Trinity Blood

THERE ARE 3 DIFFERENT ADAPTATIONS: Mostly they all are the same story, however things such as names, situations, roles, and people, have either been removed, altered, rearranged, or changed in some way.

If you want order, the Novel would be the one for you, being that it is the Original brains behind the other two. The Novel came first (written By:Sunao Yoshida) then it was adapted into a Manga which later was followed by the Anime Series.

The artwork also differs from all three versions, as the character designs were each created by different artists.

I do have to add though that the Author Died, and his friend has continued it, or at least is in the process which could explain why I can't find the remaining novels and manags for sale anywhere
