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!

Hi, DGM fandom! I’m jeidafei. You may have seen me in Kougeki-scans’ scanlation of D.Gray-Man.
I know Kougeki releases have been delayed for these past few chapters. And people have taken to releasing their own translations on Reddit and MangaDex as early as a few days after the Japanese release. We at Kougeki have asked people to wait if they could. People have told us to, basically, go d*e.
And of course, you are perfectly entitled to say so. You are perfectly entitled to release your own translations and not wait. After all, we at Kougeki are just fans of D.Gray-Man, similar to you. We have zero claim over the series.
I normally stay out of the fray when it comes to quarrels with these ‘snipers’ until now. When I saw the quality of the translations some of these people are putting out.
Japanese is a difficult language. D.Gray-Man is a difficult manga to translate due to its ongoing status, complex nature and plot twists. I have made mistakes myself that others have pointed out. I have my own interpretations that might be different. I readily forgive mistakes I understand are due to the complex Japanese grammar, and the confusing mysteries of the D.Gray characters.
But these are not it. These are just blatant laziness and lack of basic knowledge of even the most recent developments in D.Gray-Man. Or even simple logic. These are the results of people dishing out sub-par work quickly just to get the most exposure possible.
So while we wait for Kougeki’s version, I am going to point out these egregious mistakes. We need transparency so that going forward, you can make your own decisions on whether it is speed or accuracy you are looking for.
Q16: I would like to know if Hoshino-sensei ever felt super hyped while drawing a scene?
Hoshino: Lavi’s “Infinite Flame!! (火加減無し!!)” scene (vol.13)
(T/N: Lavi vs Road battle, below)
Lavi: Whoa! Hoshino just popped outta nowhere!
Allen: Goes to show we’re already screwed in regards to the word count, I guess.
Hoshino: If you know, then watch it!
Reever: She was also pretty hyped during Krory’s “I don’t need no coffin” scene, as well (Vol.11). (T/N: Krory vs Jasdevi battle, but I couldn’t find the panel. Sorry T^T. If anyone found it pls let me know.)
