Question: What is going on?

[darkithil.livejournal.com]

Well, I haven't read the manga for a year or maybe more (from the time Cross went missing) – sadly DGM seemed to become more and more complicated, introducing many new characters that were clearly not meant to exist from the very beginning, including a lot of fancy artifacts and generally increasing the amount of cracks in the whole plot line.

But today something hit me to read the last chapter and ... yeah, I couldn't understand a thing. So, can anyone brief me on what is going on, please? And what happened to Lavi? Where is he? And is Yuu truly dead? And who is the main enemy anyway?

I'm on the verge of losing all interest in the DGM manga, come on people, please, you have to make me try and see the reason – the light! – in what was going on recently.

Lavi, Bookman and Chaoji had run into Fiddler in an earlier chapter, and presumably there was a fight. Lavi and Bookman were kidnapped by the Noahs, and Lavi in particular is being used as a hostage against Bookman, whom Cyril is trying to gain information from. Earlier on, it seems that Fiddler infected Lavi (and Chaoji, although he was left behind) with some sort of special parasite that's part of his Noah powers.

There's no actual proof that Kanda is dead. If he did die, we weren't shown it. However, Hoshino has said something suggesting that Kanda's going to reappear in the story later. So chances are he didn't die, but it's anyone's guess when he'll return.

For the main enemy, you'll have to use your own judgement, though. There are a lot of different sides to the war in DGM, and most of them have their hands dirty in some way.

Oh Heavens! The plot thickens rapidly and my head is spinning.

Thank you for the briefing.
