Nah, i just re-read the series starting from Black Order HQ Attack arc (which still makes a lot of sense) this afternoon just after this news came out and still find myself rolling my eyes. In standard shounen scenario, at least when you just invent some deus ex machina, make it interesting, like some alternative history (or interpretation). But D.Gray-man had none of that. In that one (at least from what I read in the manga) it was just random stuff happening over and over and over…and over and over. Each chapter was an annoying “this someone got fucked up” and no end in sight; frankly I hardly get what the point of events was anyway. Also, a good writer should partially answer the questions he raised previously before stuffing things up with more questions, but in the end D. Gray-Man has done nothing of some sort. At this point it just becomes an ouroboros type tales. Stories that do not focus on reasonable storytelling, but merely making the audience more and more lost.

Sounds like a problem for casuals like you. I just read the whole series and it all made sense for me. Some things are answered later on. If you pay attention to the plot, you wouldn't be so lost. Stop treating D. Gray-Man like a simple shonen and pay attention to the story-telling.

Casual? *heh*. I followed the series since 2008 (alongside the anime) til the latest chapter, hell i even visited the wikia several times to get some things clear, so i'm hardly a casual. by the way since i don't feel like continuing to argue, i would just point out that your "Some things are answered later on" is my biggest gripe of this series in general, because Hoshino Katsura seems to have a knack for withholding certain mysteries for so long, oftentime without even slightest hint of clues in sight, that i stopped to care.

It has to be because of D-Gray Man or is it because of Kekkai Sensen but I doubt it because the manga doesn't sell as much as the former.
