D.Gray-man

(Japanese: ディー・グレイマン

Hepburn: Dī Gureiman

Set in the 19th century, D.Gray-man follows the adventures of 15-year-old exorcist Allen Walker, whose left arm can become a claw and destroy creatures known as Akuma. They were created from the souls of dead people by Millennium Earl, who wants to destroy humanity. Allen wishes to free the Akuma souls after his late guardian, Mana Walker, is resurrected by the Earl. Losing control of his claw, a younger Allen destroyed Mana's Akuma. After finishing his exorcist training with General Cross Marian, Allen joins the Black Order (an organization trying to stop the Earl). With his injured left eye, caused by Mana's Akuma, Allen can detect disguised Akuma; this makes him a substantial asset to the Order. He is sent to recover pieces of Innocence, a substance which enables the exorcists to destroy Akuma. The Earl assembles the Noah family, superhuman descendants of Noah who can destroy Innocence.

He begins killing the Generals, the Order's most powerful exorcists, and the Order tries to bring the Generals back to their headquarters for safekeeping. Allen and three other exorcists are sent to find the missing General Cross, and Allen and Lenalee Lee are nearly killed during the mission. They are saved by their Innocence, leading the Earl, Bookman and his apprentice Lavi (who are chronicling the war) to believe that one of them has the Innocence Heart—which could give them victory against the Noah.

Allen and his allies fight the Noah in a dimension known as Noah's Ark. When General Cross is found the Ark begins to collapse, nearly killing everyone inside it. Cross forces Allen to play the Ark's piano, which restores the dimension. He and the exorcists return to the Order, and Allen's master tells them that Allen is to succeed Nea (the 14th Noah). Nea was killed for betraying the Earl, but before his death he implanted his memory (including the ability to control Noah's Ark) in Allen; this leads the Order to suspect that Allen might betray them. Allen disobeys an order to destroy the Akuma of Alma Karma, who he sends with fellow exorcist Yu Kanda to another area through Noah's Ark, and is confined due to the Order's fear that Nea will return. The Noah free Allen from the Apocryphos, a sentient Innocence which guards the Heart; the Order revokes Allen's privileges as an exorcist, and treats him as a Noah. Allen leaves the Order, deciding to continue fighting Akuma, and the Order and the Noah begin searching for him. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D.Gray-man)
