Announce in the previous issue that you're skipping the next one.Actually no, but it's just a short bonus chapter.The preview is a single page.It's this.Gotta respect this much trolling, bravo Hoshino.
Bonus content for the magazine is sweet though.

>>275596524Don't worry she is just building up hype for when she starts releasing regularly again.
>>275596524Who's that guy with a hammer?
>>275596548Yeah, i'm pretty sure this was the thought process behind this preview.Also, is Hoshino a richfag? Her new house looks sweet, most mangakas live in a dump.
Cruising in life
>>275596571Lol, lmao even.
I love my wife Allen
Gotta keep the thread up for 5 more hours till the web version of Rise is out.
I bet it's another flashback Lavi, not wormed Lavi
>>275597043We know, Apocryphos.
Imagine if things went how they were originally planned and Allen was a girl
>>275598805There's a possibility that this would get axed. Fujos are a big portion of the fanbase.
>>275596524Cool art
~30 minutes till it's out.I will be shocked if Lavi is actually in there.
>>275600510You will get him surrounded by bugs, Sakura style, for one panel lmao.
>>275602778Nah, we got him as a kid dying from a stray bullet. Nothingburger "chapter" but we weren't supposed to get one in this issue anyway.
Say something nice to her new homehttps://youtu.be/7jpImcqusCI?si=z2FE2n2YTNproSdf
>>275596524First we got Lavi as a baby, then we get him in a flashback. His inevitable return approaches.
>>275604115Damn, drawing 4 chapters a year sure pays well.>>275604233We also got him in a remake.
>>275604697Ah, so it's a retelling of the first time Lavi met Allen.
>>275604779Additional context. Basicaly Lavi always knew that Allen was connected to previous Bookman Jr.
>>275604843I see then. Never realized Lavi knew about the connection.
>>275604115It's cool that she started posting videos outside of insta: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3VnChJgicEI like her colouring style.
Posting the full raw chapter.
>>275607802
>>275607841
>>275607880
>>275607911
>>275607945Last page. It was a short chapter, but better than nothing. Plus we saw Lavi again, even if only in a past event and not the main story.
>>275607802Akshually, it's not a chapter, it's an extra.
>>275608004An extra chapter, whatever.
>D.Gray-Man threadPasta doko?
>>275607841>>275607880Is that Bookman halfway into his grandpa mode?
>>275596524How long has he been in the chair
>>27560930314 years.
>>275607945This shit is unrecognizable from the beginning stages, Allen looks like a completely different character.
>>275609555He looks older(and less girly), but not that different.
>>275609340Crazy to think this manga has went for so long.
>>275609555SOVL>>275607945Kinda soulless sparky bishounen shit.
This again. It was always "bishounen shit", she just couldn't draw pretty males at first, by her own admission in one of the earliest q&a.
>>275610602Not really, the boys were pretty, but the series had a noticeable shonen aesthetic during the days of the Ark arc. Her current art looks like some generic otome shit.
>>275610798>2.22 - 4.6Maybe i should visit this, pick up a lonely 30+ fujo office worker.
>>275610798Seeing Lenalee with her long twintails again makes me so fucking happy, even if it's only in an illustration.
>>275611016My beloved.Shame I can't remember her name without google anymore. Time is too fast.
>>275607974>Plus we saw Lavi again, even if only in a past event and not the main story.he's still not back?
Hoshino took a gigantic shit all over her story and tried to turn it into something it isn't. With four chapters a year this series will NEVER get finished.Oh but thank you Hoshino-sensei for throwing us a bone and letting us see Lavi again. You're ever so kind - Its only been over a goddamn decade since he or the rest of the The Order been shown in the main story. But yes, instead of moving along with the Earl and the Noah or seeing actual interesting characters have been doing - lets just jump into ANOTHER fucking flashback and continue to make Allen's backstory even more convoluted and retarded. Fuck you you stupid bitch.
>>275612198>turn it into something it isn'tEverything that is happening was foreshadowed during the WSJ run. Course of the story hasn't really changed that much since the piano scene.
Also, not changing the course is exactly why it's so slow. Manga is still paced as a weekly series.I don't mind not getting an ending, to be honest. Endings suck.
>>275612198>>275612361Everything was foreshadowed, but Hoshino made things a bit too convoluted. Mana should've been the 14th Noah who tuned against the Clan instead of the Earl himself (I assume it will make sense eventually, but Mana= Earl raises a lot of questions about things based on what we know). On the other hand, Mana being the 14th was a little too obvious.Allen didn't need this convoluted backstory either it feels unnecessary. An argument could be made that Mana=Earl works, but Allen's past is dragging things down.
>>275612187Nah, he's still in the Noah's rape dungeon. This short chapter is just a retelling of the first time he met Allen.
>>275612709what a tease
>>275612198I agree most things after Apocryphos being introduced have been terrible.
>>275612772At this point his return must be close. Hoshino cannot be unveiling the Bookman lore, establish the connection between Allen and Lavi I and then make this chapter and spend another decade without Lavi appearing. It would be a huge troll moment.
>>275612788Search/Farewell is the best arc in the manga.Or second best after invasion.
>>275612788I love Lenalee so much. Even with the short hair she's still a cute.
Current infodump/inbeetween limbo isn't that good though, getting some answers is nice, but i want more schizo.
>>275609555>>275607945With all those sparks you would think this is shojo
>>275613306If you're a woman, it's indeed the best arc.
>>275613306I guess you just completely ignore the neverending Allen/Johnny shilling and completely inconsistent tone throughout the read.
>>275613954>inconsistent toneIt's very consistent in it's portrayal of mental decay.
>>275608509Just for you.>[A LONGGGG TIME AGO]>Noahs and highly possibly "Allen" are survivors from another world that was destroyed by Innocence's God>They isekai'd themselves to the current world to destroy it out of seethe>[7000 YEARS AGO]>3 Days of Darkness battle aka Noah's Great Flood between The ultimate Innocence aka THE HEART user and Noahs>Both sides claimed victory, the world was almost destroyed regardless>THE HEART user left behind a cube containing message toward future humanity about the Earl's returning (that somehow also included information about CIA's effect of drug and shit on prisoners experiment)>Noahs practiced BREEDING and became 2nd humanity so that they will always spawned after death except the head of the clan, the Earl of Millenium, who remained staying alive for 7000 years>[100 YEARS AGO]>The church found the message cube.

Later on Mana became the new Earl of Millenium while Nea was forced to be called the 14th Noah.>The Black Order was still struggling on a hopeless loser side of the new war.
>>275614232>[around 30-35 YEARS AGO]>The Black Order was still struggling on a hopeless loser side of the new war>Mana was on the verge of losing it because Noah memory drives you insane after a while, ended up killing Caterina Eve Campbell as the Earl.>Nea decided best way to save Mana is to kill him and become the Earl instead>Nea met Cross Marian. The two were forced to become allies despite all the FUCK NO EWWW>The Bookman Jr. from that time also joined him for reasons.>Nea met "Allen", who was mortally wounded, and offered to grant him a wish in exchange for becoming his host. > <<NOAH MASSACRE>> Nea murdered 11/14 Noahs, leaving only Road and Mana alive. (yes, he jobbed)>Instead of killing Mana, Nea ended up taking Mana away to hide from the Earl, even though Mana IS THE EARL. It worked until one day and Mana, as the Earl, mortally injured Nea.>Bookman Jr. appeared in front of a dying Nea, saying he would honor his memory so he could do what he failed to. He met Allen later on.>Years later Allen was raped by Apocryphos and turned into a shota, while Bookman jr. sacrificed himself to stop the destruction of his soul, giving Allen his Innocence.>Mana ate Nea, lost his mind completely and literally blew his head out. His appearance changed into that of a middle age man and lost most of his memory aside he had a twin brother called Nea. He then went on travelling to look for Nea.
>>275614275>[10 YEARS AGO]>The Black Order was cornered enough they ended up with a super smart plan called 2nd Exorcist project because what could possibly go wrong. The project failed so bloodily and horribly, they canceled it. Kanda Yu was the only experiment subject survivor>"Allen" ended up losing his memories and got sold to a circus under the name "Red Arm".>Red Arm met Mana. The circus got BTFO by the Earl who was "chasing" after Mana. Mana mistook Red Arm for his doggo and adopted him, calling Red Arm by the doggo's name, which was Allen. Cross started stalking both of them ever since.>[6 YEARS AGO]>The Black Order was still struggling on a hopeless loser side of the new war>Mana mysteriously "died". The Earl then took over completely.>Allen got scammed by the Earl, activated his innocence for the "first" time, "killed" Mana with it. He met Cross and later on became his student
>>275614307>[A YEAR AGO]>Allen officially became the Black Order's Exorcist>He then got revealed to be the 14th Noah's host and was put under suspended execution>Cross was shot by Apocryphos>The Black Order was cornered enough they ended up with a super smart plan called 3rd Exorcist project because what could possibly go wrong.>Noah clan came up with a great keikaku using the 3rd Exorcist project to get Allen willingly came to their side. They half succeeded>APOCRYPHOS RAPED EVERYONE then blamed it on Allen, forcing Allen to become a fugitive who couldn't return to the Black Order nor the Noah clan>Johnny, a member of science team of the Black Order, decided to chase after Allen together with Kanda to help him>APOCRYPHOS RAPED EVERYONE and murdered the series's mascot.>Allen encountered the Earl. Nea woke up. They chat and Nea failed to kill the Earl, FUCKING AGAIN.>Allen regained his control over his body thanks to Cross's suicidal talk and Johnny's bond of nakama power.>Kanda's teacher got Kanda, Allen and Johnny and took them away from the Black Order's searching. Allen tried to run away in extreme panic after learning about how APOCRYPHOS RAPED EVERYONE again and murdered the series's mascot who was his closest friend.
>>275614330>Allen teleported himself and accidentally also Kanda to the place where he met Mana in the circus.>Kanda and Allen regrouped with Tiedoll, Allen info dumped everything he knew at the time.>When Allen woke up as everyone else was still asleep, Nea said hi to Allen from the mirror and told Allen to find the Cambell's mansion.>The group split again with Kanda group returning to the Black order for grave digging and General promotion for more Apocryphos info>Allen group heading to a book store that had the lead to the mansion>There they meet the Zoogles, members of the Bookman clan who ask him to reveal what happened to the former Bookman Jr., who died somewhere after Nea was killed>Allen drinks a poison that will reveal him info about his past self in exchange for his life <<You are here>>
>>275614146Yeah, the mental decay of Hoshino that's it.
>>275614357>When Allen woke up as everyone else was still asleep, Nea said hi to Allen from the mirror and told Allen to find the Cambell's mansion.>The group split again with Kanda group returning to the Black order for grave digging and General promotion for more Apocryphos infoI think this is where I am
>>275614545at least she isn't shilling colored pencils on instagram live anymore.
>>275614755It won't take long for you to catch with the manga, just a few chapters.
>>275614357Blessed
>>275614924Thankfully.
>>275596545>Even Bookman got Fujo'dlol
So the characters are now lanky and look mature just becasue of an artstyle change? I thought quite some time had passed by now in-story and they were in their 20s at this point at least.>>275607945>>275609555But scenes with them barely being teens are getting mirrored and they are being shown as they look nowadays back then?
>>275614357Thank you paste bin anon, I can never remember all of this shit
I genuinely love d. gray-man.Following this shit for over 2 decades has been a ride.I've even come to love the convoluted parts in the later years. It's genuinely fun re-decoding the story every 3 months.
>>275596524wtf happened to this series?
>>275596545Why is Crown Clown suddenly a wedding dress?
>>275619158it's to invite the reader to tear it off and find the garter
>>275618844Things got a little too convoluted after the Edo arc.
>>275615092I know, I'm just a dozen+ chapters behind but I want to read the series from the start to look for the foreshadowing lolwhen is the spring update? I should be done by then I think
>>275616676>I thought quite some time had passed by now in-story and they were in their 20s at this point at least.nah
Another Hoshino vid dropped. I'm enjoying her spinster arc shes in. Reminds me of those CCP funded chinese vlogs with the soothing music but its just her and her mom and many cats. Her place does look very comfy tho I gotta say.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6W6Ai8K66E
>>275622349aaand its gone. Hoshino-sensei are you here?
>>275622399>Hoshino-sensei are you here?sshhhh
