Manga Recognition


So now Al Qaeda is even mentioned in manga huh?

The page below is taken from the 17th chapter of manga Dance in the Vampire Bund, subsequantly the fifth chapter in it's third volume.


Story and illustration by Tamaki Nozomu, it's one of the most well-developed and original manga. You could read the plot summary below:

After millennia in hiding, Mina Tepes, the Princess of the ancient covenant and ruler of all vampires, wants change. Using the vast wealth of the Tepes line, she has paid off the entire gross national debt of Japan and in so doing, gained the authority to create a "special district" off the coast of Japan that is to become the future haven to vampires the world over. Now, on the eve of the landmark press conference announcing the existence of vampires to the world, terrorists and rival factions plot to assassinate Mina before she has a chance to make her world-changing announcement.

This gothic lolita manga is also getting it's own anime. It's set to be produced by Shaft, the same studio doing Bakemonogatari. I'm already liking the manga, with it's flat loli- *cough* I mean, it's vampire action and it's excellent original storyline, I'm putting a high hope on the anime.

You could read the manga here.
