Hi

I just received (late) my issue of Afternoon and here is a (really)
quick synopsis of what has happened so far.

Chihiro, Belldandy, and Keichii continue on their "epic" journey to
the Hot Spring Resort in Chihiro's Honda Mini.  As a side note this
episode is a real yawner, even Chihiro gets sleepy while driving and
looks behind to see Keichii and Belldandy in the back seat doing 
some Zs looking real cute with Bell snuggled up to Keichii.  Keichii
wakes up and tries to sneak a kiss, whereupon Bell wakes up startling
Keichii (busted....).  Keichii attempts to distract Bell with
conversation with Chihiro, where he suddenly discovers she's asleep
on the steering wheel.  From this point Keichii's driving and it
rains and pours and it looks like Chihiro only has a an AM radio which
isn't picking up anything.  Bell starts singing instead with the other
two joining in and having a good old time...
After flat tires, overheated engines, and other problems they get 
caught in a traffic jam.  Chihiro decides to take a "bypass" off on
side roads (yeah she's driving again...bad move).  They get kinda
lost and decide to pull over for the night.  Bell kinda wanders off
to the side and performs some Geomancy and creates a hot spring.
Well this is too good an opportunity for any self respecting Manga
artist to ignore and the party decide to get a good hot soak in with
a sheet separating the genders.  Rule number (I guess 129) of Anime and
Manga never let a good peeping opportunity go by, especially with
two naked babes right next door, and of course the wind provides
Keichii with a real good view momentarily, just prior to being
subject of an artillery attack of river rocks (not unhappily).
To bad Chihiro was there, Bell might have offered him more room to 
stretch out.


Comment...this was kinda of too predictable and slow.  There must be
something big building up.  No scans this week because I didn't see
anything to remarkable to scan, in fact some the art was a little
weak compared to what we have gotten used to.
