| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- Nice to see this series return but...that was way too short for a chapter! A promise made between Mea and Mana. Interesting. |
 |
| I think i've forgotten the plot of this already |
| Since the hiatus of 2014, NOTHING has happened in this manga. I'd better don't have any more chapters until Hoshino is fully healed and full of new ideas than having to read 10 chapters of bullshit along all these years where nothing happens. She's clearly just trying to meet her deadlines with Shueisha and earn her money, I can't blame her for that. But this is getting ridiculous, it seems I'm watching DBZ, One Piece or any other Toei/Pierrot filler crap and waiting for something to happen while the characters just keep on facing each other saying nothing. Sorry guys for the rant I love you Hoshino |
 |
| You can't be serieus, that was a way too short of a chapter. We've been waiting for 6 months and get an 8 page chapter :/ |
 |
| Well that was more of a teaser than an actual chapter. I'm gonna have to reread all this since it's been so long. |
 |
| What the actual fuck? |

Sorry guys for the rant I love you Hoshino Yep, exactly. Cannot agree more. WTF is this THING? 7 pages? Are you kidding us Hoshino? To hell with the health and other stuff. 6 months of waiting and now THIS? 7 pages of more NOTHINGNESS? Just cancel your series and wrap up wth a novel really. This is just disrespectful both to you and to fans. |
| well that was fucking disappointing i'm sorry but i didn't wait 6 months for 7 pages of nothing at least the art was good i'm sorry i still love you hoshino-sensei |
 |
| Was this some kind of joke? (Already more pages than the whole last 6 months...) |
 |
| I don't even anymore... |
 |
| Welp....there's that. |
 |
| What kind of health issues does she have? Must be something very serious if it keeps her from drawing D.G-M. |
| Hoshino-sensei just lost a ton of cool points with this chapter. Actually, can this even be called a chapter? |
 |
| Umm okay, so after waiting 6 months, we get 7 pages and that's it. Seriously? I can understand Hoshino has health issues and all, but I think she could've at least drawn more than 1 page per month. But I feel like the real issue is that Hoshino might not know where to go with this. I mean, this 7-page chapter was mainly just large panels that don't go anywhere. If she wanted, she could've filled this chapter with a crap load of dialogues HxH style. It would've mean that Hoshino would've drawn less and it would've been easier for her. But instead she just makes a 7-page chapter to inform everyone that this series is still alive, even if nothing new's happening. Maybe she's just trying to pad it out. But at the same time, I can't see Hoshino running out of ideas for DGM, especially since there's so much to do. Whatever happened to Lavi? XD |

I also believe she's got issues with her neck and her back. Anyway, someone brought up the possibility that she was forced by magazine editors to release something for this month. And that may be the case, since the series is quarterly already and she had 6 months. |

| When you see 15 pages you're pretty dissapointed already, but in reality it is even 7 pages ... The eternal waiting continues. |
 |
| Though I'm really happy to see one of my all time favorite series return, seeing only 8 pages breaks my heart after months of waiting. I know Hoshino has a lot of health issues and all but I'd rather have one large chapter released rather than a short and tiny one that gets my hopes up. Especially a short chapter like this that had pretty much zero advancement in the plot. The past few chapters were short but I didn't mind much since quite a few were released within the year, which is something we haven't gotten in years. This chapter upsets me greatly. Here's hoping she releases a little more this year to make up for it, but I'm also hoping they aren't short chapters. I know I'm probably asking too much but like it was stated above already, it's getting hard to remember what is happening in this arc. Anyways, as expected, her art and character designs are absolutely stunning! |
 |
| It's really hard to feel satisfied with only 7 pages, but at least we got something? Let's just hope we don't have to wait another six months again. |

roshinante said: I looked the syndrome up because...never heard of it but that is like the ultimate mangaka knock-out health issue D: If people know that, how can they be so rude? Well many are just frustrated. I don't think many want Hoshino to risk her physical well-being for a manga. But all the breaks get tiresome. But, more than that, it's frustrating when chapters are announced for release in JUMP, but they wait until the last min. to deliver bad news -the chapter not coming out after all, or that it's only gonna be 6 pages. But they have waited 3-6 months to tell fans this. And that kind of last min stuff thrown at a fans probably aggravates more than the breaks. And some are also frustrated because there are other solutions. Hoshino having another artist draw for her, which I THINK has been done before. Or having someone help her finish DGM in a novel format -either of these ways have Hoshino not taxing herself so much, with fans still getting more story. Or just release 1 final fanbook that tells the ending, characters' fates, and secrets So many are annoyed and wondering when she's just gonna do one of these -and stop trying to draw herself, since her pacing will have her working on DGM for another 20 years, which she probably doesn't have (to draw), given how bad her health is now. |

| What an intensive chapter !! no, it was not ... i understand that autor have bad time now but this "chapter" was pointless. |
 |
| I was ammazed, then disappointed, but now I'm terrified - what if DGM will end in some crappy way :'( But I don't want to lose hope! Sooooo, we see Allen/Nea forehead and there are no stigmata (even when he is Nea at the moment). |
| Stages of being a D.Grayman fan who has been waiting for an update: 1. Thank the lord that a new chapter to come out! Hopefully something interesting happens. 2. Sees how many pages there is and questions if anything actually happens. 3. Reads the pages. 4. Chucks their device or whatever across the room. 5. Carefully retrieve the broken device and admire how pretty and good looking the characters are. God something must happen soon but I understand the conditions she is in currently. At least I can admire the pretty artwork. |

| Is this a joke? Only 8 pages in a single chapter? Is this for real? A half year waiting and this is what we get? Please, can somebody say that is is just a mistake by the websites publizing this.... |
| How I love a game |
| Alright, now that all my tears are shed, all I have left is...incomprehension. 7 Pages after 6 months? Really? Even with such a disease that just doesn't seem possible to me. I think there is something more than just bad health. This Chapter feels like the end od chapter 223 instead of a new chapter. Maybe did she released only this because she needs the next issue to be published in one time? Maybe this is a administrative problem? Maybe something else? Isn't it strange that they dare promise a chapter in spring if she can't do more than 7 pages in 6 months? Anyways, there is definitely another reason than just his health for me. |

Sorry guys for the rant I love you Hoshino Don´t be sorry, you are right. I feel the same. I respect and admire Hoshino, but things are just terrible. I honestly prefer a loooong hiatus than chapters being poorly done (Despite artwork being great, the plot became incredibly confusing.) I understand her health issues, but this chapter was simply ridiculous. Seven pages that haven´t said nothing. Really nothing. I´m frustrated. And I admit, I was very rude at other place, but............ Augh, this is tiresome. The last six months weren´t easy for the fans (And her, of course.) The Instagram incident, the poster incident, the chapter and the fanbook being postponed... It´s just... Frustration. |

| 8 PAGES!!!!?! ARE U F*CKING KIDDIN' WITH ME!!! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO TAKE THIS MANGA SERIOUSLY WHEN THE MANGAKA DOESN'T!? Ok that aside, there's no way her bad health to be the only reason for this. I bet she has planned how this story would conclude long ago with all this foreshadowing and stuff, so running out of ideas wouldn't be the reason either. Not caring for this manga is not an option too, given all the fanart and sh*t she did on her instagram. There has to be some other problem Hoshino-sensei has. Idk what it is, but she has to get in hands before she loses the interest of all fans left. |
 |
| The art is absolutely amazing and fabulous. The plot, aside from Earl returning home and Tyki and Nea met, nothing much to say. Appreciate there is a chapter but let's just hope this is the one and only shortest chapter we'll even get. |
ThugKamishiro said: That was such a tease... Now I have to wait for at least 3 months to see this interaction between my two favorite characters. Hopefully Hoshino-san's health will improve. yeah but 7 pages is better than nothing check hunter x hunter lol naokiwalker said: I was ammazed, then disappointed, but now I'm terrified - what if DGM will end in some crappy way :'( But I don't want to lose hope! Sooooo, we see Allen/Nea forehead and there are no stigmata (even when he is Nea at the moment). it seems she have some health problems better hand this to another mangaka / artist |
 |
| Been such a long time since the last update, that I had to reread the arc. Chapter is too short and it's just getting nowhere now :( |
| This is like watching Naruto Shippuden back in the day, except in monochrome stills -Kappa Like, 7 pages? Or more like 4, if you wanna be technical. What we've learned now! Tikki hates the 14th, and gives him the evil eye. Very intriguing stuff! xD |
| Glad to see Hoshino still alive, but... |
 |
| 6 Months for this? |
| I entered here expecting a source for the "complete" chapter. For the comments I assume that was the chapter. I don't have words, this was... actually nothing. |
| Waifus only represent ideals |
| No matter what D.Gray-Man remains in my mind the best manga. I hope that she will heal quickly. We can't have an excellent chapter every time. So I keep waiting because the plot is amazing, the character's are great, the drawing's gorgeous. Try to be patient people. We're all excited but let her take her time to fully recover and then maybe we will get normal chapters, leading us to a true ending following the spirit of the manga and not dashed like others. Remember, it could get much worse so enjoy what you have. PS: Train yourself by reading Berserk kek |

Remember, it could get much worse so enjoy what you have. PS: Train yourself by reading Berserk kek I will tell myself that lol. That thing is, Hoshino's pacing is absolutely perfect. That it ... In term of reading. Like if you read the whole series or even volumes by volumes the reading experience is optimal if we judge only by the information and actions delivered per panel. No infodump nor empty panels or useless bubbles. But for people who have to wait chapter after chapter, the pacing per page is not enough. Especially when the content is so scared. I am not sure Hoshino realizes that times passes .even though she has no risks of being cancelled given that she is in a magazine that mostly releases one shot, she can do whatever she wants but the real life hourglass is also ticking. I'm not sure she realizes that her condition won't get better with time... Look at the inner cover of volume 25 where she promises her assistant that they will do other works together... |
| Just.....No. don't even release anything at all if it's going to be this. At least I would slowly forget about the manga and I won't be disappointed. |
Onikilla said: Yeah, me too. I'll re read it when it's completedI think i've forgotten the plot of this already |
| So April is coming to an end. Any news on a new chapter or hiatus? |
| Na, they didn't say anything about the cancelation of the chapter. Not even an excuse or anything duh. Well, hopefully there will be a chapter next month. I keep praying Saint Hevlaska. |
