Synopsis

The third volume of the popular Japanese series Vampire Hunter D comes to America in Vampire Hunter D: Demon Deathchase. The vampire hunter known only as D has been hired by a wealthy, dying man to find his daughter, who was kidnapped by the powerful vampire Lord Meierlink. Though humans speak well of Meierlink, the price on his head is too high for D to ignore and he sets out to save her before she can be turned into an undead creature of the night. In the nightmare world of 12090 AD, finding Meierlink before he reaches the spaceport in the Clayborn States and gets off the planet will be hard enough, but D has more than just Meierlink to worry about. The dying man is taking no chances, and has also enlisted the Marcus family, a renegade clan of four brothers and a sister who don't care who they kill as long as they get paid.

So far, this is the best volume of Vampire Hunter D. D winds up in a village where everyone has dreamed of him. He is directed to the hospital. Once there the director takes him to a young woman. She has been bitten by a vampire, the twist she has been in a coma for 30 years!......more

Although D is still gorgeous and amazing, I couldn't really catch the story of this one. It's a dream within a dream that's clear, but how and why and what were the motivations of certain characters here...? Everyone was made up by the sleeping girl and they had realised they're only exist in her dre......more
