Thread: Volume 18

Gottit!

Contains chapters 172-181

The volume cover you already have, and I can't take much better pics with my crappy camera, but the colours are better. Still not great, though. A pretty forgettable cover.

Now, here's what you don't have!


Inside cover--
Komui in G-outfit.
Speech bubble: What we know about him is these three things: He has a crazy sister complex. He leaves behind notes for his poor staff who work all night. And, he shows no regret for his actions.
Notes fluttering about him: Don't look for me; If you look for me, you will be cursed; I've gone to meet Leenalee; I'm not running; I will return... probably ... and so on.
Reever: That's Our boss!

Then, there's a bunch of stupid little one-frame cartoons, like:

Lavi: Hey gramps, let's go
Bookman: Wait till I sort out my bed-hair!
Lavi: Geez... It's fine like that...


Offscreen: Johnny collapsed!
Reever: Someone drag him to the medical room...
People watching Tapp's sis carry Johnny: Ah, just like the good old days...; Tapp would always carry Johnny when he collapsed from overwork, huh...; Look! Even though he's unconscious, Johnny's still smiling...; Cash's back must be nice...; Ah, I hope those two get married someday...
Cash: Not gonna happen.


Tim's recording of Link: Ahhhh! It hurts! It hurts!!!!!
Link: How much will it cost me to get that recording off you...

Hot secretary: Have either of you seen the Chief?
Note: Don't look for me
Reever: Got him.
Caption: Poor Reever is always busy...


Hoshino-sensei's first overseas trip to Germany!
From plane: Ah, this is scary! How can a pile of metal fly in the sky??
Caption: I was honoured to receive an invitation to the 2008 Animagic Conference in Germany!
Second frame: There were so many people there who love Japanese anime, manga and games, and everywhere I looked, so many beautiful cosplayers I got a nosebleed!
Random scribblinigs: I got some candy from Road!; It was so great I can't even draw it!; Are you trying to kill me with moe?
Note pointing to Hoshino-sensei: This guy's only looking at characters from his own manga.


At my first comic signing, the venue was so much huger than I had expected... I got stomach pains from the nervousness.
Hoshino: I can't do it. Just kill me now
Kicking person (head reads "older sis"): What's wrong, punk? Not gonna do it? Too late now, bastard, you ain't got nowhere to run.

Second frame: At some point I had written my own name so many times that it just began to flow from my head without me even thinking about it.
Third frame: It finished!
Assistant: Wow, some of these chicks have massive tits
Hoshino: Yes! Time to sightsee!

Last frame: It was a nerve-wracking experience, but being able to talk with so many German people was alot of fun! I'll never forget it!
Assistant: I left my cellphone at the hotel...


Meanwhile... (this is during the L4 fight)
Voice: Inspector, someone to see you!
Inspector: Ohhhh...
Sign: No Smoking

And finally...



Inside Timothy's Head

Wow, that´s alot of extra crap for just one volume.

I love how Emilia´s boobs are way bigger in Timothy´s little dream.

Pretty funny, thanks for the shots Sherman.

Yep, that's certainly not a bad dream to be having

The last few volumes have been pretty weak on extra stuff, so maybe she added more into here? Especially since she hasn't been able to publish any chapters for the last litle while.

Also, I didn't see this mention of "returning in summer" that someone said was supposed to be in this volume... in fact, the usual "Next volume, coming xxx month/ xxx year" was absent altogether.

Thanks for the scans and translations, Sherman!

Sucks that there's no preview page for the next volume - the chapters haven't been completed for it, though...

Galmar in the bathroom = as scarring as the Tyki pictures.

Personally, I found these extras to be just as lacking as other recent ones. At least some of the basic "character" ones gave us a bit of info (like their names =P). With these... they're not even really that funny, for the most part. Unfortunately.

Johnny/Cash = canon. Just look at the names!
