Hi dear! I've a question: considering that VKM is definitely a big mess, do you think that Hino could ever consider to come back to a monthly publishing? I've the feeling that if we have to wait two months every time we will wait 20 years before reading the finale... 😅

Hi there @white-queen-lacus 😊

If it were decided on popularity alone, then I think VKM could go back to monthly serialisation!

As far as I'm aware, VKM has some of the biggest sales figures out of all the series in LaLaDX, and the limited edition version of Volume 4 sold out pretty much immediately! (Although VK is a 'veteran' series so naturally it has a loyal following compared to the smaller and newer series that are published in LaLaDX.) But Hino's anniversary festival also seems to have been pretty successful, so people are definitely still interested in her work generally speaking.

The problem, however, is that Hino likes the pacing of releasing a chapter every 2 months lol; she said so in one of the VKM volumes.

So unless VKM's plot really picks up and outside factors like increased popularity, demand from fans, pressure from editors etc. force her into publishing monthly, I don't think it'll ever happen.

So I guess we'll all just be stuck here for a few more decades 😂

Hi dear!! What do you think of UT's number name? I guess it is a trick to not tell his true name (so... Another point on Cedric theory), but do you have any clue about the choice of those numbers?

I got another ask about that just recently from @chainsaw-to-the-heart and I’m trying to look into it.

@kurotwins checked out the numerology, and it’s an 11, which is powerful... but not uncommon.

I’m trying to see what else can be done with it. However, like I said before, it could be totally random and mean nothing more than he’s the 136649th suicide or the 136649th reaper recruit.

Considering Yana-san, though, I’m thinking it’s maybe not quite so arbitrary....

OMG That amazing DC picture with Ryo and Akira by Ishida-sensei is making me think of Hide and Kaneki... Just a feeling, no more else!! BTW The art is wonferful!!!

I hope they get a better ending tho ... Ishida, please!

And yeah, it’s amazing! It’s so awesome to see Ryo and Akira in Ishida’s style; I keep staring at it.

white-queen-lacus replied to your post: Now this isn’t something that I have any certain...

If I recall right (at least in the anime) he said that everything of him, current body and soul belong to his master until the contract is fulfilled, so perhaps even Sebastian has a soul. But honestly I don’t know if the same thing is in the manga (I guess it was when he talked to Grell in Red butler arc)!

Oh yes I remember that! Though I'm unable to find it in the manga, was it maybe this scene?

Even if it wasn’t, I'd still be a little suspicious since "my body and soul" is somewhat of an English speaking expression and I’d wonder if the original Japanese line explicitly mentioned "soul" or if the translators were using it as a substitute for "everything about me". Not sure! But I'd be interested to see it if anyone knew where it was, if it's actually in the manga lol. The longer Kuro gets the harder it is to find things...

Hello!! I hope to not be boring!! I am a huge fan of musicals (Kuromyu's are fantastic and in Italy I've personally watched Romeo and Juliet *Presgurvich version*)! I would really like to know what are your expectations for Tango on the Campania! :) I am really excited to see Lizzie finally on the stage!!

Not to be biased but as long as Furukawa Yuta is Sebastian I have absolutely no concern about anything this play does.I don't even care about the rest of the cast tbh, new cast old cast, doesn't matter. I just need Yun.

Although I would say we should let Izumi Shuhei have this one. He's the most senior member of the Kuromyu cast but he has never played the /real/ Undertaker. So in a way I feel his talent and experience as a serious, old-school theater senpai was never truly revealed on the Kuromyu stage. So I do look forward to seeing him in this play even though he has not been confirmed yet.

And I want a Takarazuka otokoyaku to play Francis. Because reasons. lol

I'll just leave the rest to the cast and crew because Kuromyu never disappoints and I never worry about anything. ヾ(o◕∀◕)ﾉヾ

When you get this, answer with five things that make you happy - then, send this ask to the last ten people on your recent activity :)

On the subject of things that make people happy... Pretty much anything can if you try hard enough, you know. I think that I answered this already a few times, but if I had to pick 5 specific things, it’d be 1) my gf 2) aesthetically pleasing things 3) my son, Makoto 4) intriguing food and drinks 5) my cat. I guess I’m a simple person... 

I’ll try to tag people who I’m familiar enough with to be sure not to piss them off too much?? If that’s a valid response.

@azweidos @chvvva @suga-is-sugoi @fallingintheblue @nearina @becklion 

And, uh, I don’t want to open my activity feed in another page so that’s it...

Hi dear!! :) I'm so glad that you are fan of Crimson Peak too!! I would like to ask you something! What do you think of the finale? Because I read somewhere that, since the story starts and ends as if it was a book written by Edith, it could be interpreted as the book's plot and not as events that have really happened. To me, the book has been written after the events, but everything really happened!

Hi @white-queen-lacus! Thanks for stopping by :) And yeah, I love Crimson Peak too! Yet another thing we have in common!

As for your question, I agree with your take! I think the book was written after everything took place and is one of those “based on a true story” things lol. We could interpret it as just a story Edith wrote, but that’s awfully boring + I doubt it’s what Del Toro intended! So yes, I think it’s just a book-ends thing where Edith narrates about the past.

Hope this helped!
