I'm fairly convinced that old message in SQ was a polite way of saying "we're dropping Hoshino, she's too flaky". Half of the haitus could currently be Hoshino needing to land a new slot in another magazine or build up enough content to be regularly present in SQ again.

It actually says in a polite way to "wait patiently until she recovers, which she eventually will" and they beg for understanding.
It says that she'll keep working when she is able to, that she is trying hard with the Miracle Jump One Shot.
So there is no cancellation, there is no kicking her out from SQ, there's nothing.
Just wait until she gets well.

Re: DGM Hang Out Thread - Part 1

DGM's section is still active in JSQ's website. I don't think the series has been "politely" canceled.
Next issue of JSQ will be out exactly on my birthday, so I'll keep my hope for a new chapter (actually, it has been 3 years since the first time I read DGM, and there were no chapter released in August) :^_^

whatever, I'll just dump some Hoshino's sketches for Valvrave

Re: DGM Hang Out Thread - Part 1

If she's doing oneshots and Valvrave characters she can work, just not fast enough to make SQ's deadlines on a regular basis without killing herself over it is what I'm getting at. The idea that at least part of DGM's long absence is SQ wanting a decent backlog of material (made at Hoshino's own pace) to fall back on before putting it back into the magazine isn't that far fetched.

It's a monthly magazine that took the place of Monthly Young Jump.

Next month is highly unlikely. Manga magazines usually anounce the comebacks some issues before they resume, by doing it that way, they get bigger sales from people that buys SQ only for the absent series.

Re: DGM Hang Out Thread - Part 1

Every month the same. I doubt DGM will be just there. They're going to announce it at least a one issue before, don't you think?

Maybe. It's the way to be expected after so much time.
But I didn't see where the announcement for Embalming or Rurouni's return was made. One of the boys posted that it would come back in the next issue without source when it happened. And it did return as he posted.
It could happen in Jump SQ's news section for example.

Re: DGM Hang Out Thread - Part 1

The April issue's famous hiatus notice specifically states there'll be a notice page in the magazine when DGM's return date is decided.

Re: DGM Hang Out Thread - Part 1

Is it true that Hoshino-sensei is looking for another magazine? I read it in another forum and the announcement had no source, so I don't believe it at 90%, and the other 10% I don't want to believe it. It basically says that Hoshino-sensei wants to move to another magazine and since Shueisha owns 50% of the rights of D.gray-man and she owns the other 50% it's like a legal fight for the rights.
So, can someone can tell me if is true? I have understood that the JQ web site still have the section of D.gray-man but honestly, in the case of D.gray-man I can almost believe anything.

Thank you and sorry for my bad english.

There are possibilities for DGM to move to other magazines that belong to Shueisha (like Miracle Jump for example). Hoshino did comment on how hard it was to keep DGM in shounen gerne when it has been closer and closer to seinen.

No, not really. It's reflective of SQ - it's aimed at an older audience, and is a bit darker and more mature than most series you'll see in WSJ. That doesn't mean it's seinen though. That's more of a question of demographic than subject matter.

Txapeldun · Jul 31, 2013

Re: DGM Hang Out Thread - Part 1

I don't think DGM will be moving to other Shueisha publication. The announcement was legit. It's on hiatus. I know it may be hard, but making all this catastrophism will take us nowhere.

No, I know what you're talking about and that message has no source and frankly no credibility either. I don't know why some people were so quick to believe a fishy Facebook-based comment that originally appeared on chapter 218 on Mangahere of all places, but its writer can't even get the name of DGM's publisher (or the magazine it appears in, which the person repeatedly mistakes for the publisher) correct; and appears to be an American music school student, yet claims to be aiming to become a mangaka? Why would a wannabe mangaka/music school student be privy to information no official source has?

If you want to know if DGM is still current with Jump SQ magazine, check Shueisha's Jump SQ mag website serialization (連載陣) pages:
• current entire magazine line-up - series that have ended/been cancelled do not appear in this list but DGM is there!
• DGM's intro page - lists publication in Jump SQ and Jump SQ.19 at bottom

Re: DGM Hang Out Thread - Part 1

Question: What happened to Allen's scar? It was inked until Cross told Allen he was the Nea's host and since then Hoshino have never inked it again beside the flashback in chapter 206 and seems to get bigger as time goes by . Is that symbolism? (I read it somewhere that Hoshino said the scar connected to Allen's inner unstable state but I can't remember where)

kannazuki · Aug 9, 2013

Re: DGM Hang Out Thread - Part 1

Yes, I've seen that quote too. Allen's scar morphs with the stability of his inner emotions, so the more intricate or "different" it looks, the more emotionally unstable he apparently is. Remember when he was controlling the Ark for the first time, not sure if he'd ever see all his nakama again? While all alone in the piano room, the forms his scar took were really something else.
