Shaman King kangzengbang ch290

[lucathia]

I just skimmed through the chapter, not paying attention to much except...

HAO! PONYTAIL!



I've always wanted to see Hao with his hair up. Even better with the new, polished style.

Now readers of my old, sappy, long stream of consciousness fic will have reference! Much cooler reference than my fanart of him. |D

This needs to be made into an icon. Just like Lyserg with glasses.

The chapter filled in some missing scenes and they're getting into the subject of saving Hao. I snickered when Hao thought to himself "kinda Heian?" from reading Yoh's thoughts. I'm not sure what exactly Ren is doing, but he seems to want to end the cycle of hatred somehow. Sadly, I don't remember who Nichrome's brother is anymore. =/ Nice to see Nichrome around...even though he's losing badly.

woah, his styles is pretty nice now *___* They don't look like little babies anymore! haha.

I need to revisit shaman king over the summer! *although, i only really paid attention to the anime...than the manga*

The style in the new chapters is pretty!! There are some inserts of how the characters look when they grow up too...they look a lot nicer in this version than the drawings he had before.

Haha, before, the characters got shorter and shorter as the story went along.

I barely remember any details. Oh well, at least I still remember the main characters.

Inserts? Is that online somewhere?

[lucathia]

Here. All the new reprints have some extras about the characters.

I just read that chapter a few days ago too, still love Hao's whole ponytail and sportswear pajamas. Your fic link brings back old memories in the fandom time *u*

On the other note, glad to see the author finally focusing on the details instead of skipping straight to the aftermath of the fight scenes.

Gosh, this fandom is so old that I don't even have the icon for it anymore

I was staring at the sportswear just as much as his ponytail. XDDDD Nice seeing him in something other than his poncho. It's been a long time...time just passes too quickly (and there are so many interesting series out there...)

I like the more serious focus and all the missing scenes. Have you finished reading it all? I haven't read the chapters that haven't been scanlated...I hope the ending ties most things up and isn't abrupt. There's so much more this series can cover.

I don't think I ever had an icon for it!

Yup, I was able to read through all the 34 of the old volumes in Chinese a few years back. I was disappointed with all the fast-forwarding near the end, so I'm definitely appreciating the new fill-in parts.

I think the final reprint volume came out already? Can't wait for the full scanalation of it.

[lucathia]

I read the Chinese version too. I never managed to keep all the names straight. All the fast forwarding at the end was disappointing. =/

The last volume came out last month, I think. I have RAWs for it, but I'm missing the end of volume 26 so I can't read them.
