Recently i just read this series and find it interesting and nice. I recommend more people to try this series. The author draw the manga very well such that when you read it, you can't stop reading. Such is the intensity and atmosphere of the story. This manga is drawn by Koji Matsumoto(松本光司) and serialized on Young Magazine(週刊ヤングマガジン) published by Kodansha. This manga is for seinen(18–30 year old male audience) as it contain some violences. The content is filled with blood scenes, nudity, vampires, monsters, fighting, rescues and escapes. The manga now had 23 volumes in Japan.



The story is about a group of friends went to one small isolated island(called Higanjima/彼岸島) in search of the main character Ming's brother. Ming's brother had been missing for 2 years and there is clue of him being on this small island. They first get the news of his brother on the island through a mysterious girl. This mysterious girl had a guy beside her and the group of friends find out that the guy is actually a vampire. After lots of shock and surprises, the group of people manage to kill the vampire. So, one day after their secondary school graduation, thinking that there is only 2 vampire on the island, they went on a search to rescue Ming's brother. They reach the island and Ming find his long lost brother and as story goes on Ming find himself living on the island and becoming stronger day by day.
