Art DGM Volume Covers Thread

Apocryphos: You always do everything together with MY Allen. Meals with Allen. Baths with Allen. Snacks with Allen. Playing with Allen. Every day without exception, that gaudy, flashy golden body rubs up against Allen. With Allen with Allen with Allen with Allen with Allen with Allen with Allen...

^So apo-chan is really just jealous of all the quality time Tim gets to spend with Allen. wow. So creepy.
Am I weird for thinking this makes the story a lot more interesting?

that gaudy, flashy golden body rubs up against Allen

^did I just read that? o.o

 

[NonExisted]

Here, I managed to translate this short one in between other things I had to do today. Just in case: If anyone wants to typeset (that I haven't given permission to already), please ask first. Other than that, enjoy!

Spoiler: Mascot Conquest

• Kanda's golem, the poor crybaby.
Face looks crafty when asleep.

• Introducing Tiedoll's (chubby) golem

• Damn Catfish that has lately moved on
from being by grandpa's side to various
high-quality pâtisseries and places serving
delicious food. Cursed golem.

• Johnny's scruffy golem, employed for
"Lost Allen Prevention" and other kinds of
assistance that are none of your business.

Apocryphos: You always do everything together with MY Allen. Meals with Allen. Baths with Allen. Snacks with Allen. Playing with Allen. Every day without exception, that gaudy, flashy golden body rubs up against Allen. With Allen with Allen with Allen with Allen with Allen with Allen with Allen...

• Immature Innocence Stalker that seriously intends to kill the mascot character. (Creepy Glasses)

Timcanpy: Can't give in. Gotta fight!

Who will take the mascot character's place?

May I have the permission to use your translation? I promise to keep the credit
Oh, and Apo-chan has stepped on a whole new level beyond creepiness

just to let people know: D.Gray-man Manga Has 20 Million Copies in Circulation: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/new...an-manga-has-20-million-copies-in-circulation


hoping it will come back up soon though >.<

Actually, that is weird. It was already announced on the volume 21 that D.Gray-man has surpassed printing 20,000,000 copies. So, the number should be more higher than this.

 

[kannazuki]

Johnny should definitely make a business called "Lost Allen Prevention". I would soooo kill to see that.
Allen wouldn't be thrilled, but it makes sooo much more sense than having an equipment repair shop at this point.

Hahaha, I can see that. Johnny's "loss prevention" golem service! "Use our golems to keep track of easily-misplaced socks, keys, wallets, Allens..." Except then, I'd fear Apocryphos might use one.

And THAT'S the reason why Apo guy had to do that to poor Tim! The truth has finally come out. Apo is scarier than I thought. I bet he wants to take a bath with Allen and call him "Allen-ko". Poor Allen. Apo is such a stalker. A creepy creepy obsessed stalker... I thought Rouvelier was creepy enough to want to take a bath with Lenalee and Lavi-hiko, but no.... This is worse than I thought.

Hahaha, I think the case with Lvellie was more of him wanting to do bathe with his "family" while acting as a sort of overly-involved "father figure" (not like Sheril acts, but as if he actually saw himself as their dad), while Apo's so much of a creepy stalker already in canon that this bit of humour hardly even feels like a joke. It's like something he'd actually do in the storyline.

^So apo-chan is really just jealous of all the quality time Tim gets to spend with Allen. wow. So creepy.

I think we should take these omake with at least a bit of a grain of salt (they're usually quite crack-ish after all), but yeah, I also it's still interesting to get even "cracked" perspectives on these characters...

^did I just read that? o.o

Yeah, I could hardly believe it but the verb is for "rubbing" or "polishing" something. Maybe "polishes itself against Allen" would be better, but the meaning is the same. *goes to edit*

But Apocryphos already has one, which is called Crown Clown
And Allen in plural form. Oh god *dies from laughing*

 

[Dlanor_A.Knox]

JOHNNY: But Allen's clown act was really good! What is your best trick?

WISELY: Acrobatics, right? He was forced into a cage with a beast once, so it seems he's too scared to do wild-animal-tamer acts nowadays.

I just noticed but doesn't this part happen in "Lost fragment of snow"?

 

[tgirl]

^ Woah, I kind of skimmed this part. But, you're correct that this omake is referencing something that a lot of DGM fans, who did not check out the novels, are going to be super scratching their heads on. ^__________^ Hmmm... Really interesting considering not everything in these latest omakes should be taken seriously, but, seeing Hoshino-sensei kind of "hinting" or "referencing" things that are canon to the story makes me wonder................ (I do hope she does flashback to that part in the manga, in the future. It's really significant to me.)

Hahaha, I think the case with Lvellie was more of him wanting to do bathe with his "family" while acting as a sort of overly-involved "father figure" (not like Sheril acts, but as if he actually saw himself as their dad), while Apo's so much of a creepy stalker already in canon that this bit of humour hardly even feels like a joke. It's like something he'd actually do in the storyline.

Well, they're still both creepy to me! :0 Just the thought of having a "family bath" with Rouvelier makes me super shudder with fear. Even if he's actually on the 14th's side. ...... =,= Rouvelier's expression, in the bath omake, was super freaking me out. Now with the Apo guy being super jealous of Tim, I want to see Apo and Rouvelier take a bath together!! Yesss! It would be a glorious "family" time, INDEED! *music note*

 

[hopeandlight]

So, everybody's doing something about this new volume and I felt the spirit xD I've cleaned the extra cover but i don't think its SO good, hope u like it

credits of the scan: Baniita

why isn't this the real cover... crys
it won't be in the actual volume

 

[NonExisted]

Another comparison. This is from chapter 214.
Credit goes to ティムのしっぽ

Spoiler

Just when I thought there is nothing from chapter 214 needs to be re-draw (the very same to chapter 213), Hoshino just brought up the least expected.

 

[kannazuki]

That post (Nea ≠ 14th post) is really interesting! It sounds ridiculous at first, but it actually makes sense... it's also off-topic for this thread, tho. ^_^;

(I hope you don't mind if I quote your post in a new thread, since this one is supposed to be about volume covers.)

No, I definitely don't mind, especially it's off-topic for this thread.

Anw, there is something. I'm not really sure about it but since volume 22, Hoshino draws illustrations for the thank you-page which somehow has connection to the next volume's plot contains. Does Lavi finally have some hope to make his return soon?

 

[Silverwolf442]

Vol. 24 Poster may be old, but I found it last week, so I thought it was relatively new. If it's been seen 110x already, my mistake

Aww. Allen falls asleep while Cross makes him study.

Odd in many ways.

*As scared as Allen seems of Cross, I wouldn't think he'd ever get tired enough to sleep on him.

*Cross isn't knocking him off, which seems nice. I guess he doesn't mind, though given the period rows, he is speechless Cross, you softie, you do care

*Also Tim is so random, he chews on everything....but guess he's not biting if Allen's still asleep ^_^ Actually, Tim is scary with his mouth open

So... i've been diggin lately, and i've uncovered some rumors, but i don't have any proof. ppl say these days Katsura returned back to work and it appears D gray man vol 24 has already been released in this november, being the third in manga selling ranks just below One piece and Kimi no Todoke... . Here a few images... big images, and i need a translation.

Hoshino-sensei simply says she tried doing a "Discussion Room" which has them chatting for a long time while having treats all the while, and encourages everyone to try reading it. Off to the side, it lists the dates of publication for chapters 213-218 in Jump SQ over Heisei years 24-25.

DGM volumes always sell well when they finally come out.

 

[wargle]

I'm curious, did Hoshino redraw the sketchy panels from chapter 215 for the volume?

 

[lanablack]

Yes she did actually. Actually more like she makes the art cleaner & give it some shade with inking & screentone, but she redraws a lot in that chapter too (but sadly she didn't do anything with Link's weird ear in chapter 217 ...)

 

[NonExisted]

Got the raw.
She did A LOT in chapter 215, for like almost every pages.
Don't know if this relate to plot, but Nea took heavier damage to the left side of his face, which eventually covered entire his left eye.
I'll do the comparison post later. It's 3 AM here...

 

[Niko_kun]

If someone wants the raw its available here!! http://www.raw1st.org/2011/12/dgray-man.html

The redraws look so amazing!! I loved them :')

 

[Zibi234]

I would be more happy if Hoshino finaly said when will she return to draw DGM once again... since its almost 1year hiatus so far ;/ and so far no hear from her side or about her health status

 

[NonExisted]

The first 5 pages of chapter 215
Warning: It's huge.
