I own both books, but... aren't there supposed to be more? Was it cancelled?

There was supposed to be a Vol3, but yes, it was cancelled.

A shame, too. I thought it was pretty good, and vol. 3 was supposed to focus on Trevor.

Huh, I heard they were somewhat bad. ;_;

Probably better than the Belmont Legacy comic books, though.

I think it had a lot to do with the fact that it was a manga based on a game that was deemed by most reviewers as "mediocre".  It had a lot going for it and actually told the story in a somewhat intriguing way. Sypha even made a small cameo in it as Trevor's wife, so I was hoping they were gonna tell something of what Grant's been up to, also.

The manga was great but vol 3 would have told more. And I was eagerly awaiting that until it was cancelled.

I wonder if that Ted characer was ever going to pay off somehow. Like, I suppose maybe he was going to show up when the manga was going to directly adapt the game's plot or something?

(Hello I'm new around here a fellow Castlevania fan here lol)

I own both manga and I was still wondering what happened to the rest like didn't we get Vol 3 or did it really stop there and the events from the PS2 game take place or something......

The manga was intended to continue with volume 3 focusing on Trevor. However, it was cancelled, before the story could ever properly lead up to the main game's events.

I really liked it, too, and I honestly thought it was better than the Kojima manga that was included with the game in Japan (though I liked the art in Kojima's better). It's a shame, cuz it would have been nice to see more of Trevor, since he was the coolest character in the game.

picking up where vol 2 left off sounds like an interesting spot for some fan fiction.  maybe following a novelization of the manga.
