood friends, so it makes sense that she be in the arc. And they seem pretty close by Kanda standards.

[kupodesu.livejournal.com]

Awesome chapter like WOAH. Kanda just became about 10 times more interesting to me. I am so very interested in what happened '9 years ago'. I loved how Kanda reacted to Bak apologising -- side of Kanda we haven't quite seen before! <3

I hope the hiatus ends soon, cause this arc is looking mighty interesting! I'm just another one mourning the lack of Lavi T__T

[the-angry-chibi.livejournal.com]

[iris-irin3.livejournal.com]

lol this chapter was quite funny despite the angst. Kanda and Bak was hilarious! XD
I wondered why the half-akumas were called "Third Exorcists" but now it's cleared... Never thought that Kanda was actually the "Second Exorcist"!
Gah! Kanda was synthetically made? So, he's like a clone or something?!!

The lotus... isn't it the first time in the manga that it's actually seen and mentioned?

[aion-walker.livejournal.com]

Hiatus... *almost faint*

Yup. About Kanda is REALLY shocking me... I never guessed it'll be like that...

Hmmm.....I wonder who is 'that man'...the one Kanda is looking for...I wonder if he's his creator?

AAAAAARGH!!! NO LAVI!!! DX
