This is my favorite manga in the whole wide world! I love others, sure, but this is the most magnificent manga I have ever laid eyes on and no other American or Japanese graphic novel compares; it's even a favorite up there with , and . Makes me go all
While the past few installments were pretty to look at, this volume is downright gorgeous; I'd use a stronger word if I could think of one. I can't, though, so I'll reiterate: gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!!!
The feels are overwhelming; no manga has affected me so much emotionally. I can't recommend this series enough.
If I could give this more than a 5/5 stars I would. I wanna write and say this as this turning point of the story, the reveals of everything we had been more or less waiting for a while for, like I cried, I was shocked, I’m- this was a great volume. My favorite volume so far.
"La espiral de la vida. El poder que posibilita la vida. El poder de esperanza y catástrofe que fomenta la evolución. Dentro de esa espiral, lo que tiene la energía más poderosa es el alma humana."
[Some spoilers] There are so many plot points introduced in this volume that they all kind of get mixed up, and it’s confusing. The story has drifted so far from the original plot that I’m not really sure where it’s going anymore.
It wasn’t *all* bad, of course, but the majority of the volume is taken up by Mana and Nea talking and threatening to destroy each other(?) so most of the good parts are overshadowed by that huge exposition dump. Though last few volumes have had AMAZING art and pretty much everyone (especially Allen, Kanda, and the rest of the main characters) looks absolutely gorgeous.

m&c! membuat panik dengan menulis D.Gray-Man 25 - tamat.
Hah. Kalian yang bener aja.
DGM ini fandom besar yang terlalu terlambat diambil lisensinya oleh m&c!
Hype udah gak ada, fans setia juga tidak sebiji dua biji. Rugi bandar jual ini di Indonesia bisa-bisa :'(
Tapi aku ya gak akan sanggup sih beli versi Tokyo Pop. lol.
dan karena dibuat panik dengan embel-embel tamat, aku langsung baca volume 25 ini, dan wooii kebingungan 10 tahun semakin besar. Rasanya aku terakhir baca DGM itu ketika SMA dan itu sudah ratusan ribu tahun yang lalu, lol.
Tau deh kapan-kapan bakal aku baca ulang dari awal DGM ini.
Such a beautiful reunion. Such a jaw-dropping revelation which changed everything yet raised more questions.
Allen Walker is still determined to carry on, no matter how doomed he might be. Howard Link has been seriously holding back. The Millennium Earl has secrets. Does he ever have secrets. I knew he was more complex than he let on, but I was still stunned by the emotional baggage he carries. More of it may be revealed as Allen takes his most precarious and dangerous journey yet into the heart of those secrets.
The series has been evolving lately in the quality of the artwork and the complexity of the story. I’m enjoying it more and more.
It has been a while since I read volume 24, so it took some time to remember what was going on. Yet, the manga is great as ever. The art is absolutely beautiful and the structure makes it super easy to read. It's almost like following a movie scene by scene. Seems like Allen is gone for a while though, it's odd to see the fourteenth walk around in Allen's body, I keep thinking he might be back, but it's just Nea pretending to be Allen. We get more information about Nea's, and the Earl's, backstory, and what they really are. I'm looking forward to the next volume.

Only 4 chapters, but dang what chapters they were. I knew the first one, but the revelation was just so good, it answered (and opened up) so many questions. And it says so much about the messed up character of the Earl. URG. I'm honestly not sure if the Earl is mentally ill, or mentally ill and not really Mana. The line is so unclear. If Neah was consumed, how is Neah still around. Ahhhh, I wanna know.
This had a very good plot twist and was absolutely shocking in it's revelation regardless of how dialogue heavy it was. Yet it was filled with tension with every word with twist after twist. Yet I loved how everything was executed especially the decisions the characters made throughout the whole volume.
The plot is very exciting. I really want to know more about the Holy War, the Millennium Earl, about Mana and Nea why did the one betrayed the other and most of all Allen. Who really is Allen? Why does Nea know him? Is he the one who have the Heart perhaps? So many questions needed to be answered. I'm dying to know everything.
Not fighting all the time is really moving the story along and I am living for it. So the Earl is Mana and Cross was murdered to get to the one thing which could kill Timcampy. All the weird details are coming together at last.
Encore une fois, un magnifique volume. Je n'ai pas lu les tomes précédents depuis un moment donc j'étais un peu perdue mais j'adore toujours autant les graphismes, l'aesthetic et la "mythologie" chrétienne utilisée. Pas mal de questions sur la suite...
