I guess for anyone whos noticed, you know i'm real big on the supernatural, and i'm guessing i'm not the only one out there....and although i already opened another topic devoted to the Supernatural, i think its only right that Vampires have their own topic.^^ for it was Vampires that brought us here!

I havent added Vampire Knight to the list for one reason only, and that is.....this whole forum was made for Vampire knight fans....sooo yeah no big suprise there is there!

please add any other vampire manga i have missed, and i know there are quiet a few....talk about them, argue about them, but dont forget be nice to each other.

have a Fangtastic Night.....sry couldnt help myself....

brandy....

[Yuukeh Chan]

Um Um~

What about Rosario+Vampire?

[brandy]

AHHHH........I've heard of it, but i havent read it...Isnt there also a sequel to it now??

[Yuukeh Chan]

I believe so~ x3

[brandy]

I've found another vampire manga which wasnt on my list:

Mokashikashite Vampire -- possible vampire?

i think thats the one but i'm not sure....hmmmm this is vexing! i sometimes really hate translated titles!!

[Yuukeh Chan]

I'm sure there is like a lot and a lot of vampire mangas because after all vampires are probably the most favorite creature of the night.

[brandy]

UHU oohh boy, they sure are...the thing with vampire manga though is that there are soo many different types in which they are protryed....and i'm happy for it! my fav vampire manga are a thousand years of snow, though i wish the story would go into the future a little bit more...what to now what happens, trinity blood, though i've heard that many peopl dont like it..wonder why....bloody kiss...although they are all under oneshots they make up a volume at the end..i really wish there were more.....model, oh how i love model, but again i would have liked to have seen what becomes of them....there are more but they will have to wait until the next post.

as for anime hellsing would be my no.1!....havnt seen anyother vampire anime.

and another new vampire manga to add to the list i havent read it and i dont know what its about but heres the title: Vampire Crisis

[Yuukeh Chan]

I don't know, I really like trinity blood and vampire knight. They seem to just portray my style I suppose when it comes to vampire mangas. Which I'm like behind on all the anime that I really need to see at the moment xD Hellsing is really good as well it was like one of my most favorite manga/anime's ever D: Which I really did want to cosplay as Integra Hellsing

[brandy]

Dont you think its too bad that the Hellsing anime is so short.

i really like trinity blood..i know theres a anime to it as well but i dont think i'll watch it since i already love the manga....

As for vampire knight......what can i say, its perfect!

oh and i've read the first 2 chapters of vampire crisis..its ok, the style is a lot like clamp and the storyline isnt that bad..i'm not sure yet whether i like it or not....need to read more.

[Yuukeh Chan]

I have never read vampire crisis xD to be honest I have never even read any of Clamp o-o I honestly should though...

Vampire knight is perfect even though it is like twilight but it is better than twilight xD

[brandy]

WHHHHHHAATTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!! you havent read anything of clamp yet!!!! ok so not all their stories are worth reading, but there are some REALLY worth it!

Yeah Vampire Knight is one of the best vampire stories there very will be!! but its not like twilight, i mean twilight has werewolves Vampire Knight doesnt....although both have their love triangles! if thats what you mean?..

[hazy]

Blood Alone seems like an interesting vampire manga.

It's about a young vampire girl/woman who has fallen in love with a human and is nurturing a sweet relationship with him rather than being vampirish.

I really liked Millenium Snow/ Thousand Years of Snow though. It would be nice if the mangaka renewed their interest in it and finished it for me :P

[brandy]

@ Hazy

i've heard of Blood Alone and i've got a friend who introdueced me to the manga but i havent gotten around to reading it yet. I know what its about and i've read the 1st chapter it looks promissing and i'm looking forword to reading it.

I've just found a new vampire manga called 'Vampire', very original of the mangaka wasnt it?? NOT! Anyway i've read the 1st chapter and i think its a keeper...its interesting and the style is pleasent to follow...i'm looking forward to seeing how the story turns out, though its not about love as far as i can tell, it seems to be set with a deeper plot, sort of like in 'vampire Girl'...Lets wait and see...

I'll have to look up the mangaka cause i cant remember His/Her name, so i'll get back to you!

Oh again, so many I don't know but a lot seem great :D I LOVEEE love love Millenium Snow and Trinity Blood!
I've been planning on watching Hellsing but I wasn't sure if I'd like it, now I think I'm going to give it another chance :) I think I also want to try Blood Alone and Vampire Crisis.
Any recommendations? Which do you think has nice art and drawings? :) I love the ones with nice art, but it also has to have a good plot haha. I'm so pick :| jeez, but I'd like to be a bit more open. I can get used to art I don't like as much xD!

[brandy]

@ CoughDrops

Well, alone from the list, i think these have the best art and good story plots, though they really differ from each other so it's really worth reading each story.

Blood +
Model
Rustblaster
Vampire Girl
Bloody Kiss

I hope you enjoy them!^^

[AlexD]

My favorite vampire of all time is D, the half human vampire hunter!

Unfortunatly I do not like the manga version of Hideyuki Kikuchi novels. However, the artist was recommededed by Kikuchi, so I still do buy them to support the title more than anything.

others, that I don't think were mentioned before:

Cirque Du Freak
(American story teller, but so far has been interesting)

Vassalord
(I can't quite get a feel if this is going to be any good; main vampire seems to have a perverted lust for a android like vampire mix of some sort?)


Red Angel
(short 2 volume series, with a slight twist to the usual vampire stories. But I liked it.)


Lament of the Lamb
(longer tale, involving brother & sister. Seemed to be a bittersweet story, involving the daughter who was hidden away & son who got to pretend to be normal for a while. But the pacing was a little too slow for me)

Dance in the Vampire Bund

Rebirth

(both of the above titles are more about fighting, then romance, but I've enjoyed the stories anyway)

Vampire Doll
(I don't remember now what this one was about)

Black Blood Brothers,
(prefered the anime, but it ends right as the story line gets interesting.)

Blood Suckers
(violent like hellsing, but sadly in a state of limbo by the US publisher. ;p)

[brandy]

OOOOh lost of new titels!!!
YEAH

hmmmm I've heard of Black Blood Bothers...read the 1st chap...

And i'm going to look into 'Lament of the Lamb', but i've got a question to AlexD, are all these manga? or books too?

[AlexD]

lament of the lamb is a manga,

However, a 4 episode ova does look like it was released:
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j28/BlueFlowerDesigns/Anime%20Backgrounds/th_A3066-21.jpg
http://www.animenews...ime.php?id=3066
But I don't know if anyone has fan subbed it or not.

It's really light in "vampirism" .. More like a blood disease. ;)

Most of the ones I've listed are Manga's first.
-Vampire Hunter D started out as novels and black blood brothers was a short anime series first
I don't know of any other novels, other than the two that came out with Vampire Knight.

Take that back, I've been reading Demon Princess, which is also by Hideyuki Kikuchi, & this is going to be a four part novel series? Demon Princess is set in the same world as Demon City Shinjiku (but 20 years later)
And the four bad guys in this series are four 4,000 year old chinese vampires. Hideyuki loves sex & violence so this won't be a story for the squemish or romantic. :D But he also seems to like making his star characters mega pretty boys, so that may attract some fans.
My favorite character from demon city, is the only recurring one in these novels:
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j28/BlueFlowerDesigns/Anime%20Backgrounds/th_shinjuku_mephisto.jpg
He is now known as Doctor Mephisto.__

I've just been checking out a new Korean web comic: Nobelesse. This is starting to become a favorite of mine.
It's a "young" 820 year old vampire. He is still young, because he has been sleeping all of this time. LOL

I'm not a big fan of supernatural elements unlike my sister who is trying to convert me into falling in love with more supernatural novels which consist mostly of vampires and vampires-related TV shows, she even claims herself as a vampire (She's in BioMedic falcuty in university, I have no idea what she relate her studies with supenatural beings!) endlessly; so I have no idea how VK come into the spotlight but I rarely treat VK as a vampire manga, it's like they're natural human beings but they are vampires as extra stuffs. xD

Since I read so little, the only vampire manga I've read so far besides VK are... Millenium Snow (A very sweet and simple story, random read from my sister's stash!), Vassalord (I read it because I'm curious, some people made interesting icons of the manga and I'm like, O///O and decided to sneak a look. So far... I have no idea what the story is actually about but it's okay, I guess!) and... RustBlaster (Toboso Yana's early work and she definitely improved her art in Kuroshitsuji although her art is beautiful even then. The story... interesting concept and pleasant enough for a one volume series).

Although my two cents, there's too much vampires stories out there and it's kind of... boring, to me at least.

[brandy]

@ AlexD
Yeah, i've heard of and started reading Nobelesse, the thing i dont really like about it, is that it takes like forever to get anywhere....plus there are like what...3 images to a page??

@ atemu_mana

I So agree with you that there are too many supernatural/vampire manga going around and that many are boring, those mostly being the ones which have stolen plots, ONE really has to go through a load of junk to get to even one remoatly good one!!

What do you look for in a manga? maybe i know one which is good and happens to be with vampires....vampires are just a different kind of character...look at it that way...
