Kodoani.com – Dark Horse Comics has just announced that it will be released Blood Blockade Battlefront of Yasuhiro Nightow in the form of a collection on July 15. The first episode will encapsulate the first three episodes of the manga with the opening chapter of the fourth episode, E-Den of Master Fighters. Fans can be reserved at Amazon, Barnes & NOble, TFAW, local bookstores and comic book shops.
Set in the Hellsalem's Lot – Pho Pho was once called New York – the story revolves around a land trapped in a bubble that cannot penetrate, where people and mysterious creatures must coexist. In that chaotic world, the Libra organization was established to maintain order and prevent threats from the forces who wanted to break the barrier, causing the chaos to spill around the world. The main character, Leonardo Watch, a guy who owns the eyes “All-Reeing Eyes of the Gods”, decided to stand up to fight to protect the city and his beloved people.
After the end of Trigun Maximum in 2007, Yasuhiro Nightow started with a One-Shot called Bloodline Battlefront in 2008. Since then, the work has quickly developed into a short story series before becoming a long manga set . Blood Blockade Battlefront was later continued with the back of Back 2 Back and now Beat 3 Peat, the third part of the series.
The manga was adapted into an anime with two seasons, broadcasting in 2015 and 2017, each lasting 12 episodes. Funimation and Crunchyroll have streamed anime with both subtitles and voiceover, helping the series reach many international audiences. In addition, Blood Blockade Battlefront also expanded to the stage with two adaptations.
The Dark Horse Comics release of this collection will be a great opportunity for fans, especially those who have not had the opportunity to read the original story, enjoy one of the most prominent works of Yasuhiro Nightow.
