This book is simply breathtaking,in words and picture.It is so overwhelmingly beautiful and subtle at the same time. I was knocked over.

Vampire Hunter D Volume 1 (Vampire Hunter D)

Seen the Movie, now Read the Book and be Blown Away
Wow. When I bought the book, I was expecting a novelization of the movie, but this book is so much more. The movie was about Vampire Hunter D, this book IS Vampire Hunter D. Compared to the book, the 1985 movie was a run through of all the important plot points and leaves out a huge chunk of the events only seen in the book. Battles, scenes, and background information that you never see in ...

D comprised in short stories
I loved the way this was written. It is in 3 short stories and each one is wonderful. D rides a different colored horse in one of them and they are definitley not lacking in action. I highly recommend this novel.

My Review for both the 7th and 8th Novels
This story is quit complex and I can see why this is a maybe for the next Vampire Hunter D movie. It wasn't your usually Vampire Hunter D story, where the girl falls for D and seem to suffer from "Oh save me baby" sysdrome. The main girl in this story isn't your perfect beauty either. She seem to have very muscluar body, not perfect body. The story has many characters, and one might get ...

Love, oh, love...
If you have seen Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, then you may wish to pick up this volume. It is this book that the movie is based on. Of course, the movie is not just a copy of the novel, there are certain twists and turns that make them different. In fact the ending in the movie seems to be brighter than the one in the book, just slightly. The Marcus Clan are not people I would want to hire or ...

Vampire Hunter D Volume 6: Pilgrimage of the Sacred (Vampire Hunter D)

Yoshitaka Amano, Hideyuki Kikuchi

Dark Horse Books/Digital Manga Publishing, 2006

Far above the other books
I've been tearing through the D books for the past few weeks, enjoying them to varying degrees. This one breaks the mold of the previous books; there's no vampire to kill, no maiden to save, just a band of people attempting to cross a very dangerous desert. I wouldn't call this book character-driven, but the characters are much stronger than in the previous outing. D gets shows some emotion ...

Detective D
When he's not hunting vampires, D is an excellent detective. Ten years ago, 4 children go missing and only 3 return. Now vampires are able to walk in daylight. What happened ten years ago? How are daylight walking vampires and the 3 missing children that returned (now adults) connected? The answer will shock you. What I liked about this novel is a thin line is drawn between humanity ...

Fairies

Dark Horse, 2006

Enter the Ethereal World of Amano's Fairies
Fairies provides us with another offering from the renowned Japanese artist Yoshitaka Amano (of Vampire Hunter D fame). The book is packed with full color portraits of fae folk. The title Fairies is deceiving in that it is not exclusively fairy; rather Amano covers a spectrum of magical creatures primarily from folklore of the British Isles. Some familiar creatures include pixies, leprechaun, ...

Coffin: The Art Of Vampire Hunter D

Dark Horse, 2006

To die for
The kind of book one wants to open and roll himself or herself all over the pages. Huge size, excellent paper, amazing printing quality, and I can go on practically forever. Much better than the Japanese edition which is small and most pictures are not even full size, but cropped. (Yes, I am crazy enough to own both editions!) Amano is a genius. His lines and forms are flowing, his colours ...

A Wind Named Amnesia
Hideyuki Kikuchi, Yoshitaka Amano

Dark Horse, 2008

The Apocalypse didn't end with a BANG, but with a whimper. Silently, the 'amnesia wind' swept away all of mankind's knowledge. Thousands of years of human civilization vanished overnight as people forgot how to use the tools of modern civilization; who they were, how to speak - everything! Technology decayed as mankind was reduced to an extremely primitive level. Two years after the devastation, a young man explores a nation reduced to ...

More than I expected!
This book was much more than I expected! I couldn't be happier with it. The images in this book are beautiful & heartwarming. I love the story & history that was also included. I am using this book in my wedding & I again couldn't be more happy or surprised as to how beautiful it is.

D and Sleeping Beauty
An interesting twist to the saga of the dhampir, D. In this story we find D unable to get a good night's (or is day's?) rest. Not because he is hounded by demons and bounty hunters, his nights are restless because everytime he closes his eyes he experiances the same dream over and over again. And when he arrives in a village that has been at peace with vampires since who knows when, things get ...

Vampire Hunter D Volume 8: Mysterious Journey to the North Sea, Part Two (Vampire Hunter D)

Dark Horse Books/Digital Manga Publishing, 2007

refreshing
This book was refreshing, there were a lot of elements, characters involved. D finally gets pushed around and tricked and even dies, again. But man, that left hand is great, I can't wait to see if the future books will give us a flash back book about when D was a bit younger and how he met up w/ Lefty. Most likely, I feel like Dracula left Lefty just for D and for D's purpose (to finish off the ...
