I snapped this the other day when I was in a taxi passing by a

greengrocer’s [text on boxes: CROWN MELON] and realized how
much I like Allen. But I like Tim even more! (Dadum! *) We’ve
been apart for a while, so I became all the more aware of his
presence. This is volume 23, during which I discovered how healing
it is for me to draw Tim.

IT ALL BEGAN CENTURIES AGO WITH THE DISCOVERY OF A CUBE

CONTAINING AN APOCALYPTIC PROPHECY FROM AN ANCIENT CIVILIZATION AND
INSTRUCTIONS IN THE USE OF INNOCENCE, A CRYSTALLINE SUBSTANCE OF WON-
DROUS SUPERNATURAL POWER. THE CREATORS OF THE CUBE CLAIMED TO HAVE
DEFEATED AN EVIL KNOWN AS THE MILLENNIUM EARL BY USING THE
INNOCENCE. NEVERTHELESS, THE WORLD WAS DESTROYED BY THE GREAT FLOOD
OF THE OLD TESTAMENT. NOW, TO AVERT A SECOND END OF THE WORLD,
A GROUP OF EXORCISTS WIELDING WEAPONS MADE OF INNOCENCE
MUST BATTLE THE MILLENNIUM EARL AND HIS TERRIBLE MINIONS,
THE APOSTOLIC NOAH AND THE DEMONIC AKUMA.

: i THE MILLENNIUM EARL AND THE NOAH ATTACK THE BLACK ORDER AND WREAK
E: HAVOC WHILE ALMA KARMA, ASLEEP UNDER THE NORTH AMERICA BRANCH,
i CHANGES INTO AN AKUMA AND CLASHES WITH HIS FORMER FRIEND KANDA.
| ALLEN RECONCILES THEM AND SENDS THEM TO A PLACE FAR AWAY FROM IT ALL.
| LATER, THE INDEPENDENT-TYPE INNOCENCE KNOWN AS APOCRYPHOS TRIES TO
i FUSE WITH ALLEN AND AN ALL-OUT BATTLE ENSUES. AS A RESULT, THE ORDER
|DEEMS ALLEN TO BE ONE OF THE NOAH. FOR THIS AND OTHER REASONS, ALLEN
| LEAVES HIS FRIENDS BEHIND AND SETS OUT ALONE ON A NEW JOURNEY!
