Preliminary (157/? chp)
I first got into D. Grayman out of curiosity because a lot of my friends were reading it and gushing about it. I expected it to be just another basic shonen title with little to captivate me, but I quickly found out that I was wrong. The first volume hooked me like none other, and I found myself with an obsession warranting catching up to the Japanese release on scans. Anyone that knows me (which isn't many of you) knows that I hate reading scans for many reasons, but it was a necessity for D. Grayman because I couldn't wait for the volumes to come ...

[EDIT: I wrote this review nearly 11 years ago, and I am just as infatuated with the manga now as I was back then. If this doesn't convey how much of a 10 I think it is, then nothing will.]

Another misundersanding here, but why is this manga not reviewed?! Second review for manga! Here it goes!

Story: There are stories where we can skim over a few chapters and still understand what's going on; there are stories where we can skim over a few volumes and still get what is happening. D.Gray-Man doesn't fall into either category. If you miss even two- three pannels at first, ...

There is something strangely compelling about D.Gray-man. Perhaps it is the cast of characters that grows, not one obviously faster than the others, but together, or perhaps it is the emotional rollercoaster the mangaka has managed to take the readers on.

But whatever the case, D.Gray-man has this mysterious air about it, this feel of something apocalyptic and yet real, as though the characters are losing while it is clear that they are winning. [But are they winning? Winning? Or losing?]

There is something about D.Gray-man that makes you think, that makes you wonder, and that makes you shocked and surprised at the littlest of things.

The main ...

there is something about this series that i find very captivating. before i started reading/watching this series i remember one of my online friends mention it every now and then and she seemed to really like it. even so there was still something that kept me from trying it and i fully regret that now because there is not much about this series that i can't appreciate.
ok let's get down to business now. let's start with a story. when i first heard the basic story of humans vs. demons what i thought was "this doesn't seem like a very original story and i ...

When i first found out about d gray man, i wasn't very enthusiastic about it, the synopsis sounded as generic and repetitive as almost every shonen ; a cursed boy joins an organisation to defeat some evil dudes. It wasn't until i stumbled upon katsura hoshino's marvelous art, and i liked the aesthetically pleasing gothic setting of the story. I checked few panels and illustrations and eventually decided to give it a shot.

D gray man is the farthest thing from a generic shonen story, it's truly a shame this manga isn't as famous as many other works . It probably got stuck in the middle ...

I can't remember if this is one of the cases where the Anime ended prematurely causing me to start reading the manga. But regardless D. Gray Man has lost me over the past few years. Many of the chapters seem to jump in time and location making the already confusing story line even more difficult to follow. Who is bad and who is good becomes frustratingly unclear as the story moves from a simple black and white to one huge conspiracy theory.

D. Gray-man was a series that I got into because my friends often talked about it. However, the first few chapters did not disappoint me, so I kept reading.

While the feeling of "this is your destiny, find these items" has been used time and again, D. Gray-man does bring some interesting spins. However, this does not ignore the difficulty of such a broad thesis, so to speak. I think that Hoshino realized rather belatedly that it's difficult to keep the reader interested in a manga that will go on for quite a while. There are 109 or so Innocence; the Order ...

It started off quite slow, but around the second half of the series (around volume 12,13,14) it picks up a bit. By volume 21,22 + it gets insane. Enough to call it an unfinished masterpiece. I'm sure when I read it again, I'll pick up on a lot of things I missed

story 10 - plot twists are insane. and the slow buildup worked. when reading this itll pay off if your patient

art 9 - the art is beautiful and gets better later on

characters 9 - the dynamic between the antagonist and protagonist is mind blowing. just brilliant. as well as all the characters have a ...

STORY
Despite the fact that this story begins as a typical good vs. evil plot, the story thickens, twists, elaborates, and eventually becomes a huge web of gray. One of the previous reviews states that the main villain is inherently and undeniably 100% evil. If the reader simply invests into the series, there will doubts. D.Gray Man has proved itself to be unique and compelling. The story line may begin as standard, but evolves onto a whole new caliber.

ART
The art is very appealing to those that enjoy detail. The style consists of handsomely created main characters that are set in juxtaposition with the Gothic 'Akuma' ...

Good idea. Distinctive drawing style. Not a good beginning. Toward the middle and the end it got better. I had dropped it 3 times before I actually came to the part where I could enjoy. The power of the earl is somewhat fluctuating in an inconsistent way.

This is my first review, so I apologize if it's not very clear or has any other problems. Now onto the review:

Story 7:
The manga started off great and the story was very pulling and imaginative. The wealth of characters and the different types of weapons/enemies in the manga made it very enjoyable. Although it followed a somewhat streamline shounen storyline as the main character achieves more and more power-ups as time goes on, the philosophical and religious perspective of the story added more depth than what most other similar mangas have. I loved the story a lot until the more recent ...

D.Gray-man is totally one of my top 10 manga since it has all the things i wanted. It has humor, adventure, horror (a little) and romance(?!) lol

The characters are hard to forget. The story plot moves fast. Other than that, they are Hot! lol
especially Kanda, Rabi and Allen. All in all, its awesome!

Too bad its on hiatus though. Rumor has it that the mangaka was sued for plagiarism so i searched it up. I was frustrated because they made such a fuss over something that is SLIGHTLY familiar. If ever you could see the article then you will feel the same way too. I ...

-D.GRAY.MAN-
A shonen I didn't think I would like but fell in love.

My expectations: A basic shonen, filled with a messy plot, probably full of cliches and uninteresting characters. A bland manga with nothing special. Keep in mind, I had finished the anime before getting to it, so I thought the bads will be more than the goods as in the anime but oh boy!

What I get: Amazing cast of villain, a great main character, insane reveals and a really enjoyable story. The tragic story of Allen Walker and how the author does it is absolute perfection.

Unlike most other shonen, this one has a got ...

Ever since i started to Read D.gray-man the story line has kept me spellbound. After every issue i keep wanting more. the characters of the story are enchanting and the world that they live in is top notch when it comes to inventiveness. Katsura Hoshino has made a story that has captured many peoples imaginations including mine. The characters of D.Gray-man are equally as enchanting as the storyline. At some parts the characters would have me laughing out loud then the battle scenes would draw me back into the seriousness of the storyline. overall i fully enjoyed this Manga alot and the Anime is just ...

D.Gray-man has the most common elements of shounen manga. The main character has a rare and special ability, he had a hard childhood but is still a kind person. There is a clear line between good and bad, a large group of supporting character and a lot of action.

And even though this manga has all of this, it's different from the most popular shounen mangas, and much better than them.
First of all... It's hard to believe, but yes, this story has a plot. Not just separate sagas and fights, but also a clear pattern of cause and effect. Defeating one enemy after the other until ...

What It's About
--------------------

“D. Gray-Man” is a shounen manga that follows a cursed teenage boy named Allen Walker on his tragic journey as an exorcist who fights weapons known as “Akuma”, mechanical beings that contain suffering souls of the dead.

Allen and other exorcists fight together to destroy these Akuma with the power of “Innocence”, which are anti-Akuma weapons. They are engaged in an ancient war with the creator of Akuma, the Millennium Earl.

The story holds this simple premise but begins to weave in complex ideas about life, death, tragedy, and perseverance that are extended on with its cast.

Okay to summarize D. Gray man out is.....THE BEST FREAKIN' MANGA EVER!!!!!

I love D.Gray man such an awesome Manga. The first manga that I bought almost every single book. And I don’t regret spending money on it. I enjoyed every single book. It is an enjoyable manga.

I rated everything as a 10 for outstanding.

I love all the characters. I love Allen, Kanda, Lavi and Lenalee etc
I always giggle every time I see them all. Only Katsura could make such good looking awesome character (usually you don’t see such good looking Manga characters in shonen jump) and they have ...

Story : 7
-The story of D.Gray-Man is a complicated one, and only gets more so as the series progresses. As of the current place of the manga, there are still many unanswered questions, which I hope to see answered by the time it finishes. However despite the confusing nature of the story at points, it still is really good whether you can understand what's happening or not. My review on the story may change as more questions are answered, but as of right now its a good story with many twists and turns.

The D.Gray Man anime is enjoyable, if not kind of strange and quirky. The story is a little on the formulaic side, but the characters are somewhat interesting, and the art is quite unique. If you liked Soul Eater or Pandora Hearts, this anime has some similar stylistic elements going on.

The manga is also entertaining, although sometimes the author just seems to totally forget what story she's trying to tell. Things get quite dramatic and dark as the story goes on.

The anime does not actually have an ending, as the manga had not completed by the time it finished up, ...
