A few volumes! But yeah, I absolutely expect we'll lose him temporarily at least. Although I suppose technically anything's possible, we've seen two signs recently that Allen will probably survive this:I agree that Allen may not vanish permanently, but we will probably lose him for a few volumes after Nea takes over completely. I don't think the publishers would have too much of an issue with there being a personality change, as long as the recognizability of Allen's design remains relatively the same for marketing purposes. And, as much as I LOVE Allen, it would be a bit of a let down from a storytelling perspective if he never disappears/or disappears "as a technicality" if/when he gets past!Allen memories back. We've had SO MANY characters feel guilty over his 'inevitable' demise, as well as like 5 volumes worth of chapters bidding farewell to him... Considering the sheer number of characters that are dealing with dual personalities/memories/souls, its only fitting that even the MC is under genuine threat of being taken over. I'm sure if it happens it won't be permanent (as you said, shounen MC), but I truly think that it's gotta happen eventually for the story's sake.
Allen and Nea are surely going to be sharing that one body, some way or another (even if Allen really is permanently banished, he'll still be in Nea's dream world).The cover is beautiful!
I agree, Allen may not vanish, but maybe a transformation of himself, indeed... Still, it would be curious if Allen and Nea would have a fusion or maybe Nea is just a reflection of Allen and in fact, would not be two entities in one body but just two facets of the same person.
Regarding becoming the Earl... I still feel like the Crown Clown, the simple name of it, is a clue. It hides some meaning and I cannot figure it out yet.
It was! I've been thinking lately about how the scene of Allen somehow turning Mana into an akuma might not *only* be distorted; it's probably a completely false fabrication by Apocryphos. But we definitely have reason to believe that, as shown in the most recent flashbacks (and that I know I also read before, maybe in one of the Reverse novels? I can't remember...), Allen's Innocence arm was causing Mana to lose his battle to keep the Earl away. Wild that Apocryphos even used Cross of all people, considering. Actually, since Apocryphos knew Cross was there, that's probably why the further memories Allen has about Mana that we saw in the flashback are accurate. Apocryphos was hiding his presence so he couldn't afford to erase any further signs Mana is the Earl from Allen's memory.this chapter was short but it addressed a lot key information we were waiting for. the pages with Allen by Mana's coffin were heart breaking
I think so far the most important thing that made Allen to hang on was the fact that Mana said that he loved him before he was destroyed by Allen's Innocent. I just hope that the memory of that part is actually true but with Apocryphos's ability to rewrite memories, maybe what Allen remembers from that night is actually fabricated. whatever happened that night without Mana's love Allen will surly be broken and together with finding out that actually he was the on who turned Mana in to Millennium Earl I can not imagine what will happen to him
Just realized for some reason I didn't comment on this before, even though I wanted to! Crown Clown seems to be tied very closely with Allen and/or Nea's relationship with Mana doesn't it? The whole elegant, magical clown / creepy monstrous clown dichotomy. It's like it's imitating Mana's "Earl suit" (or whatever people are calling it). Did you see further connections besides that?The cover is beautiful!

Besides Viz official (or a bookstore local to you) for digital or physical volumes, there'sDo you know where I can find all the chapters ? I need to reread all the flashback chapters as I really lost the plot here
Sounds good, but the link was broken for me. It works from here at least. They reblogged the same post that's on Kougeki Scans' tumblr so I'm guessing jeidafei is a member, but there's no link to a back catalog of Edited Mangas, unless people are meant to go back through tumblr posts only?Jeidafei is the best. please make sure to read their version (when available) for the most accurate translation:
Thanks for posting. jeidafei is the translator of Kougeki Scans. they some times post the Kamui's lounge and D gray-man translations on their blog.Sounds good, but the link was broken for me.

But I'll keep on watching for a Kougeki Scans link on both the Kougeki blog as well as on jeidafei's now. Thanks!
