This made me think Elfen Lied.
GG Shirgure. Naked rampages are always fun.

I couldn't help but laugh throughout the entire chapter haha. THE RAT IS USING A MACHINE GUN HAHAHAHA. This chapter was just too awesome. I hope every single page of it gets colored. Please @Baby Joe you have to color at least one page. This is the time for your talents. I will beg.
This chapter had too much ecchi as always but you know what? I'm over it. The ecchi was balanced perfectly with fighting, action and comedy (emergency rations haha). I'd rate the chapter a perfect ten.
Also someone should add those first two pages to the gallery.

oh my god... breathtaking. This is artful! Sexy and yet not vulgar. Shigure's demeanor is just the best! And why am I talking in manga-catchphrase language?!
Edit: Renka is also incredibly awesome in that cheongsam! I am bleeding too much!

THIS is how HSDK should be. Funny and ecchi with a purpose. This chapter was amazing.

Probably the restraints.Probably because she was naked when the chapter started so there was no spontaneous clothes ripping like usual.Mr.Karate

This is also how I rationalized the fanservice. Especially after you hyped it up so much. y;

So. Could the knight in shiny armor perhaps be Shigure's father, that everyone knows isn't really dead (along with Sho)? It would explain the running on water, why you haven't seen his face, being able to put a shirt on Shigure that quickly without her smacking him, and lastly him already knowing Tochumaru's name.

I'm waiting for Ryuto to show up and talk about YOMI. I got my hopes up when I saw everyone at the headquarters. It was really nice to see Renka for a change, though.
@ChaiMan3000 Hmmm, I was thinking of that possibility. He was a blacksmith and this dude does wear a full suit of armor. But, Yami must not be very familiar with Shigure's father or he's a good actor.
@Rimi I don't know. I haven't worked on coloring panels in the longest time. I'll see what I can do.

I thought Shigure's father was just a master weaponsmith, not a master-swordsman...

Renka looked really nice in this chapter. She got way overshadowed though.

I don't know how much Yami knows about her father, but the armor person seems to be someone that might turn out to be important. I mean what other reason would Yami have for being nice to Shigure and knowing Tochumaru's name?
Well judging by the mile wide seikuken that her father had during his fight with Akisame, I'd say he's no slouch. Also he's Shigure's dad, he's got to be at least pretty dern good by default.

Awesome chapter. Breathtaking in its beauty, awesomeness, and humor. Best chapter for a while (not to say there weren't some good ones lately). Shigure is amazing. No nipples at all is silly and unbelievable, but we got to see everythign else I guess....
I believe the Knight is the Knight she jousted before. I recently reread that part of the manga, so there's a chance of it.
And as a side note, Renka was absolutely delicious in her one panel appearance. Thats all it takes for her to catch my attention.
GO team Shinpaku Alliance!

Chapter's out at MangaStream. Go oggle at the colored pages in high quality.

Agreed on both points. Shigure's father couldn't have known the name Touchumaru because the mouse is a pet of her later on in life, in fact, even after her period staying with Grandpa Kousaka.
The only member of Yami who knows about this is the knight whom she jousted with and Sai Kagerou.
And yes, in the rare moments that Renka is not running around like a cat, she is so delicious
