The swimsuit cover collection has ended.

And I made a typo in the title. Is it possible for me to edit it or does a moderator have to do it?

I kind of liked the splash page. It was.. uh.. tame for a change. It looked nice. lol

Glad to see Tanaka make an appearance, but he had a pretty haunting message.

At first I thought Rimi was all different. Relieved she isn't. Ryuto seemed concerned for her too.

Looks like things are about to heat up again. A whole arc of fights maybe?

Yami doesn't know that.

Thanks, Waco!

My thoughts on the chapter:

RIIIIIMMMMMMMIIIIIII!!!

When I saw the title Kensei's Project, I thought the chapter was going to be Kensei Ma doing something silly for the entire chapter.

When I saw Rimi, I really thought that she was broken. I love her expressions. They're the best.

It looks like Ryuto cares for Rimi. :wub:

At least more than before.

Ogata once again reminds me why he's my favorite Yami member. He is so creepy and laid-back, it's awesome. And does he ever wear shoes?

So, Ogata's team, Hermit, Rachel, and Chikage are going after the Shinpaku Alliance, eh?. Maybe we'll get to see Chikage vs. Renka!

And I think Mangapanda messed up the speech bubbles on the last page. Rimi's text should be where Mikumo's is and vice-versa.

Overall, I really liked it.

I really like this chapter.
So Tanaka will fight ogata and will have to decide whether to kill him and become like him or not kill him.
So shinpaku vs yomi?
What will hermit do?
This will be very interesting indeed.
Also I love splash pages like that,it was awesome to see for a change.

Mikumo said they're going to help with the murder so I guess they're going to help Ogata's team fight. How they're going to help? I have no idea.

Probably just fight.

I think there's a small chance that Nijima has come up with a plan for this.

The Yomi vs Shinpaku thing could be interesting, can't wait to see how it all goes down. Was nice to see Odin worry about Rimi too.

This is more or less what I imagine happening.

Berserker vs Siegried (rematch)

Lugh vs Takeda (rematch)

Rimi vs Miu (rematch)

Rachel vs Renka (rematch)

Chikage vs Ukita & Kisara (Just because it looks like Chikage might like Ukita almost like a big brother way)

Tanimoto vs Kenichi(rematch)

The rest of Shinpaku Alliance will most likely take on foot soldiers and the such.

Then somewhere in the middle of the fight, some of them will switch dance partners.

Then Rachel & Chikage will convert to the light.

These all seem plausible.

I'm thinking we'll see Ryuto in the fight. Maybe fighting all the people without specific people to fight. It would be kind of cool.

This yomi "test" makes me think back to Shou, and how he was supposed to inherit all the Yami members' styles. Both then and now, Saiga's disciple Kajima was left out of the running for that role. This makes me think he has some kind of weakness that prevents him from becoming the "chosen one" within Yomi. (which is strange, seeing as he's SAIGA's disciple)
