Welcome to the start of Chapter 10, the last chapter in Volume 2! Here is the title page, and next Friday's update will be the first page of the chapter!
Anyone else getting the feeling that Jyaku (the guy) is taking his mask off? The girls are getting better at this motion thing!! And congats for getting the 10th chapter, girls!!
I feel that Jyaku is some magic witch Doctor that finds Meela when she goes to run away and teaches her to control whatever she is having to run from. But of course, Meela may be bull headed and charge right through his “Helpful” attempts. Don’t forget that he is Holland’s secretive buddy.. I don’t really trust Jyaku for more than one reason, more than I could even begin to explain.
I don’t comment as often as I should but I’m hooked on this series and I can’t wait till friday to read the next page. “Borrowed Time” this should be an intense and epic chapter……oh wait they all are. Hmmm.
I love this comic, but I can’t help but feel that when she turns 13 that she’s going to get killed or something. And I also can’t help but feel that the person in the mask is someone she knows!!
I’m down with a bloody cold, but despite the muzzy-headedness, I am buzzing with anticipation!!! This made my day! LOL now I’m going to lie awake wondering just what Jyaku really looks like!
Is it possible Meela is from some species/clan who’re demons or have special powers? 13th year: probably special transformation into something else.
I mean: she’s got this strange ability to mind-read or rather, live out people’s memories like they’re her own. She’s her strange magic “outbursts”. And she seems to have been marking down the moon cycles.
I’ve said this before, but I really like the theory: I personally think Meela’s a demon lupian. She specifically says she doesn’t have a clan, though, so I think it’s related to her (remember when she was asked why bounty hunters were hunting her, she said–as though she was guilty–“I didn’t do anything wrong.”) I think that’s why she was reading Feral’s memories, because he has some sort of demonic entanglement in his past.
went back and re-read from the beginning. Small subtle things here and there that I didn’t catch as I read the series. So awesome. I can’t wait for this series to be 100% finished. I’d buy the books.
Don’t worry XD If this chapter would have 25 pages and there will be one page per week, it would take 6 month to complete whole chapter.
And if the volume 3 will have 5 chapters, and all of the chapters will have 25 pages, we will continue our strays adventures for 2,5 year XD
Hey, guys. Been a while. Lol. Looking forward to being able to buy Book 2. I’ve read book 1 to death. It’s now sitting pretty at the absolute top of my bookshelf. :P
hmmm iwas just thinking that what if Jyaku happens to be of relation to Mella (or even her brother) im also guessing that’d be way out of line or something like that to even be possible hmmmm…….
Oh gods I know by now Yuen is most likely Feral but whatever happened to Mal? Did Mal get “absorbed” by Yuen or something?
Also, there’s something interesting about the jewellery in this comic: the pendants or bracelets all seem to have some special powers or maybe symbolism. Come to think of it, is Meela’s bracelet really a lucky charm? What if it attracts danger instead?
I’m thinking the bracelet really is just a lucky charm. What I wonder is if hunters are really after Meela’s family, or if she just slips into some terrible, curse-induced rage and has killed them all one by one. *eyeshift*
Sure, from her opening dream sequence it looks like someone else is doing the murdering, but how did she escape as a (n adorable but arguably clueless) twelve year old? I’m suspicious. You don’t fool me, Meela! The blood of innocents stains red your hair and coat! Heh heh heh.

Dee
Yep I mean all that’s possible. Well whatever it is, I can’t wait!
Also, I suspect Holland or Jyaku already know something’s up with her.
DreamBoyMal
Most likely Holland AND Jyaku.
SotiCoto
Probably something along the lines of the first Negima anime.
She has a demon contract to die on her 13th or something.
Laine
This is very exciting! Can’t wait to see what happens! Gah, can’t believe I have to wait a whole week!
shadedglory
SOOOO AWESOMEE!!!!!

Curious, how long / how many books it will be?
Celesse
That’s great to hear :) We’ve planted small hints and a few red herrings through the story, though it’s always easier to spot them when rereading.
As for the length, Strays is going to be 3 volumes. So after this chapter is done we’ll have one more volume to go before the end.
thelightedDarkness
Awwww.
But then, once it ends, what will happen???
ClimbingEast
Pear sales will plummet.
DreamBoyMal
Pears?! I LOVE PEARS!
*gets weird looks*
Oh, come on…like I was going to let THAT opportunity slide! A perfectly good chance to quote Mal? Really?
Pearl sales ain’t plummeting post-Strays if I’ve got anything to say about it. XD
DreamBoyMal
Wow. I wrote “pearl” instead of pear. When will I ever learn?
*facepalms*
Jae
Whaa? Only one more? D:
Mirza

KaelinaLuvsLomaris
No! That will make me so sad! I hope you tie everything up in the end! I hate it when series leave a ton of loose ends!
Heyoceama
Well guess I better start readying the noose. :(
Terri
