The following are Japanese Graphic Novels–Manga. They are all about vampires, either vampire hunters, or love stories with vampires. There are many more Graphic Novels about supernatural creatures, and vampires specifically, but these are a good sampling of vampire manga that are available. In many of these titles, there is a war between good-and-evil or humans-and-vampires, and sometimes that war is internal, as in Interview with the Vampire.
