What Google Translate is calling "censored" actually just means "canceled" in this context. There isn't a reason why given in those comments, and in fact all of them are complaining that it was cut off while clearly being unfinished. The last commenter is mad that it took a porny turn toward the end.

I just won the commemoration book on Yahoo Auctions Japan. So now all I have to do is figure out how to pay for it, since Yahoo Japan does not seem to like my dirty gaijin credit card.  :lordilvryannoyed:

Actually, I take that back about nothing explicit.  I hadn't read closely enough.

There is a two-page scene where, um, Il Palazzo is anally screwed by Excel (who is loving it.  Il Palazzo is stoic).  It's in a different art style than the hot springs stuff and may be another artist (actually, given Il Palazzo looks almost exactly like Integra Hellsing in it, I'm morbidly thinking it might be Hirano's work).  It is part of a fantasy Elgala is having in the springs, as far as I can make out, and leads to beatings.

Now I wonder if someone in Japan was reading Uncreativity's old fanfics... >_>

Sorry for all the teasing.  ^^;;  Just trying to keep you informed.

Now I'm REALLY jealous...

I'm so jealous...

And that's the happy manga ending, not the one in the magazine right?

Correct. The one in the magazine was less sappy and more silly.

That was funny. :il_hahaha:

I only gotta know one thing: [spoiler=For question..]What was the last thing Lord Il said? Never imagined he'd get the last word in all this![/spoiler]

To answer your question:

[spoiler]

QuoteExcel: Heil Il Palazzo!

Il Palazzo: Shall we go, Excel-kun?

Excel: Yes! Wherever you wish!

Il Palazzo: Together...

No, seriously. That's actually what he's saying.

Like I said, I haven't been able to figure out the password. The reason why I know what happens in volume 27 is because I actually purchased a physical copy.

The more I compare the volume 27 tankobon to the original YKO scans, the more dialogue discrepancies I find, not just in the final chapter, but in the entire volume. Some of them are pretty significant, too, like:

[spoiler="THIS IS A GIANT SPOILER I AM NOT EVEN KIDDING. CLICK AT YOUR OWN RISK."]In the original version, the proto-Il Palazzo and Excel cores are referred to as Arc and Accord, respectively.

The original line is, "Arc... it's me, Accord."
The new one is, "Pio... it's me."

Do you see where it's going here? The original Excel and Il Palazzo... were actually Fio and Piora. From Holy Brownie. Some of the extra pages visually confirm it as well.

At the moment I read that, I think I must have looked like this:

I'm stumped myself. It doesn't seem to be the blog url (with or without http://).  ???

That page that was drawn just for me?

[spoiler=HERE IT IS]

Sorry about the bad scans. I didn't want to ruin my book![/spoiler]

EXCITING :ehail:

ETA: IN FACT! I am going out to buy it right now.

I wish I had it myself, for the color pages and nostalgia factor.

I've read or skimmed the remainder of the series. Did you have a question or something? You can PM me with it.
