Even a reluctant hero can’t refuse the last request of a beautiful woman. On her deathbed, a mortally wounded woman gives Vampire Hunter D a strange gem and asks him to deliver the priceless
stone to her sister, in a far-off, North Sea fishing village. D’s journey is made ever more perilous by a series of scoundrels and rogues hired by the woman’s murderer — they’ll stop at
nothing to claim the jewel. Will they catch him? Hideyuki Kikuchi’s crackling narrative and Yoshitaka Amano’s imaginative artwork make this a must-read entry in the series.
