One of the best stories out there!

What starts off as the usual supernatural story of monsters versus humans, takes a sharper turn that dvelves into religious aspects with biblical references to create a true genius. The story is action-packed but the link to the start of humanity and how the fight came about is created throughout.

The plot is a real treat with simmering tension developing into full fledged revelation of a bigger secret: one that will shake the world of the adorable Allen Walker.

All the charaters in this manga are a masterpiece. 

Kudos to the mangaka for reinventing the wheel and spinning a web of fiction so compellingly.

On the first glance, D.gray-man looks just like your average shounen manga, which made several people turn away, but afterwards this manga turns into something much deeper and more emotional than a regular shonen. The story is a gradation - It starts like meh, but it gets more and more interesting as you read it, and at current time, I´m dying to read the newest chapter which hasn´t come out yet and will be delayed.
The art style starts as outstanding to me. I absolutely loved it to the start of the manga. Unfortunately, recently it decreased, but it´s still more awesome as Naruto´s.
About the characters, this part impressed me the most. The main protagonist characters are bishounen with strong personalities. I even liked Lenalee, because unlike most female characters in shonens, she is quite strong. Many of the secondary characters are pretty, too, for example Tyki Mikk.
And in overall? This anime got an outstanding score from me. Although it may not impress the first-impression-goes people (except for yaoists, bc the bishies keep them at it.) it is perfect for deep-story-seekers like me.

(im going to mention how the story changes up to Searching for allen walker arc// to 219 220 221 WITH MINOR SPOILERS like just mentioning exorcists or changes in story line) D.Gray man isnt your average shonen, it shares qualities similar to a seinen, however that is only in the later chapters. DGM starts out with a 15 year old boy with a deformed arm traveling to get to the order, Meeting Officer Moa and Jan/John on the way and dealing with the incident there. Upon reaching the order Allen Walker officially is allowed to call himself an exorcist. He along with other exorcists investigate mysterious occurances in search objects known as innocence. Innocence can be used to harm things that have its polar opposite (dark matter) such as akuma which are created with dark matter or noah which weild dark matter. On some instances the Exorcists run into other accomodators (those that weild innocence) and in not every case are they able to join them. HOWEVER the manga shifts from searching for innocence and destroying akuma to a WHO HAS THE HEART and accomodators (mainly generals) getting hunted and killed by the noah. This causes a where in the world is cross-sandiego which then leads to another shift in story line. Allen and the gang (kanda, lenalee, lavi, krory, etc) are on the noah's ark (not a boat but basically a city floating in the sky that takes the form of a cube or is invisible) and they have to get off the ark before its destroyed. When that story arc ends allen becomes under suspicion by the higher ups of the order, central/ vatican. The 2006-2008 (i believe?) anime ends around this point (around volume 17 before the phantom thief g arc) however the manga changes with a mission, the north american branch, to then allen no longer at the order and trying to find allen. Lastly 219, 220, and 221 will blow any fans mind.  TRUST ME YOU WANT TO GET TO 221. ITS WORTH THE WAIT.

I'm gonna keep this short and simple because it must be said. This right here. THIS RIGHT FUCKING HERE, is my favorite manga ever! It’s not even completed yet but it’s still the best!

Pure perfection right here. 10/10 !!!!! best manga right here this one takes the cake it beats all other pieces of literature in existence sorry I don't make the rules!
