Komui Corner Vol 8. 

Since I don’t know where it is online here’s a quick translation of the Corner between Allen and Kanda. Also note it’s translated from the French so there are probably mistranslations that will happen.

Night 68.

Kanda: Tssss..... Allen: So, here we go again with those “Corners” on which Komui definitly decided he had no intention of participating. This time i’m in the compagny of the explosive Yuu Kanda. Kanda: You’re looking for a fight or what?! Allen: Kanda, tell yourself that it’s just work and try to make sure that corner goes fast and well. You can see we’re both on that boat together: my drink is trembling under the anger. (klock klock) Kanda: And there my cup is going to break down. (*angry emoji*) Allen, to himself: Do not react, do not react, just answer to the question like a robot.  Kanda: You really have a gift to piss me off, you. 

Q: Do the names of the characters of the series have an origin? If so, which one? Allen: I don’t think so. They’re determined on the moment. Apparently Hoshino-sensei doesn’t even remember how she found my name. And yours, Kanda? Kanda: Tss.... She borrowed the name of a main character of one of her failed carreer start, a manga she presented to an editor before even being hired.... Allen: So you’re a recycled piece, basically. Kanda: That makes you laugh??? (krik) Allen: Sadly it doesn’t....

Night 69.

Q: What happened of Komuryn 2, after its destruction by Lenalee in the vol3? Kanda: Komuryn? This monster is still alive?! Allen: You knew it, Kanda? But you weren’t there in that volume? Kanda: Huh? Vol3? I’ve sliced this horror far before that. Allen: Perhaps you mean Komuryn 1? In vol2, it was its successor that we had to fight. Wait, if you already had to slice the first one... it’s that it turned crazy too!? Kanda: Right. He ate some of my Soba (grmbl) Allen: You’re spilling your tea, I would let you know.  Whatever, I don’t know what happened to the first one. But I know that Commander Reever and the Scientist guys dismantled and destroyed the remaining of the second robot with a deafening anger, despite the ongoing protestation of Komui. They were visibly happy with themselves, now that we mention it...

Underneath, the last picture of Komuryn, taken by the Chief Komui before the rest of its remains got turned to ashes.

Night 70.

Q: Does any other type of innocence exist aside from the Parasyte and the Equipment type, along the exorcists?  Allen: There are two known categories. Kanda: But the Innocence is a complex phenomena. Nothing says that others categories wouldn’t come to light.

Q: Where does the Order’s budget comes from? Allen: From the Vatican, I believe.

Q: Who are the people lost in the tunels of the Asian Branch that Fou talked about in vol7? Allen: It was probably Bak and Won... They seemed very embarassed. Kanda: That’s pitiful. 

Q: Since when does Hevlaska have this shape? Allen: Since for ever, I believe. She’s  a very specific creature, with feminine features.. but what about that really? Kanda: Who knows....

Q: Is The Millenium Earl a human being? Please especially don’t unveil the mysteries around him! I love this character just as he is! Kanda: Make up your mind! You want to know or not?! Allen: Here we go, Kanda’s getting fired up.

Night 71:

Q: I was very surprised to read that in the Reader mails of volume12 of Gintama, there was a question about D. Gray Man! “In the 58th Night, when Lavi screams “we are at war after all!” I got the feeling there were tears in the corner of his eye. Is that my imagination or...?” Sorachi-sensei, Gintama’s author, answered that he would transfer the question to Hoshino-sensei, before adding “But I think it was a difficult moment for Lavi as well”. What do you think? Allen: The assistants told me about it. I found it quite funny. Kanda: The Fanmails getting to the wrong recipient happens a lot. Especially since Gintama is another title of Jump. Allen: Hoshino told me personally liking Sorachi-sensei a lot, since they share the same burden...

 [note: They..... they didn’t answer the question. orz]

Q: So in the end, is Mahoja a man or a woman? Allen: Come on! She’s a woman! It was the first time a woman carried me on her shoulders, by the by. Kanda: How pathetic. Allen: Grmbl.

Q: Bookman’s makep, it’s to chase away bad spirits? Allen: Huh? I wonder... Kanda: How do you want me to know?! Allen: We.... We will ask Lavi.

Night 72

Q: Since when does Komui has a “Sister Complex”? Allen: Oh, that! (*teardrops*). I think it comes from the time his sister was taken away by force by the Order. It must have been a traumatic experience. We shouldn’t forget that. Kanda: No need to cover it! He’s crazy, that’s all, period!

Q: Who is the guy who has the most success with the girls in the Order? Allen: It’s not Kanda, at least. Kanda: I don’t care about this kind of things. Who gives a damn! (*angry emoji*). We are a fighting order! The flirty kinds can just get lost! Allen: OUTCH! It burns! Don’t throw your tea in my face would you?! Kanda: It’s kuewarm, beansprout!! But... Who dare you cover with that horrible sweat sirup?! I’m going to slice you in two!! Allen: it’s mango’s juice, you moron!

the Corner stops here but it also includes those pictures:

Reever isn’t in his room. He probably still hadn’t finished his work.

Allen’s room. No one’s there.
