Volumes and Chapters

The chapters of the manga series D.Gray-man are written and drawn by Katsura Hoshino and have been serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump by Shueisha since its premiere on May 31, 2004. The series follows the adventures of Allen Walker, an Exorcist who uses the power of a divine weapon called "Innocence", and his comrades in the Black Order as they fight against the Akuma, demons created from human souls by an ancient sorcerer known as the Earl of Millennium, who plans to destroy all of humanity.

Since its premiere, over one hundred chapters have been released in Japan. The series was put on hiatus twice in Japan due to Hoshino falling ill; however, the series continued a few weeks after each incident. In November 2008, Weekly Shōnen Jump announced that Hoshino was again putting the series on hold due to her health; the announcement did not include an expected continuation date.[4] The manga has been adapted into an anime series by TMS Entertainment and Aniplex, premiering on TV Tokyo on October 3, 2006. D.Gray-man has been licensed for an English language release in North America by Viz Media.

The individual chapters are published in tankōbon by Shueisha. The first volume was released on October 9, 2004, and as of September 4, 2008, seventeen volumes have been released. Viz released the first collected volume of the series on February 5, 2008, and as of November 4, 2008, eleven volumes have been released.
