On her deathbed, the mortally wounded woman gives him a strange gem and asks him to deliver the priceless stone to her sister, far off in a North Sea fishing village.

Now the action really starts., Oct 30 2008
By Michael Valdivielso - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: Vampire Hunter D Volume 7: Mysterious Journey to the North Sea, Part One (Paperback)
Volume 7 is where things really get interesting. Everything before this was just a warm up. For the bead. You don't know about the bead? Hey, you have not lived until you understand the bead. The bead is LIFE.
Well, somebody thinks so, because people are willing to kill for the bead from the North Sea. And now D has it.
Action, adventures, wet Nobles, lots of salt water. I'm not trying to be funny, I just don't want to drop any spoilers on the first part of two parter. That's right, we end with a cliffhanger that makes other cliffhangers look like bumps in the ground.

Any native Japanese Readers?, Aug 3 2009
By W. Xia - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: Vampire Hunter D Volume 7: Mysterious Journey to the North Sea, Part One (Paperback)
I LOVE THESE BOOKS, HOWEVER, Has anyone noticed how the translator overuses the words "vermillion" and "gorgeous"? it's the only thing that bothers me about this series. If there had only been 1 or 2 books I would probably not even have noticed the frequent uses of these two words; however, by book 9, I am very very very weary of these two choice of words. Infact, I began to count how many times they come up on in each book.
If you are a native japanese reader and have read these books in japanese, how is the translation? Does Kikuchi-San use the japanese equivalent of these words in a similar fashion?

My Review for both the 7th and 8th Novels, Jan 28 2008
By Crystal Nelson "Little Impaler" - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: Vampire Hunter D Volume 7: Mysterious Journey to the North Sea, Part One (Paperback)
This story is quit complex and I can see why this is a maybe for the next Vampire Hunter D movie. It wasn't your usually Vampire Hunter D story, where the girl falls for D and seem to suffer from "Oh save me baby" sysdrome. The main girl in this story isn't your perfect beauty either. She seem to have very muscluar body, not perfect body.
The story has many characters, and one might get confuess whom is whom. Many of a times I confues Glen with D. But at the end all is clear.
D travels to fishing village called Florence, where the dying Win-Lu told D to go find her sister Su-In. There, D meets many colorful charcters. That all have plans to go after this one small bead. Yes, the trouble is over a bead. The bad guys, are back stabbing each other while they are trying to get the bead from D, which Su-In trusted him with.
I really liked reading this story, because it showed D not perfect, he is a dark hero that gets wounded and makes mistakes. Throughout half the story D fights without his left hand.
Yes, in this story, D loses his hand for a while. In this story the left hand becomes the hero and does get kidnapped by the bad guys.
As I have said, this story is quit different from the others. There's a lot of twist and turns. I am not going to say much, you'll have to read it for yourself.
