Mag Updates: Gekkan Asuka Issue 12

Sharing snippets from Gekkan ASUKA Issue 12

PSD Yakumo is the cover bishie of the month


Belated update but nonetheless, I know some have been waiting for the snips and spoils from this issue. Fans of Yakumo *rejoice* cos issue 12 is Yakumo centric. Current anime episode (7) is full of win. The whole mysterious backdrop came to the fore after such a painstakingly slow buildup since the beginning.  Other than Yakumo stealing the spotlight, there’s not much else to write home about except for the stunning colour pages for Samurai Drive and also for ‘The Conductor’. I thought these two chapters were winsome. On ‘Samurai Drive’, there’s a newcomer in Kokonoe’s school and she’s a pretty girl with a deadly sword skill. The rest of the guys go ga-ga over her but she shows them she’s not interested and talked with her sword. She tested Kokonoe too but his skills are totally on a whole different level. He doesn’t even really draw his sword. 😆 As for ‘The Conducter’, it appears that Tamaki has been snooping into Yuuki’s past with the “help” of the mysterious reporter dude. Naomi on the other hand, is sinking deeper into traumatic distress. Why do I get the impression that she might have another personality which stem from some horrid incident that she didn’t want to remember. It’s either that or a creepy dude from her past has access to her apartment and did all those weird writings on the mirror to spook her and make her go slowly insane.

That’s about it for this issue. I’m lazy now so you won’t find me babbling on as much (not that I babble that much anyway). 😛
