D.Gray-Man ch 175-178

So the thief is actually an orphan with innocence? Hoshino, do we really need a loud adolescent added to the cast? Maybe it'll be like Miranda where he gets shipped off and then comes back trained and awesome. Or maybe we'll never see him again.

But where are Miranda and Lenalee? It's been a while since we saw Miranda, and even longer with Lenalee. At least we had a nun (novice?) kicking Allen in the head and shooting Akuma to compensate.

Allen and Kanda being drawn all dark and demonic (almost) when they attack is fun. And did Kanda's partner (whose name I always forget) seriously cut off his own fingers to stop the Akuma virus from spreading? Excellent.

And I very much like Link so he'd better not be dead.

And apparently, the series is now on hiatus due to Hoshino's health. Didn't someone tell me a while back that there was a six month hiatus before because drawing the exorcists' uniforms caused a nervous breakdown?

Given how this left off (mid-arc, building to climax) I hope s/he (?) gets better soon.  And, you know, also for his/her own good.
