D.Gray-man Chapter 188 Discussion

Well art is definitely different, this chapter is a little confusing but it was OK and nothing more than that.

Aa, finally back !



Lot of Kanda there, me likes ♥♥ And it was nice to read a long DGM chapter :--))

It's official. Kanda is a girl.






Lol at the females here that say he was so beautiful in this chapter because he looked like a girl. So it is true girls like girls also.You have the same taste as us guys. If girls had dicks you wouldn't even want men(well except those who looked like girls).

So men that actually have male characteristics simply are ugly.

Am starting to believe that deep down all girls are lesbians. I can't blame them since as a guy i find the female gender to be beautiful but i thought that it should work the other way around for them. You know finding manly looking men pretty like we find feminine women pretty. I guess it doesn't work that way.



Anyway this chapter jumped on events again. Every time i feel like i missed a chapter or something. How did Allen found himself there from that mountain he was on. What became to that fight with Tyki.

Hoshino just jumps forward with out showing how things developed.

Also did that head of American branch office became more feminine again or is it my idea. She started looking like a guy and she is turning in to a sexy pussycat. What the hell? I don't think they had plastic surgeons at those times.

Basically i have no idea what the Erl plans to do with Kanda. Or he just needs him to awake Alma?



Also the Erl according to Binktopia translation didn't said he was Adam.  




By the way. Why is Road a little doll? Is that one of her powers? To take such forms or did something happened to her? Hoshino sensei, you better start explaining instead of throwing shit at us all the time. And am really pissed of that the next chapter is in January. For Christ sake she did very little this half year and she still can't even keep up with the monthly schedule?

It looks like a mangaka's work is not that bad. Half of it is vacation time.



I don't understand why people complaining about the fast pace for this chapter.  This chapter is basically a continuation from the last chapter. Kanda been defeated by Wisely using his demon eye ability in the front page(around 1-5 page). Then he was transport into North American Branch(NAB). Same goes to Tokusa, after been killed(can't 100% sure even though he's most likely dead) by Sherly, Sherly bring his body to the NAB and somehow put him into the coffin(I believe). It is very straight forward for this chapter is you refer to last chapter. There isn't any need to show every single detail IMO, and there's not need for a Bleach treatment(which shows every single detail for everyone and drag the arc) in this series.



As to why Road in her doll form, it is indicated in the end of chpater 187 that it might be her true form(which shows the Earl human form). Although can't 100% sure, I believe she'll goes into detail with her as well as others.



The art has defintely made changes. It is up to people taste whether they like it or not. I love it.xD



Next chapter is next month(Dec) in January issue. Don't be confused.;) It will now release every month.



A mangaka is defintely not an easy job. They had to draw the chapters every day and in to make it on time which is very stress, especially for weekly mangas. Also, it seems like Hoshino sensei as health issue problem which is very suffer to her as well. I hope I can provide evidence but I haven't got one, might put it if I found it.

Okay, did I miss something, or is there a reason why Road is suddenly a muppet?



I agree with what others have been saying, the past two chapters have felt rushed. I don't like how a lot of things seem to be have been skipped over, it makes the flow of the story extremely confusing.

Art style still feels a little weird, I prefer the way it was before the hiatus.

I didn't even recognize Tyki, I thought it was Road's dad and then I saw his arm :/..... Oh wait re-reading the chapter, indeed it was Sheryl and Allen arrived with Tyki... confusing!



What I liked more about this chapter was Johnny. Hoshino always portrays him as the most human one, always actually scared of the akumas and the situations.  I usually don't like the type of whiny character but in DGM is different.



About Earl I thought it was pretty clear, after all he said "I am Adam, the first apostle "the Millenium Earl"" and then he started transforming.




As I understood Kanda and Alma didn't fight each other but they did fight till death.

Also I laughed at Louvelier being captured and who's gonna save his ass? oh yeah Allen



Last chapter I didn't think Hoshino was rushing things but now skipping Kanda's fight, the whole chapter felt rushed.

A lot of questions Dx can't wait for next chapter.

I agree with everyone that last chapters were really confusing. New Noahs mean potential fights :) New form of Millennium Earl appeared to be...erm, nice (especially Road). And Alma, is he the man Kanda wants to kill?

This makes sense. XD Anyways, he looked so cuuuuute there. ♥

He really did look super cute X3. Although seeing him actually show emotion outside of anger breaks my heart a bit ;_;.

but now he has got another personality. maybe... nicer? that's NOT Kanda, it shouldn't be like that.

Just because he showed emotion towards his past doesn't mean his personality is different, if anything his rough past explains his current cold personality. When said past is thrown back in his face it's obvious it would break his cold exterior a bit. When you go through hell and back with someone it makes sense you form a bond with them, especially when you are only children, so how could Kanda not react to seeing him again? This doesn't mean he is "nice" now, it just means he's shocked, confused, etc etc. It's possible to show other emotions you usually don't in circumstances such as this; that doesn't mean it rewrites your entire personality though.

Can I dare to say that, for me, the slash-y and you-can-clearly-see-that-is-has-a-female-author ones like Nabari or Pandora(which I haven't seen yet XD) don't actually come in that kind of category? XD I mean, they do, but, not in that way.... I hope you get what I'm trying to say ....

XDD BUTBUT...LISTED AS SHOUNEN D:

(lol yes, that was the only category of my search)

But yeah, I get it (and I agree xP)

And dayum, I was right about Kouichi/Raimei being canon in the future! -is like at chapter 6- My shipdar is working properly.



Although forgetting about FMA is a sin I cannot overlook.
