Konnici na Liriite - Chevalier Du Lys

This is the second of the world aclaimed Vampire Hunter D's series. I had already read the first in the beginning of January and I enjoyed it So two months later I started the second which I didn't find that good compared to the first. In the plus side is the main character caracterization which improved with this book. We get to know a couple of things we didn't knew before but even with this couple of good things there are a lot to discovered (or unveil). The world and the scenery is one of the best I have ever read. We also learn a bit more about the world and it's history. I really hope that the next books will give us some more info.

Now the plot; D is called to a town where the villagers think that the vampires are capable of walkin in the daylight and now they want them dead. We get to learn a bit more of that village and we learn that 4 people were abducted and returned with no memories. We get a girl (as the previous book) called Lina and she is very intelligent for her age and she has always was interested to learn about the history of Nobility. Lina follows D as they try to find out what happenend and what will happen.
The end was somewhat good even if it was preticted.

I think this book was a little different of the first both on D character (a lot more romantic) and of the female character (also more romantic and girlish). The conversations between D and D's hand is quite good and comic. (I really hope he explores them in later books)

The Translation: Well... English and Japanese are very different languages. Even if you translate english to portuguese doesn't feel right I can't imagine japanese to english. I think there are a couple of flaws but in the end it is a good translation.

The illustrations are very good and I find that Amano is excelent painter and I think he really understands D with his paintings. This book paintings and Cover were of a darker D.
