Synopsis

• The people of the village of Tepes once cowered in fear beneath the shadow of the Nobility manor. But the Nobility moved on, and the castle sat empty, a place whispered of in ghost stories to caution young children to stay away. One day four of the village children vanished. Only three returned, with no memory of what happened or where they went...

About this title

Reviews

Grade 10 Up—This is a manga adapation of the second volume in Kikuchi's multimedia series of the same name. One hundred centuries from now, following a devastating battle with vampires known as the Nobility, humankind has reverted to a near-medieval society. Outposts of humanity are still at risk from the supernatural and scientific legacy of the Nobility and the towns hire Hunters to protect themselves. Like a lone gunman of the Old West, Vampire Hunter D rides into one such town, vowing to clean it up, for a fee. This stoic, intelligent, and lethal Hunter teams up with a local girl who is destined for great things due to her high test scores. There is plenty of set-up and pay off in the story, while the dramatic and kinetic artwork carries the pair forward. This gothic, action-packed, and mysterious tale is sure to have lots of appeal, but its strong violence and sexual imagery make it best suited to the older teens.—Douglas P.
