Something that confused me about Nea's words and Mana's made me suspicious. The two of them and Allen Walker are actually 17? Nea mentioned that they lived together for 17 years and Mana further told little Red that he is actually a young but something changed his face when losing Nea. Nea wondered what happened to Mana's face back in volume 25. While the original Allen is supposed to be far older, the one reshaped Apo is actually 17 in terms of body according to Hoshino's profiles. When the series started, Hoshino said in Allen's profile "He is about 15" and with each mini timeskip Allen became taller and his age became 17 like the Campbell siblings.

Talking about memories, it seems Mana still retains something about the original Earl. When he lived worked with Red/Allen, he told him he still loved the world when staring at the red sunset. That was exactly what the original Earl was seeing while he was crying next to Catherine Eve Campbell. So the original Earl rejected Adam and split due to the chaos with Nea being the only one who hates the world?

Scanlation up already
So Nea had two allies: Allen's body host AND Bookman Jr. Allen thinks he doesn't remembers because of Apo's tampering with his memories so big chance we will finally know the truth of his past thanks to the poison of truth.

At least this time the flashbacks are new content. The circus arc was just the third light novel retold in manga form. Hoshino did tease the readers this arc for a while, claiming that a younger Cross Marian and Nea might appear. The thing that intrigues is that if the past Allen knew the original Earl. Not Mana or Nea but the one who appeared for two pages staring into the sky as Katherine picked his hat.

I just wish we got a little more present day stuff first. Like, we haven't seen Lenalee in how many years? Lavi's been poisoned and a prisoner of the Noah for how many years? Especially if they want us to believe there's a very dedicated Bookman society, who care deeply that the previous Bookman Jr died/disappeared, but seemingly aren't acting on the disappearance of the current Bookman and Bookman Jr. Etc etc.

I remember that in Charagray Hoshino explained there are two reasons why Allen left the order: 1. He just didn't work as an exorcist. 2. There are way too many characters in the story to draw properly.

Katsura Hoshino recently made an online an interview about what secrets of the series like how Cross Marian is just a fake name or personal tastes of Allen and the others. Probably the craziest thing is that Hoshino is committed to give D.Gray-man an ending once she reaches nearly the 50th volume! How is that gonna supposed to work? Even Vinland Saga and Saint Seiya Next Dimension had a better pacing than D.Gray-man.

I'm not sure what happens they are saying but it appears these two characters in the preview are the original Allen and his mentor. Judging by the English words, Allen is related to Lavi's clan to the point Allen also has the codename Lavi. When Cross Marian told Allen to visit Mana and Nea's mother to know the entire truth, the elder living in a mansion said somebody important to Bookman will soon come to their area.
