Blood Plus Manga
 
Does anyone know where I can get the full Blood Plus manga? I have been searching online everywhere. My sister thought she found one site, but it was in Japanese. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :-D

Is there a blood+ manga? Im pretty sure its just an anime, so I dont think your going to find anything.

Although, I could be wrong. If there is one, its news to me.

How interesting you should ask.

The BLOOD+ manga was recently licensed by Dark Horse, and should be out in English I THINK in February or March. They have also licensed the novelizations, which follow the anime a little more closely than the manga...(the manga is a very intersting retelling of the story!).

So, be a little patient...but it is coming!

I just found out the same information, and got all excited about being able to post it, but you beat me to it (lol)

anyway the exact date of release is: January 23, 2008

End of January...very cool. I think it will coincide with the anime DVD release, so we'll be up to our necks in Blood+...and I like that.

MMM 02-06-2008 05:41 PM
The Blood+ manga is released today. It's very different from the anime series. I am curious to hear what people think.

>_< i want za blood+ manga!!!!!

MMM 02-07-2008 08:51 AM
I reread it again today...and it is a real different take. I know there are a lot of Blood+ anime fans here, and a lot of anime-to-manga titles are, in my opinion, crap. They are just summaries of the anime.

This is really different. I could see how some anime fans might not like this anime version because it takes the story in different directions...

PLEASE do not post links to illegal download sites. That an easy way to get banned here.

With all due respect, CoolNard, if she wants the manga she needs to go to the bookstore or to the library to read it. Illegal downloading kills manga series more than illegal music downloading kills bands because they can always tour.

As someone who works hard to bring manga and novels from Japanese to English (and helped work on Blood+) I would much appreciate not stepping on my income by downloading illegal copies of published material.

Then a way to start is to deal with those illegal download sites personally, because as long as they're there, and as long as humans exist, your income will always be externally 'managed'.

P.S. I'm replying via this channel so it won't be derailed.

As an individual I don't have the power to shut down sites like that, but trust me, publishers aggressively pursue websites that post thier goods for free online. Sometimes its hard when they are located overseas, but they do what they can.

Just because they are there and humans exist doesn't mean that JF doesn't have the responsibilty to encourage legal over illegal uses of the internet.

I mention my income not to sound important, but to point out that real people, not faceless corporations, are hurt when people illegally download or read/watch anime and manga online.

Not to mention it effects the consumer too. The more you download the less anime and manga will be produced...People make things so they can get money...it's like 2+2.

You are absolutely right. How many have you have had a series stop after three volumes? Lots of times publishers get mountains of email saying "Why did you cancel my favorite series?!?"

"Were you actually buying it?"

I'm not saying JF doesn't have the responsibility to, I'm saying it's the way things are. Being practical and being logical are what I consider bigger responsibilities. It would be pointless for us to go an extra mile, without anything in it for us. I know it's precisely because everyone has a similar mindset, that's why we're at a stalemate. But this is reality, and in reality, "one doesn't make much difference."

Also, if it really affects the consumers, then why don't people stop? The answer is that new anime will always be made, or at least, that's how the majority sees it. It's willing to sacrifice a couple of anime endings to indulge in whole new series's, with the minor possibility it could face the same fate.

Why don't people stop? Because people are selfish. The thing is, in the music business a hit is a CD that can sell a million copies. In manga its closer to 10,000. Every time you read a licensed manga online it is as damaging as downloading 100 CDs illegally. Just a few hundred people reading a manga online instead of buying it can be enough to force the publisher to cut a serieds off early.

How many people come to JF? Still think adamantly blocking those links doesn't make a difference?

But that's off the topic.

For Blood+ fans, you should know that the first novelizatation of Blood+ comes out next week. It's a nice big book with some great secrets and finer details than is shown in the anime. Check it out! I'd love to hear what you think...

Exactly, you put your and my points across more concisely than I could have ever hoped. People being selfish is part of reality, because selfishness insinuates self-benefit. I don't mean self-benefit on a personal level, I refer to the big picture when I say that: "new anime will always be made", "willing to sacrifice a couple of anime endings to indulge in whole new series".

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid JF doesn't include the exclusive priviledge of watching illegal anime/manga if you don't register a membership.

Edited: Obtw, there are some who apparently think Blood+ = Trinity Blood. I've got baaaad news, they aren't the same, lol. xD
