List of Blood+ light novels

This is a complete list of volumes for the two Japanese light novel series released as part of the "Blood+" series. "Blood+" started as a fifty-episode anime series produced by Production I.G and Aniplex that originally aired in Japan from October 8, 2005 through September 23, 2006. In conjunction with the anime series, Production I.G commissioned the creation of two series novelizations. The first, also named "Blood+", written by Ryō Ikehata with illustrations by Chizu Hashii, is a four volume series and the official novel adaptation of the anime series. It expands on the events of the anime and gives greater background information on the battle against chiropterans.cite web |url=http://www.darkhorse.com/profile/profile.php?sku=15-113 |publisher=Dark Horse Comics |title=Blood + Volume 1: First Kiss (Novel) |accessdate=2008-04-04] cite web |url=http://www.blood.tv/comic/index.html |title=Blood+ Game, Comics & Novels Information |publisher=Production I.G |language=Japanese |accessdate=2008-04-06] The first volume was released in Japan on May 1, 2006 by Kadokawa Shoten under their male-oriented "Sneaker Bunko" label. The remaining volumes released every four months until the final volume was released on May 1, 2007.

The second adaptation, "Blood+ Russian Rose", is a two-volume series written by Karino Minazuki and illustrated by Ryō Takagi. It was released at the same time as "Blood+", with the first volume released on May 1, 2006 and the second on September 1, 2006. The series, published under Kadokawa's more female-oriented "Beans Bunko" label, details Saya and Hagi's lives at the start of the 20th century and the Russian Revolution.

Both novel series have been licensed for release in English in North America by Dark Horse Comics. Dark Horse released the first translated "Blood+" novel on March 19, 2008.cite news |title=Dark Horse Nabs 'Gantz' Manga, 'Blood+,' 'The Color of Rage,' & More |url=http://www.icv2.com/articles/home/10864.html |publisher=ICv2 News |date=2007-07-05 |accessdate=2007-12-16 ]
