Trinity Blood, Vol. 1

Trinity Blood Manga I opens with The Star of Sorrow (anime episodes 3-4). Even it you have seen the anime version of this story you should read the manga. If the anime had followed the manga The Star of Sorrow would have been a three part story. Sister Esther is more observant and inquisitive in the manga than she is in the anime. Tres is an undercover agent in Giula's army. Bishop Laura is still alive. Giula's late wife Maria seems to have been human. In the anime I got the impression she was a Methuselah. The manga presents a fuller, more detailed story with better developed characters than the anime version. I am not slamming the anime. I love it and am in the process of buying the series. However, few film versions ever show all or the same aspects of a story as it appears in print. One word about manga: If you've never read one before, the story starts at the back of the book and reads right to left. It takes a while to get the hang of it.

Came on time and in perfect condition. Very happy to have it in my collection.

The story line in the book goes far deeper into the world of both Vatican and Methuselah lifestyles. It still contains the main story line but gives a more indepth look into the lives and loves and social order of both societies. (This comment will be reflected in the rest of the reviews I give) 5 Stars! Shawnek is an absolute wonderful seller. Shawnek appears to be part of the "Rightstuf" group. Kudo's to all. Great Prices, Great Condition, Great delivery!

I really enjoyed reading this book, The story starts off well and I recommend it too anyone who loves action

A very exciting read and a wonderful start to a series! It has plenty of mystery going for it and its characters have so much potential to grow. The artwork is gorgeous as well. Extremely enjoyable! I cannot wait to read the rest of these!

As a fan of the anime, I had hoped the manga would fill in some unspoken words.... Like most adaptions from manga to anime, some context are hidden or unknown to those who haven't read the story. That being said, I think I feel the anime was a bit more grounded in the introduction of the characters. I also think a prequel story about Abel Nightroad would a read as well.

I love the anime and wanted to get the manga to just have

Item was exactly as described and arrived on time. Very intriguing story and highly enjoyable. Great volume and arrived on time. :)

Excellent copy, well packaged to arrive in pristine condition

Excellent story (bare bones only I hate spoliers) .. world after armegedeon ... vampires appeared from where .? who started it ? Why does the Church keep a monster to tackle these beings .. more questions ..great characters and great graphics !The manga is still on going please keep reading it !!

fun read

Interesting art style and it is alot different from the anime for those who have watched it.

Unlike the anime the story doesn't have any pacing or intrigue and the artwork is chaotic hard to follow
