Bad Blood

Bad Blood is a special anthology volume comprising four distinct short stories that primarily explore the formative years of protagonist Kouji Nanjou. The collection opens with "Kouji Nanjou Version," offering an intimate look at his early life, followed by "Bad Drug" and the titular "Bad Blood," which further examine the experiences and challenges that shaped his character during his youth. The final story, "Zodiac," rounds out the compilation, presenting additional narrative depth within this focused exploration of his past. Rather than following a single continuous plotline, this volume serves as a curated examination of Kouji Nanjou’s background through self-contained narratives. Each story provides unique insight into the events and relationships that defined his younger days, allowing readers to understand the foundation of his persona beyond the main series. This structure makes the anthology an essential companion piece for those seeking a comprehensive understanding of his history and personal evolution.
