Old News: Vampire Hunter D first novel due out in May
I haven't been keeping up with much of the "anime world" lately--I know, I still tend to keep most of my posts dedicated to that stuff, but I honestly haven't been trolling the boards and websites for info on new stuff--until recently.
I've always been a big fan of Vampire Hunter D and imagine my surprise when I discovered the novels are finally being translated. I'd given up hope and was planning on buying the orginal Japanese versions--despite the fact it would probably take me months to read them. *laughs*
The first novel is due out May 15--or so says Darkhorse and Amazon. As much as I love Darkhorse translations, their scheduling is much to be desired...I mean, over a year between Blade of the Immortal GNs? *sigh*
ISBN:1595820124
Anyway, the second book is scheduled for a September release. We'll see. I won't complain, considering DH does a great job on their stuff, so I can wait.
ISBN:1595820140
There are 13 novels total, so this will be a fun series to keep up with. Many of us VHD fans have been waiting and waiting and waiting for this to happen. It makes me happy to finally hear we'll be able to enjoy D and his journies here in the US.
