About this converter
D.Gray-man by Katsura Hoshino runs in Shueisha Jump SQ magazines, ch. 1-226 collected plus an ongoing tail past ch. 240 as of 2026. This page compares 10 arcs through ch. 226, from the 7 chapter Introduction to the 46 chapter Noah Ark death game. Hoshino never titled arcs, so rows group neighbor chapters with ranges verified against the D.Gray-man Wiki story lists. The unclosed farewell arc from ch. 227 stays out. TMS Entertainment adapted the early arcs in D.Gray-man and Hallow.
How to use it
Pick two arcs and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Noah Ark arc against Introduction to see the 46 to 7 gap. Then test Edo Branch against Alma Karma to compare 33 chapters with 17.
Merges group neighbors only. Ghost of Mater absorbs the Rewinding City hunt, Yeegar absorbs the Vampire Castle, and the late HQ rows absorb the Cross disappearance and Paris thief cases. Two Wiki ranges overlap at ch. 45 and ch. 135, so Suman starts at ch. 42 and the Invasion at ch. 136 to keep rows contiguous. The series moved from Weekly Jump to SQ Crown and SQ Rise, which is why later arcs run long. VIZ English volumes collect the same chapters.
