・ The "SQ.LaB" story is the exact opposite of D.Gray-Man's story. The setting takes place in a modern-looking downtown, which is where the hero is.
・Afterwords, Lavi and Allen are going to be facing big tribulations, so, we should anticipate how that develops.
・Allen, who left the Black Order, is going to have a team that is able to be more precise...[?]
(Tgirl: This second half of this sentence is a little weird to me since it's a bit vague.)
・After experiencing with a variety of characters, Road is said to have a more active role in the future. She didn't die by the Apocryphos' attack, because she disappeared. Is Kanda not dead? He's likely to come back in the future?

Inner flap translation
From Komui Lee: Greetings, I am the supervisor for the black order Komui Lee. This time, for the sake of those who are going to join the Black Order, we are making a Black Order guide book. (Just for editing this book, they locked me up for three days! Read it seriously ok? Damn it.) For the sake of our world, let's work hard together.

Hoshino's Notes
"Thank you everyone for buying the D.Gray-man Fanbook. For me to be able to produce this sort of book is really due to the support of D.gray-man's fans. If everyone enjoys reading this, I would be happy too.
For me, the most memorable part in the production of this book is the interview with previous editor Y. Even though there is a little protest in my heart "WHY?", it's just a small one! But everyone said "I'm sure the fans look forward to seeing Hoshino vs Y" So I was mentally prepared.
So was it up to your expectations, only the readers would know but it was a wonderful memory.
Finally. I would like to thank the fans and the editorial department who were involved in the production of this book. I am sincerely grateful.
From now on, I would like to invite everyone to continue giving their support to the Noahs and Exorcists who are working very hard in the world of D.Gray-man.
Thank you."
