dgrayman

The Rewinding City (巻き戻しの街, Makimodoshi no Machi) is the 3rd volume of Katsura Hoshino's D.Gray-man.[1][2]

Summary

"Allen and Lenalee are sent on a mission to a city where time has stood still, a place where the townsfolk forget that every day is the same day repeating itself. Strangely enough, a woman named Miranda is the only one unaffected by the time warp. Would it have anything to do with her being fired from her job for the hundredth time?"

Author's Note

"I received a fan mail that said the kanji character for "Katsura" also means moon. So my full name – Hoshino Katsura – could mean "star's moon" (because hoshi means star and no is a possessive particle). It's so romantic... It's a bit too romantic; it's kind of embarrassing."

ファンレターに書いてあったんですが、「桂」という字には月という意味もあるらしい。星の月...ロマンチックやなぁ。でもちょっとコテコテ過ぎて恥ずかしいかも...。
