| That.... was short -___-" !! |
 |
| i already anticipated that this chapter would be short and have little to no action...that's what you get when the manga artist's wrist is broken >.> |
 |
| chapter was ok but to short imo. |

| Cross! So much love. |
| wow, amazing chapter... I mean, finally we know something more about Allen's past. and Cross... I knew he was good for him, always. what is sad, Allen has to be killed. and, again. no info about Lavi. |
 |
| lmao, mana's face sorta looks like the earl's when he's in his human form :-/ |
 |
| Tooo short, but loved it anyway. I just loved how cross was treating and nursing allen, especially how he was angry all the time like when he was cleaning the blankets I just couldn't stop laughing. |
 |
| Started out as cute, then descended right down to depressing real quick ;_; I'm afraid 'Allen' isn't himself any more :'( But there's always hope for salvation....right? |
| It was soooo good to see Cross again. He indeed took care of Allen even if it was like a torture for him. Maybe this is why he treated Allen like a slave after :D Nearing the end it indeed became quite depressing. It's been a while when we got to see such clear drawings of the mangaka. I think this was much better than the previous chapters. |
 |
| I wish it was longer, but i am happy after reading it after a while. I always wanted a chapter on his childhood after mana's death. Marian does care about him, i hope he isn't dead. But the way they talk about him being taken over by the 14th is depressing. |
| Ok chapter, but it was too short :\ |
 |
| is the lavi arc ever gonna happen? |
| Loved it. Its really interesting chapter I would call "Interlude". While hole chapter as bassically a big tease for the cliffhanger ending it had, its always nice to see more of Allen's backstory and Cross. And yep, DGM still manages to mantain the absurdly awesome shifts from comedy to downright bleak depression. 5/5 |
 |
| This was a nice chapter. D.Gray-man is finally becoming good again. |
 |
| Just like everyone else was thinking... waaaaaay too short. Especially when we've just experienced a 2-month hiatus. I've heard several things like the manga-ka was sick or her wrist is still healing. If that's the case, I'll hold my tongue. If it's not... why Hoshino先生, whyyyy? XD The chapter was really good and entertaining in itself and I'm glad to hear we get another side story around July 15th! I'll definitely be looking forward to that! I'm not sure how I feel about the current artwork. It's way too bold for my taste. There aren't as many minute details as we saw around the Timothy and G arc. I LOVED the artwork then, it was so mature, detailed and beautiful! I hope Hoshino先生 starts to turn towards that style more as her wrist heals! That art style inspired my own style! <3 |
| Cute flashback to Mother. Too bad we didn't get to see them playing cards. I really liked her character from DGM Reverse. Sure didn't expect him to end up there though. I thought maybe Kanda, but can understand why he didn't go there. So another side story huh? Wonder if that will contain more Reverse characters. |
 |
| This chapter reads a lot like the typical D.Gray Man before the anime ended - clean and obvious direction. Hopefully this means Hosino sensei has decided not to go back to spamming as many noahs and "alternate" exorcists as possible, and just focus on a group of core characters. The story has taken a detour for long enough. |
 |
| it was too short :( but good chapter. |

|
| It was actually a nice change to see something a bit more lighthearted as I feel the conent from the last year and a half has been so utterly depressing I'm surprised I haven't taken a razor to my wrists yet. Still not happy with the major artstyle change, but at this point me complaining really isn't going to make any difference. |

 |
| the chapter was really short, but it was still good! and we finally get to see more from Allens past :P looking forward to the next chapter! |
| I was truly dissapointed with this chapter. I mean, this wasn´t absolutely worth the 2-month long wait! I thought about rating it 2/5 but unfortunately I don´t have the heart to rate a chapter of my favourite manga worse than 3. I expected it´s going to be something long after a 2-month long break. But 21 pages were just dissapointment. Then, almost everything was a flashback - that´s one thing I really despise (Reason why I disliked Tenjou Tenge was it was almost all just flashbacks). Also, not much epicness going on.... But I´m not that negative. There were positive things about it too. Some parts of it were really too cute, so the atmoshphere here was disturbed. Yay for Allen´s cuteness :3 Final -> (A worse) 3/5 for this chapter. Hope the next chapter will be epic... Since I really love this manga I don´t want it to go bad. :( |
| - This is a bucket. - Dear god... - There's more! - No... |
| Allen past, decent chapter but short ;) |

| Very interesting chapter and it was funny to see Marian caring for Allen as a child :P |
 |
| I do not know why the hell should every strong-minded and quirky-by-arrogance character be turned into a joke. Aren't there people who think cool men should just be left being cool and not taking care of children?! Anyways, the art was nice esp considering the injury(I didn't know about it, but I read it here now. Thanks for telling me even though it was unconsciously)... it was a cool chapter, but... I think it was definitely not worth the waiting. Too short and if I have to be really frank - unsuitable for the plot. Mr. Cross was the only male character left for me to cherish from my anime/manga stuff and now even he was turned into a joke. Anyways, I suppose the chapter can even be considered very good, if I cared about Allen and not Cross, Bookman, Kanda, Noahs and the Earl... Sadly though, Allen is not worth even 20 pages in my own opinion, an old lady .... even less. |
   |
| nice to see Cross again and it was a great chapter that showed us more about Allen's past which was definitely needed BUT....only 20 pages wtf |
| 20 pages....wtf Hoshino?! Anyways most likely "the 14th" took over Allen's body already, so I doubt he'll be himself in the next or the following chapter. =/ |
| huh? what happened in this chapter? I know there was a flashback and all but in the present time what really happened in this chapter?!! |

cardtrick said: huh? what happened in this chapter? I know there was a flashback and all but in the present time what really happened in this chapter?!! Allen went to the house of the old lady everyone calls mother - she appeared in the novels before and I heard someone say she was in the anime too, but I don't remmeber it at all. Rest of the chapter was really all flashback, it's just the last sites. And that mother wonders if Cross is still alive somewhere, personally I take this as just (another) hint. mc said: her current style is one big piece of shit (sorry, but it's true). I hope Hoshino will see it someday. '...will see it someday?' What's that shit suppossed to mean? That she just doesn't try hard to enough drawing these days? Or better - she deliberatly draws worse to let herself get screwed by all the mindless little kids trolling around in the internet? Really, some people need to get some respect and common sense kicked into their heads. It's probably bad enough for Hoshino to have serious health issues and problems (you know, it's maybe hard to believe, but some arthropathys affect the wrists aswell), people could at least respect how she continues to work. It's okay not to like the art style, I loved the older one much, much more too, but it's a complete different thing to post arrogant, disrespectful stuff like that. I'm sorry for Hoshino for some of the 'fans' she has. I'm sorry for being bitchy now, but comments like that just piss me off. Regarding the really cool stuff... new chapter <333 It got me really confused, to be honest. The way Cross talks sounds as if he knew Neah in person and pretty well at least. But Neah died about 35 years ago - so how old is Cross? It's likely anyway it has a reason why his age is still 'unknown' without an explanation 'till now (if I didn't just miss it), and he was a scientist before and is pretty knowing in terms of black magic... well, we'll have to wait and see. There's way to many 'is he/she dead now?' going on in DGM by now - Cross, Kanda, and some poeple still ask that about Rhode. Still Cross is the only one really debatable anyway I guess~ But assuming Cross knew Neah, I'd guess thats why he can convert Akuma as shwon in the Edo Arc. Neah was a Noah after all, he should have known what Akumas really are and how everything works (what assuming from the Earls words the Order doesn't know). And Allen... he's always cutest when shown as a bitchy little brat %D Now that chapter furthers the Allen-has-personality-issues theory pretty good, huh? Just said as a side note, I think Neah looks a lot like Allen anyway - or maybe better to say Allen looks like Neah. Makes it look even worse (and I'm still trying to see how Neah is suppossed to look like Tyki ô.o) |

I'm sorry for Hoshino for some of the 'fans' she has. I'm sorry for being bitchy now, but comments like that just piss me off. I was big D.Gray-man and Hoshino's fan. now not, because I'm very disappointed what she's done with one of the greatest manga EVER. it's not like I hate or something, I just think she makes mess now, in everything. I know it could be sad for you, reading her work is piece of shit. and I know about her health problems. right now the best way for her is to finish D.Gray-man as soon as possible or make very long hiatus till she will be ok for sure. Yoko Matsushita, the author of Yami no Matsuei, said that she is afraid of finishing her manga because her art style could change a bit. in my opinion, Hoshino should do the same thing. |
|
| I just want to see D.Gray-man like it was in 2008 or 2009, because then her story and art were briliant. the fact is I can't accept what she's doing now. after hiatus her art style was different. some people think this happened because Hoshino changed her assistants. in the other hand, I saw her drawings from Jump Festa 2011, they were different than in manga, and much more better. I care about her, because her works are so precious for me. she created beautiful reality, which is my favourite now. and, I have to say it again, I know about her health problems. and, again, she should better go to long hiatus and take care of herself. you judge me because I say my opinion. well, it's rude... |
|
mc said: you judge me because I say my opinion. well, it's rude... Nobody is jugding you because you have an opinion. You get comments like mine because your disrespectful towards Hoshino and her work. Because you behave like a spoiled little brat - even worse(!) when you know about her health problems and decide to IGNORE it and bitch around anyway. See, what you want or what you not want is one thing, it's another thing what Hoshino can do now without harming herself. And keep in mind that the desicion to go on hiatus doesn't belong to her alone. Or that she might want to continue working because she likes it. And if you want to or not you have to respect her desicion - take your censequences (like dropping DGM) or whatever, but don't judge Hoshino when you don't have the right to. If you don't like DGM or her art style anymore that's perfectly fine, and noone would judge you for that. Then drop it. But instead you are the one whos being rude and acting arrogant - if DGM is 'such a piece of shit' then let it be. I actually think the story is still great - it got confusing somewhere along the 'hiatus - active - hiatus - active' time, but that's understandable. And the Artwork isn't bad or anything close to it, it's just different than before. Hoshino is still an awesome mangaka and I'm very glad that she didn't go on hiatus again (although if she'd decide to, I'd be fine with it if it helps her getting better). |
| now taking part in this conversation don't make sense for me. sorry if I hurt you, my opinion is my opinion. |
|
| God... people, please read everything. |

In fact, it makes him even more of a badass. |
| I never would have thought Allen suffered so hard after he killed Akuma-Mana. T_T Cross part definitely makes me happy and funny. Never imagine Cross would do such things. xD Interesting to introduction Mother into the actual series and she actually know the 14th stuff. |
