D.Gray-man (ディー・グレイマン) is a dark fantasy series written and illustrated by Katsura Hoshino (星野桂). The story follows Allen Walker (アレン・ウォーカー), a young exorcist with a cursed eye and an anti-Akuma weaponized arm, as he joins the Black Order to fight against demonic machines known as Akuma—created by the sinister Millennium Earl (千年伯爵). Together with other exorcists, Allen faces deadly battles that test his faith, loyalty, and humanity.
First serialized in 2004, D.Gray-man gained popularity for its gothic art style, emotional storytelling, and complex moral themes. The series has sold over 30 million copies and inspired multiple anime adaptations, including D.Gray-man Hallow in 2016. With its haunting atmosphere and deeply human characters, D.Gray-man stands as one of the most enduring dark fantasy titles in modern shonen manga.
