Board Thread:New on Blood+ Wiki/@comment-31936641-20170506200240/@comment-1503835-20181212182328

I bought the book through Amazon Japan and it took maybe a little over a week (I'm East coast U.S.)

I just finished "reading" the new novel using Google Translate (it's not the best, but I got the general idea of the story) and was really glad to get some questions officially answered!

Without spoiling too much (in case it ever gets published in English), it follows Kanade and Hibiki as they face a new threat similar to the Delta-67 conspiracy from Blood+, and shows how both of them learn of their true nature as chiropteran Queens. There are some new chevalier as well, though one is not exactly what he seems to be. Finally, a bunch of characters make a return in the book, including Mao, Kai, Lewis, Mr. David, Julia, Lulu (I almost cheered out loud at her reappearance), Haji (yes he's alive) and Saya (in a weird way).

As far as their personalities go, they somewhat mirror their predecessors. Kanade is more outgoing and a little bit self-centered, and doesn't do great in school. Hibiki is more introverted, gentle and thoughtful, and is much more academically oriented.
