D.Gray-man Chapter 242 Discussion

Apocryphos is annoying asf someone gotta get his asap

It's really hard to follow and don't know what to say anymore after reading all of the replies here but I am glad that chapter are releasing its not the same case as Nana,hxh or berserk at least.

Ye it's indeed hard to keep up with how the chapters release after so long.



I think he thanked Red.

Fantastic chapter!



If someone told me in the begining of DGM that I will love Earl, and he will became great chatacter, possibly one of the best written villains? I would never believe him. But Hoshino just did that...and it is amazing.



Yes, it could be better if it was like 50 pages, but we know that is all about Hoshino health and we don't want her end up as Miura. So even 19 pages works well for me. But it's true that there could be 23 pages or else, still from plot point it is much better choice to finish chapter at this point.



Art in this chapter was amazing. Each manga panel was like whole picture. And you even feel that this story is alive itself. Hoshino is real magician xD



Now talking about plot...well I expected to see chapter like this. Moment when Allen saw dog inside of Mana was weird. With this translation it seems that dog illusion didn't calm down Red, but actually made him even more angry. And we finally get to the point when Mana will became Earl again.

I'm not even close to understand what is going on between Nea and Mana. I meen Mana is clearly not evil. Yes, you could say that he killed Nea(or try to do that), but that happened already after events like Nea who killed all Noah's except Road and Mana and after Nea created 14- th room. Also I remember about Nea who after meeting Mana in nowadays said that:"it doesn't matter if Mana remember or not, till he could kill him." From other hand he made Mana following "Allen" till he meet him. Mana is really not looking evil at all, he just wanted to stay near his brother...he gives vibe of really good person, unlike Nea. So yeah...I don't believe that Mana gone mad first.

Now talking about Apocryph - he called Allen his disciple, while he called Heart as his master, which proves that Allen is not the heart.

This is so short. Still love this manga though. Art is gorgeous.



I guess the story will flow better when the volume finally comes out, as it's usually the case.

That was a really short chapter.  You would think that with chapters only being released, what, four times a year, that we would get more than a few pages.



Anyways, looks like Red's grief is the reason why the Millennium Earl came into existence.

At last, his art is not making me wonder what it's going on.
