Weird

I think there won't be a new chapter... I have no proof to say it's a fact but, usually in sensei's twitter there is at least one page of the chapter but there is none... I think we will get it until the next month, I would be more than happy to be wrong here. I really hoped for the continuation of the last update... But well, I can't say I'm not happy with the extras. (づ￣ ³￣)づ

Oops... I meant on the next issue of the magazine, which is in October. Yamane Ayano is on the next issue so there is a possibility that we might get the continuation until then...

what confused me the most is that they said in the last chapter that the next one will be released this month T_T

Yeah... I thought the same! But it's understandable... I mean, she worked a lot and I prefer a 4 month hiatus then 15 months again. But let's enjoy the extras until October! ╮(￣▽￣)╭

There would have been a page or 2 leaked by now so I'm almost certain there will be new chapter from the main story. Four months wait for a halloween extra and it isn't even halloween, great isn't it? Tell me again why this series deserves money thrown at it?

Tell me again why it matters so much to you. Like why are you here all the time, expending so much time and energy on something that holds no value for you? What obscure libido are you satisfying, if that's possible? What exactly is it about this manga and its success that fills your spleen with such bitter bile? And have you considered something truly radical like--oh, I don't know--maybe moving on?

The comedy, the drama, Asami, the sex scenes, Kirishima, the diversity of the extras, Akihito, the artwork, Sakazaki-beast, the BDSM scenes, Fei Long, Fei Long's hair, Suoh, Hot Monk-san, the story arcs, the action, ehh... I guess the romance, Akihito's sweet ass, the clothing styles, Asami's hair gelled, Mikhail, Asami's hair ungelled, the sheer sexiness of the characters, the sushi, Yoh, the extraordinary efforts of the mangaka herself who created said manga we are all currently commenting on, and who spent the last few months prepping the new volume of Finder AND a new volume of Crimson Spell as well as creating two mini manga booklets to accompany both editions of Finder that were released at the same time as Crimson Spell, also painting a cover as well as creating a special Halloween extra for BBoy Magazine which does its release two months ahead of time because that's how magazine dates work- the date actually being the "off sales" date on which sellers are supposed to pull the magazine from the stand, which means an October release of this edition would've been on sale in November until just past Christmas so either you get it early, or it runs into the Christmas season which would generate more complaints, so you're damned if you do and damned if you don't... and those are the reasons I throw money at it.

Did I mention the how much fun the characters' personalities are, and their general sexiness? Yeah, I'll go with just that.

I mean, it should be obvious that it holds value to me. Normal people criticize media when criticism is due. I may be the minority here but you are the minority in the world. Go back to writing class, your metaphors might impress someone there.

Touché.. I don't have much to say against what you said really.
I should have put 'publishers' instead of series.
No where said 'next issue will be a Halloween special'. Last year there was no Halloween special, the year before it wasn't either. No one speculated that there might be a halloween special. As far as we were concerned we were getting a normal continuation as promised last chapter. But they decided to change plans without a warning to anyone. By they I mean the publishers, this is likely their decision not YA's.
If the posts here are anything to go by, no one likes it. Not a single person here would pick a filler chapter over a continuation of the story.
The four months makes it much worse. I can't fathom why they would do this when they know people have been waiting so long. It's obvious to me that they just don't care about real fans of the story, thus don't deserve money. If it makes any difference, YA on the hand does, I'd rather put money straight into YA's pocket over the publishers.

You do not know that it was the publisher's "decision" and not YA's to go with an extra and not a new chapter. There was a Halloween cover in the works (as evidenced by an early draft sketch of vampire Asami shared on YA's twitter weeks ago) to go along with the Halloween extra. That fact suggests that it's far more likely that this was the plan all along but that there was a miscommunication between author and publisher that led to the "promise" of a new chapter rather than it being some sort of money-grabbing ploy on the part of the evil publisher.

Try to imagine yourself in YA's shoes. She's in the middle of drawing multiple new volume covers for both this manga and Crimson Spell as well as preparing for volume launches and book signings. What is more likely in this given scenario: that she drops work on a new chapter because the evil publisher insisted on a Halloween extra? (Which doesn't even make any sense. I can't imagine a publisher deliberately asking her to interrupt the flow of the story for an extra.) Or that she opted to do a quick extra to fill a contractual obligation and give herself more time to work on the new chapter when she has fewer demands on her time?

I'm still curious what purpose you think bleating about this on a piracy website serves. It doesn't paint you as a "real fan" by any means.

That was just a response to "it isn't even Halloween..."

There's always a flurry of extras released following what is marked as the end of a volume. That said, while I do appreciate the extras (most of them), "a promise not delivered" is grievance everyone shares to varying degrees.

I don't think they decided to change plans without warning. In fact, it was absolutely shrewd and calculated planning on Libre's part.

Oh wow, yes! Can I quote this post in my blog (with credits, of course), just so I can respond with a gif of Picard slow clapping? Lol PS: I'm your fan!! *-* *-* SEXY BUCKET LIST IS THE BEST THING EVER, we don't deserve such a blessing.

I don't want you to feel cornered or something (J unleashed) but... Dammit... It's one of my favorite stories too... The day it gets updated I'll cry of happiness...

If I could like this comment then I would
