She's very playful ;x

[Poosy Boot]

1st page
Edit: My favorite has to be Overseer. I just love the overseer. I guess cause how no one else really likes him and mocks him like Sin/Sen.

[Seasons Dream]

Gino is my favorite :O gone from boy to man, though under terrible circumstances he's having help from Edmund and others smile

Gino is my favorite :O gone from boy to man, though under terrible circumstances he's having help from Edmund and others smile

[White Island]

You have such a nice a** DJ Helsing

[Tsubami]

Edit.
I love Liam, he's hot <3

[lnvidia]

One page a day, five days a week!!

[Kyo The Fallen One]

Gino because he is! emotion_donotwant

[EmeraldButtons]

I personally like Don Kuro. Why? Because he looks so sweet and innocent on the cover of the manga, then he's all "rawr I'm leader all up in here" in the manga ;P

[kitty face 555 chon]

Everyone says Gino, But I personally like Don Kuro he's very inspiring and funny and pretty!! I think his character/personality is fit for him and the way he acts.. Like He looks like an angel on the front page, but in the manga he's like a bad guy! I LOVE how he thinks he's like the "manager".
<3 ^_^ <3
