Sorry, I didn't notice anything except those massive globes on Isuzu. Reminds me of the 8th volume cover, except more hypnotizing for some reason.kk1 wrote:Looks more like it's Pinky Street-licious they're all wearing the outfits the Pinky Street figures are wearing.Asunder wrote:It's boobylicious!
Yay!
Its not that shes that bad, its just I think that out of all the characters the Bun-man should have been on the next cover. Hes been in more chapters and done more stuff than her. I mean even Enma got on a cover and she play a small role in all the arcs.kk1 wrote:pv82 wrote:Dam, I really thought this one would have had Tawara on the cover, Too bad. Makes me want to cancel my order...![]()
:Really is Madoka that bad?
The reason why Bunshichi does not get on any covers is that his tits are just too small. Even smaller as Madoka's. I wonder why they even put Masataka on the cover of volume 11... until now, there were only two covers that did not feature cleavage, so I would've been surprised if Bunshichi would get on one of them.pv82 wrote:Its not that shes that bad, its just I think that out of all the characters the Bun-man should have been on the next cover.

, shes looked more cuter on other plain panels. So far from the looks of it, this cover is the worst so far. IMO

Of course it is one of the worst covers, as it shows that cowardly, backstabbing little b...rat that deserves to get thrown into a masticator for sticking her lightsaber-thingie into Isu's heart. *grmbls*
Hmmm. But I do, because I judge characters according to the way they behave and what they do in the story, and all in all, this does not make Madoka likeable in my point of view, but that's just a personal opinion. Good artwork or not, if I get to see some character I don't like, I also don't like the artwork, as it portrays someone I don't have any sympathies with.MrProphet wrote:I like Madoka, and I like the cover too.
Really now, if you're going to judge a cover by how much you (dis)like the character, just say so plainly. Don't blame the artwork.
Thats how its looks like to me, he seems to have aimed for her. Mits was stading in front of Maya in the panel before, but so was Nagi. Maybe he ment to aim for her. It does seem wierd that you dont see Mits in the strike panels. I cant see the self sacrfice part, unless MP has translated a part indicating that. Its sucks to see where Tetsuhito's character is going but I guess he was just a pawn in all this.EliteF22 wrote:I originally thought that Kagiroi attacked her. I didn't see him aiming for Mitsuomi. Plus, it would be cool to see them go blade-to-blade.
Perhaps I'm just jumping to conclusions, but I wonder if Souhaku also intends that Kagiroi be Souichirou's biggest and most crucial meal?EliteF22 wrote:Perhaps he couldn't wait for Souichirou to grow older and he needed someone right away so he pumped up Tetushito. He then waits until Mitsuomi is old enough to take on Dougen. And we know the rest. It looks like Souhaku intends for Souichirou to be the epitome of the red feather's power.
Dougen has already said he didn't want to control red feathers but save them from their powers. Shin's dad was his friend, he didn't want what happened to him to happen again. I don't know Makiko looks like a willing participant.(I think the translation will surprise some people). Nagi's already born and is 7 years old. I think he was using Souichiro the same way as Makiko, not to make him the epitome of the red feather's power.EliteF22 wrote:I think this is the story so far. Both and Dougen and Souhaku wanted to control those with powers. Souhaku wanted to feed all those with red feather powers to Makiko and thus tried to feed Shin to Makiko. Dougen wanted to control them by creating the true warrior and thus used Shin to do it his way instead. Souhaku not liking having to listen to Dougen decides to overthrow him. In order to create a fighter strong enough to defeat any enemy he tried to make Makiko that fighter by having her steal the power of others. Apparently she wouldn't join him so he then decides to artificially create one using Tetsuhito. I don't know when he found out that Makiko was pregnant so he may have been trying to create a back up plan or maybe Tetsuhito was just a quick solution. He then waits until Mitsuomi is old enough to take on Dougen. And we know the rest. It looks like Souhaku intends for Souichirou to be the epitome of the red feather's power.

I'd suggest something like: "It began here... The place where the first fragment is born..."kk1 wrote:here's a little to get started....
page 2
Aya: "8 years ago....."
"Souichiro-sama's... mother...!!"
Reflection:"Here I..."
"the place one day's fragment was born"
She's also using polite/formal language... but I agree that this is "anata" as in "dear" not as in "you". I'd say it's quite obvious she's on Souhaku's side at this stage in the chapter. I can't quite follow all the main points from the whole chapter, but it seems Souhaku has been deliberately deceiving her the whole time and only thinks of her as a tool (or near enough).kk1 wrote:Aya: "ahh...!!!"
Page 3
Makiko: "Who is it?" "Is someone there?"
Aya :"She sees me...?"
Souhaku:" It's uncomfortable"
Makiko:"...you...came"
(she used anata and seems happy to see him)
Note the kanji character a bit lower down - she's starting to say "bakemono" not "bakana". So: "M... mons...!"kk1 wrote:Souhaku: "This room...no this mansion is something that makes your "power" an amplifier for the equipment." "Bear with it for a little while."
(sounds like he's being nice don't it?)
"It's "dinner" time.
page 5
Aya: "Impo...imposss..."
Isn't "aite" fun to translate in the general case. Another Japanese word that is often hard to map to English...kk1 wrote:"No. I'm mistaken. The "dragons eye", my minds eye as it were..."
"Mind-reading my companion's "ki"'s nature is a subjective thing but this image "me" through a filter...!!" (that's probably a bad translation)
Suggestion:kk1 wrote:"Calm down... the waters surface reflecting the moon."
"not cold..."
"a level mind..."
I'd need my kanji dictionary to figure out some of the words properly, but I think Dougen is basically saying something like "What are you getting up while I was away. That criminal is the one who killed his own father, Kaima, whose funeral I was attending."kk1 wrote:Souhaku: "It's the first time for you to see too...."
"You rarely have valuable meat like this."
page 6
Souhaku:" The best qualty "demon"."
Aya:" B..broth..the..."
page 7(not done)
Souhaku: "damn"
Dougen:"Souhaku!!!"
"........."
"I took him to the funeral, his father...Kaima was killed, criminal!!!"
On the first panel we see Nagi walking to the side and Maya walking right behind Mitsuomi's shoulder. On the next double-panel we see Kagiroi striking past Nagi and Maya receiving the blow. Obviously it was meant for Mitsuomi. Of the 3 of them, Mitsuomi is the most dangerous. It just makes no sense to deliver a blow to Maya who is the least dangerous.pv82 wrote:Thats how its looks like to me, he seems to have aimed for her.

Yeah, I agree that Mits and Nagi were walking in front of Maya, and its wierd that you don't even see Mits in the panel where Tetsuhito strikes her, but he could have zoom in between both of them to strike her. Also, since its doesn't show that Nagi changed position, so if she was protecting Mits, then how did she end up behind Nagi, Was the strike that hard to blow back that far, and wheres Mits? Yet, The fact that Mistoumi is the strongest of the 3 as the reason why Tetsuhito would strike him doesn't really convince me. Tetsuhito may have meant to strike Maya for a alterior motive, maybe to get a rise out of Nagi or Mits. Seems like Oh great likes to use hidden meanings behind what happens, but Ive been very wrong before, so who knows.MrProphet wrote:On the first panel we see Nagi walking to the side and Maya walking right behind Mitsuomi's shoulder.
