Vampire Hunter D


So, Jay recommended Vampire Hunter D by Hideyuki Kikuchi. This is a fresh and fun story. I'm glad there are several more in the series.

D is a vampire hunter in a world many thousands of years into the future. Technology is both astoundingly advanced but life seems surprisingly primitive. Small old world like villages and farming communities, make up D's world but with ultra advanced farming gadgets, iron horses, and many other interesting things.

Fantastic creatures exist to haunt and terrify. The most devious and cruel being the Nobility, the vampires. Many of the villages exist under the shadow of a great Nobility Lord.
And it is D that tries to free the people from the vampire's tyranny.
