![]() ![]() As with all of Kikuchi’s novels this maintains a certain weird fiction feel to it. ![]() In addition to this the race like nature of the story lends itself more to Kikuchi’s insane action scenes and random bits of world building rather than focusing on fleshing out a single area and it’s environs. It’s just that plot itself is as straight forward as can be rather than hinging on things such as the grand, labyrinthine mysteries as with the previous volume. Revelations of the Marcus clan, some tantalizing hints as to the true nature of D’s left hand and more abound. That’s not to say the story is without it’s twists or turns. There’s little mystery to be solved and virtually no webs of intrigue to unravel. If the introduction didn’t make it clear, this is essentially a chase story. The three groups clash as they speed across a wasteland inhabited by rusting robots, flesh eating insects, towns of supernatural threats and more. ![]() D and rival group of hunters known as the Marcus clan find themselves at odds as they both take the same job, retrieve a kidnapped human from her vampiric abductor and return her to her family. The third volume of Hideyuki Kikuchi’s epic series, Vampire Hunter D: Demon Deatchase, gives us what is quite possibly the most well known Vampire Hunter D tale of all thanks to a fantastic anime adaption in the form of Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust.
