Lunar New Year Snippets from Zero-Sum Issue 03/11

Snips, Snips and More Snips from Zero-Sum March Edition!!!

March Cover Spotlight Goes To “Makai Ouji: Devils and Realist“

What’s in store, what’s in store?! Tons of snips. I got a little carried away during a recent short break and tried to squeeze in a snip of nearly every manga title…nearly but not all, mostly those that gotten hold of my short attention span as I quickly ran the mag thru the scanner. I also just realized I’d forgotten to make a customary ‘Lunar New Year’ post. It isn’t too late to pop a little greeting in here as the lunar festival will not end until Feb-17th which will be the 15th day of the Chinese Lunar Calendar.

So, I would like to take this opportunity to wish every one who drops by tBPII a “Happy Lunar New Year of the Rabbit“. Xin Nian Kuai Le. 新年快乐! 幸せな正月! 행복 음력 설날!

Enjoy this humongous picspam!

Colour spreads and snips from Kapitel 66: Tiashe Pt 3
Gorgeous colour illustration of abnormal Ouka and Tiashe

I love this cover. Been a while since we see Teito with the Ghosts.

I really like how Fia Kreuz stay true to protecting the last heir of Raggs, keeping his promise to Tiashe’s father.  The bittersweet interactions between Fia and Tiashe are so sad. The appearance of the other 7-Ghosts later in this chapter is what I’ve been wanting to see for a long time. It means that the Ghosts knew about Tiashe from the very beginning. I’m actually interested in knowing why Vertrag hasn’t yet reincarnated. Is it because Fia Kreuz is the last from the House of Raggs and there isn’t anyone else from the house except for Teito who is Raggs royalty. I reckon the line died when Fia was murdered.

::Amatsuki::
Chapter 77

This last panel pretty much tells you what Amatsuki has been building up to from the very first chapter.

::Makai Ouji: Devils and Realist::
Chapter 16 – Some boat racing going on and foul play of course

Is the glasses guy friend or foe?

::Karneval::
Chapter 41 – Not a lot going on in this chapter. It’s mostly on Gareki discovering how useless he really is when facing danger. The chapter cover is nice though. Karoku and Yogi look like long lost bros.
