End of days

Last Gaiden ep teaser. Not sure which is worse-- not having all the text or not being able to read the text that's given because it was taken with a cell phone. What I can make out of the line that's given has slave of duty! Goujun devoting his few remaining moments to singing Addio del pasato as he spits blood recording Our Gang's demise, except that the kanji sure look like 'their attachment.'

Roll on, Kinokuniya's copy and/or saiyuki_manga.

Envies you your next week's copy. The sneak preview looks almost heart-warming, so fear not but boldly read.

Boldly read indeed. ;_: <- that was my face looking at those pics. Gaiden was/is such a good idea. I'm glad Minekura took that direction and explored it. It gives much more weight to journey to the West...

Yes, it does. And especially because the former incarnations are so different from the present ones, while you can still see how they got from here to there.

Here (http://deathnote.ru/ds/m.php?p=sgaiden34.rar) is a link to the last chapters in Russian, if that helps. I mean, the pictures are pretty? XD Hopefully we'll get a translation soon.

Thank you for the link. However I seem to be going round in circles looking for something that opens .rar files, and worrisomely being offered only programs that *fix* them. How does one read a .rar file?

And do you mean it's a Russian scanlation? In which case, maybe I'll wait for saiyuki_manga. It's the dialogue I want more than the pictures. (Dear god, how do the Russians get their issues so fast?)

I use WinRar (http://rarsoft.com/)--theoretically, it's a trial-based thing, but you never have to actually pay for it. I've been using my copy for years. It is a very handy program.

And yeah, Russian scanlation. There are some very, very beautiful textless spreads, which is the main attraction for me [ahahah shallow;;], because there're four in a row, iirc. v extravagant, v gorgeous. I can definitely understand wanting to wait, though. XD Consider it a teaser?

Teaser indeed. The textless spreads are gorgeous but I'm aching to know what all those nameless heavenly guys are saying in the opening pages. Text is me, always.

And OMG is Paint ever a useless program. Can't cut a picture without saving it as something new, can't resize and constrain proportions as in Photoshop... Hence no plaguey ill Goujun icons until my copy comes.
