Basilisk
In 1614 AD, the 19th year of the Keicho Era, wretched deep within the Edo Castle, loyalties lie in a twisted socio-political tangle. In penitent disarray, the rooted partisan siding with Hidetada’s heir and first-born, Takechiyo, fear the untried insurgence backed by those devoted to his younger son, Kunichiyo. If this treacherous rupture goes unresolved, the whole Tokugawa kingdom will be torn apart, leaving the high-priced samurai to battle for a new heir. But, Lord Ieyasu won’t allow the Tokugawa samurai to perish when mutant ninja’s can be spared at no expense.I t h a d a l r e a d y b e e n d e c i d e d.
Trinity Blood
Five hundred years ago, Armageddon nearly destroyed Earth. Predators ravished the weak and the remaining survivors, barely clinging to life, were desperate for just one shred of hope. Out of a vanquished world the Catholic Church arose from the ashes, only to be wrought with deception. But an enemy far worse than corruption, lingered in the darkness. Vampires, a ravenous creature that only existed in nightmares, now walks among men... waiting to feed on the blood of humanity. With their quintessential mission, mankind has only one objective… the coexistence of the living and the undead.
