Convince me to read this manga!
Give me arguments! please(*^‿^*)

It has very good art, and you can see the evolution of it throughout the manga. There is quite a lot of juxtaposition between the handsome characters and the ugly Akuma. It's quite detailed. The visual appeal of DGM is quite good, especially since I said, the evolution of the art is great, and you can bare witness to it by yourself. Pretty sure if you compared it from the start up until now you'd be convinced it's a different artist lol. The designs are top notch and mostly unique.

The story is complex and mysterious. It is quite appealing and lures you in as well. It touches on many topics, and it's tied to religion, so if you're into that it's your cup of tea. It starts of as the typical good vs evil thing, but quickly it evolves into a much greater and deeper story, that's quite compelling and makes you wonder. The powers are diverse and interesting. It hooks you in pretty fast and leaves you wanting more.

The characters are amazing. Especially the main cast and the villains. Their development is extraordinary and they are not static at all and are all much deeper than previously thought. A great example of my previous statement is Kanda. He starts off as the typical cool guy character but you'll quickly see that's not all there is to him. The MC, Allen Walker, is an amazing character, and this is coming from someone who does not enjoy like 90 percent of the main characters. The female MC, Lenalee is also one of the best female mcs out there. The character writing and development of all of them is quite good. I won't touch much on the villains so as to not spoil you. But I can say that they are quite enjoyable and at times even more likeable than the main characters. Overall, a great cast. And quite relatable.


The manga can evoke multiple emotions quite well. It makes you feel sad for the characters, happy for them, relate to them, cheer for them, see their point of views and understand even if you disagree. It has a nice balance of all things, humour, mystery, tragedy, comedy, etc.



I tried to keep it short and spoiler free.​

let me add one thing
The story is so good that we never talk about power lvls

I should too. That's a nice idea.

Yeah that's absolutely true. I've never seen anyone bring up that at all.

I just want the appreciate to bond of Allen and Kanda. They did not only grew as individuals but their relationship also grew beautifully.
This is how you write a "friendly" rivalry.
They feel like actual people with understandable feelings

They started as typical Shonen rivals

but the Alma arc changed Kanda's view on Allen and he became self reflective
The moment were he calls Allen by his name is beautiful and the built up to this point was top tier. It didn’t feel forced

This is why Kanda's fake death was not a bad thing (this how you do it Oda).
Kanda's return had a reason and the motivation behind it was beautiful.
Kanda's guilt opened a new side of him and it’s logical that can’t rest peacefully until he helped Allen.

The essence of their relationship hasn’t changed but more layers were added. This is top tier writing for me.

Just noticed how the pentacle on Allen's forehead is the same as the one on the newest volume.

Spoiler

It's like a cycle.

Soo I used to read this but then it went to every 4 months and I kinda just paused. Is it worth going back? Are there actual answers yet? I think I paused around the manor flashbacks.

I don’t know where you exactly stopped but we got some answers and some more questions
I don’t know if you know about a certain insane plot twist

I stopped after Allen was on the run and Kanda caught up to him then Mr.sentient innocence hunted them down and it gave Allen/Red's past and showed Mana going crazy in I think a bathroom and Allen was told to go to the manor of the twins for the answers he wanted.

We got some big answers and some questions
So the typical manga thing
I would recommend you to catch up

The art evolution is crazy.

The art evolution is crazy.

It’s amazing

 

[Light D Lamperouge]

Anyhow the chapter was amazing. Too short but I am glad we're getting something at least. Really hope Hoshino can tell the story she wants fully cuz it's absolutely amazing and seeing the direction it's going it's gonna be even better.

Mana is just a top tier character for me
I really liked this flashback and I think we’ll finally move on in the next chapter
But it would be interesting to see how Mana "died"
There’s a huge mystery behind it

Yeah there is a ton of mystery behind it. Would be nice to find out but it might be too soon I guess.

How did I miss this thread? Add me to the tags, please.

So the flashback is either over or we’ll get another another chapter and see how Mana "died"
or it’ll be revealed it mansion

Yeah, and funny thing that Road is still watching...which is interesting, and now we know that even Earl probably know less than this girl.
