***Attention***: the main character is a priest vampire, and his maybe-will-be-his-lover is a nun (I’m not saying if they will be or not lovers, or would spoil the story). So if your are a catholic maybe this manga is a little blaspheme (my mother hate it when I told the plot). But if you surpass this religious problem (at the beginning, after everything little at time changes) you will love it! Why? The graphic is not an Yoshitaka Amano level, but is really good, and it’s funny! So funny! I lau More...

Yes, this is a vampire book. I've been pretty sick of vampires, but this story is so much more than your average bloodsucker story. There is an anime based on this series, but it goes in a very different direction, completely veering off the storyline here. Anyway, it tells the story of a postapocaliptic world in which the vampires and humans are at war. In the middle of this is the Vatican in Rome, which now stands as a spiritual center as well as peacekeeping entity. Enter Abel Nightroad, a si More...

Amazing graphics, artistry and storyline. The heros/heroine of this story series are vampires and rogue vampire hunters, nuns and "saints."

As a first series of this type of graphic novel, I found this one just beautiful. I'm collecting all the books. Just love Abel Nightroad, "An absentminded, destitute traveling priest from the Vatican's secret AX organization....His job is to arrest law breaking vampires. And, he takes 3 lumps of sugar in his tea." He's gor More...

Trinity blood takes places in a pst apocliptic world were vampires and humans live toghther. the storie senters around a war between the vapires and the catholic church. the main charactue is the simingly absent-minded Abel Nightroad.

Now THIS sort of crap is the exact reason I never really got into manga. Trinity Blood has it all -- an disjointed mix of cutesy and angsty; random characters who do random-ass things; fight scenes that make no sense and leave the reader completely lost; dialogue that sounds like it was written by a machine; the most cliched "war with vampires" premise combined with nonsensical innovations . . . Wow. It's almost worth reading just to see how utterly horrible this is.

This manga is amazing! A friend of mine introduced me to it a few years agoa nd I have loved it ever since. I own 1-4 and eagerly wait to get the rest! Anyways Abel Nightroad is awsome along with Tres but this manga is my taste of vampire. I'm a writer myself and Abel Nightraod is what I picture of what a real vampire can be. If you love vampires and action and of course the art this is your type of manga!

I read the first two books of this series and was not very impressed. If I want Catholics vs vampires, I'll stick with Hellsing. The art of this series was a bit muddled and sometimes I couldn't tell which character was which or what had just happened. That said, it wasn't terrible and perhaps people who really enjoy action manga will like it more then I did.

I liked the story line and the art is beautiful, but sometimes the art was simply TOO detailed. There was a couple of parts were I didn't understand what was going on because I couldn't depict what was person, motion, or background in the picture.

Loved this and have re-read it many times. I loved it so much that I quickly bought the rest of the series and eagerly await more. Abel is just and awesome character but the art is beautiful and funny as well. Especially Tres.

Honestly it seems like a good series but I just couldn't get into it. Maybe too much action right away? Maybe I am in the wrong mood? Anyway the artwork is gorgeous! I just didn't like where it was going.

The art in this series is drool-worthy! The plot is sometimes complicated, but each character's story is heart-wrenthingly sad. It makes you wonder time and time again, who can you really trust?

A great series, I saw the manga and they are quite different and similar at the same time. Hoping to read more of these. I should probably add that there is a lot of Christian and Catholic symbolism in these books. Interestingly it seems to be a parody on the age of feudalism (lets say 10th to 17th century). The humans seems to be symbolic of Europeans while the vampires are supposed to be people from the middle east. Has a very intriguing and immersive world, but the first book doesn't bet very More...

I liked it, in a post-apocalyptic vampire war manga. I loved it, even though it is moderately gory and a little against religion.

Harvinaisen sekava väkivaltapläjäys, joka asetti jälleen kerran manganlukutaitoni vakavasti kyseenalaiseksi. Loppua kohti juoni alkaa löytyä.

I was somewhat reminded of Trigun (the main character at least had a similar personality), but overall it was just okay. I'd probably get into it if I continue to read it.

Trinity Blood definately has some fan service built into it, but don't let that fool you. There is a very complex, deep, angsty plot involved. Even it hasn't shown its full face in the manga yet, and I'm on book 10! They don't make chapters fast enough for us!

Trinity Blood is your classic vampire style manga with a twist... I won't give it away, but it's very interesting!

Talk about an interesting series. This one is about a perpetual war between the vampires and the human’s. Esther the nun crosses paths with the Priest Nighroad who is sent from the Vatican to combat the local vampires. Since it was the first volume many things surprised me, it had some twists and turns I didn’t expect.

This book is the first of the series. Abel Nightroad is a priest sent to protect the Vatican from a series of Vampire attacks. He meets Esther a nun on a mission and draws her into the fighting as well. Lord Gyula continues to attack and thus draws us into book 2 of the series.

Comienzo algo genérico pero entretenido para oootro manga más que arranca normalucho y se va poniendo interesante con el correr de los tomos. Cuando lo vuelva a tener a mano seguro agregue algo más para nutrir la reseña.

Well, it was pretty confusing and I didn't know who people were half the time, but aside from that it was fairly entertaining. I wouldn't say I'm "into" these type of books now, but I'm still glad I read it. :)

Vampire story always give me thrills. I like this book simply because a lot of politic intrics and history about vampires. Those who like to add some knowledge about vampires might be interested in this book.

So good!! Engaging and good for a few laughs. Abel is a good character even if he switches instantaneously from goofy to assertive. Tres is funny in his rigidness. Good!

I loved the art. It was so beautiful. However, I did not understand the storline that well. I hope I will understand as I continue to read though.

There's a good story in here, but both art and plotting were too chaotic for me to follow easily.
