Hackneyed and Disappointing
As a Castlevania fan, I've come to love the video game series for it's simplistic, cheesy yet engaging story line of "Slay Dracula; rinse and repeat." I've played and own all of the Castlevania releases and still do to this day--all of them from the arcade classics to the games released for the newer consoles of today. If I had read this manga before ever playing a Castlevania game, I would have never given it the time of day.
In the new manga based on the Castlevania: Curse of Darkness video game, a young boy becomes the focal point of Dracula's war on humanity... In a small village near the Romanian border, young Ted waits for his father, a mercenary in the war against Count Dracula's demon army. Little does he know he is to become the center of a battle between two of the Count's most powerful generals...

I have yet to read it, but I am a big fan of the Casltevania series. But, by what my friends have told me, this book is perfection to just telling you what happens before the actual game play starts.

Perfectly done manga. It sets the story up perfectly for being the first in the series. It had just enough action to keep me wanting more. I cannot wait until January when Vol. 2 comes out. I hope this series goes for many many volumes. Anyone who wants a good manga should definently pick this one up, whether you're a fan of the series or not.

I read the book, how Roselee looked was dissapointing...I was expecting her to look more like Julia when she looks more like Bishop Laura from Trinity blood...but it was a good manga overal

I was sooo excited when I found out that they were releasing this!!! I can't wait, I absolutely love the Castlevania games and the artwork here looks really impressive, can't wait~! I agree with DARKSWORDSMANSOL as well, I think they should make a Symphony of the Night manga too, that would be....AMAZING! *_*

I loved the character designs but hated Hector's slow running.

Eh. I don't know if it's something that would be good in manga form. I LOVE the Castlevania games and franchise, but I don't know about manga. I'll reserve judgement until I actually read it though.

I've seen a little of the untranslated version and the artwork looks very nice. I would have ordered it too but this saves having to translate it myself. Send it over to England soon Tokyopop!
