Description
Tsukihime (Japanese: 月姫, lit. "Moon Princess") is a Japanese adult visual novel created by Type-Moon, who first released it at the Winter Comiket in December 2000. In 2003, it was adapted into both an anime television series, Lunar Legend Tsukihime , animated by J.C.Staff, and a manga series, which was serialized between 2003 and 2010 in MediaWorks shōnen magazine Dengeki Daioh , with ten volumes released.
Several other related media have also been released, including the bonus disc Tsukihime Plus-Disc , a fan disc Kagetsu Tohya , and the fighting game series Melty Blood. Story concepts and characters shared many similarities with other Type Moon's series The Garden of Sinners , and the two were also subtly connected. A remake with updated art and story was announced in 2008. The first part of the remake, Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass Moon , featuring a rewritten and expanded version of two of the original routes, first released in Japan on August 26, 2021, and will be released worldwide on 2024. The second part, Tsukihime: The Other Side of Red Garden , was teased in a secret unlockable trailer in A Piece of Blue Glass Moon. Melty Blood: Type Lumina , a fighting game, was released worldwide on September 30, 2021 as companion to the remake titles.
