Don't you guys think of the possibility of someone might be temporarily drawing D.gray-man, in place of Hoshino? In place of her when she's ill or whatever condition she has.
It's like, Hoshino do the story and someone or more like her assistants draw it. Of course, I guess the drawings are still under her supervision.
I know about Hoshino's time to time change of drawing style but isn't it just too much of change? that it almost feels they're not the characters anymore.
Btw, It's not yet proven that Cross' dead, right?
If you're just referring to this chapter (215), it wasn't just DGM that had "sketchy" art work this month. It turns out there were a few other series as well, some that appeared even far more "sketchy" than DGM.
I wouldn't be surprised if she did have assistants, but I don't think she would allow someone to do all the drawing for her. If that were the case, there would be no need for her to take a hiatus at times.
As for Cross, we know he had an encounter with Apocryphos, but since Cross' body disappeared soon after it was discovered, I guess it's not a 100% clear if he's dead or not. In my opinion, I think it's in the air as of now whether he's truly dead or not. Knowing Hoshino, it could be either.
