Hope you enjoy!

Re: DGM Hang Out Thread

hmmmmmm if I look on the last pic it looks like musican writeing... but in reality its kanji, hiragana and katakana in it xD

it has strange looks becouse all those dots but its in japanese... (lots of kun's and san's there...)

example first bouble contains "koro okaso" later "sonjiou-kun" and more more names.... I suppose its hoshino's thanks to her stuff (assitants maybe) for all the work in this year...

I hope we will get a proper translation from someone ^^

right. so. anyone else notice that the symbols/bracelet/tattoo thing on alma's arm are the SAME that are on Bak's??? O.o'

I get this feeling that either Hoshino doesn't like wisely too much, or he is completely based on her and her uh... stress? lol...

If anyone can translate all the txt on these images, i would be very grateful!!
Btw, the 14th's expression. he is the emo child. officialy. >=)

Yeah, I noticed that too It was both clever and cute, in a way The Code symbols are nice to look at 8'D (the Aesthetic Me is talking) an the clown moon is creepy o_o Reminds me of the Earl, it's probably the evil grin

Much praise of volume 21 ahead:
I must say that after comparing the art of volume 1 and volume 21, it astonishes me how much Hoshino-sensei has improved over the years! I've never seen a mangaka developing as much as she has! The art has become so beautiful and detailed(seriously, when I see the latest chapters in book-form, I've decided that I'll never ever complain again about short chapters again she really puts a LOT of work into every scene, and has even retouched all the 'messy-looking' pages )!
The mangapanels are much more professional *_* and the storytelling has also improved 8D It's much more "Showing, not telling", I like that ^^ Oh God, I'll just encourage everyone to buy DGM in book form, because you really see the difference I'm totally gonna buy volume 21 in English too (in the future), and then I'll cut every single page out of this one and frame them and hang all of them in my livingroom cuz they're all so beauuuutiful

oh, and of course I forgot one:

Spoiler: The Alma one - gray version :)

I would be extremely grateful too if someone could translate these pics!

Do you mind sharing some of the retouched panels? I'm especially interested in Chapters 196 and 197, because the art was a bit wonky in those two chapters.

 

[Niko_kun]

Can anyone tell me the name of the 21 volume?

 

[riki]

It's Little Goodbye according to wiki

Sure! I love making now-and-then-pics (although I really should go to bed now ) 8D

Most of these are just cleaned or 'finished', but it really makes a difference! And some are redrawn too :P But I wonder how much the actual raws are 'messy'(or have thicker lines), because there can be a lot of changes when a chapter is scanlated.. but oh well, enjoy again!

(all the gray ones are the ones from the volume)

Spoiler: Alma vs Kanda, Allen vs Tokusa

Alma's more akuma-ish and the lines are cleaner And Kanda is darker >

Spoiler: Allen

Spoiler: Yes, let Allen hit his head instead! You're too nice to this kid, Hoshino 8D

Spoiler: Allen vs Kanda

Spoiler: Allen vs Kanda 2

I like this! Finally we know for sure Kanda is the one who's talking And we can actually see what happened in this panel x'D

Spoiler: the chapter cover with the infamous Alma-Allen

Spoiler: Kanda's reaction to Kanda stabbing Allen

Spoiler: Noah Allen pushes Kanda away

I don't think Hoshino has changed much here, this is just for the love of... HQ scans?

Spoiler: Everyone else's reactions to Noah Allen. No one really changed much, but...

.. for some reason the Earl suddenly has eyelashes IDK I just found that hilarious, it's such a random addition XD well, he is a fangirl I guess?

Spoiler: Die die die, Kanda! (No comparision)

My scanner kinda failed x'D But the art improvement is still there.. definitely still there :P

I HAVE to go to bed now I could perhaps do more tomorrow

 

[Asclepius]

YAY! Big hugs for Relory.

I loved the "brain damaged face" on Wisely, he is definately a good source of laugh now.
I thought he'd be a source of scary moments at first sight.

Neah looks like a baby-faced boy with evil intentions. A contrast with the warm smile. I hope he has a cruel side.

 

[Niko_kun]

relory, can you scan the whole volume ? like a raw If you can't, thank you anyway

Re: DGM Hang Out Thread

Thank you for the scans relory!

Spoiler: Inner Cover - Allen sitting on Godzillampy xD

Red text on the 'scroll': New record!
Allen: [ Master...I'm kinda scared now..]
Link: It seems it won't be able to fly...

Spoiler: rescan of Allen/link omake-thing - Simply because the cover-art is so amusing! xD

Allen is cute :3

Tim: information
Link: from vol 21 on, the design of the covers will be diferent, it was renewed. Maybe you were startled when you bought it, but it's all right.
This is a volume of D. Gray Man.
Allen: Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!

Spoiler: Wisely

For generations, the Noahs of the Evil Eye, suffer of headaches

Spoiler: Bak and For

For generations, the children of the Chan family, as a symbol of the pact with the seal god, are given a tattoo (seal)
For: What are you blushing for?!
It doesn't look cool at all!

Spoiler: Special Thanks - Guess who it is~<3

And the musician's code symbols too <3

It doesn't say anything apart for Hoshino's "special thanks"

 

[Zibi234]

ehem about the last pic... No it is written in japanese... but you need to drop those dots from your mind ^^

ehh at first try to notice "san" or "kun" at the end ^^ it contains kanji... hiragana and even katakana... it looks like gibberish but the text is well hidden :P

 

[sparviero-92]

I know ^^,
I was meaning that the text in the speech bubbles contained only Hoshino's 'special thanks', nothing too interesting
