Hoshino-sensei just lost a ton of cool points with this chapter.  Actually, can this even be called a chapter?

But then why in hell would she had continued the series in 2015 with a big twisted and even better drawings?

Why in hell would she had opened an instagram account to show what she is doing if she just wants us to forget about her work?

Why would she allow a new anime to promote her manga when she really wants to put an  end to it?



Just saying that she used to be on shonen jump, providing one chapter every week. And now she can't even draw a chapter in 3 months just because she is...lazy?

Really? Does that seem possible?



"Also funny you mention that account considering IT HAS BEEN TERMINATED by hoshino yourself. There's optimism and then there's averting your eyes from reality."



The single fact that the opened is a proof of her will to invest herself in the series. This is a time-consuming, privaty-consiming device.

Yes she closed it. She explained this is because she misused instagram (post her complain about hallow fanservice poster thingy). But the fact that she had opened it while nothing forced her to do so (very few mangakas have one) is a proof of her determination AND caring for the fans.

This instagram account had no other effect except making people more invested in D.Gray-man and Hoshino. This is the exact opposite of what you pretending she wants.

What kind of health issues does she have? Must be something very serious if it keeps her from drawing D.G-M.



She has carpal tunnel syndrome. I also believe she's got issues with her neck and her back.



Anyway, someone brought up the possibility that she was forced by magazine editors to release something for this month. And that may be the case, since the series is quarterly already and she had 6 months.

I looked the syndrome up because...never heard of it but that is like the ultimate mangaka knock-out health issue D: If people know that, how can they be so rude?





Well many are just frustrated. I don't think many want Hoshino to risk her physical well-being for a manga. But all the breaks get tiresome.



But, more than that, it's frustrating when chapters are announced for release in JUMP, but they wait until the last min. to deliver bad news -the chapter not coming out after all, or that it's only gonna be 6 pages. But they have waited 3-6 months to tell fans this.



And that kind of last min stuff thrown at a fans probably aggravates more than the breaks.



And some are also frustrated because there are other solutions.



Hoshino having another artist draw for her, which I THINK has been done before.



Or having someone help her finish DGM in a novel format -either of these ways have Hoshino not taxing herself so much, with fans still getting more story.



Or just release 1 final fanbook that tells the ending, characters' fates, and secrets



So many are annoyed and wondering when she's just gonna do one of these -and stop trying to draw herself, since her pacing will have her working on DGM for another 20 years, which she probably doesn't have (to draw), given how bad her health is now.

Did that just happen...?

"Oh shit, Tyki looks pissed! Wait, WHAT, THAT WAS IT?!"



I'd rather we get a long hiatus instead of this happening ever again. I can't imagine the fans over in Japan were thrilled by this either.

No matter what D.Gray-Man remains in my mind the best manga.

I hope that she will heal quickly.

We can't have an excellent chapter every time. So I keep waiting because the plot is amazing, the character's are great, the drawing's gorgeous.

Try to be patient people. We're all excited but let her take her time to fully recover and then maybe we will get normal chapters, leading us to a true ending following the spirit of the manga and not dashed like others.

Remember, it could get much worse so enjoy what you have.





PS: Train yourself by reading Berserk kek

This is like watching Naruto Shippuden back in the day, except in monochrome stills -Kappa



Like, 7 pages? Or more like 4, if you wanna be technical. What we've learned now! Tikki hates the 14th, and gives him the evil eye. Very intriguing stuff! xD
