The cast of Blood Lad returns in the second collection of short stories and four-panel comics from Kanata Yoshino! Tour Demon World's unique array of cuisine, fashion, and magical mayhem with Staz and the crew!

The vampire Staz is one of the most powerful district bosses in the demon world, fending off everyone who dares challenge him. But secretly, the fearsome Staz is obsessed with human culture, especially video games, manga, and everything that comes from Japan! When a Japanese girl wanders into the demon world, Staz can't wait to meet the human and learn everything he can about her world. Unfortunately, before he's able to ask her anything, the girl is killed by one of his would-be usurpers, leaving just her bare soul behind. Staz vows to help the girl restore her body and return to her former life-especially since it means taking a trip to the human world himself!

Imprisoned in Liz's Toy Box, Staz is surprised by a visit from his older brother, the very man he came to Demon World Acropolis to seek out. But Blaz hasn't come to help Staz unlock the secrets of The Book of Human Resurrection. Instead, he's come to release Staz's true vampire powers, the very magic Blaz sealed away years ago by putting a bullet through his little brother's heart. Staz's strength is needed to conquer a terrible threat that has appeared in the Demon World, and once again Staz finds himself a pawn in his brother's game. Unless he confronts this terror, the secrets of his brother's book will remain a mystery and Fuyumi will remain a ghost - if she doesn't disappear entirely first!

When Fuyumi is captured, Staz and the others split up to try to look for the missing girl. Saty's power of sight, Bell's space-bending spying, Liz's crystal ball, and Staz's old-fashioned detective work lead them to their culprit: Bell's younger brother?! Like his sister, Neru has dimension- warping abilities that have allowed him to whisk Fuyumi away to a room contained within his magical cloth. Caught between family and friends, will Bell help Fuyumi return to Staz, or will she plant herself firmly between them . . . ?

Staz may not be the best at understanding Bell's and Fuyumi's feelings, but by facing his fears, it seems Staz is growing up! Meanwhile, Braz is set to execute the plan of bringing down Akim.The siege of Akim steadily continues on!

With Akim threatening the Demon World, territory bosses Wolf and Staz must put their heads together with the local authorities to find a way to stop the piecemeal madman. Even working together, they're as short on ideas as they are on time! Akim's minions, cobbled together from the most dangerous bits and pieces of defeated demons, are proving to be more than a match for any who dare stand against them. Saving Fuyumi may have to wait on the back burner for a while - Staz has to save the Demon World first!

Unwilling to let anyone just waltz away with her little girl, Neyn sends Team Fearless - a crew of vampire slayers - after Staz and Fuyumi as they make their way to Demon World South. Team Fearless has never actually taken down a vampire, but they're looking to make good on their name and 'save' Fuyumi... But for a hostage, the girl seems awfully eager to stay at the vampire's side... Has she fallen for the vampire's charms...or just for his blood?!

Using Staz's powerful magic, Braz has successfully resurrected his father, Richarz, former king of the Demon World. Staz is furious that his brother has swindled him yet again-with Staz's blood and Braz's efforts going toward resurrection research, Staz and Fuyumi are back to square one on restoring her human body. But more pressing than Fuyumi's precarious state is that of the Demon World! When the dust settles, will a vampire or a werewolf be sitting on the throne?!

At long last, it's the final battle against Grimm, the very first king of Demon World Acropolis! Can Staz find Grimm's heart in time and defeat him, or will this be Staz's last stand?

It all comes down to this--two insanely powerful hybrids duking it out for the fate of the Demon World. Herrschaft Grimm, the first king of Demon World, versus Fuyumi Yanagi, the little ghost who could. With the strength of all their friends behind them, can Fuyumi and Staz save the day? Find out in the FINAL VOLUME of Blood Lad!

When I open my eyes, I find myself in an unfamiliar car, in an unfamiliar town, in front of the on-ramp to an unfamiliar highway. Before I can process any of this, I see the fiery explosions of multiple car crashes in the distance, and without thinking, I stomp on the accelerator and race toward the scene. I soon find that I’ve driven straight into hell at full speed with no brakes, just like everyone around me...! In the midst of this insanity, I discover the corpse of a girl, and suddenly I know-I am the brilliant detective. And I must solve the mystery of her death.

The bizarre serial killer who crashes her victims’ cars while riding inside them strikes again-only this time, her target is one of the field analysts pursuing her! And just as the Wakumusubi stolen off this latest victim picks up a fresh drive to kill, Hondoumachi takes a turn diving into the murderer’s deadly psyche, leaving Narihisago free to investigate this new id well. What awaits him there is something he should never lay eyes on, and the experience may push him past his breaking point...

Not only has a Wakumusubi been stolen from the Kura, but now a mysterious group of masked men has abducted the “suicide princess,” Mana Tsurumi, from their custody too! As the sheer scale of this real-world conspiracy begins to take shape, a new brilliant detective is born within an id well. Will the hint they provide lodge deeply enough in Narihisago’s subconscious for his Sakaido persona to bring the truth of Tsurumi’s well to light?!

Der Showdown rückt näher. Staz und Wolf erhalten die letzte Trainingslektion und treffen auf Burgundy. Indes müssen sich die Kämpfer der Schwarzen Liste zusammenraufen. Das ist schwieriger als gedacht und letztlich ist die "sanfte" Hand Neyns nötig, um sie auf den richtigen Weg zu bringen. Aber reicht ihre geballte Kraft, um Akim, der immer häufiger von Grimms Persönlichkeit überwältigt wird, aufzuhalten?

Der Kampf zwischen Akim alias Grimm Herrschaft und den Kämpfern von der Schwarzen Liste beginnt. Doch zuvor trinkt das unbesiegbar scheinende Monster unwissentlich Vlads Blut, in der Annahme es sei ein Gift, das ihm sowieso nichts anhaben kann. Damit beginnt ein wahnwitziger Wettlauf mit der Zeit, um Akim zu retten, Grimm Herrschaft zu besiegen und die Dämonenwelt doch noch zu retten! Welche Seite wird am Ende überlegen sein?

Vlad flieht mit Grimms lebenswichtigem Herz und der Unterstützung von Staz und Co. durch die Dämonenwelt, um Grimm zu entkommen. Doch dieser hat bereits einen perfiden Plan, um die Truppe auszubremsen. Vielleicht ließe sich das Blatt wenden, wenn auch die schwächeren Dämonen alle zu den Waffen greifen und das mächtige Magiewesen attackieren würden? Daddy Wolf startet jedenfalls einen Aufruf. Doch wird dieser auch Erfolg haben?

Staz saugt Magiekraft von allen Dämonen der Dämonenwelt ab, um die finale Attacke gegen Grimm auszuführen. Kann er die gesammelte Energie kontrollieren und reicht die Menge aus, um Grimm das Handwerk zu legen? Und was ist mit Fuyumis Wiederbelebung, wenn er scheitert? Das packende Finale von Blood Lad
