Synopsis from Goodreads...
The masked ball has ended, but the music plays on. As Noe and Vanitas return disgraced from Altus, the curtain rises on a new battle. News of kidnapped curse-bearers sends the pair to the catacombs beneath the streets of Paris, where a melody of intrigue echoes and a superhuman foe awaits! Humans or vampires: Who will be the hunter, and who the hunted?


Beginning: "All too easily, memories of the beginning summon memories of the end."

56: "It's Tarte......Tatin!"


Comments: I finally got around to reading the third volume of The Case Study of Vanitas. I really enjoyed this volume, and I'm looking forward to reading the next one sometime soon. What are you reading this week?

      So far I'm really into the story. The world is a fascinating one, and Mochizuki's take on vampires is shaping up to be one of my favorites. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend!

      I know what you mean. I've only read three volumes so far, and there have already been plenty of moments of reflection about the past (just like the beginning of volume 3). Thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend!
