MasterWalt I can tell you this right now I have rheumatoid arthritis myself so I can kind of understand what she’s going through. Remember my doctor telling me that the three worst places to get arthritis are your spine, your knee (which I have arthritis there) or anything below that, and your hand just because those three places in particular are either used a lot in daily activity, or in my case a lot of pressure is put on those parts even was just standing. Also one of the worst thing about arthritis is that there is no cure, only treatment which using those as my gambling where you are either lucky or not I say this because even when the treatments work at some point they can stop working due to The body getting used to the medication or the arthritis getting stronger and when that happens the arthritis can start to spread to other joints in your body, which is I think what is currently going on with her right now. As for the whole social media stuff another side effect (that is not really connected to the arthritis but it can be caused by it)is that it can ruin a persons social life, i should know this because when I had my arthritis I didn’t want to go anywhere because it was too painful for me to even stand up. Anyways I apologize for the long comment I just figured I’d give people an idea as to what she might be going through.

Damn shame that the fanbase isn't bigger. I'm one of the few that still follows this series religiously. What I love, and still draws me, about Dgrayman is the fact that it isn't afraid to grow with its audience. It starts out like a typical shounen, however, it quickly evolves into a more of a seinen. The questions they ask, the themes there are, the fact that Hoshino isn't afraid to kill some characters off. Keeps me stuck to this series like glue. Hopefully, it may be able to continue. BUT, ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, the manga is finally getting somewhere major! We may finally get some answers and I"m shook!

I am not surprised that piece of artwork pissed her off. I was very confused by it, I understand that is a popular fan pairing. But it undermines not only those two characters, but the entire Ark of Hallow. Kandas backstory and connection to Alma is incredibly important and non sexual, that we as the audience ever see, but it is romantic. And that is the biggest driving force of Kanda as a character is his love for Alma, this kinda....threw that out the window for a fanon ship.

They damaged his identity and his independence as a character. Good on you Hoshino.

You appear to conflate run-of-the-mill carpal tunnel syndrome with the severe case that she is supposedly afflicted with, or had. Carpel tunnel is very common, and is seen across all walks of life. It is even a common characteristic of pregnancy (via water retention). It is a pinched nerve, not a debilitating disease, and is usually resolved via old-fashioned R and R and maybe a splint. You say that carpal tunnel routinely scares artists, but that's not the case at all. If, by some chance, Hoshino's carpal tunnel is serious, it ought to be treated as the rare case it is. That said; the carpal tunnel claim is unsubstantiated.

This was surprisingly sad. The bit with the box on her head reminds me of Yoko Taro and the health issues remind me a lot of Togashi. I hope she can recover and someday come back to social media. Wish there was a way to support her money wise because now I feel guilty reading the manga online without compensating the artist.

What's Hoshino's IG? 😱

D.gray-man is definitely my favourite manga. And no matter what that’ll never change. The only thing that I’m really scared about with its current schedule is the possibility that it’ll never have a conclusion. I want D.Gray-Man to have the ending it deserves, and I want Hoshino herself too feel good about it too. I believe the choice of characters in that piece of art that got her to cancel the DVD releases was the biggest problem. The Hallow anime was about Kanda’s relationship with Alma, not Allen. Not to mention the unauthorized sexualization if her characters by an official company is probably something that ticked her off too. But I guess we’ll never really know much about what happened with Hallow. Anyway my point is that I love D.Gray-Man and I wish the best for Hoshino and hope that she feels better, both physically and mentally in due time. Definitely gonna subscribe! This is some quality content and I really enjoyed it!

Uhmm, I thought the real reason was because someone leaked her new chapter of D.gray-man. I was following Katsura Hoshino at the time (I actually just made an instagram to follow her). By my memory(It might be incorrect), she posted one thing before actually deleting her account. I think it stated something about a chapter, or a portion of a chapter being leaked and that she was only allowed by her manager/editor to have an instagram account if it does not create any problem for the series. However after the leak incident, they decided that she had to stop using it. She used to post sketches of the pages and stuff, but not the whole thing. That was what I remember though. It might just be a cover up though.

It’s honestly such a shame that a wonderful, emotional and thrilling anime/manga series ended up this way, D.Gray-Man is by far my favourite series and I have so much respect towards Hoshino and hope she is doing much better, you can tell how dedicated she is to the series and how much she got hurt.

Oh, finally someone makes a whole video about D. Gray-man and its problem, thanks a lot. DGM has always meant a lot to me, it was the first manga that I started to buy on my own (a little over 10 years already), and its since become one of my biggest influences. Which only makes it so much depressing, it used to be one of my favorite manga but as the years pass by and with its scarce updates, I sometimes have trouble keeping my interest on it. As a loyal fan I can only keep buying DGM content to support Katsura Hoshino, I can only keep believing in her, but even now I don't know if DGM will keep existing with this pace. I don't want to lose hope in something I love so much, but it's honestly hard with how it's been in the last few years. I feel so helpless, because I know I can't do much.More than just seeing DGM have a proper end, I want Katsura Hoshino to be okay.

D.gray man will always be my favorite manga even if the anime isn't my favorite anime. I love the dark vibe she put in and her take on good/evil which in d.gray man seems to be a gray zone. I do hope she will be able to finish the series and I'll wait for it no matter how long it takes. Thank you for the video

I am, to this day, still a follower of DGM. In fact, I even have a poster of it on my wall right now. I love the series, I grew up with it, and I will see it to the end whatever that may be.

Hoshino deleting her instagram and the cancellation of the hallow release are not directly related. When Hoshino first started her instagram, she promised that she would in no way state anything negative about the anime/fan merch/ect, aka what all mangaka avoid doing because it can have a potential negative impact on the fanbase. she wasn't "furious" about the kanda/allen magazine poster-- she posted on instagram that she didn't like, thought it was ugly, etc but then she realized she shouldn't have commented on it publicly. Because she broke her "promise" to herself, she deleted her public instagram and issued an apology-- I'm pretty sure she still has a private one though. As for the hallow dvd cancellations, we'll probably never know. They were initially delayed because hallow's animation quality was horrible, which meant a lot of time in post-production to re-do scenes, clean things up, etc for the bluray release. But while this process is going on, the animation studio still needs to work on upcoming shows/current shows. So Hallow's dvd and bluray cancellation was probably a result of not enough time to clean up/redo scenes for the release, not enough pre-orders to justify the amount of work to go into it, and probably hoshino disliking the new adaptation (though there is NO guarantee about this). Also, there was the announcement of another art book release, but it's been indefinitely delayed. At least they're still releasing the PVC figures and a current collaboration for jewelry/clothing/accessories. Also, back in 2013, Hoshino also took time to work on the character designs for Kakumeiki Valvrave (Valvrave the Liberator). I love d.gray-man so much, and while I wish we had more consistency in releases, I will continue to support hoshino and the series.

Please don't drop it, Hoshino-san.

Ooooh so that's why she was so angry about Hallow. I had no idea about that artwork but looking at it now, yeah I can see why she was so angry. The studio basically defiled two characters that were never meant to be like this, all for advertising the show. If it was a fanmade thing, I doubt she would be so angry because there's plenty of Yullen around already even when the series was going strong, but given that this studio had her permission and then went against her back like this...yikes . I'm happy that she's continuing her work even under such strenuous circumstances with her health and scheduling, but as a fan, it is a little frustrating to support and wait for so little amount of work in return. I've supported this series since 2006 and I love it a lot.

Well, I for the love of god can't see why she got so angry. It's a promotional picture made to attract some fangirls who dig yaoi. The picture itself wasn't exactly explicit or pornographic. It's not like the studio changed the plot to make Allen and Kanda fuckbuddies. On the other hand, making anime is expensive, and blocking BR sales probably costed the studio a fortune. Sure, it's her IP so she can do what she wants, but to me it looks like a big overreaction followed by a really immature business decision.

I appreciate her reaction. The production company pushing through promo that wasn't approved is a low move on their part and I appreciate that she did something about it. Especially when the quality of the artwork itself doesn't reflect well on either Hoshino's or the production company's work. It's also not the first time that she's been some level of upset that some aspect of her vision for the series or characters was changed, which may have been why she reacted so strongly this time. I think cancelling the dvd/blu-rays was a bit too extreme, but I agree overall with no longer continuing the contract with that production company.

Y'all are acting like they killed her firstborn lol Which i guess, as an artist, I can relate if someone butchered my vision of my characters. I don't think the picture's subject matter was as big of an issue as it seems, though. It's not THAT bad as far as other bait official art goes with characters hugging or hanging off each other - Anime studios do it all the time especially for female characters and no one bats an eye. As an artist who allows Anime/other companies to use your series for profit in exchange for exposure to your work you do have to accept some alterations so it sells (ex. offical Anime art of AUs like maids, coffee shops, beach scenes, etc.) I think what happened is she had multiple gripes with the studio and this just happened to be the one that ticked her off at her high-point of being pissed off. She needed one more push and they gave it. It's really sad and I'm glad she put her foot down, however it seems this just nicked what could have been a blooming flower in her career. No Anime sales means no advertising or hype. No sales or hype means the popularity for the manga goes down. Lack of popularity means the company won't bend over backwards for you anymore. She is clearly an artist with a lot of passion for her work so I have no doubt the magazine had to make accommodations for her as a result, but if she's not bringing in the money? There's no real reason to do that. Add that to her lack of page production and the clear business solution would be to move her work to a lesser-read magazine so her schedule isn't a glaring issue but her series can still keep going. I truly hope she gets better. I have to wonder if she has a medical condition preventing her from churning out pages, which is common for artists who don't take breaks to stretch while they work. It also seems like she's going through burnout with those low page numbers. One day I do hope to see the end to this series as it's one of the few that I only read the manga for, but never watched the Anime. Her art was such an inspiration for me as a kid.

The sad and tragic story of D.Gray-man 😭🤧 HOSHINO! PLZ COME BACK STRONGER AND START RELEASING MONTHLY

Someone’s finally made a video on this. I’ve been waiting years for updates on this series but it’s always been so slow. I hope she’s okay.

I don't want to sound rude (but) I alway had the impression that D. gray-man was always this manga/anime everyone knew and knew it was a classic and awesome but nobody really watched

Tori Well I started out watching the original anime years back and I absolutely fell in love with it. I re-watched the series over the years and then Hallow finally made its appearance. I wasn’t too big on Hallow cause the way it was animated was too colorful unlike the original. But that didn’t change my love D.grayman I don’t think it was until 2017 when I actually read the manga from the beginning up until recently.

Nobody??? Are you including me you pokemon freak...

Considering how bad shipping communities are these days, I can understand her frustration at the animation studio making, what is essentially, official artwork teasing two characters. I imagine she got a lot of comments about it on Instagram

I really hope that Hoshino can get what she wants from her series. She's such a talented manga kai and could balance tragedy and humor so well. One of the many things that made her series so captivating. The series has been a long standing favorite of mine and has had a major impact on my own drawing style. It just inspired me to become a better storyteller and artist all around.

This makes me so sad as someone who loved watching d Gray man as a teen. It's still one of my favourite animes and to know about this breaks my heart. I hope she'll be able to recover and get back to continuing the manga.

I'm so glad I found this video! I am one of the few people I know who even has D. Gray Man as one their favorite shounens on anime related social media and groups. I made a poll when Hallow was going to air and most people thought the series was cancelled or never even heard about it. It's sad about all this tragedy surrounding one underrated series and Hallow made people think less of it, I dropped it after episode one despite my three episode rule. I could already tell it wasn't up to par with the manga. But anyway it's nice to see others still care about it and some enough to make videos on it!

I was the same with Hallow, i watched the first ep to the ending, but knew it wasn't going to live up to the original. But ofc, being me, i went back after a while and pushed through till the end. It def didn't live up, but it was at least nostalgic and funny to see some of my fav scenes re-done lol (if somewhat badly).

I LOVED THIS! I was introduced to DGM about ten years ago when I myself was 10 via the anime and it was the first anime I really took interest in, going as far as scouring the internet for the spanish translated manga (at the time my english was BAD). I watched the original series and followed as closely as I could the manga itself, but living in Mexico and having mediocre-at-best english complicated that. I recently rewatched the original run and subsequently Hallow and I was reminded of how good this is. I still am not an avid anime watcher/manga reader but I have devoted myself to exactly 5 series and DGM still is my #1. Anyways, as a nostalgic little bean, I really appreciate this (even more so because your hardwork and dedication is palpable through the screen). Keep it up❤️

Am i the only one in 2019??

D.gray-man will always have a special place in my heart as the first anime and manga I've watched/read and as one of my favorites topped only by masterpieces like Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, but without a doubt, I would prefer to have a ending to this than FMA: BH any day of the week.

!!! when i saw this video pop up on my homepage i was practically attacked by a flood of anticipation and nostalgia, imo there's never enough content about hoshino/d.gray-man in general. she's always been (and will continue to be) one of my favorite artists for both her style and ability to create characters, and it's been frustrating to see her struggles go unnoticed. while i'm not the biggest fan of the current limbo the series is in, i'm grateful that it hasn't been cruelly axed in a bid to save money u.u hopefully there might be some future turnaround that will breathe some new life into the fandom and help give support for the author much appreciation for this video, i'll be subbing to see more like it!

god this almost made me cry, I miss DGM so much ToT. beautiful and informative video.

Loved the video! Regarding the anime poster, I believe when it happened Hoshino stated on her Instagram she doesn't mind regarding what fans ship. She wants fans to enjoy the show in their own way and it wasn't about the shipping of characters at all to her. It was the fact that the anime studio themselves made a suggestive poster that gave off the wrong image of DGM just to make sales, and that didn't sit well with her as Allen and Kanda were being "used"; that wasn't her DGM. It's not that she doesn't want people to ship them, she doesn't want official advertisements to tease and bait something she didn't want for her characters and try to pass it off as official. I think in her post she took particular issue with Kanda in the image, as that was not "Kanda" to her. Overall, I just hope Hoshino can recover and tell us her version of DGM without studios sabotaging her or the deadly work conditions of a shounen mangaka.

Dude I feelssss. I think at least for me and mabye for u, this series stood out like a needle in a haystack because it represented life. Just the way these characters dressed, acted, and places they went, all had these dark under tones. The show didn't pretend to be happy. I feel like the tones give a good repsentation of what everybody feels like on the inside without trying to pretend. Which is interesting because the main bad guy is a clown(who is suppost to make people laugh and be happy) and yet wears his role like a mask, meanwhile he's the most sinister of them all. Alan walker himself is a paradox because he carries these tremendous horrors, but yet, through it all he smiles first kind of faky but then out of his heart because of the warmth and acceptance from his co-workers. Ahh! There's just so much depth. Mabye that answers u'r dilemma.

This is all really depressing. I love D. Grey-Man so much. ;-;

Meanwhile the creator of Nier Automata: "compile all the lewd 2b art in one place and link me it"

This series has been very close to my heart ever since I started watching the anime when I was 14- so 6 years ago. Allen was honestly a role model to me and whenever I was going through something hard, I’d think of how strong and positive he was, and how he kept smiling through everything. He never gave up and kept fighting for his friends. Seeing this video really hits home, because it really does feel like the series is dying, and it might just keep going on like this for years. But regardless of how sparse the publications are or how frustrating it might be for other fans, I hope we all remember the beautiful series Hoshino gave us and the hope her characters gave many of us. Let’s keep supporting her as much as we can. Never stop walking❤️ (Also, thank you for clearing up the history of D.Gray-man for everyone!)

Did you watch this as a child? I heard of this being on cartoon network but I didn't view him as much of a role model until season 2 and season 2 wasn't dubbed or on regular television until recently. I watched DGM when I was younger too though, back when it was on Netflix. I got more into after my obsession with ATLAB faded... I honestly liked the characters of ATLA better than D.Gray-Man, even now. I enjoyed DGM because of the plot and also because I really, really shipped Allen and Lenalee back then ~hahaha.

Katsura has pretty bad wrists, so she's been slow with her updates but she never stops amazing us and keeping us hanging by a thread--especially now more than ever.

As someone who has nearly followed Dgraymen since it first came out, this series is a major part of my life. I remember when suddenly chapters stopped coming out like they used to, and at the time i had no way to even read the sparse ones that did come out, to me it felt like the series had just dropped off the face of the earth. Not having any friends that liked the show, much less anime, i was completely alone in my worries, and eventually the series started fading away from my memory. I remember that i'd heard a rumor that the series would continue, and it sparked so much hope in me that i went back and re-watched and re-read everything i could find about it. I felt horrible having forgotten about it, and i'm still as loyal. I love the fandom because we've continued to stand by it and accept the fact that we're in this for a long time. In some ways the series being drawn out like it is, is good to me. It's compelled so many fans to think of extremely detailed theories, and given the fandom time to bond and come together and debate things. But then again, this is just ramblings from a random long term fan on the internet. I'm gonna leave you alone and go re-read the series again, and most likely look up those magazines so i can start collecting the Dgrayman copies! Thank you so much for this amazing video, and for potentially spreading the series to more people who might find an interest in the series. Much love

ad ds If you actually want D-Gray man to still be successful, you should be VERY sad about the DVD/BD not publishing. A series needs to be popular to continue existing, and releasing sometimes less than 4 chapters a year is the best way to fade in to obscurity. Even a meh anime adaptation could still bring new fans and reignite interest in old fans. By blocking the DVD's she most likely blacklisted herself for every anime studio in existence, so no more D-gray man anime (or any other potential work she might do next). Without an anime to get new fans and with the current release schedule, expect D-gray man to start fading in obscurity more and more, until the fan base will be too small for the magazine to continue keeping the series alive. Basically, she might have shoot herself in the foot very hard with that move and brought her series closer to cancellation.

Thanks for making this video, it's VERY thorough and well-researched! Like you said, only the really devoted ones have stuck around so it's nothing short of surprising to see a dgm video coming out at this time! Plus, I often see people wonder what's going on with dgm without having a clue about its publication issues, so I'm glad this can educate more who might be wondering about that. There's more to the story too, considering that not only were the Hallow dvds cancelled, but there were two books coming out- a fanbook and a second art book. Both were rescheduled twice, and the fanbook was eventually published while the artbook was cancelled. The hallow dvds has also been reschedules multiple times before their cancellation. There was an interview Hoshino did last year, but Jump took it down, too. So please keep in mind that, while there is no specific official reason for the dvds being cancelled, it's also not just because of the kanda & allen magazine promo spread (which, just as a note, she specifically stated that her problem was with the marketing team sexualizing & twisting her characters for the sole purpose of making money). Most likely, it was due to all of these issues put together as well as (or stemming from?) poor performance. One thing I wish you would've reconsidered on your video is the wording on Hoshino's view of the anime. The only thing she ever spoke about negatively in her instagram was the magazine spread, which she did very firmly but politely, but she never voiced any dislike or distrust towards the anime. In fact, she'd kindly bought the team donuts with box art drawn by herself as a thank you. I doubt Hoshino herself would have ever wanted for the dvds to be cancelled as it would've made fans happy to support the series, regardless of what her personal opinion of Hallow might been.

thank you for talking about D.Gray-Man!! it is so frustrating how underrated it is because, as you said in your other video, that manga is fucking genius. i remember the sadness i felt when DGM just stopped being published and the utter joy when a new chapter came out after almost 3 years, like hearing news from an old dear friend. Allen is one of my favourite shonen heroes ever and a comfort character of mine, so even if we don't get much, i'm happy we get something. I trust and support Hoshino and the majority of fans are willing to be patient in order to get the story she has in mind.

Thanks again for the shout out and the support! It really means a lot! You work hard on your videos and why not support it. I didn't know she had an Instagram account and after I know how she would feel if your characters are being displayed in a way that doesn't represent the series. I'm not sure when she is going to finish the series, but I hope that she reaches her goal since the series is my 8th favorite Shonen Jump manga. Are you going to do a World Trigger video someday? Hope you're doing well! Thanks again and keep kicking ass with your videos!

I cannot thank you enough for sharing this. This series has saved me and is keeping me going throughout life. I respect Katsura Hoshina and her work. I worry for her health and well being. I know it’ll be long time before DGM ends but I’m ok with that. I’ll continue to read and watch Series forever and I’ll be cheering for her and supporting her. Thanks again

I think waiting for the mangaka to work through it at her pace will be well worth it. I’ve been a fan since I was 13 and I’m almost 27 now. It’s too beautiful and creative to be rushed. No matter how she chooses to end it I will be satisfied.

Thanks for putting all of this together! I've been a big fan of DGM for a long time and despite its hiatuses and short chapter lengths (which isn't too much of a problem for me personally), I've kept up with it and am hoping that Hoshino recovers and keep going with the series until it finds a clean ending. Great video :)

I WILL FOREVER LOVE DGM AHH to me, it's the best manga out there; completely original and unique. i've seen so many manga that definitely got their inspiration from hoshino. and, i'm sure she'll finish the manga guys!!! she still loves dgm, she just got an allen walker figurine recently!! :D anyway i'm just really sad, this series has SO MUCH potential. it still does. but due to all those reasons it's not getting the recognition it deserves :( oh well i'm just glad she's not giving up on the manga, and i really hope one day dgm will popularise once again (apparently it's still very popular in japan, just not so much in english speaking countries. it's in the top 40 best selling manga if I'm not wrong)

I don't think there's much hope of DGM regaining major popularity. With how things played out in the second anime series...it's probably dead on that medium and that limits the range the franchise can reach. Still going to be a strong manga and have good popularity. But with that major source of attention non-existent and the current rate the manga comes out....just don't see it becoming as popular again as it was at one point in the past.

Excellent video, man and you have earned a sub from me. D-Gray man holds a very special place in my heart. It was the first major anime I ever got into. The art style was divine, a beautiful mix of gothic and Christian inspired artwork. The characters, especially Allen Walker, are some of the most memorable in anime. But I will be honest; the hiatuses made me forget the series. It is sad that this series does not get enough attention for it I argue it has moments that eclipse a lot of more popular SJ series, like OP, Naruto etc. I truly hope Hoshino is okay. Because, I truly believe that this series deserves so much more. Heck, if I were apart of a major anime studio and had an immense amount of money, I'd want to reboot D-gray-man's anime. Overall, thank you for this video. It brought back a lot of good memories.

Thank you for making this video, DGM is my nr. 1 favorite Manga since it came out and I'm glad that not everyone seems to have forgotten about it

Great video! This was the first manga series that I started collecting, so it has a special place in my heart.

I NEED to get back into this, thanks for reminding me! Great video as always!

I hope Allen Walker is in Jump Force as a playable character

😭😭 your voice fits so well into the story and the music. Thanks for the lesson!

Thank you for this video. I had read this while I was younger and had wondered what happened because the updates seemed so sporadic to me.

Great Video, Alex! This is quality content! and I feel bad about Hoshino, D-gray man is a really good manga, and I'm a great fan, I would hate to see it fade away.

I'm really surprised to find a video about DGM, which is sad that it isn't common. I hope we at least get an proper ending, because I keep remebering about how Katekyo Hitman Reborn had a abrupt open ending. And I also hope Hoshino is okay, it would be nice to have a way to communicate with her and say how much I love her writing and drawing, I love this series so, so much, that I almost cried watching this video lmao. And it would be amazing if the whole fandom united and did something to show we are still here, that we love DGM, and maybe help Hoshino. Thanks for the video man

Happened sadness , cuz seems this never going see an anime again .😢

Thank you so much for making this video, it was really well done, but also very sad. D. Gray-man was one of the first anime/manga series I was ever into. It's so hard to find anyone who talks about this series in any way because of how much it's dropped off in the last few years, which is really just a shame. Even being such a devoted fan I didn't know the actual extent of Hoshino's injuries and her conflict with the DGM Hallow adaptation. Once again great job on the video and I hope Hoshino can finish this beautiful story because it's had a huge impact on a lot of fans.

Very well edited and really insightful. I started with your fantastic Berserk videos. Which made me binge the whole manga, what a journey that was. Keep up. The good work! I'll be watching :)

I wonder if it's possible that a manga like this continues as a light novel. That way the releases wouldn't take so long and it'd be a lot easier for Hoshino's health.

Bleach is continuing on in light novels with Tite Kubo providing story points, supervision, and artwork. So yeah, it should be possible. But it seems like, to me anyway, that she has no real interest in continuing the series. Maybe it would be better if she took an indefinite amount of time off, got right, and found her drive again.

Thank you for making this video! It's my favorite shonen series, and seems to go unnoticed by people in the community. I felt like I was the only one thinking and talking about the strange publication history and pace of the series, so it was great to see some actual conversation on the topic!

This made me extremely sad. I researched into all of this not too long ago, but even then, it's upsetting. Much support for the series.

No matter how many manga i read or anime i watch, whether it's Naruto or others, but D-GRAY will always have a special place in my heart! the amount of emotion that is present in D-Gray man and story itself really touches my heart! D-Gray Man will remain only best manga ever for me! I wish she could read what i'm telling her, because she is a great writer! One of the best writer! I fell in love with this manga because i like dark, and gothic stuff, it's like she brings you to a different world of fantasy and knowledge! She is really impressive! I wish she can complete her story!

i love this series so much, i have every volume of the manga and some of the merch and even if hoshino takes a while to update i will always be a big fan of this series. honestly hoshino can take as long as she wants to update beacase its worth the wait for her beautiful art and story

Thanks for this video, I too have been wondering what was happening with this series.

Still love this anime after all these years ..will keep on waiting definitely huhu

Omg thank you, im crying rn for some reason :')

From the moment I picked up the first book I fell in love with this series. I started reading just before her second 2 year hiatus. I got so excited cuz the day i finally caught up with all the chapters there was a new one that came out, little did I know it wouldn't come out again for a few years.....

Thank you for taking the time to talk about D.Gray-man. The story has progressed very slow but its hard to blame the mangaka. 2 updates per yr is so sad

Damn, I can't imagine how Hoshino felt when she saw that piece at the studio :/. Can't blame her for reacting the way she did

D.Gray-Man, World Trigger, and HxH... My Jump Hiatus Trio... as sad as Hoshino, Ashihara, and Togashi's situations are, I'm staying with them for the long haul.

It’s nice to see videos on the series as the fan base seems to be pretty small and not that vocal. So thank you!!
