dgray_man | Photos showing Hoshino-sensei!

Hello everyone!

Here are some pictures of Hoshino-sensei and the D.Gray-man exhibition of her original works I took at the AnimagiC 2008. The manga pictures are the real drawings brought from Japan. I also made some photos during the autograph session.

There was a discussion with Hoshino-sensei where the german fans could ask a few questions regarding
D.Gray-man. Here is a short summary of the questions and Hoshino's answers:

BEWARE OF SPOILERS!!!!

1. How old is Rhode Camelot?
-> Hoshino-sensei will keep this as a secret for now.

2. Has Tyki a favourite dish?
-> It's fish. ;-)

3. Will Kanda's past be shown sometime later in the manga?
-> Yes.

4. The D.Gray-man fanbook says that David (Debitto) loves break-dance. Why is that so?
-> It's one of his hobbys. Hoshino-sensei likes break-dance too but doesn't practice it herself. ^_^;;

5. Will the mystery behind Cross' death be resolved?
-> That's a secret too. She didn't want to talk about what will happen in the story in the future. That's understandable... in my opinion.

6. Has Tyki Mikk still gray skin after losing his Noah?
-> Yes.

7. There are currently 15 volumes published in Japan. Are there plans to end the story soon ?
-> There are as of now no concrete ideas as when to finish the series. <-- I'm glad about that. She should
continue the story as long as possible, right? :-)

8. From where did Hoshino-sensei got the idea for the title "D.Gray-man"?
-> The colors black and white play an important role in the whole series. And the color gray symbolizes that.

9. The fanbook mentions that Rhode loves Allen. Will the story evolve around this aspect too?
-> Another question she didn't want to answer. Of course. But she was grinning. :-D

Hoshino-sensei also said that it's the first time she made an appearance in the public talking about her
manga and getting into contact with her fans. So she met her german fans before the japanese ones!!! She also said that it is a great feeling how much enthusiasm the fans show for her manga.

I think she really liked the meeting, especially the german cosplayers which were dressed as one of the
D.Gray-man characters.

Please excuse my bad English. I'm German...after all...^_^

I agree, she is cute! ^____^
The exhibition pics are amazing. *__*

Oh wow.... Now I know the creator of one of my favorite series is indeed female! x3

Would it be okay if I post this at D. Gray-Man Anime forums to share with other DGM fans? I'll definitely credit you for this. ^^

You may post these pics and infos at D.Gray-man Anime forums to share it with other D.Gray-man fans.^_^ Could you send me the link to the site, please? Thank you very much!

Nvr ecpected hoshino to be a girl!!
You go Girl!!
Thanks 4 dhe info's

I've been so confused over Hoshino's gender considering all the manga volumes I have here address her as "Mr. Hoshino" and "He".

By the way, don't worry about your English. You speak it fine! :D

Thank you for the photos! Hoshino is so pretty. ♥

HOMG! Krory was on the cover of Shoenen Jump????? *cries tears of joy* T____T

Hoshino's so cute!! * w * Thanks so much for sharing the pics~~!! :DDD ♥♥

Aww, and she's cute too ;A;

Thank you so much for sharing everything! Yay! <3 <3 <3

And I'll join in the people who really want to see #3 happen!

All hail Hoshino-sensei! *bows head repeatedly* I am not worthy! *bows head repeatedly once more*

Man, she's pretty. o_0

ich bin so schrecklich neidisch. ganz ehrlich.

leider halte ich von der animagic nicht viel aber allein wegen Hoshino wäre ich so gern dort gewesen *seufz*

danke für die Fotos!

Thank you for sharing!

Glad to know I was right about Hoshino being a woman~ And she's really pretty! And XD @ Tyki and fish. Gives me the urge to sketch him as a catboy with a fish in his mouth...

That's amazing *_*

~~I never fail to be confused by all the people who don't know Hoshino-sensei's gender though XD;;~~

And I love that they brought the giant manga blowups from that particular chapter (with Komui and Linali)!!! That's my favorite chapter of the entire series XD; I wonder if Hoshino picked out that particular chapter herself, lol...

DKSLFWHAT? DEBITTO CAN BREAKDANCE?
...OMG.

Aha, I knew she was a woman. >:D

and to #9 - YESPLZTHX

No way! You're so lucky! And Hoshino looks different from what I imagined, but she's pretty awesome. ~~Cross is not dead! D<~~
Thanks for sharing!

Aw, she's so adorable!

Thanks so much for posting this!

Loved getting all the info. OMG, yes! Kanda's past shall be revealed! Haha, Debitto the break dancer that suits him so well.

It'll all be revealed soon.

Ah, is it me or is sensei..handsome?

HOSHINO'S A GIRL??????????????????????????????? (And a very pretty one).

Yay for Kanda's past! :D But what about Lavi's? D:

i can't wait to know Kanda's past, this is one of many reason i keep reading the manga

Forgot to mention this : Kanda's past FTW! The suspense is a murder! XD

I thought Hoshino was a guy because I was browsing a forum to understand why the name "D. Gray-Man" was the title and people there were addressing her as a guy. Now her gender has been confirmed!

Now I'm more excited!!
oooo, Kanda's past. O_O
black and white = gray. interesting.
hehehehe... Road and Allen

Thank you for sharing this information!!!
I can't wait to read more D. Gray-Man!!
