Lightning-round SE 90/Not! 9 spoilers
The most important spoiler, obviously, is that this month's GanGan included the results of the earth-shatteringly important reader poll titled "Which Soul Eater character would you wish to be a part of your family?"
And somehow or other, Kid won.
Really, fandom? Really? You want to be related to that?!
And now for some less interesting spoilers.
Everybody going on the moon mission is saying their last farewells and writing final letters to their loved ones. THIS IS INSPIRING A LOT OF CONFIDENCE IN THE LIKELIHOOD OF ANYBODY SURVIVING THE MISSION. Um.
Liz says that other than Kid or Patty there's nobody that she would want to give her final letter to, and they're both going on the mission. So there's no point in writing a letter.
Black Star says that although he wants to go on the kishin mission for the glory + reputation points, he's going to do the adult thing and go on the Spartoi mission that he was requested to go on instead. Aw Black Star, you've grown up so much.
Spirit is a huge dork and has a big huge dorky dork-dad moment with Maka.
Spirit is going on the mission too. Before he leaves, Big Daddy tells him that Kid's "awakening" is essential if they have any hope of victory over Asura.
Maka realizes that Crona is hiding out in the church where they first met. Proving once again that Maka is the most intelligent character in this manga. (Which I realize is damning with faint praise, but still.)
Medusa is with Crona. Kind of. I don't know. It might very well be Crona hallucinating, à la Stein. Anyway, the point is that I think Ohkubo is supposed to be drawing both parallels and contrasts wrt: the Spirit/Maka relationship and the Medusa/Crona relationship. But maybe I'm giving Ohkubo too much credit.
NOT! SPOILERS:It's mostly about Akane this month. The end. LOL this is the risk of repeating spoilers gleaned from 2ch. Akane isn't even *IN* Not! this month, and the only thing that happens is that Kana does a card reading for Jackie. A+ 2ch troll, would LOL again. SON OF ETA: Or I guess there was a nugget of truth to that after all, since Akane and Clay appear in chapter 90 this month!
PS - As usual, this month's new color illustrations (all six of them!) are all over the GanGan website and at shibusen.
And somehow or other, Kid won.
