RIP Danny the Finder. You may have only been with us for like, five pages, but you died having elbowed Satan himself to the ground, which is probably the single greatest achievement of any Finder ever.
Allen: Kanda is always like “I could kill you if I wanted.” Like? Yeah? So could the Noah. So could a level one akuma. So could a very dedicated duck. You aren’t special.
Lmao people complaining about Kanda’s “excessive” screentime in the upcoming tv series. In the manga he has the least appearances out of the main four till about the Phantom Thief G arc. After Martel he barely shows his face, and unlike the others he hardly has any interactions with anyone aside from his occasional bickering with Allen. After the Skinn fight (which is fairly short, considering the relative screentime given to the others on the Ark*) he has a really minor role too. Honestly the Alma arc just makes up for the fact that he practically disappears after Martel right upto the Ark arc.
*Kanda’s fight with Skinn was 5 chapters long. The one against Jasdevi was 11, and the one against Tykki and Road took up two volumes, including the chit-chat.
Kanda practically existed in a vacuum before Phantom Thief G. All the other main characters routinely interacted with each other, were fleshed out and given some really dramatic/heartbreaking/interesting scenes. And then Hoshino gave Kanda a well-deserved and long overdue backstory.
Eat your hearts out.
well i totally agree with you but i also understand what people are coming from, since kanda is the most popular character in the fandom (beside allen the main character of course) so some might feels like they have to hear about him all the freaking time (well, i’m one of those people) but it’s true that lavi – the character who disappear for years – still has more screentime than kanda ever did
Anyone else notice that Kanda has a penchant for befriending/getting stuck with the happy hyperactive ones?
Alma, Lavi and Johnny.
it’s more like a curse actually
I was re-reading some translations of Hoshino’s interview in CharaGray and apparently Kanda’s story was supposed to be completely different and the idea of Alma didn’t occur to her until 2008 so i did a little release date check and now i’m wondering
Somebody on the Lavi Baidu Bar felt bored and decided to make a compilation of Lavi’s appearances throughout the manga. It seems that every frame where Lavi appears is in the thread… I’m not very sure if it’s complete, but it’s really quite an extensive collection. Nothing to translate, just images for you to look at.
If you miss looking at Lavi, just click the link below. Or if you want to see how Hoshino’s drawing of Lavi has changed since his first appearance in chapter 25, click the link below.
Okay so I read back through a few parts that I remembered being sad and picked the ones that made me mist up on the spot. (In chronological order, not in order of most/least sadness!)
1. Tiedoll draws for Daisya. Yeah this part is so little but it is literally guaranteed to make me cry even out of context.
