Végre ​megérkezett a világhírű D, a vámpírvadász-regénysorozat mangaadaptációjának oly rég várt harmadik kötete, melynek történetéből a D, a vámpírvadász – Vérszomj című animesiker született. A vámpírvadász, akit egyszerűen csak „D”-ként ismernek, és híres arról, hogy a kard útját járva teljesíti küldetéseit, most újabb vérdíjra pályázik. Ezúttal egy falu gazdag elöljárójának leányát kell megmentenie, akit elrabolt egy vámpírnemes, Mayerling. De mi van, ha egy másik fejvadászcsapat is elvállalta ugyanezt a megbízást? A hírhedt zsoldosklán, a Marcus család feje, Borgoff, a legidősebb fivér pedig nem csak a lány visszaszerzését tűzte ki a törvényt semmibe vevő, kíméletlen martalócokból álló csapata elé. Az ő céljuk maga a pusztítás: mindent megsemmisíteni, ami a pénz megszerzésének útjában áll, beleértve D-t is. De Mayerling talán mégsem egészen az, akinek látszik… Hogy elég időt nyerjen és lerázza üldözőit, illetve elérje titkos úti célját, egy biztos menedéket nyújtó falu felé veszi útját, melyet rettentő képességekkel megáldott, számkivetett mutáns szörnyek laknak. Mi áll az emberrablás hátterében, melynek áldozata, úgy tűnik, mindennél fontosabb számára? Tényleg rablás, vagy talán valamiféle különös leányszöktetés, „vámpír módra”? Lehet, hogy ez a vámpírnemes több annál, mint amit látni enged? D-n áll, hogy kiderítse az események mögött meghúzódó valódi okokat, és az idő egyre fogy. De ha ennyi akadály tornyosul előtte, vajon képes lesz időben odaérni, mielőtt a „szép fogolynő” mindörökre eltűnik? Takaki földöntúli és álomszerű képi világa újabb magaslatokba emeli Kikuchi vízióját a dörzsölt és sztoikus vámpírvadászról ebben a Rómeó és Júlia-jellegű mesében, amely a méltán nagy sikerű D, a vámpírvadász-regénysorozat harmadik kötetéből készült.
