#vnc volume 11 spoilers

[lepetitloir]

Today I got volume 11 of Vanitas no Carte in French! I bought it specifically for chapters 58 and 59, so here are some thoughts and things I noticed!

I also bought a bag of roshen candy, it's bigger than the volume 😅 yum yum

First off: even if the special edition was also available, I wanted this one specifically because I liked the cover more :3 But the special edition has the sister Astolfo extra, so I do regret not buying that one a little bit 😔

A pattern in all the ki-oon manga I've bought is that under the jacket, the bonus is printed on the cover itself. Here we have sister Olivier!

I looooove that Olivier chibi head, he's so silly <3

The message from Jun Mochizuki reads: "Here is the first printed volume after a pause of almost 2 years. Thank you to all the readers who waited patiently! My new whim of the moment: I have an irrepressible desire to adopt a cat..."

The yellow text reads: "I want to live with a cat!"

And we get Charles! I am so grateful we have his official colours, I want to make so much fanart of him!

But onto what was most important to me: what's different in chapters 58 - 59 in the volume compared to the individual chapters?

Well, in this panel, Astolfo is added! (yay!)

And he gets a little exclamation mark in this one!

Also! Charles is added to this panel!!!

I think it's pretty cool!

I was hoping that some problems with the hands would be fixed in certain panels, but they didn't. Unfortunate, but I understand 🤷

I'm so used to the English translations that the French surprised me in some places! Unnamed vampire boy sounds more brutal for example: "You are the stupidest human that I've ever seen, it's to die of laughter from!!!" is so WILD WTH 😭 Astolfo is called "Astolphe" in the French edition. I already knew, but I had forgotten and it took me off guard when I read it.

A translation I like better in French compared to English: "Now then, what effect does this have?" (French) vs. "How do you feel now?" (English). I'm referring to the moment vampire boy is crouching next to Astolfo in the flashback after a child throws a stone at Astolfo. The French ("alors, quel effect ça fait?") *could* very well be translated to "what does it feel like?", and in fact that's what google translate gives me, but in a literal sense, he asks specifically for the effect the knowledge that his parents were killed by paladins has on Astolfo. It's... incredibly fitting...

A translation I like better in English compared to French: "They took from us, so we should take everything from them!" (English) vs. "The vampires didn't hesitate to steal everything I had!" (French). I think Astolfo tends to generelize his hatred and distance himself from it under the guise of "justice". In the Gévaudan arc, he corrected himself when saying "that's why I- we have to kill the vampires". I think the French is too direct here. Though, it does make it more obvious that it would be a fair deal to Astolfo. "They took everything from me, so I should take everything from them" once again shows how much he puts himself at the front of this, similarly to his "I have to kill all vampires, I have to be the one to do it" during Gévaudan.

And something I found funny was Marco calling himself "your good old Marco" XD

And finally, I was really looking forward to seeing this:

I really really love them.

oh! oh! can you please answer 21, 32, 45, 79, and 99?

Of course! <3

21. What is/was your favourite subject in school?

Language Arts/English! This should be a surprise to nobody lol, especially now that I teach it. But I always had really great teachers in these classes and always really enjoyed having discussions about the books/novels we read. I loved getting to be creative with projects too.

32. What's your favorite time of day?

Hm. This one's hard. I really like the early morning and very late evening. There's such a stillness and peace to these times, when most people are asleep, the world is quiet and you have some free time to think deeply about things. It almost seems otherworldly and special.

45. Do you believe in the death penalty?

Oof. This is a hard one. I would say yes and no. I think it depends on the crime. There are so many nuanced ideas in regards to this and all I can really say is it's different for each person.

79. What's your favorite Disney movie?

The Lion King!

99. Do you curse/swear often?

Sort of. It depends on where I am. Around my friends, I do. Anywhere else, not so much! I cursed for the first time in front of one of my teacher friends and she looked so taken aback lol.

Anyone selling physical Pandora Hearts Volumes?

I know this is a stretch considering how astronomical the prices are for the physical volumes of Pandora Hearts right now, but is anyone selling or willing to part with any they no longer need? I’m trying to complete my collection and the volumes I’m missing: 8, 9, 12, 15 and 16 are impossible to get, or extremely expensive. I have all the others, I’m just missing a few in the middle and have a hard time reading things digitally. Please reach out if you or anyone you know is willing to sell them <3

Theory: Noé's Teacher is involved with/is Charlatan (Spoiler Alert)

So I just watched the newest episode with @from-a-distant-end and we came up with some things/connected some dots. Here’s what we got: 

Louis and Dominique's Grandfather saved Noé (leverage for him to be trusted because if he saved Noé, he must be good, right?)

Noé is not afraid of the blue moon (so he can get close/see what the book is about without being afraid or biased)

Noé is very naive and obviously trusts his teacher/can be easily manipulated with his lack of knowledge

Grandpappy De Sade wants to know the true nature of the book (perhaps so he knows what he's up against/what it can do in terms of curse bearers)

Louis supposedly had this sickness since he was born (tiny piece of info that was spoiled for me: vampire twins are taboo in the vampire world and therefore, as Louis said, he was pretty much dead to the De Sade family so he could be experimented on)

Louis asks his grandfather why he left out the papers about cursebearers and then is told that his grandfather wanted to see what he would do with free will (Experimenting on him to see how he would do while cursed/if it would take hold) 

He didn't kill Louis until Noé managed to stop him/get to him (goes back to free will/maybe not wanting other people to know that curse bearers can be stopped/interrupted when they lose it)

The grandfather's creepy smile is way too similar to Charlatan (0/10 do not recommend)
