The fanservice in this one was a little much for me, to be honest, but the concept and characters are sound and interesting. It gives me a little bit of the energy of Beyond the Boundary (although that was done much better and the characters drew me in a lot more in that), and I might stick with it just for that because I miss it. I'm always a sucker for anything with vampires, so this is one that I'm watching.

This review is for the whole series; read at your own risk!

Read 3/? volumes

So far it’s interesting. Nothing too special or standout but it’s got a solid plot and I like the main characters. I think I’d like it more as an anime but I’m going to continue the series soon.

This felt like fan fiction. I was not expecting light ecchi, which was disturbing since it's a junior high school girl. Premise so far is weak, it really feels like a guy's fantasy world. The only part I really enjoyed was the sword shaman fighting (love girls kicking butt). It was otherwise gratuitous and uninspired for having potential with vampires and demons living amongst humans. At least it was a quick read.

It is a good way to find if you would like the anime made from this manga. I loved the art and it was a good recap of the first episode. Recommend people read this one.

Thanks to this book, I will never forget what these characters looked like. Mostly because every time the character enters a scene, the author feels the need to explain what they look like. Even the main characters.
