Information from Jump SQ website and this blogpost.

[EDIT]: I previously wrote that this book contains 42 chapters but I was wrong. Instead, it only features 25 chapters. The contents have been edited in bold. This series is mainly published for Jump SQ readers who have never read DGM at all. My sincere apologies for giving you false information about this book. More accurate information can be found here.

Dude, I almost thought this was an artbook. bummer

But it's just as awesome. *sparkle* Man. I'll have to wait til January or something to get it though. =3=

I hope someone who has it will upload scans. If it's not too much trouble.

This is awesome~! *A*
Too bad my JP is not efficient enough haha ;;.

lol.. Kanda's expression made me laugh. 8D;

Thanks for the info!

But chapter 1-49 at just 560 yen? Plus a A2 poster? Chapter 1-49 is like 5 volumes, which is $5.50 in my currency after translation into Chinese, and that is roughly 1770 yen. That's such a good deal I feel cheated XD.

[beli3ve.livejournal.com]

Sorry, my mistake, it's 42 chapters + 1 poster for 560yen. I've already edited the information. Haha, I feel cheated too DX (bought vol 1~18 in Japanese, each costing about $9.90 in Singapore, 390 yen in Japan.)

[mittens-220.livejournal.com]

Oh, I bought mine in Chinese from Chuangyi, and it's cheaper? Well, there are atrocious translation mistakes...

[leafyaki.livejournal.com]

Oh god *shudders* Absolutely right about that. I got the Tong Li version instead.

[mittens-220.livejournal.com]

I would have gotten the Tong Li version if the Chuangyi version wasn't like on a super cheap sale, which amounted to like $3 per volume. I wanted to keep my shelf beautiful too, so I stuck to Chuangyi even if the translations were a bit funny at times.

did u get it in sg?
is it still available??

[mittens-220.livejournal.com]

Erhm, in case you misunderstood, I was talking about the D.Gray man regular volumes, not the compilation.

[sky]

It's not just a straight reprint though, it leaves out quite a few chapters :( This is the highlights version basically. They're mostly offering it for Jump SQ readers who've never read DGM before, I think.

[grey-damaskena.livejournal.com]

I don't have it yet, but I'm probably going to get it. Just as soon as I can manage to get to a book store. Err. Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow . . .

[grey-damaskena.livejournal.com]

Oh, and thanks for the info on release dates!

[chikage-eiji.livejournal.com]

[strike-kun.livejournal.com]

[date-masamune69.livejournal.com]

i didn't know about it O_O

[aru-keehl.livejournal.com]

Really cool,if my funds weren´t already compromised for Crown Art,Gray Arc and 2010 Calendar,I´d buy it XD I´ll have to wait...um...until they released them all,but that´s ok XD

Except for a color illustration or two, there's really nothing new in this book :( The D.Gray-Party series is just reprints of selected chapters -- not even all of them -- so Jump SQ readers who've never read DGM before can catch up, and reprints of a few profiles from the fanbook. I'm really disappointed that they're cutting so much stuff out, blah. :(

[beli3ve.livejournal.com]

I see your point. I was confused when the blogpost said it contained only 25 chapters but featured 42 chapters. Seeing your comments clarified it.

So apart from the coloured illustrations and poster I guess it's not worth the buy (for avid DGM fans). I better put this disclaimer up.

Thanks for sharing!!

P.S. Was the poster nice? :P

[lavilena.livejournal.com]

Thank for share! :)

ohhh and Just for be sure... That’s Miranda on the second book, right? http://pokeseed.exblog.jp/11579865
