[Bombo]

ya ..

Spoiler for 15:

[Kunagisa]

Anyone read the special chapter from DTB II?

Spoiler for plot:

Where they're all inside the Gate and having a cooking contest to make food to satisfy Hei.

• Seems the purpose of making the contest is so that Madam will provide secret information to the winner and provide them a meal ticket with Hei.
• M16 failed because the Magician cheated to summon an entire course of meal.
• The FSB failed because Tanya wanted to use rats to cook because people found it popular that rats can cook (Ratatouille anyone?)
• "Section 3" failed because Hazuki just spends the entire time seducing Sawasaki.
• "Team Heroines" were able to make food (Misaki, Yin, and Suou all made a dish), but Hei ended up cooking up an entire banquet, so Hei wins lol.

it's pretty fun read given the silly premise, but it's nice to see a bunch of character together and being friendly to each other.

Spoiler for character:

Too bad Amber didn't appear, I mean it's damn Gate, at least give her a guest appearance =(.

I gotta admit, it was pretty funny how the last two panels had Hei with his harem gathered around him as he ate....

Yeah, that was a fun read.

Back to the flower! Chapter 16 was a really confusing read, but from what I gathered

Spoiler for 16:

Flower was remnant of a contractor/contractor-related object. To test this object, Pandora injected into that crazy dude, but he died as a result.

What happened at the end of season 1 with Hei in the gate caused him to reawaken again (?) with the ability to inject the seeds into another person as well as retaining his original contractor ability of turning things into sand. The recipient can use the flower's power, but they will both die after a few hours.

What happened with the girl was special, because she didn't die, and the flower didn't wither, which means they can move onto human experimentation on making the strongest army.

According to the latest Oricon Ranking, Vol. 2 manged to land on #9 with 60,780 copies sold on it's first week. Really glad to see the manga doing well.

BTW, does anyone know what is the latest published chapter?

[Bea Rabbit]

I am reading the Shikoku Hana series, since the first one is kinda..
yep, its great, still have to follow up though

[wandering-dreamer]

Holy, thread revival time!

Spoiler for Since it's been a while I don't want to spoil those who've forgotten to keep an eye on the series. :P:

So, chapter 17 just came out and this one is from Misaki's point of view again. Section four is going to be dissolved in the near future so we now know how she ended up in such a remote place at the start of the second season but I'm betting the group gets in one last big fight to secure Harvest.

[Poetic Justice]

It seems like the manga will be coming to an end soon, I'm glad they decided to explore the lore in a bit more depth but not enough to satisfy. Introducing and explaining this new phenomenon of flower just makes this a self contained story which has little relevance to the overall plot.

Yes, it was interesting to see what exactly happened to Misaki and the other members of section 4 prior to season 2. We even saw what happend to her friend from the astronomical observatory.

A new chapter came out today.

Spoiler for 18:

Loved the way that cocky contractor was killed. It looks like they managed to get that flower under control, but I doubt that special squad will be enough to kill Harvest.

[Poetic Justice]

Spoiler for 18:

The special squad is going to be owned so badly.

I'm not realy sure O__O "The Special squad" is kind of creepy...

[Yu Ominae]

They use FN SCARs for their main weapon. Appears to be 14.5 barrel types.

And....

Spoiler for Stuff:

They can hold on their own. See how they wasted two contractors.

[Battler-kun]

Woah!

Hei with mask = Superhei!

Epic.

I love the manga! It's so good!

A shame it didn't get animated!

[chaos_alfa]

Chapter 19 was awesome.

This manga is so much better than the second season of Darker than Black.

[Kanon]

The last page of chapter 19 was so freaking awesome. IT'S ON!

No doubt there. It was like someone took a fat dump on DtB and called it Season 2.

[MrTerrorist]

Chapter 20 was awesome with Camp & Hei.

[Vanehei]

Im just loving the manga.... BONES, please, please... make something with it.

[wandering-dreamer]

I did like the second season of DtB but when you look at the manga and I'm totally confused as to why they didn't make this into the anime instead. XD Seriously BONES, you couldn't milked this series so much more!
