It was a real treat back then... When? 2008 and since some time that same year it became crappy little shit so yes, even though I'd like to keep on bearing the pain of the artworks and concepts and characters and blah blah blah... I could not take it anymore. I haven't seen a bit of D-Gray Man ever since, hmmm...

I wasn't expecting much from this manga. The first 3 or 4 volumes were not that great. But I kept on reading and tadaa! It became awesome. I don't know what other people think but in my opinion the art became much better too! D.Gray-man is funny, addictive, exciting, original and inspirational. The plot is great with many twists. The characters are very likable too. I can't get enough after finishing the latest chapter. ^.^

i stopped reading this series when the kanda arc was almost over cause it was such a mess but i decided to give it another chance ch 202-205 looks very promising my advice if you stopped reading this manga cause of the mess try reading ch 202 and above

This was one of my favorite manga. It used to be so freaking awesome.

After it went to monthly releases due to some health (?) issues of the mangaka it became a big piece of sh*t. Seriously nowadays I hate it. It went from being a 9/10 to a f-ing 2.5/10.

Seriously read it until it becomes a monthly manga. When you get there stop or continue if you're a fan of having to stop reading a chapter so you can facepalm with the stupidity of certain scenes. The new chapter just came out and it seems to be getting even worse.

R.I.P. Weekly D. Gray-Man You will be missed.

I Hope the will continue with the anime, because i don't really like to Read shounen. Well i'm a Girl so i Hope they will continue with the Anime so i don't have to stop such an amazing Anime / Manga

dgrayman has done it again.. as the story progresses i'm starting to think that their is more to it that meets the eye..really who could comprehend what will happen next in the next chapter..i wish to see kanda one more time..or maybe allen and kanda working together in this,..i just cant wait..

hope fore the neext release sooon...=)

D.Gray-Man is absolutely breathtaking! The futher you advance in the story the more you have to read it! In the begining the story is prety obvious, The Milenium Earl tries to destroy the world with his Akuma's and he Noah clan, but the story becomes much more intense and realistc (I'm serious, the war becomes more like how it could be here in our world if we had such a war).
Hoshino-sensei does the best she can with the art, people are complaining about it but the art is still good and a great part of the characters even look more appealing than before (Tyki~ Road~and yes Allen to~~ =3)! And she has her own unique style, no matter how she draws it! And every mistakes or things she doesn't like in the drawing style is re-drawn/coloured in the Volume's.
She tries to draw as much as possible as she can, being to scare to dissapoint her fans (seriously, she's like Miranda (from this series) and she's so cute!)

This manga is really worth to read! and it's also fun to read her try-out manga's Zone and Continue, you see how those two manga's turns into D.Gray-Man, one of the best manga's ever!!!

Well...in chapters 180~200 the story gets messy...
but its improving a bit...and im enjoying this series again..its been a long time since last time =]

Overall: Great art, confusing story line. Lengthy story, and requires a full out attention span and to start from the beginning- and if you're hooked, you'll be stuck on the bandwagon forever... unless you're like the rest of the DGM fans, and find that latest chapters have been... ugh.
The art is amazing. You won't get sick of them, unlike others of which you take one look at a stony face and turn away. By itself, the art is a masterpiece. She has her style, but it changes every so often. It sadly isn't always clean, but that's because of the heavy contrasting of darks and lights. (Not the scanlations )
The plot line is like a maze. Just when you think you understand it some, she turns some other way, confusing you further. At first, it goes kind of slow, but it soon picks up the pace with fighting and handsomely drawn action scenes.
The sense of humor that follows certain characters can never leave one's mind. Each character has a different personality, obviously, but it's very simple to keep one separate from another, and very clear in aspects. At least one character will come to your liking.
It isn't ecchi, and it isn't dirty. It's humorous, sometimes with adrenaline pumped action, sometimes with playful way-too-strong-but-won't-kill hits. It isn't some boring love story either, filled with lots of horror sometimes, but not at all scary. It brings out the sad and true morals of life... just sometimes interpreted in different, chaotic ways.
Lately: You can call it a fall-back manga now. It used to be... it the top thirty's? But people just can't keep up anymore. Someone wouldn't understand if you started to read at chapter 200... and now, well, someone wouldn't really enjoy it either.
I would recommend this to someone who likes dark humor and some action fighting, not someone who likes blood on every page.

I watched the anime first before reading the manga and I thought both the manga and anime were excellent! The art is beautiful in the beginning but towards the latest chapters it's gotten worse however that doesn't downgrade the manga. This is one of my favorite mangas because the good guys don't always win which makes it more realistic.
Art:
The art the beginning was so good but allen always looked a little timid, as chapters gone by i'm not sure if the author decided to change the hair style but he looked more healthier. Overall, the art is beautiful and is very detailed. One of my favorite art in the mangas I've read.
10/10
Plot:
The plot was well thought through and executed well. Even though there are some gaps here and there the plots isn't too confusing. You may get confused the beginning but later on it will make you want to read the next chapter. The innonence was very creative and there was different magic abilities! Also, the "good guys" didn't always win so that made it more realistic.
9/10
Characters:
There wasn't a lot of character development through chapters but there has been some though the past. Each character was unique in its own way, but allen had a more "good" personality. He always want to save everyone but overall the characters were pretty realistic. 10/10

However, I was very disappointed by the latest chapters. I was no longer excited and everything seemed to be getting worse and worse. I can understand the art because the author injured her wrist but I just don't feel excited reading the manga anymore.
