12,090 A.D. It is a dark time for the world. Humanity is just crawling out from under three hundred years of domination by the race of vampires known as the Nobility. The war against the vampires has taken its toll; cities lie in ruin, the countryside is fragmented into small villages and fiefdoms that still struggle against nightly raids by the fallen vampires--and the remnants of their genetically manufactured demons and werewolves.
In the distant future, a terrifying vampire has become the ruling species of Earth. Only the beautiful black-robed swordsman “D” can compete! 40th Anniversary Project of the Series! Saiko Takaki adapted the ninth novel in Hideyuki Kikuchi and Yoshitaka Amano's Vampire Hunter D novels, "The Rose Princess," into a manga. (Sources: Asahi Shimbun Publications Inc, translated)
