Blood Blade Vol. 04

Blood Blade Vol. 04

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, first published in English!

“I, Vlad, shall speed your way to hell.”

Vlad and company have successfully infiltrated the imperial capital amid the bustle of the upcoming festivities. They then cross paths with an unlikely pair: a onetime soldier with a kind heart and a boy who bears a striking resemblance to the recently deceased Camille. Adding to the mystery, the army takes to the streets in search of a young fugitive—one who may somehow be connected to the Justiciar’s infernal experiments. As all the pieces move into position, Vlad’s grand plan enters a perilous new phase…

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.
