Blood Blade Vol. 03

Blood Blade Vol. 03

Count Dracula is reborn as a katana-wielding young vampiress in a new, never-seen-before action manga set in a gritty, alternate-history Europe. Fans of cinematic, gory, supernatural alternate histories, like Vampire Hunter D, Hellsing, and Dance in the Vampire Bund, will want to sink their fangs into BLOOD BLADE.

Made in Japan, published in English!

Vlad’s battle against Camille nearly ended in disaster, but thanks to some quick thinking and a clever transformation, Vlad lives on to fight another day. Yet the Justiciar’s trackers are still on the party’s tail, and Monster Island remains only a distant rumor. That’s when Vlad suggests a daring plan: The party will cut through the heart of the empire and pass right under their enemies’ noses. To do so, they’ll need some help from their newest ally, a mysterious nun who may be more than meets the eye…

Biographical Notes:

Oma Sei’s debut solo work is BLOOD BLADE, being released now by Kodansha Originals.

Title Notes:

This series was developed specifically for the American market and is “streaming” on Kodansha’s website. It will release in the U.S. before being published in Japan.

The story breathes new life into familiar characters from the Gothic monster pantheon, such as Dracula and Frankenstein’s monster.

Duels and battles are vividly realized in numerous two-page spreads, and gritty artwork adds to the grimdark tone of the story.
