Thread: Is Hoshino trying to regain a male audience?

I think we need MORE ROMANCE. I hope Allen gets kidnapped and Lenalee runs off to save him, but she's too late... and then they have their psychic-connection-link-thingy while he's off with the Noah and she's being emo.

The naked Cross is actually the omake at the end of the volume (Hoshino usually draws that, doesn't she?). I don't think it has anything to do with Cross himself... he's saying DONDAKE~ XD That phrase is really famous because of a guy named IKKO. Go search IKKO on Veoh or something. xD I think that's just supposed to be weird - not attractive or anything.

But digi, how could you insert romance in the current chapters? I mean, it'll be really hard inserting romance into a fight. (and I see the fight continuing for about 2 more chapters.)

Really now? tis an omake. (I can't think of anything else to say...am still thinking about those pants XD)

Well, if anything happens to Allen or Lenalee and the other is sad about it... or the fight could end and then anything could happen...

(Stained, you're such a male. xD) Bookman appears in it, too. I seriously have no idea what's up with it. Anyone who can translate care to do so?

Wait Lenalee is still locked up in that room where they're keeping Kory right? So how will said female know that Allen was/is in trouble and was/is hurt. I doubt the telepathic connection thing. Its not like Lenalee's dream happened at the same time as Allen's dream (the one where he was stopped by his "shadow")

(Hey! It's not THAT, its just I think she'll look better with pants rather than a skirt.XD) does the omake happen at the beach? (That's the only reason I could think off as to why he's naked)

Oh, I thought she'd escape from that room and find that he's hurt. On the other hand, who knows - Allen and Lenalee were both awake (or rather, Allen was awoken because of it) when she was calling for him during the battle with Eshi, and Komui's cup broke when Lenalee was fighting (again, both awake)...

Beach? No... He looks like one of those perverted old men who lurks around his house without clothing...

I guess we can chalk it up to one of those mysterious akuma eye power.

(I had a reaction to the 2nd statement but I forgot XD.)

Hmm, it seems that this is the only manga that I've been reading every week XD Meh I guess its because of a certain mod, that never fails to alert people if there's a new chapter XD

I think Linali looks damn good in that skirt and long boots, thank you very much.

And that omake at the end... it's from one of the employees, talking about how he sees life at the office. Roughly...

============

The working week starts with Hoshino-sensei's (Cross) greeting - "dondake~" (By the way, I am SO bloody sick of that phrase, it's not even funny. Not that it ever was to start with.)...

Hoshino-sensei immediately gets hungry....

The guy in charge of food at work - Hobbit-kun (Bookman) - "I'll draw you a picture so delicious, you'll be full just by looking at it...."

Bookman starts drawing, Cross tells him to hurry up, Bookman finishes, Cross eats the paper, and it kinda looks like he orgasms over how delicious it was...

Assistant M (Skin Boric) comes out of the darkness looking for work. M likes dark places, so he works all alone in a room separate from the rest of the team.
Cross - "I'll give you something, just wait a moment..."

Cross draws, and then presents M with a task - "draw this, please!". The template is a big empty page with "Scenery" written across it, and a little figure marked "Allen".

Finally, the day draws to a close. By the way, from Volume 13, Agent Y has been replaced with Agent N (I figure there must be some rabid fans who are interested in this sort of thing).

Guy in the darkness - "Well done today, Hoshino-sensei. How are you feeling?"
Hoshino - "I haven't slept well this week, so not so good"
Guy (Agent N) - "YOU NEED NUTRIRION"
Hoshino - "OK"

And, that kind of environment is pretty much how any manga-creating place anywhere is like!

To be continued...

DONDAKE~ =P

Thanks for the translation, Sherman! I'm sort of starting to question whether or not Hoshino really is female with this... Cross thing... :/ She has some really strange assistants.

Hey some people like to trans-sexually migrate xD (Maybe she's bi?)

(am too lazy to search for dondake to know what it is...)

Being bisexual would have nothing to do with being shown as a man; that's transsexual... it'd explain why we don't have a 100% known gender for Hoshino, though. (Didn't someone say that she's appeared in public, though?)

(Dondake = IKKO = I told you earlier. I just saw his video today; that's why I'm saying it. xD It's fun.)
