Omake

Spoiler

Quick translation: (First of all, Lenalee is love)
Marie: Woa...What exactly did you do to Lenalee, Kanda?
Lenalee & Kanda: NOTHING
Komui: KAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNDAAAAKUUUUUUUUN

Me: I KNEW IT! There's no way Lenalee wouldn't do something to him after what he did
IF only Bak joins in the fun..

Extra chapter

Spoiler

Quick translation:
Page 1:
Scientist: Ah, if you're talking about that person, he's already quit (obviously, he means Johnny) Something about taking charge of his family affair. That's right, Timothy caught a fever a while ago so you didn't know.

Page 2:
Komui: Wanna have a match with me?

Page 3:
Timothy: If I win, you're going to make a Golem that looks like Tim!

The last panel is just a special thanks page.

My thought: TIMOTHYYYYYYYYYYYY! HOSHINO HASN'T NEGLECT YOU!!!

 

[MSofAofCOCA]

Lavi's ticket: Put on bus FOR ETERNITY.
The young!Allen on the back cover is absolutely adorable!
Also, i think seeing both the front and the back cover together is absolutely wonderful. So pretty!
Oh, poor Timothy!!! :C I would really love to see more of him

Thank you so much for the post!!

 

[relory]

... THANK YOU SO MUCH, Namiz!! This volume is full of love! *waiting for her own copy* <3

 

[Bloody Queen]

Nyaaa~ Thank you, Namiz!

Wow, only one left in the shelf? Does it that mean DGM has become more popular?

So, so? What does Lavi's fortune says? And can you compare the drawings' differences between the chapters in the SQ Jump and in the volume?

The omake with Kanda... It's pure humor!

 

[verduister]

I made a Edited Manga of the extra chapter~

Volume 23 - Extra Chapter (Edited Manga):

Spoiler

@Namiz: Thank you for the scans! I hope you don't mind that I used your scans for a Edited Manga. If you do, tell me and I'll remove them immediately.

 

[Sensei42]

Thanks for the images~

I'm really hope we get to see Timothy later and knowing Hoshino's treatment of support characters(AWESOME) we'll see him soon enough.

 

[Niko_kun]

Nice backcover! And sue didint forget Lavi haha

The extra chapter was touching, poor timothy ://

Thank u all

Can someone translate hoshino coments.?

 

[Namiz]

@verduister: Of course I don't mind! I'm glad that you would take time to scanlate it! Do you mind translate other omake as well? My kanji's knowledge isn't that good yet and I'm sure others would love it if you do

 

[verduister]

^ Okay, thanks again~


Volume 23 - Omakes (Translations)

Spoiler

Sign: A few years later...

Allen: Did you stay out all night again? Please cut it out already!! How many bills does it take for you to be satisfied? Drinking all over the place. You’ve made me into a gambling king. Are you alright with that!?

Cross: That’d be fine, wouldn’t it?

Allen: Would it? Would it!?!

Komui: Kaaaaandaaaaa-kuuuuunnn.

Marie: He sounds furious. What in the world did you do to Lenalee, Kanda?
(→ Couldn’t see because he’s blind. )

Kanda & Lenalee: Nothing.

Bottom: It could’ve been worse. At least she didn’t kick him.

Jiji: Oi. I heard Kanda quickly sneaked off again after coming back.

Reever: Eh?

Jiji: What are we gonna do with the party we prepared for him!? We already used the funds!! What are we gonna do?!!

Reever: That’s not the main problem here...

Sign: My editor’s reaction when I told him Allen would appear dressed as a clown.

Editor: Huh!? The same clown outfit as Mana!? With make-up and a bald wig!? Seriously, you’re planning to make the main character wear a bald wig, ehm, uhm~~~!? (sweats) I’m not sure that’s a good idea, eh~~~~~~!? (sweats) Will it look cool? Will you make it look cool!? Is it really okay!?

Hoshino: I’ll do my best.
(I don’t know whether he’ll look cool but I’ll give him fake eyelashes, and I’ll make him look good, and I’ll quickly make him lose the wig. My child (Allen) is training himself so he’ll be fine no matter what.)

Bottom: My brain filter resembles that of a sumo wrestler.

I have no clue what she means with that last line lol.

 

[capricorn]

There are a lot of stories to be told in this manga with some really heartwarming moments. I think this extra chapter thing is a good idea, I hope Hoshino makes it a trend from now on. Thankyou guys for scanning.

 

[fuff]

which volume was extra chapter for the pervious volume or the one before that...which ever one had a extra?

 

[Namiz]

^That would be volume 20

(translation) Volume 23 - Hoshino's comment

Spoiler

Photo: The writing on the boxes says "clown melons".

Hoshino Katsura:
I was in a taxi and I happened to pass by a greengrocery when I had the sudden urge to take this photo. I suddenly thought about how much I like Allen. But I love Tim even more (badaboom). It wasn’t until I hadn’t drawn him in a while that I became aware of Tim’s strong presence. In this 23rd volume I discovered that drawing Tim soothes me.

Poor Lavi. I love how snarky some answers on his fortune slip are

 

[NonExisted]

Thank you for the translation, verduister ^^~

Market trends: The author wants to treat you to yakiniku.

I love how innocent Hoshino can be
