Book Review: D.Gray-Man Vol. 19



Review:  #220
Title:  D.Gray-Man Vol. 19
Series:  D.Gray-Man - 19th volume
Author:  Katsura Hoshino
Read Before:  no
My Comments:  lost its touch.  The first few volumes of the series had chapters that were refreshing, and moving stories, by this volume, it feels like it tries so hard to impress and shock you… that it doesn't quite work.  Same goes with the art, it is become too messy, too many things happening (even when there is no fighting on) and the style feels much darker and cluttered.  Lastly, a truckload of characters are introduced in this volume, too many, in fact, the rest of the Noah appears (bringing it up from five to thirteen), and same goes with characters of the Black Order.  This makes it such that in the last chapters when they appear, you don’t know who the hell they are and what their powers are.  I would have preferred a gradual introduction.  Anyway, a volume that has a quality that’s below par.
Rating:  5.5/10
