yeah I kinda really missed Lavi too, but I loved this chapter so much that I don't even care....

ughh god that was such a good one! I wanna cry ;A;
as for that person that has appeard

so glad they found him, just wanted to say that this is exactly as I thought it would be. glad to see I was so damn right XD
and I do belive that this is not Link, but the acoprypos in his form... since he killed him (;A;0 and there's no way Link would act and look like that. If it was really Link he would have rushed to save him before even Kanda, as you can see he has been following his tha whole time. dammit I just knew it was him in Link's form! I knew right away at the start! I HATE YOU SO MUCH APOCRYPOS!!!!!!!!!

I can see Hoshino-sensei is right back to her track! I just LOVED all the recent chapters.. it feels as if the series is back to it's old glory.... also glad to see her art is improving again... it always made me so sad to see how that hand injury affected her piece

First thought when finished: LINK IS BACK! But after re-glancing through it, I think I'd have to agree that isn't Link. You can see part of Apocryphos' rosary around his neck. I can't see Link wearing such a thing. (What's the deal with giving everyone similar-looking coats lately, Hoshino?)

Don't tease me like that, Hoshino! Granted that isn't really Link, I still believe he is alive somewhere. Leverrier /needs/ him for something connecting to the 14th. I will still keep believing that they faked his death in order to keep him safe until he is needed.

Hmm. I can't tell if that's the 14th or Mana. Perhaps a younger version of Mana? It'll probably be clear once this chapter is translated.

Allen crying was a bit adorable and Kanda's reaction to both Allen and Johnny breaking down like that was quite funny. Makes me want the next chapter all the more sooner~!

The Link thing is confusing. At first glance at the silhouette, I thought it was the Noah Fiddler, but then I saw Link at the end. I really do think it's him. Dunno maybe the translations will confirm it ^^

best chapter in a while..I just loved the interactions between kanda and allen and also love the fact that kanda calls him by his name again, it shows how much he cares and johny crying along with allen was cute and kanda's reaction was funny lol..if it was going on break there should've been at least 50 pages to make up for the lost time ToT

Is it just me, or is Hoshino setting Johnny up to be Allen's 14th awakening victim?

Cross - chapter 167: "What would you do if I told you you'll have to kill someone you love, when you become the 14th...?"

Ring a bell? I have a feeling this is why Johnny was chosen by Hoshino to follow Allen. She has to follow through with her promise and kill off somebody, but she wouldn't want to make it the one main characters (Kanda, Lavi, and Lenalee). She needs them, and they make the series. But, she doesn't necessarily need Johnny. In fact, after this Search for Allen arc is through, I can't see a further purpose for keeping Johnny other than the fact that we all love him now... and even that precedes his death. Hoshino wouldn't want to kill off someone without leavng her readers with emotional scars.

Build him up and break him down. That's the pattern I'm seeing. I wonder how this will affect Allen, only if it comes true of course.

I like Johnny just fine, but that wouldn't have much of an impact on me. I hate how MC's have the plot shield. I hope this loved one is someone quite important. I have, and still assume, this person to be Cross. I'm one of those 'Cross Is Out There~' fans.

It would still make a little bit of sense for him to actually be Link. He could have been sent out by Hitler to keep an eye on Allen but without getting involved. I mean that's what his job always was right? Supervising Allen Walker. He would just be continuing along the same line, though it seems a little strange for good old Link to just stand back like that.

If he's not Link though...Ugh, this Apocryphos theory just makes the cliffhanger 3 times worse. Two months ;_;

I think it's funny that Kanda calls Allen "Allen" now, sometimes at least XD

...Can't decide if Link is a good guy or not...

Anyway, awesome chapter!! I love seeing DGM updates!

Hmmm, what a good chapter, Neah was crying for allen, that's pretty huge. I knew link was alive, Levellier did ask the old guy (forget his name) to heal him after all. Looking forward to the next chapter

Finally, it came out!
I enjoyed this chapter, even though I'm suffering from Lavi-withdrawal symptoms.
I agree that it CANNOT be Link, since he had such a strong bond with Allen, and wouldn't have hidden himself. But then again, there may be complications with the Black Order that I forgot about.
It's been such a long story with such long breaks within the release of each chapter, that I feel like I have to re-read the whole manga just to refresh my memory.

Ahaha, Johnny's method to wake Allen up: "Maybe we should read one of General Cross's bills aloud"

Although I feel like not much happen, it's still awesome not the less.

I Lol when Tim ate the transceiver. xD Golem sleeping was quite cute though.
We get see young handsome Mana.
Allen-Kanda-Johnny conversation in this chapter are funny. Poor Allen, Suffering become worst.
That...Link...is it him...or someone else?:S
When reading this chapter, can't stop myself thinking is Allen becoming younger when he's in human form?:P

Considering the whole "gray" motive, I am more than betting tht Allen and 14th will just become one person, without either of them disappearing and that he will have to unite both noah(black) and innocence(white) powers, truly walking in between the dark and light .

I am so excited for the next chapter.
Did anyone else think that Allen was acting a bit insane? He looked like he was loosing it to me. Then again, I don't really blame him. If I were in that situation... >.<
I hope that at the end of the chapter that was actually Link. They are kind of screwed if that is apocryphos with Allen in that state, and Jimmy not being able to do much of anything.
I can't wait two months! I am way too impaitent.

I betting my life on this...It's Link!! If Kanda's senses were tingling when they were finding Allen, then he's correct now (Has a feeling I'll get flamed for this) And besides we readers have to think of something (like Link is alive and maybe Allen's coming-soon encounterment with the 14th) to forget that Lavi isn't still there.

Huh? Was that Mana in Allen's/the 14th's vision?

Looks like the process has begone; the Innocence has not imploded on him yet though.
