Title: D.Gray-Man Vol. 23
Series: D.Gray-Man – 23rd volume
Author: Katsura Hoshino
Comments: The story of D.Gray-Man has become messier and messier what with the fourteenth Noah awakening within Allen and then him being branded a traitor by the Order. Most of the volume is spent with Kanda and Johnny searching for Allen, whilst revealing tidbits on the plot. However, you get the feeling that the author is indulging herself and drawing Allen wearing whatever costume she likes because it doesn’t feel like it is relevant to anything. The drawing style also makes it difficult to know what’s going on. The scattering of humor is done well though but the pacing is just too slow to make it feel worthwhile once you’ve finished the volume.
Rating: 6.5/10
