- Sanzo & Co part ways with Hazel, but not until after Sanzo intervenes in a life-and-death issue for a youkai child!
- Sanzo & gang are now in a contest with Hazel & Co. It's "Stopping the minus wave vs. genocide of all youkai"
- Hakkai is aware that the only thing that probably keeps them from going insane like the other youkais is the fact that they are only halflings
- Gato was tempted to follow Sanzo & gang rather than Hazel, which makes Hazel a tiny little bit upset
- Hazel recognizes Nii and addresses him as Ukoku Sanzo!
- Sakuro is still lost somewhere... (Really. How many weeks has it been now? ;D)

Whaaa!!! The possibilities! The hunt is on now, and with Hazel in Ukoku's hands... the power of the amulett that could mean that Gyuumao might awake just a bit earlier than expected. Or will Ukoku Sanzo help Hazel win his bet?

Reload Manga this time, and Major Spoilers for the new Reload chapter.

You need to scroll down a bit... but WOW.

Some great artwork, and The Plot thickens. Ukoku is manipulative as always, Hakkai asks a question, Sanzo reveals the secret of the scrolls, Gojyo and Goku have their own thoughts, and I WANT MORE!!!

*grumbles*

Don't we always want more? Now I can't wait to read the scantilations and see the pages. See? Never happy. ;D
Actually, I was just glad to see the password protection lifted from JttR.

Hehe... Yes, it's like a drug.

BTW, Minekura-sama has made her very own AU of Saiyuki - a spoof in Zero-Sum's self-parodying Comekit extra-edition.

well i really couldn't wait and got reload 5(Jap version) just to drool over have read what i could off spymac's scanlation site. but the artwork is just amazing and is it just me or is hakkai looking meaner than ever before? he just does not trust very many people right now...that's the sort of vibe i'm getting off him anyways.

gonou looks like he may break to the surface at some point.
