Untuk membuat senjata mekanisnya yang dikenal sebagai 'Akuma,' dia menggunakan jiwa orang mati yang dipanggil kembali. Begitu jiwa ditempatkan di Akuma, itu terjebak selamanya, dan satu-satunya cara untuk menyelamatkan mereka adalah dengan mengusirnya dari kapal mereka dengan menggunakan senjata Anti-Akuma, 'Innocence.'

Setelah menghabiskan tiga tahun sebagai murid General Cross, Allen Walker dikirim ke Ordo Hitam - sebuah organisasi yang terdiri dari mereka yang bersedia melawan Akuma dan Milenium Earl - untuk menjadi seorang Eksorsis resmi. Dengan lengan sebagai kepolosan dan matanya yang terkutuk yang dapat melihat jiwa-jiwa yang menderita di dalam Akuma, terserah pada Allen dan rekan-rekan Exorcists untuk menghentikan plot akhir Milenium: satu yang dapat menyebabkan kehancuran dunia.

D.Gray-man (Japanese: ディー・グレイマンHepburn: Dī Gureiman) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Katsura Hoshino. Set in the 19th century, it tells the story of a young Allen Walker, who joins an organization of exorcists named the Black Order. They use an ancient substance, Innocence, to combat a man known as the Millennium Earl and his demonic army of Akuma who intend to destroy humanity. Many characters are adapted from Hoshino's previous works and drafts, such as Zone. The series is noted for its dark narrative; Hoshino once rewrote a scene she thought too violent for her young readers.

The manga began serialization in 2004 in the Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine, published by Shueisha. Production of the series was suspended several times because of Hoshino's health problems. D.Gray-man made the transition from a weekly to a monthly series in November 2009, when it began serialization in Jump Square. On December 29, 2012, the series went on indefinite hiatus. It resumed serialization on July 17, 2015 after the release of Jump SQ.Crown, a spin-off from the magazine Jump SQ. The manga's chapters have been collected in twenty-six tankōbon volumes. By May 2, 2017, Viz Media had released 25 volumes in the United States.

A spin-off novel series, D.Gray-man Reverse by Kaya Kizaki, explores the history of a number of characters. The manga has been adapted into a 103-episode anime series by TMS Entertainment which aired from October 2006 to September 2008 in Japan and is licensed by Funimation in North America. A 13-episode anime series, D.Gray-Man Hallow, was produced by TMS Entertainment. It aired in Japan from July to September 2016 as a sequel to the first D.Gray-man anime series. Several items of merchandise have been produced, including two video games about the series.

The manga has become one of Shueisha's bestsellers, with over 24 million copies sold. In Japan and North America, several individual volumes have appeared in weekly top-ten lists of bestselling manga. Although most reviewers found it similar to other shōnen manga, they compared its moments of originality and well-developed characters favorably to other series of the same demographic. Hoshino's artwork has received mostly positive reviews; most critics have commented that her characters are visually appealing and that the gothic elements in her art are pleasant to look at. However one critic of her artwork has said that Hoshino's fight sequences can be difficult to follow.

Synopsis[edit]

Setting[edit]

Set in an alternate 19th century, the story focuses on an organization of exorcists, named the Black Order, as they defend humanity against the Noah Family, reincarnations of Noah and his twelve apostles whom bear hatred towards humanity and God led by a man known as the Millennium Earl. The exorcists' main weapon against the Noah Family are sentient holy artifacts called Innocence. Innocence comes in a variety of forms, varying from everyday objects such as boots to grandfather clocks, to weapons such as swords and guns; regardless of their form, each Innocence possesses unique offensive and supportive abilities and will only work for the wielder of their choosing. Out of the 109 Innocence hidden and scattered throughout the world, one of them is the master Innocence; whichever side obtains this Innocence first will win the war. In contrast to the Innocence, the Noah Family's weapons are derived from a power source known as Dark Matter. Dark Matter, grants the Noah superpowers, along with the ability to create and control demons.

Plot[edit]

The central character is Allen Walker, a new recruit to the Black Order who started training to control his Innocence after it destroyed the Akuma of his late guardian, Mana. The story begins in a villain of the week fashion, where Allen teams up with various members of the Black Order to search for Innocence while battling Noah's demons on the way. Later, Allen and his friends are ordered to track down exorcist General Cross Marian, Allen's missing teacher. Their search concludes with them stealing one of the Noah's transportation device, referred to as the Noah's Ark; this was made possible since Allen has been instilled the consciousness of Nea D. Campbell, the exiled 14th member of the Noah Family who the Earl wishes to have back. During the Third Exorcists insurrection story arc, Nea's consciousness begins superseding Allen's body. Now hunted by the Black Order, the Noah Family, and a humanoid Innocence called Apocryphos, Allen goes into hiding as he searches for a way to end Nea's resurrection.

Production[edit]

A draft of D.Gray-man was sent to Shueisha by manga author Katsura Hoshino on a non-specified date. She had mixed feelings about writing the series, since she had been offered other jobs (such as developing video games). However, Shueisha liked the draft and the staff asked Hoshino to go ahead with the series in 2004 believing it would be popular. She had originally intended to write a story about zombies, but was discouraged by her editor T-shi and decided to abandon the idea during the third chapter. Asked about her inspiration for writing about the supernatural, Hoshino said that she feared the supernatural after seeing the 1973 film, The Exorcist. Although the horror film frightened her, it also inspired the author to design the manga's Akuma.^[5]

The area in the series known as Noah's Ark was based on science fiction ideas rather than the supernatural ideas that had influenced the Akuma. After conceiving of the Ark's role in the series, Hoshino decided to write a song when Allen is rebuilding it through a piano. She requested help from her editor, a university graduate, but decided to use her own lyrics. She blamed it on her own ego.^[5]

Elements of D.Gray-man first appeared in Hoshino's one-shot title, Zone, in which the Akuma, the exorcists, and the Millennium Earl plan to end the world. Although Allen Walker is male, his character is based on Zone's female protagonist.^[4]Lavi is based on the protagonist of Hoshino's planned series, Book-man, that she originally wanted to write.^[6] Other characters, such as the Millennium Earl, Lenalee Lee, and Komui Lee, are based on real people whom Hoshino has not specifically identified; some are well-known scientists, and Komui is based on Hoshino's boss.^[7][8][9] The character of Yu Kanda, based on a samurai, was created to vary D.Gray-man's Western setting.^[10] Hoshino found the design of some of the characters difficult early in the series.^[11][12] In 2011, the author visited New York City for research, and believed that the city had greatly influenced her work. Hoshino visited cemeteries, and was deeply impressed by her guides' comments at Ground Zero of the World Trade Center (left after the September 11 attacks). She said that she would like to spend more time in New York City to gather data for the series.^[13]

After beginning D.Gray-man, Hoshino considered continuing to use the name Zone and also contemplated naming the series Dolls or Black Noah. She chose 'D.Gray-man' for its several meanings, most referring to the state of Allen and the other main characters.^[14] Although the title's meaning was not completely explained, Hoshino said that the 'D' stands for 'dear'.^[15] According to the author, she got most of her ideas for the series while sleeping in her bathtub for six hours.^[16] One exception was the second-volume plot, based on a Noh story entitled 'Koi no Omoni'.^[17]

When the manga moved from weekly to monthly serialization in 2009, Hoshino heard concerns from readers about its possible cancellation and reassured them that the series would continue.^[18] She set up Kanda's backstory by introducing the Third Exorcists, characters related to him and Alma Karma. In Hoshino's original drafts, Kanda's past had a number of plot holes. A rewritten, published version had a young Kanda walking along a path surrounded by dead people who had cared for him. Due to its violence, the image was replaced with one in which Kanda learns that Alma Karma had killed them all. When the chapters were collected into a volume, Hoshino added a small chapter which included the corpses.^[13]

When drawing the series, Hoshino entrusts her storyboards to her editor, which was initially complicated to her due to D.Gray-man being her first series. She faced difficulties with the initial weekly serialization of the manga resulted in multiple changes due to the how the storyboards changed across this period. Following Hoshino's change to a three-mestral serialization, she uses digital from the storyboard stage. In bringing this style, she looked after manga author Tite Kubo, famous for writing Bleach, who uses a similar style. This allowed her to add more details to her illustrations and made the faces of her characters more unique.^[19]

The author noted that the character of Lavi was popular with fans, placing third in a poll (behind Allen and Kanda) despite infrequent appearances in later story arcs, and she promised that Lavi would return. The story arc involving Alma Karma, featuring several characters, was difficult for the author; as a result, the next arc in which Allen leaves the Black Order contained fewer characters per chapter due to its different format. The character of Apocryphos was introduced to hint at the Heart, a plot element briefly described in a past storyline which would later reappear.^[13] Due to Jump Square's (the manga's magazine at the time) readership—older men, rather than children—Hoshino found Allen the most difficult character to write. She does not want Allen's problems in recent story arcs to lead to portraying him as a troubled teenager, preferring to show him as a cheerful person with a balance of strength and sorrow.^[20] After D.Gray-man's dark narrative, Hoshino plans to write more lighthearted series in the future.^[13]

Themes[edit]

According to Hoshino, the series' main theme focuses on tragedy.^[13] Many characters such as Allen across the series suffer poor fates such as losing a loved one and being tempted to revive them by the Earl. Although this works, the people are revived as Akuma who consume the skin of their loved ones. This has led to her to state that an initial theme is that people should not be brought back to life.^[21] Although some characters like Kanda express unconditional love to Alma, their happiness is short-lived due to Alma dying shortly after this with another writer finding fitting for the series' dark narrative.^[22] Additionally, Allen's life becomes sadder across the series as he is forced to abandon the Black Order due to the Pope removing his rights as an exorcist and he is treated as Noah due to his connections with these characters. Nevertheless, Hoshino still tried to make it fun for the readers, stating that Allen will always have allies.^[13]

Another common theme of the series is the lack of black and white morality. Although Allen initially starts as a hero in the Black Order, their group are revealed to have created actions that might question the readers' thoughts in regards to whether or not the Order is good. Additionally, the Noah clan starts showing hidden depths despite their evil nature with the antagonistic Earl showing his care for the Noah Nea D. Campbell while Tyki Mikk questions Allen about whether or not the Exorcist should return to his 'home' due the way hew has been treated as a result of being the Nea's vessel.^[23][24]

In the book Representing Multiculturalism in Comics and Graphic Novels Carolene Ayaka states another theme set in the series is identity. This is reflected in Allen and the exorcists familiarizing themselves with their own supernatural powers in order to become more humanize themselves. On the other hand, Allen's revelation that he is the 14th Noah which makes him less human.^[25] Another theme is grief, as seen in the Millennium Earl's appearance as a tired, middle-aged man who is constantly searching for a former comrade, Nea. Hoshino believes that the Millennium Earl, the series' main antagonist, would fit the manga's demographic.^[26] In the book Anime and Philosophy: Wide Eyed Wonder Josef Steiff and Tristan D. Tamplin discuss how D.Gray-man, alongside Spriggan and Ulysses 31, focus on the 'end of the world' with D.Gray-man and Spriggan taking references from the blibical flood.^[27]

Adaptation[edit]

During production of the first anime adaptation, the author often visited the TMS Entertainment studio, where the voice actors requested advice about their characters. Although Hoshino was nervous about talking with them, she was surprised by their dedication in practising their characters—particularly Sanae Kobayashi (Allen), Takahiro Sakurai (Kanda), Katsuyuki Konishi (Komui), and Hiroki Tōchi (Cross Marian)—and joked that Lenalee seemed more beautiful after she saw Shizuka Itō's work. Early in production, Hoshino was shown an early version of the first opening theme: 'Innocent Sorrow' by the Japanese rock bandAbingdon Boys School. When she saw the video, Hoshino began to cry in delight while the staff laughed to her.^[29]Tyki Mikk's voice actor, Toshiyuki Morikawa, remembered the recording sessions for the series as 'lively' because of the presence of many popular actors. After the anime finished, the actors (who became friends during production) kept in touch.^[28]

The anime's sequel was subtitledHallow, referring to Halloween; the holiday celebrates the 'revival of the dead', and TMS Entertainment celebrated the 'revival of the D.Gray-man anime series'.^[15] Although it is a sequel, Hoshino called it a completely new D.Gray-man anime and thanked fans for following it. The original Japanese actors were replaced, with Ayumu Murase voicing Allen and Shinnosuke Tachibana voicing Howard Link;^[30] both anime adaptations retained most of Funimation's English-language cast.^[31] In the English version, Allen was voiced by Todd Haberkorn, who said that voicing the character was a career highlight.^[32]

However, following the 9th compilation of the series, Hoshino changed her mind and instead decided to try different types of covers that feature multiple characters.^[44]

At the 2005 San Diego Comic-Con International, D.Gray-man was licensed for English-language publication in North America by Viz Media.^[45] The company published the first collected volume of the series on May 2, 2006 and the 24th volume on August 5, 2014.^[46][47] The twenty-fifth volume was released on May 2, 2017.^[48] Viz Media reissued the series in a 3-in-1 format, publishing eight 3-volumes-in-1 editions from July 2, 2013 to November 3, 2015.^[49][50]Madman Entertainment published Viz's 24-volume English edition in Australia and New Zealand,^[51] from August 10, 2008 to September 10, 2014.^[52][53]

Critical reception[edit]

Manga[edit]

Reception of the series has been generally positive. In his review of volume one, Carlo Santos of Anime News Network said that certain plot points 'come out of nowhere' and the story was kept from its full potential due to finding some points like the designs generic. However, he enjoyed the series' quick-moving plot, exposition, and backstory.^[137] Sheena McNeil from Sequentialtart called it the best manga from 2006 based on its story and cast.^[138] A.E. Sparrow of IGN also reviewed the first volume, comparing the series' antagonist to three of Batman's villains due to his likeability despite his role. Sparrow also enjoyed Allen's characterization based on his tragic backstory.^[139] Calling the early volumes an 'amateur comic', reviewer Leroy Douresseaux of Coolstreak Cartoons noted that the plot and art improved significantly with each volume,^[140] whereas Otaku USA was amazed by the amount of different element such as horror, scifi, fantasy, among others to the point of making it an atypical manga from its genre.^[141] Ross Liversidge of the UK Anime Network enjoyed the first three volumes; Hoshino had 'an excellent quality of storytelling' in juggling dark plot, light comedy and appealing characters.^[142] According to Brian Henson of Mania Beyond Entertainment, the series became better over time; although some elements seemed derivative, it developed a unique identity.^[143] Yussif Osman of Japanator said that the characters were some of the deepest seen in shōnen manga, citing Lavi's backstory and the Noah Family.^[144]

Later volumes were also praised; Otaku USA's Joseph Luster appreciated the series' battles and Allen's development.^[145] The revelation that Allen would be an enemy of the Order and the 14th Noah was well received by Grant Goodman of Pop Culture Shock and Chris Beveridge of the Fandom Post. However, Goodman criticized early-volume reliance on comedy rather than plot.^[146][147] Beveridge and Erkael of Manga News were impressed with Kanda's dark past.^[147][148] Douresseaux liked Allen's situation in volume 21 (due to the character's connections with the Noah), and wanted to see more of that and less of Kanda's fight with Alma Karma.^[149] Chris Kirby of the Fandom Post felt the constant mysteries across the series were entertaining, but lamented the continuous hiatus Hoshino had to take, leaving multiple fans disappointed in regards to future story events.^[150]

Hoshino's art received mixed reviews. According to Casey Brienza of ANN, as of volume twelve, the battles were 'practically unintelligible' yet liked the rest of the artwork. She described Hoshino's drawing style as the 'aesthetic yet dynamic, superbly beautiful yet super-violent' style made famous by female manga artists arising from the late-1980s and early-1990s dōjinshi subculture, citing Clamp and Yun Kōga as examples. Brienza also talked about Hoshino's character designs, believing fans of both sexes would find them appealing.^[151] Douresseaux called Hoshino's art 'highly stylish' and reminiscent of work by Joe Madureira, Kelley Jones, and Chris Bachalo.^[152][153] Describing her backgrounds as eerie and Lovecraftian, Douresseaux wrote that Hoshino made appealing scenes that combined both gothic and violent elements.^[152][153] Brian Henson criticized changes made to the Viz Media version, such as the replacement of Japanese sound effects with less-appealing ones and awkward translations of character names.^[143]

Anime[edit]

According to Funimation Entertainment president and CEO Gen Fukunaga, the anime series was popular in Japan and the United States.^[62] Carl Kimlinger of Anime News Network reviewed the first episode, calling it derivative with 'absolutely nothing original' but not boring.^[154] Noting that Allen's use of the anti-Akuma weapon might seem clichéd, Todd Douglass Jr. of DVD Talk found its use in the anime entertaining.^[155] Active Anime's Sandra Scholes and UK Anime Network's Kevin Leathers enjoyed the anime series and, similarly to Douglass, found its small borrowings from other series appealing. Both reviewers praised Allen Walker's characterization.^[156][157]Anime Insider's Kimberly Morales said that the series' animation quality varied and although the story was appealing, voice actor Travis Willingham was miscast as Kanda. However, Morales liked the series and its cast overall.^[158] Tom Tonhat of Escapist praised the cast due to how it inspired multiple cosplaying and noted the impact of the Earl's characterization as it involved about how the dead cannot be brought back to life.^[21]

UK Anime's Kevin Leathers criticized its lack of entertaining story arcs,^[159] and Anime News Network's Casey Brienza called the anime a poor adaptation of the manga.^[160] On the other hand, Neo enjoyed the direction of the episodes even though some are called 'filler' based on how they allow to focus on the large cast.^[161] Allen's English-language voice actor, Todd Haberkorn, said that anime sales were poor despite generally-positive reviews; he suggested that fans buy DVDs on sale to keep the series from being cancelled.^[162]

The anime's sequel, D.Gray-man Hallow, was one of the most-anticipated anime series of summer 2016 by followers of Anime News Network and the Japanese web portalgoo.^[163][164] Since he had not watched the original anime for some time, Alex Osborn of IGN appreciated the brief exposition in the sequel's first episode to remind the audience of the plot. Although he enjoyed the interaction among the main cast, Osborn was confused by the revelation that Allen would become the 14th Noah and had to watch the scene again in order to understand it.^[165] In a later review, Osborn said he was amazed by Allen's first possession by the 14th Noah; although it was 'disturbing', it enhanced the character's development.^[166] Anne Laurenroth remarked Kanda's character development in Hallow, particularly his fight against Alma Karma and his return to the Order in the finale.^[167][168] Laurenroth noted Hallow's poor animation and pacing but, although most of its episodes were grim, its final moments were upbeat.^[168] Manga Tokyo appreciated the black and white morality of the story when Allen is imprisoned by the Order he was working for and has to rely on the Millennium Earl's comrades in order to survive. However, the reviewer felt that viewers needed more information than what the story was able to provide.^[169][170]
