AUGH I MISS HIM

/Fastforwards through flashbacks

I miss him, too.

...Wait, who's Lavi...

God, it's been just about a full year since we last saw him, hasn't it...

Or am I forgetting a more recent encounter due to sheer lack of them.

/FLINGS EL OUT THE WINDOW!!

RUDE.

We last saw him getting pulverized in chapter 207.

Unless you mean most recent encounter where he actually did anything besides cameo.

...So, nearly a year.

/WAILS

I mean most recent encounter period and auuugh.

LAVI BABY COME BACK

And that was only five chapters ago nearly a year ago...

/Claws face

Just watch, the Fourteenth dream/flashback's going to take another two years and five hiatuses.

Just pointing out established trends here!

(But no, I'm mostly kidding. Lavi, come baaaack. 8|)

El if you ruin this for me I will beat you.

Soundly.

...What, my name's not Hoshino. DIRECT YOUR GRIEVANCES ELSEWHERE, ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE GOING TO BE VIOLENT.

actually, guys... oh my god.

I'm sad somebody beat me to the ". . . who?" joke

captcha was "i am here" B|

You're always welcome to make it again, there's not enough fml to go around.

YEAH LAUGH IT UP NOW UNTIL KANAD GOES MISSING FOR ANOTHER THREE ARCS.

(And then I'll be whining about that CAN'T EVER WIN)

And oh god, it's already been a year? 8|a

LOOK, at least you don't have to read every chapter when you're reviewing.

No but it'd been over half of one...

eight... months...

I DON'T REVIEW IN THE FIRST PLACE.

...dshlkds yes Ath, fly free.

I can already recite the damn series by memory I don't need to. 8|

Hoshino, for my birthday can I have a Lavi panel...

that's a whole three months, please...

We're going to get a chapter this month right.

Tell me we're going to get a chapter...

Aaaaaas far as I know!

You knock on wood.

Knock on it right now.

...

knock on it

This table's made of glass, I suspect that's a sign.

NOOOOOOOO

I'm just curious what "tragic end" he's going to meet that'll be so much worse than, apparently, any other characters'.

--ಠ_ಠ

Since Hoshino, like, went out of her way to mention how Lavi's story is gonna suck.

for him

I think it was a tragic story, not a tragic end?

Wouldn't that be the same...

But yeah apparently she intends to make his life suck so badly it's pointed out in face of everything else...

I am scared to ask how she intends to make it worse than everything she has already done to everyone.

See, Lavi, that's the price to pay for getting any screentime in a series like this.

Every panel's got to be streaked with tears and blood.

Him just dying is too obvious, so it's gotta be something worse.

...The parasites make a hive of him?

She's keeping him out of the series for this long strictly so that when he finally does get screentime again, we don't even get the chance

to be happy because it'll just be nonstop horror and trauma from there on out.

I ust want to know what the hell's been up with him for three months.

he was doing road's homework

IF HE'S SURIVIVING CONSTANT BRUTALITY OR ESCAPED OR WHAT.

And being a hive. 8|

i bet he'll return as some sort of hideous eyeball monster and eat everyone

also he cleaned fiddler's bedroom

and watching bookman get beaten to hell

POL, YOU FIND SOME WOOD NOW.

and then made all the noah pancakes

yes, cleaning fiddler's bedroom

no B|

Maybe they cut out his last eye and made him eat it

D8

\o/ who knows its hoshino

for all I know an angel might pop out his eyepatch and save the day

wouldn't that be nice...

(No it's a laser)

ITS NOT A LASER

SHUT UP I'M COPING.

oh i bet he has noah eyeball parasites in his eye socket

p-probably...

hoshino loves herself some eyescream

but like multiple eyeballs because bodyhorror

yes

I feel like this is just the hideous eyeball monster eating everyone scenario extended.

Are they gonna like, go bursting out next time we see them.

Suddenly EYEBALL EXPLOSION OUT HIS SOCKET.

But no because that eye is special she still has to tell us what it is.

EYEBALLS FOR EVERYONEEEE

And apparently Bookman has to die for that to happen.

I was always under the impression his covered eye helped him use his magical memory powers...

It's DGM, someone has to die for anything to happen.

how will he cope with a dead bookman man

HE WON'T DIE he'll just. go to cancun with cross...

she can't kill off someone for real...

no major characters have died yet!!! it's impressive, actually

someone who isn't a redshirt...

I don't think eyeballs are tied to memory like that Pol.

Hoshino's science is bad but surely not that bad.

they are in hoshino-land

i'm sure it's got magical memory magic in it

DGM-science is magic, so ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE

have you read dgm, it has mechas and floating ghost monocles and de-aging potions

Also, bendable straws.

...god, I love this series

You forgot neon signs.

and superhero comics.

didn't the Asia Branch have television screens?

and manga

horror movies

etc etc

I'm pretty sure Hoshino but bullshits "fictional" and "magic science" so she doesn't have to actually do any research.

research is for chumps

Sometimes for RP I go to check up if a phrase was coined or some technology existed by the late 19th century

but I still don't know why I bother...

This is why when she says she hiatuses FOR research I laugh

YOU CAN SAY YOU JUST WANT A VACATION HOSHINO

she ever said that? It's always been being sick or wrist problems or whatever.

hollandais: I keep a list of those things somewhere, but. /vague wave

Yep, the hiatuses early in the manga say "the author is taking a break next week to collect data!!"

so do i but what is the pooiinntttt

She has said that yes lol

I also look up phrases/objects/technology for their existence in the 19th century...

--Lmfao.

—huh, I never noticed. 8|a Or maybe I did but forgot about it.

"data"........................

she... Possibly researching on, I don't even know, fashion styles...

I saw it just earlier today while rereading...

she does sometimes get fashion accurate!

...CLEARLY I'M LAGGING BEHIND. /tries to cover more chapters before the weekend

but then stripper outfits

or outfits covered in GIANT ZIPPERS

Exorcist uniforms have the Science Division acting as their catch-all excuse. 8|a Stripper outfits, though.

BUNNY GIRLS, even.

no excuses

Whatever Kanda, you crawled out of a pool of slime, you've been covered in worse.

;akthat

I'm sure the research isn't for chronological accuracy so much as finding references for stuff she wants to draw XD

so basically she went to the hair salon

and doodled

And europe!

I think.
