During the years D books have changed. When I first begun to read these novels D was silent and a bit grumby type of antihero. He rarely spoke and when he did, it was as little as possible.
Now, on the 16th novel he's become more talkative, more social - and more colder. And the stories involve more and more side characters each time.
I guess it's not a bad thing, from the story point of view, but occasionally I do miss the silent type lonely Hunter who has bizarre conversations with his left hand... Lucky for me the hand still is hilarious (and somewhat still a riddle)! ;)
Illustrated by Yoshitaka Amano.
In this chilling adventure, Vampire Hunter D has been dispatched to vanquish the ancient vampiric Noble Count Brohj, guardian of an ancient buried treasure. But when a mysterious object crashes into the earth, destroying half of the northern Frontier, D faces an even more terrifying opponent - the renegade vampire Valcua, the Ultimate Noble Having been exiled to outer space, Valcua took his entire kingdom of strange and deadly creatures with him, and swore that when the time was right they would return to have their revenge. Unfortunately for D, that time is now.
