A cursed teenage boy saves mankind one soul at a time.Set in a fictional 19th century England, D.Gray-man is the story of Allen Walker, a 15-year-old boy who roams the earth in search of Innocence. Washed away to unknown parts of the world after The Great Flood, Innocence is the mysterious substance used to create weapons that obliterate demons known as akuma.A born exorcist, Walker's primary anti-akuma weapon is the cross that's embossed on his red, disfigured left hand, which contains Innocence. But not only does Walker destroy akuma, he sees the akuma hiding inside a person's soul! Together with his fellow exorcists fighting under the command of the Black Order, Walker leads the battle against the Millennium Earl, the evil being out to destroy mankind.Volume 1 https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/267263378/Volume 2 https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/267497659/Volume 3 https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/267535321/Volume 4 >>267759608Volume 5 >>267807607Volume 6 >>267997598
The previous anon said he couldn't do the storytime today, so for this volume I'm going to do it in his place. Have fun.
Sneak peek of best Lenalee design.
>>268041333Thanks Temp OP.
>>268041520You're welcome, kind anon ;)
Not the missiles!
Being Lenalee is suffering.
>>268042356Her smile and Allen: Gone

>>268042506Miranda bros, we are so back!
>>268042554Lavi is a man of culture.
Cool spread.
Never change, Miranda. Never change.
>>268042506Holy fucking sex.Her new design reminds me of Nico Robin.
Aaaaand we finally get the best Exorcist uniforms. Get used to it, we'll be seeing them for a while.
>>268042814Her power is so cool.
Lavi thought being edgy could work, but sometimes smashing things and screaming aren't the solution.
>>268041333Thanks!
I find sweet Bookman tried to solace Lenalee here even if her wellbeing is irrelevant to his mission. I have the feeling he's fond of her in some way.
Miranda looks so hot with that outfit.
>>268041548>spoiling lvl.3 right from the startDamn, I remember reading it on onemanga and how it shocked me.Eishi really was one of the best enemies in the whole series.His fight was unironically ABSOLUTE CINEMA
>>268043502It is. Sadly this volume only covers the beginning of the fight.
>>268042506I still can't believe how 90% of the females in the D.Gay-man are such a pure sexo
>>268042973I kinda want to see it evolved.Imagine reversing time to before Akuma made the contract with Earl and thus destroying it.
>>268043383And with her hair down too.
>>268043784Miranda is kinda creepy ngl...
>>268043156Bookman is 100% right there. I'm really hyped for the current arc and the previous Bookman
I love this sequence.
>>268043295Holy shit, I miss this art so much.This (Burton's) Gothic Horror really was full of SOVL.
>>268043499True, a fucking time manipulation is truly god-tier power.
This may be one of my all time favorite pages of the entire manga.
>>268043752It would be cool, but time powers are too OP and Hoshino doesn't seems to be very interesting in developing Miranda further, sadly. I hope I'm wrong and have Miranda's Innocence improve at some point.
>>268043841I CAN FIX HER t. Marie
>>268044005>>268043951>>268043897Gotta love the artstyle of the 14th Memories
ENTER...
THE GRAY MAN...
Of course the main character wasn't going to die like that.
Another cover referenced in one of the musical themes of the anime (opening 1 to be more exact)
Suman's pitiful face is so haunting.
Ngl, Bak was kinda cool before he turned into a buffoon stalker.
And there goes any mysticism Bak could have...
>>268044798How dare she be sleeping on the job.
>>268045837Ironic God cares so much about Allen despite him not caring about it.
Lo Hwa stood no chance. Allen's just so hot.
And so, Allen's training arc begins.
Was obvious it wasn't going to be that easy.
Even Hoshino KNEELS to Dragon Ball.
Literally me.
He's a creep, but a cultured one.
>>268045837Allen should feel bad for saying he didn't care now.
The whole lore behind the Innocence is so cool. Normally I would be bored at a lore dump, but this one was engaging.
Love how unhinged Fo looks in the last panel.
Forgot a page before this one >>268047491, sorry.
>>268042120Since they all were sentient does that mean that lavi just nuked like 20 level 2s at once? I fought he was the classic "mr potential" jobber
The first popularity poll of the manga, guys! Let's see the results...
>>268042506It must get really gay later to explain why this is fujo series
>>268047555By this point Level 2s are all fodder. Lavi's jobber arc begins later in this volume.
>>268047618Same pic with color and text.
>>268047724Same pic with color and no text.
Popularity poll results. Surprising Reever was so popular back then.
>>268047659Trust me, as the story advances it becomes a true sausage fest and most girls stop appearing at all. You'll see starting from volume 20 onwards.
>>268042506Miranda looks fantastic now. That anon from her volume must've been right, using her Innocence did rejuvinate her some more. That or she's finally eating healthy and getting some proper care now that she's not perpetually depressed anymore.
>>268048356This woman could have been the Yoruichi/Mereoleona/Mirko of DGM if only Hoshino would have bothered with her character... And the manga wasn't so gay.
What a bastard lol. At least he's sincere.
>>268042906Great to have you back, Miranda. Also, what about those two women from the brothel? Both of them are just allies of the Black Order, not members, right?
>>268048461>Also, what about those two women from the brothel? Both of them are just allies of the Black Order, not members, right?Yeah, they help the Order, but are not officially part of it.>>268048489Another mention of the Great Generals that went nowhere...
We return to Lenalee's side of the story now. And in the sky...
TITLE: ENTER
Rest of the popularity poll's ranking. Notice how Daisya fucking Barry ranked higher than Johnny kek.
We're approaching true kino, my /a/nons.
Lenalee shower scene, nice.
>>268043784>>268043841That's what makes her cute
Io and behold, peak Lenalee design it's finally here. Don't get too attached to it tho...
KWAB'd
See, anon >>268047555? The Akuma TANKED the same attack Lavi used to destroy those Level 2s early in the volume (at point blank too). This one Akuma is serious business.
>>268049379thats kinda fucked
Pure jobber energy.
>>268045427Hey, what's with that star mark on Allen's head?
Rest of the results of the popularity poll.
That's one ominous Tim.
I think this is the first time we properly see Bookman's Innocence in action.
Eshi is so cool.
>>268048895Damn, Lenalee looks fine
Like master, like student. Both a pair of jobbers.
Dat last panel.
Love this page.
>>268046703Bak can't catch a break.
I'll never get tired of saying this, but Lenalee's Innocence is so cool.
Another lovely cover.
>Dat leg lockEshi is so lucky...
Based sailors.
There was a page missing in the version I found, so I put this one from a different scanlation. Hope you don't mind it.
>>268047829Miranda making 9th is nice.
And here is where the 7th volume of D.Gray-man ends. Sadly it ends on a cliffhanger, and the true good parts of Lenalee vs Eshi happen in the next one. Still, there are some omake pages there, so let's post them.
Omake Part 1
Omake Part 2
Omake Part 3
Omake Last Part
There's this sneak peak of volume 8 that I spoilered in case there are some newcomers here (open at your own risk). With that the entirety of volume 7 is covered.Hope you enjoyed the storytime of today and see you this saturday. With luck the original OP will be available by then. See you~
>>268048588The clock about the ship makes it look haunted.
>>268050156Lavi? More like Jobi.
>>268049554It's the scar he received from Mana's Akuma. It adopted a pentagram shape after it healed.
>>268051462Thanks dood.
>>268043954Agreed. I miss it.
So is lavi the chad/uryu of this series?
>>268051211>>268051462Thannks, anon. The last two chapters were pure sex.
>>268054586Pretty much.
>>268054586Yeah. He's both the smart guy of the group and the one with the least screentime as well.
>>268048940>Don't get too attached to it tho...Can't wait for clear improvement next week.
>>268055499I'm trans, btw. Forgot to mention it.
>>268042506sex
>>268041255The guy in the cover is Komui, right?
>>268050866These sailors are manly.
>>268050089This is what happens when you put a pair of nerds to fight .
>>268051211I'm in love with that last panel with Eshi emerging from the sea while Lenalee descends from the skies to fight him.
>>268054666Who would have known Satan was a based Lenaleechad.
C'mon!
>>268058672No...
>>268059831Is it over?
>>268051462Thank you for posting.
>>268062782Very nice.
>>268047659>really gay laterThis ain't D.Gayman for nothing
>>268062782Nice!
>>268061479Not yet
>>268050156>>268050209>>268050254>>268050370>>268050417>>268050452>>268050505Lenalegs
>>268047659It will take a while, but you will see.
>Thread still upGood.
>>268056978Yeah, it's him though he looks kinda shady there. That cover is one of the strangest even if it's cool.
>>268067445Yes.
>>268070415I still wonder what the doll he's holding means.
Bump.
>>268062782SEXOO
>>268042959>>268048333Miranda's design with the new artwork was even better
>>268070415In general volumes 5-8 were given odd choices of characters featured in their covers given their content. Volume 5 has Road even though she barely appears there, volume 7 has Komui who only makes small appearances there and volume 8 has Bak and Fo despite the volume focusing on the fight of Lenalee vs the Level 3.You can make an exception with Tyki in volume 6 since his role there is short but effective, but then again he only appears at the very end of the volume while the bulk of it is focused on Allen and Suman.
>>268044005it's in one of the openings or endings as well, or multiple of them
>>268078393It's in both openings 1 and 3.
>>268047829bit shocked the earl didnt make it while both tyki and road did
>>268048538I always thought those bishops that showed up after the alma arc were supposed to be the great generals and that the guy responsible for the level 2 plan was one of them
>>268081509The Earl has never been that popular among Japanese fans (to be fair main antagonists seldom rank so high in Jump polls). Even with his more conventionally attractive human form he still seems just mildly popular.
>>268050254ok that was pretty kino
>>268050370her design and fighting style was so popular it regularly gets copied by other shounen heroines
>>268051211>>268051462Cant wait for the worst part of next volume where i any many others will be dropping this thanks to "character development"
>>268081857the earl is too comically lighthearted despite how evil he is to be unpopularmaybe if hoshino did the human form earlier he might've gotten more popular earlier if tyki was somehow able to but it might of ruined the second or third biggest plot twist of the manga
>>268082342Not copied enough, to be honest.
>>268083007its better if it doesnt get copied too much otherwise it will get too boring and repetitive to look at
>>268083081I see your point. Imo I wouldn't mind more since Hoshino hasn't made Lenalee appear in forever and these girls are the closest thing to her at the moment.
>>268083454Yeah but they feel more like cheap imitations of her than being unique in their own wayAlthough i don't know who the one on the far right is
>>268083833Like I said, I get your point.The far right girl was from a recent exorcist manga from the Jump. I think it was axed, sadly.
>>268081688Those were members from the Vatican, which supports the Order but is not quite the same. The Great Generals wear an outfit more similar to the one the Exorcists wear.
Rereading this years later, this was such a cool action/horror manga. I wish it could have kept going and finished naturally
>>268085043So what was the rank/affiliation of the guy that was bedridden holding mugen after the alma arc?
>>268086441In the current story he was just the chef of the Asia branch as well as an occassional Innocence blacksmith. In the past he was a high ranking member of the Vatican.
>>268085643The manga is still on-going. Will likely outlive One Piece too.
>>268087597Which is why I said finished naturally. Not the bizarre post hiatus state it's in
>>268044702Now he should understand that killing Suman was a mercy.Gotta love how this whole volume is "gotta save them all" shounen protag mindset is fucking impossible and brings more suffering than salvation.
>>268045785>crystallizationhuuuuuh.... interesting choice of words>>268045837Apo also cares very much.
>>268046850It also kinda foreshadows crystal type being stored in body like parasite type while also forming a weapon like equipment-type
>>268047193Yep, she totally isn't a relic of the old/other world
>>268047829>>268047772Damn, just look at the art difference.
>>268048638TITLE: KINO
>>268048696I liked the guy, had a fun design and cool innocence.>>268051846I mean, it is literally broken ship full of dead people. Like Flying Dutchman kind of thing.
>>268049100I wonder if he got attached to the worms kek
>>268049583>Dark boots got one voteA man of culture
>>268051462Thanks for posting!>>268052805It also turned full after evolving.>>268057282Can't beat the legs, not the lenalegs
>>268074311Dunno, it looks suspiciously like a dead human baby stitched up. 2nd exorcist project?
>>268082342I think that it works extremely well thanks to the irony of her power giving her absolute freedom and at the same time being ultimate chains to BO and unending war. Especially after she takes on even more chains to kill KINOshi
>>268088853>___ also cares very muchPerhaps a bit too much...
>>268090290I kinda understand him tho'....
>>268043106Long hair Lena is so cute when she's crying depressed like this
>>268091318She's always cute in general.
>>268045524He's better like this honestly
>>268091968I like goofy Bak, but I also liked how cool he looked in his intro.
>>268050866Love it when fodder are actually useful
>>268093632Even more when they're more than meatbags and you get to care about them.
>>268041255Thanks op
>>268090157Also most of her attacks are named after shackles, which is pretty fitting for her situation.
>>268091156Yeah. Allen is so precious.
>>268087670Yeah, this is a practically a zombie manga. Still love it tho.
>>268083007Worthy of being worshipped.
>>268055351Kinda tragic.
>>268089585The lone patrician.
>>268084120So it goes.
>>268075956Motto!
>>268099404Latest chapter focused on his predecessor, so we may get an arc about him soon.
>>268089585>>268101742For what is worth other than Mugen and Innocence in general it's the only Innocence in the poll.
>>268083007The Nue chick especifically (third from the left) looks outright inspired by Lenalee.
>>268041255Don't let the flame die out
>>268090062I don't think so, since Komui wasn't involved in that project. I do think the figure next to Kanda in the picture cover of the second volume is supposed to be a hint of his past life.
>>268109894stop bumping the thread when there's no reason to
>>268048895Easily best Lenalee version
>>268107268Oh, that would be nice. I'll keep my hopes up then.
>>268043295Hoshinos art really became dogshit huh, what happened to this SOVLful kino...
>>268112862Take in mind that by "soon" I mean in one or two years.
>>268114451I'll ameliorate my hope...
>>268112165It helped it only appeared in a single fight, which made it more memorable.
>>268114451Maybe more if past Allen flashback ends up being long.
>>268112165Yep.
>>268077389She became too moefied for my taste.
>>268121333Miranda's design change is a great metaphor of how DGM's style changed from a gothic atmosphere to a lore standard artsyle nowadays.
>>268050254SO FUCKING KINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHY DID D GRAY BECOME SO GARBAGE COMPARED TO THIS KINOOOOO
>>268122460You know, tit's a fitting metaphor.
Hugging AllenHand holding with AllenCuddling with AllenEating with AllenSleeping with AllenRubbing AllenBathing with AllenSniffing Allen Becoming one with Allen Consuming Allen's fluid
>>268108044It's the best designed Innocence and not a whore like Crown Clown

I'm going to sleep. If this thread is locked by the time I wake up, see you this saturday.
