Gothic horror manga Recommendations? Halloween is approaching, and I am starting to have a craving for a manga series with a vampire/supernatural gothic horror theme. I just don´t know any, besides Vampire Hunter D! Can anyone recommend anything? I adore the Castlevania art style and I´d love to have something similar.

There's always Hellsing...or maybe Vampire Knight?
I don't know if either one of them are gothic, per se and they're both very different in style and story, but I read them both, when I get a chance...

Hellsing is definitely an awesome read, and I think you might like Hell Girl . Not sure though, since I don't actually know you... XD
Hmmm... these titles mostly seem to have "Hell" in them...
Oh--there's also Bizenghast , an American manga. I think it's kinda cheesy, but maybe you'll like it. A classic title to pick up would be Bride of Deimos . It's old, but awesome. Princess Resurrection might be good, but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet. Neither have I read Godchild , but I hear it's pretty decent.
Hope that helps, and yes I have a life outside reading manga

Actually...yeah, totally forgot about Godchild....that's *super* gothic in nature, lol.
I think the Godchild series is actually also a bit of a sequal to The Cain Saga...

I keep trying but I can't think of anything not mentioned. But, Godchild is great.

Eh? I didn't know that. Is the Cain Saga available in the States?

Yup. Pretty sure Viz publishes both...

I don't think Magnetic Rose's manga , was ever translated, but I might as well bring it up. I searched for scanlations, but I can't find anything.
