Hi

Just received from fujisan latest issue of Afternoon saturday.  It's so thick 
this time it came in a box (no present this time), it's the old phone book 
style 
 
again.

Hild (semi-lite) makes a return appearance.  She looks slightly older now, 
about 
 
2 or 3 years older than Skuld dressed in black leather (later on continuity 
question).  She challenges Belldandy to a flying broom race and Belldandy 
accepts.  Belldandy has a new battle/flight suit and I will have to do some 
scans later.  The continuity question is Hild starts out with a black leather 
mini dress/ with boots and then for the race she is wearing tight leather 
pants, 
 
zippered top/ with boots.  They went through the trouble of doing a magic girl 
transform (with Skuld unsuccessfully blocking Keichii's eyes) for Belldandy, 
but 
 
did nothing for Hild.  Possibly lost on the editing room floor, or two groups 
of 
 
drawers not comparing notes.  Also, when Keichii flips a coin to start the 
race, 
 
Hild gives him a quick peck on the cheek which seems to freak out everyone 
except Belldandy (did she not see, realize it was just to provoke and shrugged 
it off, or just accepted it as a "slight" token of affection).  Of course, 
Keichii freaks starting the race by dropping the coin after being startled.

Big question.  I must of missed it in the previous issue, but why is Velsper 
having such a bad hair day?  Are they the equivalent of wings?
