Jumputi Series #19: D-Gray Man

A manga written and illustrated by Katsura Hoshino.

Synopsis: The story of a young man named Allen Walker who joins an organization of exorcists known as The Black Order. They search for and use an ancient substance known as Innocence to battle demons of the Noah Family.

Characters:

Allen Walker - A young man who became an exorcist of the Black Order following years of training by Cross Marian. He was adopted by Mana Walker at the age of seven, who would die three years later. Following Mana's death, Allen turned him into an Akuma. Mana would curse Allen by slicing his left eye, giving him an ability to detect disguised Akuma. At this moment Allen's left-arm would also awaken as an Anti-Akuma weapon.

Yu Kanda - An exorcist of the Black Order, he uses a samurai sword with Innocence sealed within it to hunt Akuma. Kanda tends to be a lone wolf who doesn't really communicate well with many others.

Lenalee Lee - A young woman who was taken from her brother at a young age. After many failed attempts to escape a forced stay at the Order, Lenalee had a mental breakdown from stress and had to be kept restrained. Not long after, her brother joins the Order and helps her to think of it as her family.

Cross Marian - Is an exorcist and General of the Black Order who trained Allen to be an exorcist. He is notorious for disappearing for long periods of time. a man who loves to gamble and drink. When he gambles, he makes extravagant bets and, if he loses, he never pays, leaving Allen or someone else to do so. He loves very few things: women, wine, money and beautiful things.

Lavi -An Exorcist and member of the European Branch of the Black Order, He is one of only a few people to refer to Kanda by his first name, though often nearly gets killed for it.

Arystar Krory III - He is an Exorcist and member of the European Branch of the Black Order. A baron by birth, he spent a large portion of his life hidden in his grandfather's castle, He was lovers with an Akuma whom he eventually had to kill.

Alma Karma - A former Exorcist of the Black Order, a Second Exorcist, and the "First Womb" of the Third Exorcist Program. 

Millenium Earl - He heads the Clan of Noah and has existed for 7,000 years. The Earl tricks people who mourn for their dead friends or relatives into resurrecting them, and turns them into Akuma: weapons which consume human bodies and follow his orders.

This series was in the game at launch.

FOOTNOTES

"Arystar Krory" is Hoshino-sensei's take on the name of infamous English occultist Aleister Crowley, and should probably be pronounced as such. The katakana spelling is アレイスター・クロウリ areisutaa kurouri. I am begging you to read the linked wiki; Crowley was a very colourful character. [ ♠ ]

Mircea Eliade was a writer and religious historian from the same era as Crowley. Please also read this wiki, Eliade's work was fascinating (especially the bits about theophany, encounters with or observable manifestations of God). I would really love to know if Hoshino's actually read any translations of his work; I would not be at all surprised if she has. [ ♠ ]

[cefrlyne]

The love story between Krory and Eliade is the most memorable story in D.Gray-Man anime for me. Somehow I felt that Level 2 Akuma has more stories (and memories) from their human times.

D.Gray-Man Top Ten Favs

10: Arystar Krory III

Though he was I think my second favorite character whilst first getting into the series, I can’t really add him that up; like I still love him but I have other too.

9: Miranda Lotto

She was probs my first favorite female from the series; I mean I liked Lenalee but not as much as I do now. Anyways my German Waifu is mine, and I will protect her to the ends of the earth, I love her character so much.

8: Jadevi aka Jasdero and Devit

I mean they are technically just one person so they both get to be here together! I don’t know what it is about them, their dorky appearances? Attitude or just extreme glow-up; I dunno I liked them way before their new style but I still love em both. (Devit is David in Irish!).

7: Anita

Diss her and I’ll fight you. I love her so much I want her to be higher up but this is as high as I can put he up without toppling my other favs.

6: Daisya Barry

“Ooo I like him, he’s Turkish? Cool! His innocence is pretty cool, I like his relationship with Tiedoll, Kanada and Marie and he’s dead....” Pretty much what happened; I watched the anime way before I ever read it so he had his own episode in which I feel in love with him and boom, dead,I cried. You think I’m kidding but no I cried.

5: Reever Wenham 

Just give him a break for once... please? Otherwise good boy, great boy, cute boy, smart boy! I love him I just want him to be happy!

4: Tokusa

Bet you didn’t see that coming! Tokusa here is my 3rd favorite male and has been even since he was introduced back in the manga. Though when he was finally animated I was so happy but the green hair threw me off but I grew to love it!

3: Lavi Bookman Jr.

My very first favorite character from DGM and still remains in my top 3! I love him so much that if he were to die I’d die on the inside, shrivel up, and cry.

2: Lenalee Lee

Of course Lena is a favorite of mien how could she not be! Though I don’t think it was until her fight with Eshi that I really begun to pay the utmost attention to. Maybe I’ll make a Lenalee appreciation post and point out what makes her truly awesome.

1: Howard Link

Surprise, surprise the hot one is one the top of my list! I can’t remember when he really became a favorite though it defiantly wasn’t until I read the manga that I paid attention to him. Maybe after the level 4 Akuma was defeated and he went to find Allen and carry him to the infirmary.

(This was so hard to put in order)
