Blood+ Volume 2 (Manga) Paperback – May 27, 2008

A really good volume to the short series of Blood+ If you haven't read the manga yet I suggest it. It's not as action packed as the anime, but it's still rather good.

I love this kind ok booksI love this kind ok books it is very difficult to find them, so I am very pleased to find it here

I love how the book series follows along pretty closely (but not too closely!) to the Anime series. It makes it interesting to have a few differences.

All I have to say is, if you're a Blood+ fan, you MUST buy this manga series, it's different from the show, but just as amazing, best cash investment ever!

The entire series of manga (5 volume) is an excerpt novelization of the anime series Blood+: Part One. Since it fills in no gap, provide no new character development, so unclear what's the point of this other than to make $ off the fans.

More of Saya's story unfolds as her memory returns from her past. The stakes are higher now as her foster brother, Riku, has been kidnapped and she's determined to find him and get him back to safety. Saya ends up working along with the Red Shield, an organization whose been trying to stop the Chiropterans as well.This manga has Saya traveling to Vietnam, which is good because the change in scenery drives home how this epidemic is expanding. Saya has a lot more on her plate then you're led to believe in the first volume. The action and violence are still there. There isn't as much Kai as in the first novel, but he isn't really a favorite of mine anyway so I didn't miss him. Nothing is taboo in this series as children are subjected to just as much violence and tragedy.I'm a big Haji fan, so I enjoy seeing him be Saya's rock. They have an underlying bond with each other that builds throughout the series. Unlike volume 1, this volume somewhat combines several episodes from the anime though, again, there are obvious plot differences.This volume could be a standalone, but since this series is only 5 volumes, it's worth reading consecutively.

Fast paced story and great character development
