D.Gray-Man Vol. 5 - Manga Graphic Novel | Supernatural Action Adventure Series | Perfect for Anime Fans & Comic Collectors | Great Gift for Teens & Adults

I was really happy with this volume. It's in great quality as expected from amazon. If you're not familiar with this series, I highly recommend reading it, obviously start with the first novel. If you're not sure at least try reading it online to see if you like it, that's what i did and now I'm buying the series. Both the story and the artwork are great; Katsura Hoshino has created an amazing story. If you're a fan of Bleach (Tite Kubo), I think you will like it because it's similar in some aspects but very different in other good ways. As you read more, Hoshino does a lovely job of fleshing out all the characters, so you really get a feel for how they are. One of my favorite thing about this series, is that well into the story, you see how the line is blurred between good and bad, and Hoshino hint that even a 'Holy war' (as it is referred to in the manga) isn't exactly good. I actually see that fact as a faint parallel to the crusades, since people were fighting in the name of God. Obviously it isn't the same, with demons (or Akuma(more like killing machines than seductive tempters(i.e. they just kill people , they don't tempt them to do bad and then eat their soul))) as the pawns for side of the war, and exorcists(like soldiers/similar to the shinigami from Bleach(not priests who pray and chant the demons away)) on the other. Anyway it's a really great, well written, and thought up story so I recommend you read if you don't already. If you do already read it and are to buy them, I recommend ordering them here, as the price is decent, you can get free shipping if you like enough volumes (like 2 or 3), and they are great quality. Also shipping was on time for me, and I had no problem with it what so ever.
