Happy 20th Anniversary D.Gray-Man!

Here is a project made by fans for the 20th anniversary of D.Gray-Man. It is viewable for free and can't be downloaded and sold in any way. 175 artists, from determined beginners to seasoned pros, signed up to redraw the first volume, illustrate 18 iconic moments, and sketch 73 doodles (presented alongside 36 silly questions) in their own style!

This fanbook has no affiliation with the official DGM in any way. The contributors claim no ownership or right to the DGM work, which is the sole property of Katsura Hoshino and Shūeisha. Each artist is the owner of and responsible for their art. Reposting any of the artwork is strictly forbidden without direct permission from the artist who made it.

Only look at this Zine if you already know DGM! It wouldn't be as interesting otherwise. We hope that our work will prompt new and old readers to take interest into D.Gray-Man. Please buy the manga to support the author!

The Zine

And the password to see it : DGM20thAnniversaryFanProject! You can put it in full mode in the top right corner, the four squares there are also a table of content.

This project is our way to celebrate this manga we love and we hope you readers will enjoy our art as much as we loved making it!

Anyways while racism in the writer's room is definitely a thing and does affect how black characters are written and portrayed, to say "well this character wasn't written well (because of racism) so THAT'S why I find them boring!" is just disingenuous and trying to shove blame elsewhere.

Wyll may have been shafted in terms of writing, but he still clearly had more effort and time put into him than Halsin. And yet out of those two characters, which one is more popular in the fandom?

Dragon Age: Inquisition may bend over backwards to make Vivienne seem like a villain at times, and her opinion on the Circles is a bit complex, but that game also has Cullen in it - who was an antagonist for two previous games, and also has even stricter views on mages and the Circles. And out of the two of them, who's the one people are more forgiving to?

Preston Garvey might have a bugged radiant quest that means he says the same thing over and over and over again, but why is it annoying when he does it and endearing when it's characters in other games? (Brynjolf's "Sorry lass, I've got important things to do" comes to mind)

While yes, we should hold writers and developers accountable for the racism they bake into their games, this does not change that fandom is a transformative space. Fandoms will regularly take characters who were underwritten, who were treated poorly by their source material, or who were overlooked, and create beautiful works of art and fiction surrounding them.

So it's quite telling when they refuse to do this with the black characters.
