Sounds great. I love Kikuchi's work, and this one sound particularly entertaining.
Maybe this is where Dracula learned the naked blade catch technique he passed on to D and Magnus?  |

| I am a fan of the Vampire Hunter D series so I'll probably give this a try. |

| Should be noted that the original book of Dracula had a weak ending, being only a single paperback page long. But, according to my gothic lit. class, there was some purpose behind that I'll never understand. |

I thought the original's ending was perfectly fine.
But then again, the original Dracula is so much different from the modern vampire story. This book just looks really... unoriginal? I think I'll pass. |

Sounds like fun. Thanks for the review! I like alternate Dracula novels, even if they're a little mediocre.
Re: active and passive voice, I'm wondering if there's that clear of a distinction in Japanese. I have no idea. I'm just curious. |
