D. Gray-man

D. Gray-man by Katsura Hoshino  is one of the manga I am not collecting - YET! I love everything about this story; the characters, plot, and drawing style. There are twenty-three volumes out at the moment so I better get started.

Genres: Action, Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy, Horror, Shounen, Supernatural, Tragedy

Summary: 

D.Gray-man follows the adventures of 15-year-old Allen Walker, whose left arm can transform into a monstrous claw and destroy akuma, evolving machines created by the Millennium Earl to help him destroy humanity. As ordered by his master General Cross Marian, Allen becomes an Exorcist, people who can destroy akuma, for the Black Order, an organization attempting to stop the Earl. He becomes a powerful asset for the Order because he can detect disguised akuma with his left eye. Allen is sent to recover pieces of Innocence, a substance that gives certain people, called Exorcists, the ability to destroy akuma. The Earl decides to call together the Noah Family, superhuman descendants of Noah who can destroy Innocence. Both sides start the search for the Great Heart, the most powerful piece of Innocence that will assure victory to the side that finds it.

 This manga also has been adapted into an anime consisting of 103 episodes and is licensed by FUNimation.

There is also a spin-off novel series titled D.Gray-man Reverse, by Kaya Kizaki, that explores the history of various characters.
