"D.Gray-man (Manga) (Manga)" and its predecessor "Zone" share many major concepts, such as the creation of demons known as Akuma, the Exorcists' role to eliminate these demons, and the overall plot of both works. Katsura Hoshino's most recognized work "D.Gray-man (Manga)" is influenced by Hoshino's previous works. One reviewer believes that she will not, or perhaps cannot, draw psychical combat scenes. Nevertheless, she has also been highly criticized for her lack of skill in drawing action scenes. Hoshino's character designs have also received many positive comments ranging from "especially lovely" to "the most visually striking element" of her art, and it is said that her designs are "especially lovely and pitched to satisfy fans of both sexes". Another reviewer described it as "some of the best artwork in the business". Katsura Hoshino has been highly praised for her art, which has been compared by one reviewer to the works of Joe Madureira, Kelley Jones and Chris Bachalo. ![]() Nevertheless, even after turning up a little late and in her pyjamas, the editor saw potential in her work and this would mark the beginning of her career as a manga artist. However, when she did not sleep for three days straight, she was concerned she would not be able to make it to the meeting. Hoshino started to seriously consider becoming a manga artist when she was 21, and ended up attending a meeting with Shueisha after her sister and a friend at her part-time job suggested that she try to pursue it.

Katsura Hoshino was born April 21st, 1980 in Shiga Prefecture, Japan.
