D.Gray-man Chapter 231 Discussion

Can't wait for Allen and Kanda to go help out Lavi. I guess they're not far from the mansion we saw a few chapters ago and at least Bookman's supposed to be there. (Not sure if the Noah clan set him free just like that though, or if some of them stayed with him, it's probably a trap 'cause Road knows Allen's heading to this place... Anyway, we need some informations reveals about what he knows already!)

Allen and Kanda get rid of Tiedoll, Johnny (alleluia), Krory (would like to see him team up with them again...) and Chaoji are supposed to be far too, and Link (great too, he's kindda boring)...

Apocryphios isn't supposed to appear again now, 'cause David and Jasdero (so sad they look soooo different from the Neah's Arch arc...) beat him up if I remember correctly...



Now, I'm waiting for chapter 232, coming this month. (don't want to see other fights with basic akuma...)

We're entering the final arc maybe when they join the mansion/Bookman/Lavi...

Katsura Hoshino said, like 2 years ago maybe, that she has a lot of ideas, and D.Gray-Man isn't supposed to end now... I really don't know... HunterxHunter would end in 2 or 3 more arcs after the Dark Continent, Berserk is coming back to its final straight line I guess, and One Piece's supposed to end some time after releasing the 100th volume... (I think that just like HxH, there's gonna be 2 or 3 more consistant arcs after Wano Kuni...)



I'm still a fan, but I'm more and more worried about D.Gray-Man... Don't want to have a rushed ending. Because okay it is slow, but I don"t necesserly the story being deeper and deeper is a bad thing, we had to have some explanations one day and its time, even if it needs for Katsura Hoshino to take her time thinking about the final. We don't have to stress her out, it would be sad to have a shitty ending after all her work. She's really tough to continue with her health problems... ;-; (way more important health problems tant Togashi in my opinion)



Finally I would just put those links here for people to understand what she's going through so far...

(sorry for this long ass full of paragraphs comment)

sadly not a ton happening in this chapter, but I'm sure all the hints here will be important later on

let's find out more about Allen's past!!

"The story of Allen's birth"



See you in 10 years.

It's really pleasant to read this while listening to good ol' DGM anime's OST :')

Would someone please refresh my memory?  Was Mana a Noah, or a figment planted in Alan's false memories? Mana is one half of the Millenial Earl. He's very much real. Neah is real too but his memory's were implanted into Allen..

Sincerely? That was a bad chapter. Yeah, the art is great, Allen and Kanda together are fun but... I'm just tired of reading this manga and getting nowhere.

Sometimes I feel like Allen will be over soon and only Neah will left, so that's Hoshino is always showing us Allen's best moments. It's really a farewell

I can't believe how Hoshino changed her drawing hand once, the art is amazing!



Anyways Kanda wanting to know about Allen and Allen's reaction was hilarious.



Let's see what we'll find out in 3 months hopefully

Cannot wait till they beat the Akuma only to have Allen in the very last page of the next chapter telling Kanda the (beginning of) story of his birth, then wait 200000 years more for chapter 233!

Nothing really happened.

How nice... 3 months of waiting, only 20 pages, like 80% of them unnecessary and repetitive Allen and Kanda situations. Thanks Hoshino, with that story pace, I am sure my grandchildren will be able to read the series as a whole.



Seriously come on!! Your health allows you ~20 pages for each quarter, and this is how you work? Fun stuff with our boys that we already experienced hundred times? I should not be surprised after the previous one, but I got my hopes up since I really loved this series. It is really losing me.

Would someone please refresh my memory?  Was Mana a Noah, or a figment planted in Alan's false memories?

A short but entertaining chapter. I guess that’s whereo Mana start to teach Allen the Musician score. Allen and Kanda chemistry is fun as always. 😆



Allen’s backstory incoming. I’m guessing it might take a while as its hard to predict Hoshino’s story telling progress nowadays.
