>>740018 Well, to be fair, it's not really just a tragic war, it's the actual apocalypse.
As for what makes you not able to put it down, I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for in a story beyond a compelling setting, good suspense, character depth and hotness. I guess what keeps me personally coming back is all the little threads of mystery...and not all of it is your typical shounen stuff having to do with weapon-upgrades and new enemies and wangsty character backstory.
What is the Earl, what happened four thousand years ago with Noah's Ark, why does the clan of Noah have such a deep grudge against the Innocence? What is the true nature of Innocence, could it be evil? Who is the pope in this story who controls the Black Order, really, and what's he trying to do? Are the 'good guys fighting a losing war' really fighting for a good cause at all? What's the grinning shadow of a man that Allen sees constantly behind him now when he looks in the mirror? Is it a new aspect of his curse, or does it have to do with his connection to 'the Fourteenth'? Is Allen Walker becoming less human? And what is the nature of his curse, are there other cursed characters as well? And who was 'the Fourteenth' of the Noah clan, what made him betray the Earl? What does Lenalee's dream of the end of the Order and the death of her friends mean, and what's the significance of Allen sharing her dream? Which holder of Innocence carries the 'heart'? Why are there so many references to music and sound?
We know that Luffy will become the pirate king and Naruto will become hokage and Tsuna will grow into the shoes of Vongola Decimo, and we have a decent idea of how those stories will progress to those ends. But the way the story of D.Gray-man will go isn't as immediately clear. I keep reading because I want to know what happens...and I honestly can't guess what will, and that interests me.
Hope I've answered your question.
