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?
