edit: Yes, I realize that Lord Arm said he'd got a hold of 287 above, but don't they usually like to space the chapter releases a bit? I suppose it depends on the translator group I guess.

287 exist. But it's probably not on any scanlation website so far.
<a href='http://www.mediafire.com/?j57v8y58uj38731' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>http://www.mediafire.com/?j57v8y58uj38731</a> Though if I'm not supposed to put it up yet, anyone can PM me and say to take it down.
Haven't read it yet to be honest. Still have to marathon the other chapters which I want to do in one go. :lol: But eh. I know what happens so it isn't a loss, one way or the other.

I read the new ch.287 and any left over respect I had for Fujishima gone now. At first it fleet like Fujishima had some real plot going on and some good character drama happening. Belldandy show some real flaws in her and her relationship with Keiichi has some major cracks in it. It open up the manga to so many new different ways it could go, but in instead he is actually using the plot device from the AMG movie. A movie that is 12 years ago. 12 YEARS OLD! :no:

HOW ABOUT THAT NEW CHAPTER
The thing is, Keichi saying that is was a misunderstanding basically does nothing in my mind but make it more of the status quo prevalent in the whole manga. The recipe goes like this: He gets shafted, they go on an adventure, he forgives whoever did it, and the manga goes on as if nothing has/will ever change in the relationship with Balldandy.
Bah. I'd be pissed if I had actually bought the series and this was all I'd got. It's like a soap opera, except without any relationship development or sex. Basically, 20 years of pointless. *sighs*

HOW ABOUT THAT NEW CHAPTER
Not arguing that it seems to be going with the status quo. Especially since I'm not a huge fan of this development. Him passing it off as nothing (so it seems) isn't sitting well with me.
I'll only say this about the development. If anything, what has been released was his sexual desire towards Belldandy. That alone is development. What IS being suppressed (Pddddt. :lol: ) is any negative fallout hiding this fact from K1 is doing. That part negates a potentially large part of development. And that's the part I don't like.

I agree on this completely.
The fact that he passes this off as nothing is what he does to everybody that wrongs him, no matter how severe the transgression. Does he hate Mara? No, he's cautious of her, but doesn't hate her. Nor Hild, nor Urd, who both have played games with him multiple times.
You're right that this does unlock his carnal desires for her. Will he have the balls (pun intended) to actually act on them? I guess that remains to be seen...
At this rate I fear the mangaka is going to drop dead before any resolution or serious development happens.

HOW ABOUT THAT NEW CHAPTER
She's not a whore. She never was. In fact as far as anyone knows, she's still 'pure'.
No, but she is an attention whore. There's a big difference. Attention whores don't necessarily use sex as a tool. Sometimes sexuality, but not sex. What they do like is attention, whether it be from one person, or everybody. It doesn't have to be sexual attention, but still attention. My best friend's beagle is an attention whore, but she doesn't go around humping legs.
Belldandy loves to be the center of attention of Keiichi. If you've seen the second season of the anime, it seems like she blows shit up in jealousy seemingly every time a girl is around him. Yet, he couldn't express any 'needs' to Belldandy due to a restriction put upon him without his knowledge, and her jealousy kept him from being able to do it with anybody else.
I'll fully admit he seems to truly love Bell, and it's not like he was characterized like he was suffering from a case of blue balls or anything. However, if that restriction was made apparent to me, revealed that it was concealed from me for that long, and then removed so I could feel what I was missing out on, I'd be thinking long and hard about who to trust.
However, the storyline requires that he trusts her implicitly now or else they wouldn't be able to pass through the judgement gate and there would be no happily ever after. So, "it's all a misunderstanding". :sick3:
Yes, they can move on to more adult things now, if they pass. Yes, it opens up new possibilities for the future. Yes, Keiichi is lining up to be a better god than some of the ones already up there. I'm sure the arc will end as the rest do, but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

HOW ABOUT THAT NEW CHAPTER
Just wondering what is your definition on "pure" and how is Belldandy 'pure'?
What do you mean " Keiichi is lining up to be a better god...". I not saying that all the gods are 'pure and prefect godly beings' in fact I don't think that the Gods has ever been shown to be that "Godly" in the first place in the manga. With Urd facing racism for being half demon or that one time that Urd ex-boyfriend tried to kill Keiichi because he was jealous. So, what has Keiichi ever done to make him a "better god".

HOW ABOUT THAT NEW CHAPTER
Exactly. Pure as in virgin. One of my coworkers made a crude observation during a conversation I was dragged into about a female that was considered loose in the company. "Hard to be da ho when you still got da hy." Oi. Crude but true. Don't know how he knew that fact either; not sure I want to. Colorful guy, he was.
You kind of answered your own question here. By Keiichi being a better person than many of the gods in the series, he's lining up to be a better god than them (or at least what westerners expect from a god) should he get... promoted... to godhood due to his relationship with Belldandy. Do you often see him as spiteful, hateful or racist in the series, which some of the gods/demons seem to be? I don't recall any of that from him, but I could be forgetting.

HOW ABOUT THAT NEW CHAPTER
I find it funny that people tag her as "Whore" when the correct word to be used is "Bitch".
The former would imply her sleeping around with others (as in all those NTR hentai doujins some fans have grown to enjoy, or just plain be promiscuous/sexually active as most divine lores depict Gods/Goddesses (You know, just like Urd and Peorth in the A!MS canon are implied to), while the K-man has been patiently waiting to get SUMMADAT!); while the later would imply the attitudes, platitudes and actions (or lack there of) taken in reference/deference to their longstanding relationship (and yes, that includes her way too placid/numb/weaksauce responses to all the shit he's weathered and outlasted for them).
Which is still all BS, since we all been privy of her THE PERFECT WAIFU act/quasi-Yandere Jealosy Storms of zeal toward him; thanks the latest chapters developments, all of these acts show us in hindsight that she harbors a component of guilt, which show us just how imperfect she really is (and much more like other "Divine" beings).
Not playing Goddess' Advocate, but I do hope K1 gets a good end; whether he being ascended (he's pretty much Bell's avatar/chosen), Bell getting depowered/exiled from Heaven (to live with her Keiichi) or whatever plot tweeest Fujishima has in store for our favorite gear head and his divine squeeze (and/or quasi-harem :snigger: Yes, I'm looking at you: Adult Skuld, Peorth and Lind...)
This would only be relevant if he's expected to be ascended to a divine being (or take over some Over the Hill/Retiring/Dead God's place). More than a Better God, he's a Better Being... heck he's up there with the Buddhas with how he's dealt with everything Asgard and Niflheim have tossed at him, and he's mostly come up on top.
The very least he should be awarded with is an unobstructed time/place to properly TAP THAT like a Beer Keg at a University Frat Party, and if Bell isn't blessing her chosen one, we all know that Peorth is more than willing to give the grease monkey the ride of his life.
