Blood Plus GN (2008 Dark Horse) comic books 2009

Volume 5 - 1st printing. Story and art by Asuka Katsura. Chiropterans run wild-and Saya comes into her own as a single-minded killing machine! Three months after the demolition of Red Shield headquarters, Saya is more intent than ever to rid the globe of all Chiropterans, and she travels to New York for a bloody showdown with Diva. When Diva sings, her supernatural sounds turn humans into hellish, bloodthirsty beasts . . . and what better place to start a Chiropteran apocalypse than Carnegie Hall? Desperate to kill these monsters and put a stop to the Chiropteran threat once and for all, Saya's willing to kill her loved ones and herself to achieve this goal, and her rage will not be quenched by Hagi's presence or Kai's pleas-or by a strange declaration of love. Asuka Katsura's thrilling finale to the Blood+ manga series races to a violent and heartbreaking conclusion, with her rapid-fire adaptation successfully expanding upon the original Production I.G/Aniplex anime hit!
