Re: Does anyone here read...

Did somebody say Gangsta?!

I've read up to chapter 24, but it's been awhile since the scanlations started updating again (I know, I know, but I'm buying the books as they come out in English), so I'm doing a re-read right now to refresh my memory. It's even better the second time around! The art is just so fucking amazing, not enough artists have that lanky, expressive, grungy style with lots of blackspace, I'm so grateful to the tumblr for uploading scans of the artbook, it's gorgeous. I've heard that shit gets particularly real from chapter 25 onwards so I'm trying to avoid spoilers, but first read I was so anxious for Alex to reunite with you-know-who (does anyone know who?) and I hope nothing awful happens before then, it would just kill me.

HEEEEE ♥♥♥

It's translated up to 28 on goodmanga AFAIK, but the 6th volume just came out last month, too, so it may take time for them to catch up. I read the untranslated version since I couldn't wait, but I'll do my best not to spoil anything. I totally agree, though, I spent hours going through the tumblr tag and just admiring the art. I especially love Loretta and Doug, I'm not sure why. But the shots with Nic and Worick standing side by side are gorgeous too. Ahhhhhhhhh I JUST REALLY LOVE IT

Thanks! Ah, shit, man, I forgot that it was so far along, I'll probably end up "reading" the raws myself. Latest raws seem to be from 30 to 34 (chapter 29 scanlation just went live a few hours ago, so that's badass). Who doesn't adore Doug? He's such an awesome little shit, but he wasn't doing so hot last I saw him, and then some reactions on tumblr scared the hell out of me. This manga seems like it'll kick all the puppies the longer it goes on, if Rick and Nic's backstories are any indication.

Those portraits of Worick and Nic are definitely the coolest, I really hope the anime looks half as good as those. If there's a God, Madhouse will animate it and it'll look like a gangster version of Hellsing Ultimate.

EDIT: Goddamnit Doug ;__;

OMG WHERE'S THE CHAPTER 29 SCANALATION? As far as I know it's only been released up to 34--do you know if the chapters are put out in a magazine, or if it's only by volume? I poked around a bit but I'm not that familiar with manga, so I wasn't really sure. AND YES I am anticipating a lot of heartbreak. T_T There's already been so much, sob.

Yeah, I've got my fingers crossed that the anime will do it justice. And !!!! I was just thinking the other day that it reminded me a little of Hellsing! I'm so glad I'm not the only one.

YES T_T Just wait until you catch up. JUST WAIT.

Re: Does anyone here read...

Here's 29 for ya!. I have no idea, but I'm pretty sure it's not released on a weekly basis like say Naruto is, otherwise we'd get updates sooner. And I finally caught up, with the raws, too. Things are just sixteen different kinds of fucked up, man, I don't even know. I hope they turn the Destroyers into a fine paste on the ground. But I have to say I love how the story is humanizing all the side characters so thoroughly outside of their relation to the big three. They all get amazing stories and interactions all their own. This manga, Jesus.

Thank you!

God, I know. Delico. DELICO. It's crazy how I thought I didn't care that much about these side characters, but with all this tragic stuff happening to them, like with Doug and Galahad and now Delico.... it just seriously breaks my heart. AND YES I totally agree. Everyone has their own complex story and life going on, they aren't just there to make Nic look stronger or play off Worick and Alex or whatever. And it strikes a realistic balance between people's prejudice and their good sides (like Joel). Aughhhh I love it.

Re: Does anyone here read...

[darkmanifest]

Fucking Delico, that whole scene just gutted me. And me, too, at first I was all "why am I supposed to care about all these people, tell me what Nic's up to" and now I'm just like "forget Nic, WHAT ABOUT CONNIE?!" The author really knows how to make everyone important, and everyone flawed, and everyone awesome, even villains (because villains have backstories, too). The mangaka's bought my loyalty, it's a shame they haven't done very much work.
