Not much more detailed, probably since only one chapter is out, but here's the one from Yen Press:

Quote:

In a late 19th century Paris plagued by vampires...who is Vanitas, and what secrets does he hold?

EDIT:
'Tis a good time to be a manga fan. Yen Press is on the ball with this one, getting it out so soon after release.

Chapter is available for puchase on Amazon for $2.99. A bit pricey for one chapter, but it's an 80 page whopper, so I expect if this keeps up, future chapters should be cheaper.

EDIT 2:
Never mind. For some weird reason, this isn't available for Kindle PC's on Amazon. Check the list for devices it's available on before purchasing. Will check the other options later, but in the meantime, for those interested, Google Play has a ten page sample available.

BPD Renegade · 2015-12-29, 03:16

Has anyone else read the chapter yet? It's like I'm seeing a bit of Alice and Oz again.

It was a fantastic start, and that last page -- this is going to be another great ride. Mochizuki-sensei once again shows us her superb skills.

Wonder if Yen Press is going to be publishing the volumes in sync with Japan as well. I ended up buying the chapter from Kobo, but I'm not fond of their reader (curse your limited options, Amazon!), so it would be nice to just read the physical copy without waiting months/years.

BPD Renegade · 2016-10-30, 15:05

Anyone on this forum following this? Chapter 11 wraps up the introduction to the series. It's looking to be another long runner.

Spoiler for speculation:

The updates for the manga have been kinda rough as of late, but I still put up with it for the most part... only to announce at the end of chapter 57 that the series will be going on an unspecified hiatus.

Also doesn't help that they drop this bomb on readers when literally just one page before, another member of the (thought to be extinct) Archiviste clan was revealed.

No surprise really, Mochizuki has been taking a lot of breaks lately due to illness.

MK-95- · 2022-06-13, 11:43

I'm fine with the author going on hiatus for reasons concerning their health, I'd never hold it against them for prioritizing their own well-being.

The only thing I'm mildly upset about is that if you were absolutely certain that you were going on hiatus, I'd prefer that you not drop a bomb like that and then say "see you whenever I'm well enough to continue".

Because now I'll be stewing for months thinking about where this new plotline will go and how many other Archiviste clan members are out there.

Endscape · 2022-06-13, 11:59

From an economic perspective, doing a cliffhanger before taking a hiatus is a good way to ensure your fans will come back once the manga restarts.

MK-95- · 2022-06-13, 23:21

It's also torture for readers who're deeply invested. I'm already feeling kinda shitty and it's only been 1 day since I found out about the hiatus.

Endscape · 2022-06-14, 00:49

That's how you know it's working. You're already jonesing for your next hit of the Mochizuki goodness.

MK-95- · 2022-06-14, 01:14

T_T Ikr! This manga is so good and Vanitas as a character is so intriguing to learn about.

There're so many secrets he keeps that I'm just dying to know and every time we get to peek into his past, it's always a good time. I'll also be lying if I said I didn't look forward to some more Vanitas x Jeanne goodness.

I've also always wanted to learn more about the Archiviste and their unique ability. Plus I'm still waiting for the almost-guaranteed situation where Noe will finally get to drink Vanitas' blood and peer into his memories. Now that will be an amazing time since I've yet to be disappointed when it comes to revelations about Vanitas' past (my personal fave moment being when Noe, Roland and Co. learned about his connection to Moreau).

We've finally entered into the Archiviste sub-plot and things are gonna be shelved for who knows how long. The anticipation is gonna be killer.

Mad Pierrot · 2022-11-28, 10:16

A shame about the hiatus but at least the author managed to give the anime somewhat conclusive episode to the anime. We still haven't seen Vanitas' full reaction to his newfound feelings for Jeanne which seem effective enough to be from a shojo manga. A lot of other subplots remain open too liked the eyepatched redhaired vampire, Mikhail's arm, etc.

Mad Pierrot · 2023-04-21, 06:24

Manga is coming back from hiatus starting May

Endscape · 2023-04-21, 09:13

Thank God!

BPD Renegade Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2013 Location: at port, docked	Anyone on this forum following this? Chapter 11 wraps up the introduction to the series. It's looking to be another long runner. Spoiler for speculation: General opinion is that this is a memoir written by Noe, but something about human Vanitas having that name has me thinking. Is his name really Vanitas, or is he merely "borrowing" it? If this is the case, then who is the real Vanitas? Why is child Noe holding a book with the Vanitas imagery floating atop it inside volume 1? Could Noe be related to him in some form? Could Noe be an incarnation of Vanitas? Rambling questions aside, my point is, what if the author of the memoir is human Vanitas?. The title would make a lot of sense then. This is the memoir of Vanitas, as in, Vanitas's memoirs, a memoir he wrote himself about how he met and killed the other Vanitas.
