Plot

Set in 19 century England, D.Gray-Man is a manga about Allen Walker, a 15-year-old who roams the earth to find Innocence, washed away to unknown parts of the world after The Great Flood.  Innocence is a substance that can be used to make weapons that destroy demons called Akuma. Only an Innocence-compatible person can use these Anti-Akuma weapons to fight them. These people are known as Exorcists and Walker is one of them.

Allen Walker uses an Anti-Akuma weapon that is a enlarged claw-like version of his left disfigured arm. Using his left eye, which was cursed along his with arm, he can also see an Akuma hiding within someone's skin. He works with other Exorcists in a group known as the Black Order who are in war with the Akuma, the Noah Family, and the evil Millennium Earl, who wish nothing more to destroy all the Innocence and humanity with it.
