[A ramble/ review about D Gray Man (manga/ anime). There may be spoilery images here but at the rate the manga is going, you’ll forget whatever you see here before the next chapter is out.]

D Gray Man is a story with numerous twists and turns, and it does it all with style. At the start, it began with a rather banal tone. Everything about it had a ‘been there; done that’ feel to it, and I suppose when we look at the world of anime/ manga, there really was nothing unique and fresh about D Gray Man.

D Gray Man also earns points for plot. Hoshino Katsura definitely enjoys plot twists and while we get only a hint of this in the original anime (it stopped its run before the juicy bits) and a little more in the sequel Hallow, that hint in itself is excellent. D Gray Man is perhaps the most enthralling story I have ever come across, and like the characterisation of the protagonist, there is always more to it– more twists and more turns, weaving a story that is difficult to turn away from or predict. Each reveal leaves more mysteries in its wake and more questions that need answering, adding to an already brilliant plot. Every time I read the manga, I am stunned by the details that have gone into the story-telling and the perfection of the narrative itself.
