When people say how much they love the D.Gray-man manga, it's because of volumes like this one. Not those volumes where it's a lot of confusing interpersonal relationship drama and the plot drags across the floor like a wet sack of cement, definitely not because of those. The 23rd volume of Hoshino's series is the kind of volume DGM fans wait for eagerly: there's a great deal of plot stuff, lots of favorite characters rear their heads, and there are at least a handful of twists in the story to keep things interesting.

I like how this book ended, I cannot wait for the next Tankobon to come out. Especially that the mangaka Ms Hoshino don't have the series come out on a weekly basis, so it will be a while before the Viz English edition comes out. I like how there are so many revelations in this arc creating questions to be answered/build up in upcoming chapters.

Finally the exorcists begin to rebel openly against the church! I can't wait for the exorcists to completely do away with the church.

I really love the way Hoshino's artwork has progressed throughout the series. I think I'm in the minority there, but I really think she draws her characters beautifully.
