Read it too.

Spoiler for The last volume:

All's well that ends well since Jonah was found by Lutz and got together with the gang after he decided to split from Kaspar, although he threw his AKS-74U away in frustration. I grinned at the scenes with Chiquita and Jonah.

Koko looks good with short hair, but I think Karen should've kept her short hair as well since she grew it while working with Dr. Minami. And the last part is a continuation of the last chapter where he asks Kaspar to leave him alone.

I'm a bit confused on the whole sequence of events now...
Could someone please post a more detailed summary of vol. 11?
I'd really appreciate it.

P.S. I think it's great how the scene of Jonah as an adult throwing away the AK is in volume 1!

[Ridwan]

2 years jump, huh ?

Well, how old was Jonah before the jump ? 10 ? 12 ?

Also, while I've got myself upon the RAW, I'd definitely appreciate both spoilers from Japanese-literates, since scanlations for volume 10 & 11 won't likely to appear for quite a long time...

[Yu Ominae]

Jonah seemed to be around 9-10ish at least.

After his last encounter with Koko, he seemed to be 17-18ish.

[dfens]

Um you guys got it wrong their was no time skip Jonnah is the same age look at his outfit he is wearing the same one when he left Casper.

That one image stretches him so he looks taller.

I just skimmed volume 11 but got the jist of it. Will read it when I have time.

Spoiler for :

No, that scene only in anime, in manga no ones know why Chinatsu become Oschestra memeber

[Yu Ominae]

Thanks. Helps clear things up.

[Yu Ominae]

Alright episode 5 aired and there's one scene that was not fully depicted IMO/IIRC.

Thinking about that now, someone suggested that Jonah's 11 or 12 when the manga started. The anime states that the show takes place in 2012.

I got hold of volume 7 not long ago, but don't understand the punchline of that volume's Munmungand (the gag chapter at the end of each volume).

Spoiler:

Koko, Karen, Miami and Chiquita are playing mahjong, and Karen gets blindsided by Koko with what happens to be a low value hand. My knowledge of mahjong is not all that good, so I didn't get what was so funny about it.

Well manga and anime will always have minuscule - vast differences. They need edit and add in parts in order for it to make sense.

Its funny because in the end the end Koko is related to being a snake(Jormungand) at the way she plays mahjong. In mahjong you have four sessions. With each person being dealer. Once four sessions are up whoever has the most points win. At the start it seems like Koko is out of shes just smiling even though shes losing points. But in the end shes the one that comes out winning. If you don't really understand mahjong i'd recommend saki or akagi both are mahjong mangas.

For the guy who says it won't get translated. It'll get translated it just be awhile.

At least this manga has a end. Black Lagoon... we'll it ever see the light of day?

[Yu Ominae]

Sadly agree with you there, sleepy.

[Yu Ominae]

Here is an excellent discussion on the manga.

I must warn you all on the spoilers, especially with discussion regarding the ending.

[jwai]

I picked up Volume 9 this week:

Spoiler:

Wiley is pretty damn entertaining. Not only does he defuse bombs, he counterattacks with them!

Is Koko's age ever indicated in the manga?

Will Valmet ever get beyond gushing about Koko?

[Yu Ominae]

Spoiler for Spoiler:

We don't know if Valmet gets over Koko, but she still will work for her.

As for Koko's age, the manga/anime sites don't say so I assume she's in her 20s/early 30s.

[Yu Ominae]

Looks like some Jormungand doujin's already out.

And I read one already...

[MrTerrorist]

Let me guess.... is it about Jonah and Koko or something else?

[Sumeragi]

More likely Valmet and sleepwalking Koko.

[gopackgo]

Lame ending, felt forced/rushed. I would have like to see Koko and Jonah get together.
