D.Gray... Book?

[haya5h1]

Anybody know what this book is? I saw it in Kino next to the DGM manga.

(sorry for the crappy phone pic)
the title is something like D.Gray Man..."great research study"? (大研究)

I think it is a book about DGM that explains many tihngs and sum it up.
Kinda like a character book, story and so on included.

ooh, OK... but it's not official is it? I don't remember hearing about JUMP releasing such a book.

[Schwindelmagier]

Well, I think it does is official. Someone posted about it in the DGM merchandise thread. You can even order it online in Japan.

If by official, you mean it's sanctioned by Shueisha and Hoshino-sensei, then no. It's not official as it is not published by Shueisha. But, it is a properly published book. ^_^

Kind of like Cliffs Notes for D.Gray-man, I guess? It mostly is a collection of fan speculations and discussions mixed in with every little last drop of fact they can squeeze out of the manga.

There are such guide books for all the popular series in Jump. There is no official art in it at all, and all their illustrations are drawn by themselves.

Ehhh, there are stores in numerous countries around the world... check the website. ^^;;

YesAsia has that in stock, I think - there's another book like it, but older (I mean, it came out a while before this one did). Two fanbooks, maybe?

The one I saw it at? Malaysia.

You could check at the US Kinos, I know there's one in NY and ... uh... California, I think.
