Thread: Chapter 159 Discussion - WHY GOD, WHY?!

Another three-month timeskip? It's certainly possible; that war that the Noah started isn't going to happen in just a few weeks. I wouldn't be surprised if even a year or so passed in the manga while events play out.

wasn't it mentioned that it would take about a year for the Noah to regroup with the loss of the egg? at least i think i remember something like that mentioned.

Rouvelier said that it may have delayed the Earl by "a year... maybe half a year..." but the important part was that they did cause a delay in the culmination of the Earl's plots, which is good. I don't recall the Earl ever giving a timeline himself. Lenalee's hair also seems a bit short for a year to have passed; a few months seems more likely - and that would put DGM in the spring of next year. Yay spring.

Yep, that's what happens. Hevlaska is holding a bunch of Innocence in her right now. Chances are that at some point in history, it's found an accommodator, who died, and then it went back to being dormant. If they try to put it in someone without that person being chosen, we get the Togaochi scenario

Ah, I didn't know about that fanbook. Provided the price is reasonable, I might pick that up too. Lenalees's hair as a bob-cut? Suits me. Today at school some of my students asked me about DGM, and asked me who I liked. So, I had to say Lenalee. They were all, "eeeeeeeeh, yappari" and then asked if I liked her with long hair or short. Maybe it's something of a big deal in the fandom.

At any rate, I'd be happy for some downtime before the Next Big Thing. I miss the short self-enclosed stories that I really began to like DGM for - like the Lala doll story, or the Rewinding Town. I'd appreciate a side-arc like that in between huge major-plot-oriented epics.

I don't think it's too expensive; I think I remembered reading that it was under 1000 yen...? Maybe 700-something? A little more expensive than the volumes.

Do the fans like her with longer or shorter hair, then? o_o Seems like everyone online prefers the long hair, and I'm just an exception (she looks way better with it short, not to mention totally different from average heroines in the series).

Those'd be nice, although I've always seen those kinds of things as being what comes before the big plot in shounen adventure stories... It just feels like there's so much to reveal, and we're already 160 chapters in; if the ratings aren't so great and it isn't guaranteed that DGM can run for a few hundred chapters more... Another Reverse volume might be nice, though; they tend to have stories like that, and some (optional!) comedy.
