-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.
Art : 9
-The artstyle of D.Gray-Man changes as the story progresses, which would
...
usually mean that the artstyle went from decent/bad to good as the illustrator got more experienced with how they want the story to look. But in this case, both artstyles, pre and post change, are stunningly beautiful to look at. Every character is drawn beautifully and every panel is gorgeous. Both artstyles can shift from serious to comedic at a moments notice, which goes well to characterize all of the D.Gray-Man cast.
Character : 10
-This is where the strength of this series shows. Every character is written extraordinarily, and are given their own motives, goals, and personalities. Every character is so unique not just in this series, but from any series. The author makes sure to show us that even the people we see as villains at the beginning have their own dynamic and interesting, fun characters that stray from the standard evil villains. None of them ever act out of character or do something that they wouldn't do in the scenario they're in. Fantastic characters through and through.
Enjoyment : 9
I really loved reading through this series. When I was recommended it, I was told that it felt like Fullmetal Alchemist in a way, and I can 100% now see where they were coming from. Both series have heavy plots, but never get too heavy with the comedic scenes to weigh them down. The comedic scenes in D.Gray-Man were always a blast and never brought away from a serious scene in a bad manner. I think that D.Gray-Man is a fantastic series that is far too underrated and doesn't get near as much credit as it deserves.
