To lead up to the Blood+ anime series, three Blood+ manga series were released and published in three different manga magazines. The collected volumes of all three series were published by Kadokawa Shoten

Blood+, by Asuka Katsura, is a five-volume series that first premiered in Monthly Shōnen Ace in July 2005. It covers the same story events as the anime series.

Blood+ Adagio, also called Blood+ A, was written by Kumiko Suekane. It is a two-volume series that premiered in the September 2005 issue of Beans Ace Magazine and follows Saya and Hagi's experiences during the Russian Revolution.

The third series, Blood+ Yakōjōshi, also called Blood+: City of the Night Walkers, is a single tankōbon series by Hirotaka Kisaragi. It premiered in the September issue of Asuka Ciel. Set in Shanghai, it follows Hagi as he searches for Saya and the complications he must deal with. Unlike the other Blood+ manga adaptations, which are both shōnen works, Blood+ Yakō Jōshi is a shōjo manga, particularly of the shōnen-ai (or Boy's Love) genre.

All three manga adaptations have been licensed for release in English in North America by Dark Horse Comics.

BL? How?!
I'm all for my slash, but I thought it was going to stay that way. My non-existent slash dirty little secret. But for srs BL in Blood+, I don't know whether to redface or emo or gonk or User Image.
On another nooote, damn Haji looks good, but how the hell is he posing?
Lulz.
His legs disappeared.
I wonder if are they in the air or on a flat surface.

For those of you who are wondering where you can order this and keep up easily, this is Dark Horse.
They release the manga and novels. You should be able to find what you need.

Hahaha--I have Yakou Joushi, and I've been trying to get more of Adagio. I loooooove Haji, but I have to admit when I heard Yakou Joushi was shounen-ai, I was like, "Hoo....umm....might not read that." I love yaoi. Yes, I am a fangirl of it. I ended up reading Yakou Joushi anyways ((See how far my resolve went XD )) and oh. my. GOD. It was good. I actually really liked it.

On a side note, I love the cover of Adagio. The pose is intimate while being ambiguous, and their expressions are wonderful. <3

I'm buying it. I have too. BL and Haji in the same sentence just spawns something in me. Just thinking about it gives me the wiggles.

I read City of the Night Walkers it's more implied than actual Shonen Ai.

I agree with Siren, it wasn't too obvious that there was BL, and it took me a while to get that aspect of it. But maybe I'm just dense. wink The art in City was amazing, no matter how you looked at it, and it was a great read. I'm not a fan of shounen-ai at all, but you could glide over the topic easily enough if you wanted.
Thanks for the list of manga, Golden. ^^~

Dark Horse is translating the manga, so it's going to be manga. I don't know if they'll flip it left-to-right, but since they didn't with the Blood+ manga they've translated so far, I'm guessing they're not.

Thank you once again Golden Standard! Though the cover is kind of different, I kind of like it. I think they were trying to create a sexy pose but it just makes me think "Different" not "sexy! xd " lol!
