Q. Tyki has some piercings but is it because he likes piercings?
A. Yes, probably. But, you know, I don't think Tyki is really interested in fashion...so anything you'd give him and tell him to wear, he would wear it.
Q. Tyki can change his skin colour when he is a Noah, but can he only make the stigmatas disappear?
A. I think he could, yes.
Q. When Tyki is a human, he only has two earrings (one on each side) but when he wears his Noah clothes, he seems to have two piercings on his right ear: is it because he had two holes?
A. No, actually, I think it's an earring that looks like there were two piercings.
Q. How are the Noahs's rooms?
A. Are they clean? No, I'm sure they are very dirty.
About Allen
Q. How good is Allen at cooking?
A. Maybe it doesn't look good but actually is? I'm pretty sure Allen is really really bad at cooking. That's the reason why in his list of potential candidates for marriage, there is the chief Jerry. I'm sure he wants to marry him. If his partner can cook, anyone is fine. I'm pretty sure Cross can cook better than Allen.
Q. Will there be a day when Allen and Chaoji can become friends again?
A. I hope so too.
Q. If Allen, Lavi and Kanda lived now, what kind of socials would they use?
A. Lavi would be sort of nerd. Allen would be the nice guy who uses it sometimes and Kanda...He would not have a phone or any socials. He would use Lenalee as a cellphone, asking her to call instead of him. And Lenalee would be like "have a phone yourself!"
Q. What kind of general would be Allen? Would he have a pupil of his own?
A. Allen.. I don't think he will ever be a general... I can't imagine. Can he become a general? I think he lacks a lot...but I am sure he would be very nice with his pupil. I think his pupil would be a girl.
Q. Would Allen hug me?
A. Yes, he would, I'm sure. But he would be a bit ashamed, not as enthusiastic as Lavi. So if you want a real hug, go to see Lavi.
About Lavi/Bookman/Bookman Junior
Q. What kind of cakes Lavi like?
A. Lavi...I think he likes pistachio.
Q. You said in this chapter the knowledge of Bookmen is shared by their blood. Does that mean every Bookman knows what the other Bookmen have recorded?
A. No, they don't. It's not like a superpower. They only share their blood to transfer it to the Junior. It's not like an Akuma: you know, if an Akuma sees something, every Akuma knows it and the Earl too. It's not like this for Bookmen.
Q. Can Lavi cook?
A. Yes, he is pretty good, I think. Lavi is good.
Q. Has Lavi any weaknesses?
A. Yes, of course he has.
Q. I would love to see Lavi cooking and Kanda/Allen being so surprised about it.
A. Ah, yes they would. Like, Lavi is someone who doesn't look capable but who is actually very capable.
Q. I am tired because of my work, would Lavi hug me?
A. Yes, he would, I'm sure. Kanda would never. If Kanda hugs you, it's the art of Kanda.
Q. Would the old Bookman hug me?
A. Yes, he would. I'm sure it's pretty ok in the Bookman clan to hug people.
Q. While reading the latest chapter, I remember Bookmen cannot have a girlfriend but can have children.
A. Yes, you are right. But you know, if you ask me if Lavi has already children, the answer would be "No, not YET".
Q. Does Lavi has a lot of bandanas?
A. Yes.
Q. Did Lavi make friends with other girls before coming to the Order?
A. I think he did, but he was never a very profound friendship. He knows he cannot have a girlfriend but having children is ok...so...
Q. Did you decide all Lavi's past names?
A. Not all of them, no.
Q. The things Bookman Junior has on his ears, is it piercings? Earrings?
A. It's piercings. But there is no real reason behind the shape, it's just I found it was easy to draw.
Q. Lavi looks very stylish, how many piercings does he have?
A. He has a like, a LOT. I think one of the reasons he wears a lot of accessories, in a eccentric way, is because he tries to protect himself and his heart. I think he changed accessories depending where he goes as a Bookman.
Q. Does Lavi wash his scarf himself?
A. When he was travelling with Bookman, yes, of course he did. Now, in the order, I don't think he does, someone washes for him.
About Kanda
Q. If a girl is only 1.50m, what do Allen, Lavi or Kanda would think?
A. I think Lavi and Allen would be okay with that, but Kanda, no.
Q. Can Kanda cook?
A. When it comes to Kanda...well...he has been doing missions since he was young, so he is used to camp outside. So, I'm pretty sure he can do open air cooking/camping cooking. He is the one picking herbs and being like "Hmmm I think this is edible." And even if it is not edible, he can cure himself with his blood, so he thinks it's fine. That's why he can even eat poisonous mushrooms, if he gets his stomach full, that's fine for him. But, I'm pretty sure Tiedoll told him many times he couldn't do that. So, he learnt which herbs can be eaten and which herbs cannot. Now he can make the difference bewteen them, but sometimes he is just so fed up he does care. Probably (ahah) but I feel he would be interesting to see Kanda peeling a potato. He also fishes.
Q. The others would have stomachache if they ate Kanda's food?
A. Yes, I'm pretty sure. Allen would be like "Wait, can you eat this herb? Really? You are sure?" And Kanda would be like "just don't eat then, Baka moyashi". And Allen "No, I am going to eat it but eat it first. If I see your blood curring you, I won't eat it"
Q. When I read the light novels, I felt Kanda's powers to regenerate himself were not that strong?
A. Well ..how should I put it. It's a shonen manga rule. A immortal character is a kind of taboo in shonen mangas. Because if he is invincible, he will never be in trouble, right? So, that's why when I decided to make him able to regenerate, I decided to put a limit to his powers. And this limit becomes smaller with time, that's how I made Kanda to be able to be in trouble as well. But yes, usually invincible characters or characters that can heal themselves are not very well perceived by the editors, especially as main characters.
Q. What is Kanda and Allen's biggest fight?
A. Probably during Alma's arc.
Q. Does Kanda has piercings?
A. No. He doesn't.
About Link
Q. What kind of flowers does Link like?
A. Link's favourite flowers...? Flowers? Actually, I think he would prefer small grass that people walk on...like small flowers that grow between buildings and walls? All the flowers crushed by people, I think Link would identify to them
Other characters
Q. Can I expect some improvements in Marie and Miranda's relationship in the next chapters?
A. Yes, I'd like to draw it too...
Q. How does Emilia call the teens?
A. I think she calls him by their names, except for Kanda. For Kanda, it's Kanda-san.
Q. Can Bak cook?
A. Hmm..I think he can't cook that well.
Q. Does it hurt Wisely when you touch is magic eye?
A. I'm sure there is a kind of laser that comes out one you try to touch it (laugh)
Q. If there is a kumite tournament (a sort of Japanese martial art) Bookman would be the first, Kanda the second and who would be the third?
A. Probably Lenalee.
Q. If Bak Chan had SNS, if would definitely have a secret account.
A. Yes definitely, he would have his main account and then, a secret locked account.
Q. I want Alma to hug me!
A. But, Alma is not here anymore (💀) wake up!
Q. Would Lenalee hug me?
A. Probably she would do a friendly hug but for men, you should be careful to the Sciences division.
Q. I want to be hugged by the Earl.
A. Hmmm, I see...but wait, which one? The fat one? The human one?
Q. I want Apo to hug me?
A. For real? Are you alright?
Q. And what about Link?
A.Link would use his powers to restrain the moment you get close to him. And he would say "Why are you trying to get closer?"
Q. I want to hug Road!
A. If Road hugs you, you'll get killed.
Q. Bewteen Mana and Nea which one would hug you back?
A. It's Mana, of course.
Q. There are a lot of DGM characters wearing piercings, right?
A. True. It might be because I can't have piercings so I'm trying to make my wish come true on my characters, ahaha. If I could, I would have many piercings on my ears, but I can't so...
Q. Will there be a character wearing a piercing on the lips?
A. No, there won't be. It's impossible for the XIXth century.
Random TMI
Q. You said before the Sakamoto Maaya's song was D.Gray-man's origin*, but was it a coincidence if she was chosen to play Ro Fa? Did you ask for her?
A. It's really a coincidence. Actually, I can say it now, but, at the beginning, for Allen's voice in the first anime, the staff made a list of potential voice actors, but one of them was actually Sakamoto Maaya.
*actually, I want to make a blog article about this.
Q. I do understand you need to move on with the plot, but I wish we could see more some domestic/every-day life scenes?
A. Yes, I know, me too.
Q. Please tell me your ranking of the best 3 huggers and the worst three huggers!
A. Ok, so my ranking is : Bookman, Lavi and Allen. But Cross would also enter in the top three so, Lavi, Cross...ah but Tyki would hug you too. Tyki is a bit like Lavi, they do not have any bad intentions , so if you ask them to hug you, they would be "ah alright, come here!" And even if you asked, the ones who would never hug you would be Kanda, Krory...and ? Levellier. But you can shake hands with Krory ahaha.
That's the end of this English sum-up in three parts. Thank you to everyone who read it. I hope you had fun and you learnt many things !
