Going to start my Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens reread now.

Who needs buddy cops, when you can have buddy hitmen who play baseball? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="â˜ș" title="LĂ€chelndes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: LĂ€chelndes Gesicht">

#RaeReadsHTR
A nice question to start the story with #RaeReadsHTR
I forgot that it started with Saitou, rather than Lin. Though I remember being confused about who the the main character was supposed to be, when watching the anime, because Saitou looks more like a typical MC #RaeReadsHTR
This is still so funny to me. Saitou had no idea what he was getting into. Poor kid. #RaeReadsHTR
I love that the company is called Murder Inc. Nothing suspicious about that at all #RaeReadHTR
In the anime, Banba bought the balloon himself instead of stealing one from a little kid. This is much funnier #RaeReadsHTR
Saitou buys the most suspicious combination of things ever in the anime version. He isn& #39;t quite that dumb in the novel, I don& #39;t why they changed this #RaeReadsHTR
I like how the first thing Lin does when he meets Banba is tell him he looks like a horse https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit FreudentrĂ€nen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit FreudentrĂ€nen"> #RaeReadsHTR
Martinez and Lin& #39;s first meeting is also very funny. Maybe funnier in the anime, actually, because of how quick it is #RaeReadsHTR
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ„ș" title="Pleading face" aria-label="Emoji: Pleading face">
Banba and Lin& #39;s first few scenes together are so good. I had forgotten a lot of the details #RaeReadsHTR
I don& #39;t want to read about what happened to Qiaomei. Kind of skipping over that part #RaeReadsHTR
The anime did a pretty decent job of covering most of the part I& #39;m currently reading so all I have to say right now is that I love Enokida #RaeReadsHTR
The anime added Banba patting Lin on the head. I am okay with this #RaeReadsHTR
Lin punching Yusuke is very satisfying. Some parts of this scene are kind of yikes though #RaeReadsHTR
One good thing about the anime is actually getting to see the piggyback ride
Love how they all just go play baseball like nothing happened.

Also, I am very emotional over Saitou getting to enjoy baseball againhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht"> #RaeReadsHTR
I totally forgot about how this volume ended.

Going to take a break before going onto Volume 2. #RaeReadsHTR
Volume 2 time. I don& #39;t remember much about this volume and the anime skipped half of it so time to find out what it& #39;s about #RaeReadsHTR
So much baseball #RaeReadsHTR
This part hits differently after you find out Banba’s backstory https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😔" title="Nachdenkliches Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Nachdenkliches Gesicht">

#RaeReadsHTR
BanLin’s bickering is cute though #RaeReadsHTR
I am curious about this book. I wonder if it’s any good https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ€”" title="Denkendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Denkendes Gesicht">

And of course, they play the same positions as Banba and Lin. Such a coincidence https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😉" title="Zwinkerndes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Zwinkerndes Gesicht"> #RaeReadsHTR
This part in the club is making me so uncomfortable. Stay away from Lin https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😠" title="WĂŒtendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: WĂŒtendes Gesicht"> #RaeReadsHTR
I was so excited when I saw a Ginza mention https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit FreudentrĂ€nen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit FreudentrĂ€nen">

a JR and HTR crossover would be interesting
I liked most of the BanLin moments the anime added but I had to roll my eyes at this one #RaeReadsHTR
This, however, was A++

He said the same lines in the original but the way he said it in the anime was great.
I love when Banba calls Lin "Lin-Lin" #RaeReadsHTR
Poor Saitou. He has the worst luck #RaeReadsHTR
Enokida is so mean https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😆" title="LĂ€chelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund und fest verschlossenen Augen" aria-label="Emoji: LĂ€chelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund und fest verschlossenen Augen"> #RaeReadsHTR

I don’t know if he’d like your way of making it up to him.

#RaeReadsHTR
Doing Volume 3 now. Time for Lin& #39;s Tragic Backstoryℱ

#RaeReadsHTR
#RaeReadsHTR Come on, Lin. You’ve got to greet your husband properly
Now I am thinking of AUs for all the baseball series I’ve seen
I feel so bad for both Lin and Feilang :( #RaeReadsHTR
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😏" title="Grinsendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Grinsendes Gesicht">
#RaeReadsHTR Enokida being best/worst boy, as always
#RaeReadsHTR You really should listen to him, Lin
#RaeReadsHTR That’s how it should be
I know Feilang was super screwed up but I still think it’s sad it had to end that way for him https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😱" title="Weinendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Weinendes Gesicht"> #RaeReadsHTR

#RaeReadsHTR I wish the anime had kept this
Going to try to squeeze in Volume 4 tonight since it& #39;s a shorter one. iirc, the anime covered this one pretty well #RaeReadsHTR
I love Jiro and Misaki& #39;s cute father/daughter moments #RaeReadsHTR
#RaeReadsHTR these boys are so silly
Poor Saitou can never catch a break #RaeReadsHTR
It is impossible to see the phrase “A lot happened” without thinking of JR #RaeReadsHTR
Everybody teasing Enokida at the end of the volume is so fun since he’s usually the one doing the teasing #RaeReadsHTR
Starting the most depressing volume of HTR, while I wait for Great Pretender #RaeReadsHTR
#RaeReadsHTR Yes, you are
Reading about what happened to Misaki is too awful https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😱" title="Weinendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Weinendes Gesicht">

I’m so glad Jiro found her #RaeReadsHTR
There are very few characters in this volume that I don’t want to slap.

Actually, most of them, I want to do much more than just slap but they’ll get what they deserve #RaeReadsHTR
This volume is so intense. There’s no good stopping points #RaeReadsHTR
#RaeReadsHTR this is so infuriating
Lin isn’t really focused on in this volume but those little bits of character development are great #RaeReadsHTR
Misaki being awesome at the end

Bye bye to all the bad guys https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👋" title="Winkende Hand" aria-label="Emoji: Winkende Hand"> #RaeReadsHTr
Misaki joining the team makes me so happy. Such a cute family of killers https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😊" title="LĂ€chelndes Gesicht mit lĂ€chelnden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: LĂ€chelndes Gesicht mit lĂ€chelnden Augen"> #RaeReadsHTR
Volume 6 time. Martinez finally gets some focus in this one. I don& #39;t remember a whole lot more than that so let& #39;s see what happens #RaeReadsHTR
Lin is being such a child right now. He should have known better than to throw away other people’s stuff without permission #RaeReadsHTR
Both Banba and Lin are being big babies right now. I don’t remember if they actually apologize to each other or not #RaeReadsHTR
Aw, Lin :(

You will find out soon enough #RaeReadsHTR
I wanna see this arc animated https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ˜©" title="Mattes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Mattes Gesicht"> #RaeReadsHTR
I totally forgot about Banba sacrificing the ball to save Lin. Poor Lin is going to feel so bad about this #RaeReadsHTR
Aww :’)

#RaeReadsHTR
Volume 7 now. I really like this cover.

#RaeReadsHTR
Time for lots of angst. Banba shutting out Lin like that makes me sad :( #RaeReadsHTR
Lin sharing his hairclip with Misaki is really nice to see. He is growing up #RaeReadsHTR
I& #39;m so glad Lin finally has a friend like this

#RaeReadsHTR
Banba needs many hugs #RaeReadsHTR
Back in the early volumes, he never greeted Banba and now he thinks of it as his job. That& #39;s so cute.

#RaeReadsHTR
Whoa, the volume is over already. That was quick. So much drama and even more will be coming next volume #RaeReadsHTR
I don& #39;t know if I& #39;ll have time to finish Volume 8 tonight but I& #39;ll try. And then tomorrow, I will finally read what is translated of volume 9 so far #RaeReadsHTR
Ooh, this picture is cool #RaeReadsHTR
I want to see these scenes animated and with voice acting but it will never happen :( #RaeReadsHTR
Aww. So many good friendships in this series #RaeReadsHTR
The hospital scene is very good #RaeReadsHTR
Lin standing outside the door, listening to Banba cry and feeling helpless, now I& #39;m going to cry too https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😱" title="Weinendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Weinendes Gesicht"> #RaeReadsHTR
Finally, it is Lin& #39;s turn to save Banba :) #RaeReadsHTR
That plot twist...

I know volume 9 is a more laidback volume after the drama of 7&8 but I really want to get back to this plot. But that will probably be saved for the final volumes #RaeReadsHTR

Vol 9 time. I& #39;ve heard this one focuses on Yamato, a character I almost forgot about because he doesn& #39;t show up much. And I know this is a more chill volume compared to the drama of 7&8. Everything else is a mystery to me so I& #39;m excited to find out what happens #RaeReadsHTR
Starting with Saitou accidentally getting a shady job again? #RaeReadsHTR
It was a pretty good plan to give Enokida half-truths but knowing him, he& #39;s still going to look into it and find out all Yamato& #39;s secrets anyway.

#RaeReadsHTR
Saitou, you should know by now that you are this story& #39;s punching bag and good things will never happen to you https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😞" title="EnttĂ€uschtes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: EnttĂ€uschtes Gesicht">

#RaeReadsHTR
Obviously, part of this is just Enokida being Enokida and reveling in Saitou& #39;s continuing misfortune. But I think part is also him being happy that Saitou can come back to the team once he gets out of this mess

#RaeReadsHTR
I caught up too quickly. Now I have to wait for the next update. Maybe I should have waited until the volume is fully translated.

I hope we get to see Enokida save Saitou #RaeReadsHTR
I just remembered that I& #39;ve never read the Durarara x HTR crossover novel. I& #39;m going to do that now.

#RaeReadsHTR
He& #39;s your life partner, Lin

#RaeReadsHTR
This story is basically just Banba and Lin running into Durarara characters while they& #39;re on a date. And it& #39;s great #RaeReadsHTR
I knew this was going to be Banba& #39;s reaction to Shizuo

#RaeReadsHTR
They got Shizuo to play baseball with them https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😄" title="LĂ€chelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund und lĂ€chelnden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: LĂ€chelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund und lĂ€chelnden Augen">

#RaeReadsHTR
That was fun. I wish it had been made into an OVA #RaeReadsHTR
That would have been such a great name! The editor was wrong.

#RaeReadsHTR
reviving this thread because there& #39;s some new translated parts of volume 9 I haven& #39;t read yet
I really wonder about this too. I have no idea how this series is going to end but it& #39;s really hard to imagine them all just leaving the world of crime and becoming normal citizens #RaeReadsHTR
