2nd Hiatus - reason(?)

[Trinny]

seems like Hoshino is having trouble with plagiarism.

Hoshino Katsura(D.Gray-Man)



That, and she might have to redraw some of the earlier chapters. (most probably those who look like drafts)

I hope it's just that she had to redraw the earlier chapters... Which might mean that she'll get more time to think up chapters as good as the recent ones! Though it's pretty irritating not knowing how long the hiatus will last... ><

Redrawing earlier chapters would be weird. But it's better than having entire series stopped.

Well, I didn't exactly mean redrawing, sorry for confusing (that would have been horrible). I heard she had to, not exactly redraw some of the previous chapters, but she had to improve the quality, like page 6 of chapter 157: D.Gray-Man 157 page 06 | One Manga

She has to do it before they make vol. 18. They did it with one of the chapters in vol. 16 too (don't remember which, but the quality is better in the volume scan then the chapter on One Manga)

[Chiisana]

Oh yeah... I remember that part in the volume. The quality is really better (and it SHOULD be better).

Even if she has to do that. That's no biggy. Still hoping everything to turn out ok.

Slightly peeved about the hiatus... I mean it just got going again! But oh well, these things happen from time to time. And like you guys have said, it will allow time to think up new and even more awesome chapters, so I guess these things can be for the best as well sometimes.
I just hope that the hiatus won't last too long!!!

[moonlight_sonata]

me too, Trin...meh, hiatus.

Here's an article about manga and plagiarism. It's very helpful, and it makes me even more sure that if DGM is being accused of plagiarism, then the accusers is going to loose:

[Orpheus 2]

Yipes! I didn't think that RAVE, Black Cat and Flame of Recca is also subject to plagiarism. In a way, the accusers will definitely lose.
