Below the cut is the cover for volume 18 and some possible news on the current hiatus.
Possible News on the Manga's Hiatus
According to
TitaniumChloride's post at MangaHelpers.com, a poster at 2chan said that Hoshino published a statement in the Japanese 18th volume that she plans to return to serialization sometime in the summer and volume 19 will be released in December. That's a long way away, huh? ^_^; She also stated the heights and blood types of Timothy and Emilia:
Timothy - Height:131cm; Blood Type O
Emilia - Height: 165cm; Blood Type A
It is currently June the 2nd in Japan and the 18th volume will be released June the 4th. The release date at Amazon.co.jp still says a June 4th release date
here, and I've been reading June and/or June the 4th everywhere else. So I speculate that chances are that somebody on 2chan got a slightly early copy, read their volume, and posted the news. So although all of this news is unconfirmed, it's still likely it could turn out to be true.
Well, Mangahelpers.com has confirmed this news spoiler to be false
here. Sorry everyone! And it seemed like it could turn out for the better in such a drought of DGM news. >w<; I shall keep an eye out for any good news (hopefully confirmed next time).
Volume #18's Cover
Here's a medium sized scan of volume 18's cover
here! (Click the spoiler tag to see it.) I wonder if the cover is from a blown up scan from
this advertisement from Weekly Shounen Jump Issue 27 (last week's issue).
It looks like some more spoilers pics have been released from volume 18 that came out recently in Japan at MangaHelpers.com
here, starting with post #237. Just scroll down the page, and you'll see them. The RAW download should be out at MH soon too. Enjoy!
I hope at least part of my news post brightened your day or at least didn't annoy you for lack of the news being confirmed yet. =3 Just keep your eye's peeled for more news! I know I will. Maybe we'll get a confirmation on this news soon. ( I love
MangaHelpers.com! <3 )
Please feel free to discuss and speculate below. :)
