D.Gray-man Chapter 243 Discussion

Red regain conscious but suit Earl appeared with a bunch of level 1 Akuma (the nostalgia of the creepy look).



The terror and annihilation of those circus trope was well done and bastard Cosmo got what he deserved.



Cross showed up in the end facing suit Earl.







Another gorgeous chapter delivered.

Good ol' level 1 akumas AND a Cross appearence? This chapter was worth the wait, and I know everyone complains about the release time but, at this point, I feel like anytime something major happens in my life, I go on ahead and deal witrh it carrying the confidence that, when I'm done with it, a new chapter has been released or is about to. I started reading this manga at the very first steps in my college education and now I'm here, working, happy, and STILL enjoying this series. Idk, it's a plus to me somehow.

Honestly, the only reason this manga isn't above a 9 is because of these slow releases. The main complaint I thought I had after reading this chapter was that it was too confusing and made no sense, but, upon rereading, I realized that this series is actually excellently paced—it just suffers hard from its release schedule.



Overall 10/10 chapter, amazing art, pretty good dialogue, surprising dark themes. Can't wait for the next one.

Does anybody understand what is going on anymore? I thought the earl is mana





The way I see it, just like all other noahs mana also has 2 sides of him (personalities). One is Mana and the other is the earl.

Every time I forget how good this series is, a chapter like this one appears. I don't even mind the schedule, if it results in quality like this. Great art, wonderful story. next chapters will release in April, July and October.

That went from 0 to 100 real quick. Ngl, I don't feel sorry for the circus guys at all, most of them treated Allen like crap.

I have no idea what's going on anymore.  Is Red/Allen a disciple of the Innocence or Apocryphos?  Did Mana know that The Millineum Earl was inside himself all along?  Glad the entire circus is dead, especially Cosimov.  They all treated Red/Allen like shit anyway.  No love lost there.  However, I am feeling sad for Red/Allen.
