what a let down

at least we are sure now that Neah is going to kill Mana, which means he is not a villain

[Kanon]

I thought it was a joke release at first. So few pages after so many months. What's even the point of releasing a chapter like that?

[Wandering Soul]

I understand that the author has an injury, but why even bother releasing a chapter like this?

[GDB]

In all honesty, she's had an injury/illness of some sort off and on for like, 9 years now. Her assistants already do a good amount of the art, if not the majority of it. At a certain point it seems like it'd be wise to just dictate the story/plot and supervise rather than continue to injure yourself/make yourself sick trying to do it yourself.

[Sageblink]

That wasn't even a proper chapter, per say... -_-

[Mad Pierrot]

Even the previous chapter felt rushed. I agree with GDB but it would be a shame. Tyki back to his first outfit seems to imply Hoshino wants explore his similarities with Nea. Still, I miss the actual protagonists, especially Lavi

[DorkingtonPugsly]

Been reading this since it's one shot was released all those years ago. By now I'm just so used to getting a chapter like this. I wouldn't even be surprised if she had to go on hiatus again. But yeah I feel like she should've taken this issue off as a break and put out a full chapter next time. At least the drawings haven't disintegrated!

For real? Who is the one doing the art and chara design as of late then? Since it's really good

[Kuroageha]

It's Hoshinp, she even used to show how she draw in Instagram.

[GDB]

I believe she does the initial rough sketches and then her assistants fill in the rest. They've been doing a large amount of the work since the North America branch arc (which is why the art changed so much before that compared to during/after that).

[Mad Pierrot]

A torture for giving us so little pages

[Mad Pierrot]

By the way, for the people living in North America, Viz will release volume 25 in May

[Mad Pierrot]

Three things
*Shueisha confirmed the April issue of the Jump Square Crown will have the D.Gray-man chapter. Let's hope something will happen this time

Spoiler for size:

*New fanbook confirmed: D.Gray-man Official Fan Book -Gray Log- (Gray's Memory)
* Allen is an anagram of "Nea II"? Also, these two have identical swords like the Mana D. Campbell

[GDB]

Is it bad that the first thing I thought upon seeing a new post in this thread was "Ugh, did the new chapter get delayed again?"

That Allen/NeaII thing is neat though.

[Mad Pierrot]

This is just a theory but I think Hoshino will finally end the "Search for A.W." story arc this year based on the fanbook (the previous one, Charagray, was released after Alma's story arc). Still, I don't see Allen returning to the Order although Kanda (now a general) could provide evidence that he didn't kill Link

[Mad Pierrot]

Ladies and gentlemen! Another chapter has been cancelled! See you in year 2200 when Hoshino's arms get better or clones herself to write the series

[Kuroageha]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Seems my pessimism was well deserved.
