I wonder what it's going to be about. Thanks commander.

 

 

You are welcome. :)

 

 

This will probably be the first series involving vampires I will be actively looking forward to and interested in.

 

Yeah, me too. Mochizuki managed to take Alice in Wonderland and put a unique twist on it with PH, so I'm optimistic about what she will do with this.

 

steampunk huh.. i'm looking forward to the beautiful steampunk designs!

 

The steampunk aspect definitely has me excited. I found a scan from the manga too:

I can't seem to remember where I left off so I'm gonna reread the series via volumes (I've got up to Volume 16)... so rereading is gonna be interesting..

Btw the final two volumes are officially translated by yen press.

Yup, the entire series has been published now. I snatched up the last two volumes so I'm now a happy owner of the entire series.

 

Feel free to post your thoughts on the reread as you go through, if the mood strikes you!

[LuckyChi7]

I think I've decided to read the series again once I get all the other volumes I don't have in my collections as of yet, but I did get these yesterday:

 

 

 

 

 

Don't worry I haven't spoiled myself.. I figured I'll get these while I have the chance plus they were the only ones they had over at my Barnes and Noble. 

 

 

Now I just need to get Volumes 17-22 and then I'll be able to complete my journey with this series. 

 

 

 

I think I'll start reading from Volume 1 again  sometime this upcoming week, since I don't recall where I left off.

 

 

and don't worry I'll leave my thoughts on how the reread goes... Probably start on Tuesday!!

[LuckyChi7]

Okay so I finally got around to rereading the first chapter via Volume 1 again, and man it was really amazing jumping back into it after such a long time.  That opening sequence from chapter 1 was just absolute greatness  with the stuff that happened with Oz  and the introduction of Alice was just absolutely beautiful, and that ending damn if anything that's worth continuing the story. 

 

Leave more updates a little later today.

I look forward to seeing your thoughts as you get farther in. It only gets better. I've been rereading the manga (for the fourth? time) as I buy the volumes, but I got distracted with work. PH definitely one of those series I never get tired of no matter how many times I revisit it.

I can see why.. it's really captivating and such great characters too granted I've only read up to Volume 9 before I stopped which is why I'm reading it from the beginning agian.

Btw rereading chapter 2 was pretty damn crazy in a good way cause what Alice did and especially the rabbit side too like holy hell wadi t amazing especially when it came to Oz too.. ahh I'm gonna start reading the following chapter right now..

Expect another update later on in the day/night.

Happy to see you enjoying your reread so far!

[LuckyChi7]

Thought I'd give you guys an update about my reread status is still going on I've just ben a little distracted with my book, but I did start it back up yesterday from where I left off with Chapter 3 and OMG the stuff that Oz had to go through in the Abyss with Alice along with with the Sharon disguise creature was really interesting, and also I know it's not really liking pairing thing, but this gave me some feels: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also  I saw this today at Barnes and Noble, but I'm not picking it up yet since I do wanna finish up Pandora Hearts first.  Though, have any one of you guys picked it up yet?

 

 

[LuckyChi7]

Okay I did say I was going to keep updating on how things went with Pandora hearts up until I caught up to where I stopped at with Volume 9, and that's something I promised. However, the second I finished rereading Volume I just couldn't stop myself from continue reading cause that's how damn good it was and I was up pretty late to every night at least until 2 or 3 in the morning just reading the chapters after coming home from work, and then tonight when I got back I was like okay I got two volumes left, and I'm pretty sure there's a lot of details I probably missed that most likely I'll probably pick up during a slower read through on the series on a chapter by chapter basis basically 1 chapter per day which I am going to start on Friday cause tomorrow I'm picking up Jun Mochizuki's  next series The Case Study of Vantias Volume 1 cause damn she's just simply amazing. She might be the first mangaka I've come across that's actually brought me to tears with the series finale like damn it was so beautiful. I mean Oz, Alice, and Gil in the final pages and then the little tea party segment god damn god damn the journey and the fight let alone the feels I mean damn the twists and turns this series. I'm glad that I picked up this series when I did on that day because i never really would've got the chance to experience a story that kept it's writing quality all the way through to the very end.  So far I feel Hiro Mashima (at least with the Rave Master manga, NOT FAIRY TAIL)  and Seishi Kishimoto with O Parts Hunter, Hiromu Arakawa have been the only mangakas that kept their consistencies all the way through from the beginning of their series to the end. 

 

 

 

mangakas like Horikoshi, Isayama, Nakaba are great, but their series haven't exactly finished yet. Once they reach their conclusions that's when we'll see if they reach the same league as the ones I mentioned like Jun Mochizuki. 

 

 

 

Closing thoughts... I can't believe I finished the series like it's still unreal to me how beautiful this masterpiece of story was crafted, and I've said it before, but I'm definitely going to picking up The Cast Study of Vantias Volume 1 tomorrow because Jun Mochizuki left a strong impression with what I experienced with Pandora Hearts.  

 

 

To leave a quote,   "This isn't goodbye Pandora Hearts it'll never be goodbye we'll see each other again soon!"

Oh wow, you finished way faster than I anticipated. Glad you enjoyed it though! Welcome to the fan club. Any favorite parts? Characters? Plot twists?

 

And her new manga The Case Study of Vanitas is really good so far too, as predicted. The physical volumes are super nice too; I love the material they used for the covers.

Favorite characters damn that's hard because I think they're all great.. same thing goes with the favorite parts and plot twist, but I am currently rereading the series for a special podcast I've got planned for my youtube channel coming up in the following month so by then I should be able to do something... 

 

Right now on my reread I'm on Chapter 10, and the one twist that really sticks out is the timeskip like that was crazy, and I know there were more twists that happened, and like I said I'll have it posted here. 

 

As for The Case Study of Vantias I've read the first three volumes, and wow it's great I'm not much a vampire guy, but leave it to Mochizuki sensei to leave me interested in what's going on with the series just like with Pandora Hearts.
