Thread: Volume 12

OK! Well, as expected, the bookstores released it at the start of the week in which it was due to actually be released, so I picked it up today! No idea how to do thumbnails, so I hope you're on decent connections. Here's some pics.

Entitled "Groan from the Darkness", or something like that, it has chapters 119-128 bringing us up to Cross arriving and blowing a hole in Tykki.

Front cover (bigger) (the background's black/grey after all)


Front Inside cover


And my attempt at translation:

[Break time in a mine somewhere]
Guy: Man, that Tikki guy hasn't shown up at all since he took that break. Part-time, huh...

Other guy: Huh? Yeah, dunno what it is, but I'm sure he's busy with some kinda job.

First guy: Yeah, in fact, it's a super-dangerous job where he has to kill people! Hahaha

Second guy: Oi! Don't say such scary stuff! Don't listen to him, Ease...

Ease (kid): Eh? You guys talking about the other day when he suddenly dissapeared in a cloud of steam? ((<--- really not sure about this line))

Second guy: EASE!!

Double-posting cos too many images in one post is a bitch.

What's extra inside? Well, a few random shots like Tiedoll eating a donut, and Allen saying he can eat an unlimited number of Mitarashi Dango, but also...



Sexy.

And just so the ladies don't feel left out...



... not so sexy.

Also, everyone's favourite food!

Allen: Mitarashi dango (unlimited)!
Linali:Chocolate cake
Kanda: Soba (don't you dare say it has no nutritional value)
Lavi: Yakiniku!
Crowley: E... Eliade's blood...
Miranda: Um.... W.... Western pears.... perhaps.... hahaha
That tough man-woman from Anita's boat, whose name I forgot: Dorayaki ((gong meat? dunno what this is))
That guy in Kanda's team who got crucified by Tikki: Shark!
Bookman: Pudding
Suman: My wife's cooking is the best in the world!

Rero: Can't eat
Earl: Crocodile <3
Road: Candy and Allen <3 Timcanpy also looks pretty tasty!
Tykki: Eating with Ease and the guys is the best
Skin: Sweeeets. Wanna eat a gingerbread houuuusse....
More sane half of Jasdebi: Omrice! ((this is basically an omelet around rice))
More crazy half of Jasdebi: Super Spicy Curry!!! Hiiiiiiiiiii!!!


AAAAAAAnd I'm done. Next volume in March. Enjoy!


Incidentally, Bleach also got released. And wins the prize for gayest cover ever (excluding, you know, actual gay mags):



Seriously, what the fuck is going on. Man, that pink is so bright it sears my retinas.

Wow, that might just match the D.Gray-Man cover for gayness.

Okay, WHAT IS UP WITH THOSE SCARY, SCARY NUDE PICTURES. I thought this was a manga for kids?! That's... really inappropriate. T_T

Anyway, thank you, Sherman! It's great to see these. ^_^ Er, the cover and inside cover, that is... not... yeah.

(Also, those food lists are funny. xD Now we know that Road has issues, and Allen and Lenalee are apparently a better match than previously thought. But why would Lenalee make chocolate cake for Komui's birthday if it's her favourite food? o_o)

Err...these inner pages were...unexpected....o.O But somehow...interesting....

Anyway, that cover in big is even BEEETER~ <3 Great, thanks Sherman!

I'm wondering what Hoshino was thinking (or told) when she drew those... o_O Trying to make DGM appeal to the guys a bit more? XD

(Where is Lenalee on the cover?! She had more of a role than those Science Section guys did...)

^I think that is Lenalee right under where the daggers handle ends

They better not take that out of the English one.

I see Kanda, Allen, Chaoji, and Bookman (and the Science dudes), but no Lenalee...

They might not take it out of the English one; it's not showing anything that could be censored (that isn't already) and Viz already rated the series 18+...

Maybe Hoshino's just messing around. Maybe she was bored and well tried to draw something different for a change.

And again the question that was asked quite a few times on this thread, why pink? xD

(and is that a sweat drop on Allen's head?)

What, naked people? That's not just something "different", that's...

Pink, because it's Road's dream? But I'd never have expected her to like that colour (or for Lavi to wear such a shade of blue!).

(I don't think it's a sweatdrop... maybe just his hair.)
