Alright Freeza, I'm a few chapters into Prison School here. It's pretty good, but as I expected, it's not really my thing. BUT, I will say I am enjoying it. It's pretty ridiculous in a good way. Art is good, and I find it hilarious how it borders on what I would consider that horror manga style that series like Attack on Titan use for some panels.
Not really about the series, but the build quality of the book is stellar.
You should pick up the art book, Noche, if you ever get a chance. Absolutely fascinating to look at. I've never taken time to go through an art book before that. Truly beautiful. I love looking at D. Gray-man as much as reading it, but she needs to learn to clean up her sequences. It's primarily her inability to draw hand-to-hand combat that kills it. Which especially sucks when you have characters like Leenalee and Kanda, who are very much close-quarters fighters. That's why pretty much everyone has an energy blast or some sort of projectile.
Yeah I was looking at that artbook. I'll have to pick it up.
I was just flipping through some of the volumes, and I wouldn't say she gets it wrong every time; the fight between Krory and Jasdevi didn't have too much of that. But It's at least persistent enough to notice. I spend a minute or so going over some panels to figure out what just happened.
I've heard the art has gotten better in the new chapter, though I'm not sure how much action was in it. Very excited to finally get to that, but I'm still catching up.
