Vampire Hunter D Volume 1 | Hideyuki Kikuchi, Yoshitaka Amano

🎧 Vampire Hunter D has been around for DECADES. Times have changed.

I really enjoyed this book!

It‘s 12091 & vampires known as the Nobility have ruled the land for quite awhile, humans are just getting their foothold back. This is sci-fi/horror.

Bitten by a vampire a young girl named Doris seeks a vampire hunter to kill the one who bit her (and that dirty old vampire deserves it).

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👇🏻

Twainy She finds D, an equally young dhampire. It‘s just her & her younger brother on their homestead. Her community has different ideas including but not limited to marrying her off to the town bully.

The relationship between this spunky young lady, her brother & the semi-immortal D grows. It‘s a little predictable due to the tropes but I loved it! I see there‘s more books, I look forward to listening to them also!

Enjoyed! Pub date - 2/15/22.

I really enjoyed the Vampire Hunter D movies a few years back but I feel like the novel was pretty lacking. I'm not sure if it's Kikuchi's inherent writing style or the translation but the writing style is distractingly over-descriptive but also doesn't do a great job of establishing atmosphere. a shame, since I like the bizarre setting. I'm also unsure if this is rough writing due to it being the 1st in a 20-something book series.

Still just as good as the first time I read it! I‘m looking forward to re-reading more of the series.

I read novelized version. Fun mix of horror, dystopia, YA, paranormal, western, steampunk, adventure, & romance! Violence & gore, very little romance but sexual violence so beware. Typical stoic tsundere hero. Enjoyed it a lot!

I enjoyed the anime film, and was totally excited for the book translations, with illustrations by Final Fantasy artist Yoshitaka Amano. The steampunk vampire imagination of Hideyuki Kikuchi is incredibly epic! Strange creatures and samurai sword battles through the series keeps the thrill for more. D's quest with Doris is a memorable best; a story of its own, worth many rereads.

#ReadJanuary #BooksByAsianAuthors 🦇 I've been enjoying the Vampire Hunter D series, after first seeing the anime movie. The awesomely cool illustrations, are by the Final Fantasy artist Yoshitaka Amano. The D stories of Hideyuki Kikuchi mix creature horror and steampunk sci-fi to the epic best!

Been anticipating this comic book for a while. Still fondly remember the original "Vampire Hunter D" anime, and this comic book series, subtitled "Message From Mars," is off to a strong start. And speaking as a vampire hunter author, also gotta buy this partly out of maintaining my street cred.

BiblioNyan Vampire Hunter D is one of my all-time favs. I'm glad the comics hold up. The novels are also really interesting and have great atmosphere in them. 7y
BillBlume @Bibli0.Nyan, the best praise I can give the comic is that it has me wanting to find some of the old VHD novels. 7y
