D.Gray-Man and the Recent Updates

I just read all the updates I didn't read and guess what? I understood N O T H I N G.

Has it ever happened to you? Starting a manga, reading all the chapters until the last chapter available, then waiting for an e t e r n i t y for the next chapter? And somehow, while waiting, you ended up reading 71623917238 mangas, then BAM! An Update.

Searching for Allen Walker, the Awakening. Phew.

I might or might not be able to re-read the chapter (to refresh my mind) then finish 'til the last update.

This always happens when I finish reading the last update of an on-going manga. Then the despicably long interval before the next update. I always, always end up forgetting the last chapter (or what happened), and I'd have to re-read the last chapters to get the "flow" of the story again.
