I often lose track in terms of D.Gray-man chapters...
I still can't figure out when next chapter will be released,
when I wait for chapters later I find series is currently on Hiatus.
So... that's why I created this topic :)

Somebody know when next chapter will be released?

To quote myself from another thread.

The chapters are released every 3 months. It's a quarterly release. So, the official schedule is every Jan. Apr. Jul. Oct. We get 4 chapters a year.


So we were scheduled to get another chapter this month. But something has come up, and we may have to wait until New Years. Because Hoshino is working on a continuation of a One-Shot she did a while back.

Nothing is official right now. But it is a possibility that we won' have a chapter. However, it could be a misunderstanding and everyone just panicked too soon.

It's a waiting game at this point.

When copy pasting the japanese summary from the HQ site on google trad, it seems like the Demon King one-shot is only a repost not a continuation.
So there may be hope that the summary is incomplete at this point (previous issue had 20 different manga and this one only has 7) and Hoshino is only workindg on D Gray.

Still I hope so...

Seriously? A repost of that unnecessary one shot instead of continuing the already-slow-paced-quarterly manga? Which has only 25 volumes after more than a decade? Great thinking Hoshino, keep it up. And maybe we weill be able to read the finale with our grandchildren.

Agreed. If she's having this much trouble doing a manga in her 30s, she sure as hell won't be doing good in her 60s.

Idk if Hoshino is naive, or too ambitious. But she seems to be taking her time as if she's got all the time in the world.

I don't see DGM getting finished in manga format. It'll probably be cancelled, like Bleach, at some point.

I think, if it's too much for her to handle, she needs to just drop the manga and do a final novelization. writing may be less taxing than all the drawing, and detail. So that could work. Or, worst case, she can release a final, large, fanbook that tells

1. The fates of the characters
2. What parts characters played in the war
3. What secrets the characters had that hasn't been revealed yet
4. What the 3rd side was
5. What Nea's goal was
etc.

That can work. Fans get their questions answered, and she can relax and not have to worry about it anymore. Then, she can just stick to one-shots and small projects. Unless her editors, or a contract has decided she has to finish it as a manga.

Why are you talking as if she is on her death bed? The chances are much higher that Oda wont finish one piece than Hoshino.

I don't read OP, and never had much interest in doing so. Thus, I am not familiar with Oda or the series.

And I didn't say Hoshino is on her death bed. But apparently, given all the breaks, plus this new break -we can only hope it's just one month, she doesn't seem like she's ever gonna finish. Apparently even doing 4 chapters a year is too much for her, and she needs a break after 5 chapters. Idk Hoshino personally, I just have her work to go on, and the infrequent updates plus needs for multiple year hiatuses.

She mentioned in an interview that DGM was not close to being finished. And with the breaks included, in addition to no more than 4 chapters annually, then yeah. She'll be in her 60s before the manga may even be close to done. And her health and bones sure won't be any better then.

Now again, her health is important. So again, she should try other alternatives if that is the case.

However, maybe this break isn't a health issue. Because everything DGM related that was supposed to come has been cancelled.

Shutting down her Insta account in Aug.
The Fanbook and Artbook that were supposed to be released the following month -Sept.
The DGM Hallow DVDs that were supposed to be released in Sept., but got pulled and postponed to an unknown date. And it's still unknown currently
Finally, the manga chapter

After all the former 3 cancellations, I knew the chances of a manga chapter was looking bleak, because that was the last thing I was looking forward to.


Maybe it's a business issue. Maybe Hoshino's Instagram message caused a problem. Who knows. But funny how one gets excited about all these new things, only to have every last one pulled off.

I honestly can't see D Gray Man finishing. I think One piece has a much higher chance of finishing because it actually progresses. D gray man has been off hiatus for 18 months now and essentially nothing has happened. The story still has a long way to go and with this progress, it will be 10 years before anything of note happens. It may as well be on hiatus now.

I understand that Hoshino has health issues, but if she's struggling to handle doing a monthly chapter in 3 months (~50 hours for an 18 page chapter based on what other artists have said=100 for 36 and 150 hours for 54 pages. Therefore she only has to draw for 2 hours a day for a 50+ page chapter over 80/90 days for each chapter.) then she has serious problems and probably shouldn't be drawing in the first place. It's harsh, but the reality.

Yeah, this thing about the fanbook and artbook postoned is intreging. Maybe isn't it necessary a health issue?
Or Maybe she didn't finish the chapter because she hadn't finish the extra books yet and prefered to finish them?

this just saddens me ... this will never end...

I was so happy when she started publishing dgm again .. I noticed her IG was not showing up but honestly what's going on... is it possible she had troubles with some sort of copyright or something regarding the series?

I wonder if she'll consider passing the manga to someone else... maybe one of her assistants would want to continue or something... but dying like this... this is really the worst!

Na Berserk has (supposedly) a chap every month. DGM is in an even worse state.

I did find some new DGM info. This is not a chapter, or anything. But it is SOMETHING from Hoshino. DGM Wikia.
The D.Gray-man Official Fan Book -Gray's Memory- (D.Gray-man公式ファンブック灰色ノ記録 , D. Gurē - man kōshiki fan bukku haiiro no kiroku) is a series compilation booklet, with information on the D.Gray-Man series compiled by Katsura Hoshino. It will go one sale on April 4 2017 in Japan.


It's being released on a supposed-chapter month. So, Idk if we'll get a chapter, or if we'll get the booklet instead of the chapter. But something new with DGM from Hoshino won't have me complaining. Hopefully it's ready, and won't need to be pulled last min. like the other books and chapter.

So Hoshino is still active. Unknown if she may be working with TMS on Hallow. The DVDs for Hallow were slated to start releasing in Sept. But they got pulled, and the official site just says it's delayed for quality improvement -so Hoshino may have some hand in that

Because Hoshino's DGM books, and manga chapter get pulled as well. So I don';t think it's a coincidence that all the stuff got pulled around the same time.

It probably is 2 different books. I don't think the artbook is coming yet. This other book, Gray's Memory I heard about for April 4th.

But either way, good news we got some stuff circulating again. I am mainly happy for the chapter. But I also welcome fanbooks happily as well for any potential extra trivia, or hints / clues for what could be next.

Ok apparently the whole title is D.Gray-Man Fanbook: Gray log - Gray's Memory
So this is the same fanbook.

The artbook (Gray Walker) has still no know date of release.

By the way, the twitter link you posted, it is because I'm french that it appears in french to me or is it a french link? In this case is there no link for an english (or even japanese) version?

I know she got really upset about a piece of official art for the anime. I don't know if that's enough of a deal for everything to get halted like it did. But hopefully with these new dates (April for the book and March for the chapter), everything is back on track.

Ynkou Productions has come out with this info.
https://mobile.twitter.com/YonkouProd
Stated on the page it's a Spring Issue, which means it won't be coming out this month.

Checking, it's been stated by YP that this issue of JUMP has some DGM in it. Maybe that's the 7 pages.

Wtf, I didn't even think this was allowed to have a chapter of only 7 pages.

But this is only the preview of the spring issue. Like at the end of an anime episode you have a preview of the next episode. So I think this only means that there will indeed be a chapter in spring ( and logically the one in Winter is still valid as they announced it).

The 7 pages info is much more worrisome to me. Hope he misunderstood.
