The dragon was hype as hell I’m ngl. Also lol is this going to turn into a “3 men(er well two men and an genderless monster) and a baby situation that’ll be hilarious. Although knowing this comic it’s going to end up tragic isn’t it…

More enjoyable than the last volume. But the bit  attempted SA subtext of Dunward “having his way” with Guideau pissed me off like can we not do this. I have no sympathy for this character he sucks.

Vampire witch powers are so stupid fun. No thoughts just hype fights for me

Also waiting for when the mangaka will acknowledge queerness being yuri bait fetish lol

The vampire world was cool i guess but couldn’t distract from how this volume was slow as hell that would’ve been forgiven. 

What I can’t forgive is the weird ass hell incel misogyny that jumped out of nowhere “men are stronger than women, women need a strong man to lead them” was fvcking disgusting. 

And I don’t trust the manga to make it seem that was just a flaw of Dunward considering NOBODY challenged him on this or told him he was being sexist. This didn’t seem like a bad character having bigoted beliefs this felt like the AUTHOR has gross thoughts about women. Also that line about “it’s bad when women dress like men” wtf is this shit. 
And the worst it that it came out if NOWHERE up to this point there has been no gender politics or even acknowledgment of gender differences at all so wtf. Damn it TWATB i trusted you, you were doing so well not falling into the usual gross manga-isms, fvck. Like i can tolerate to an extent when manga pulls nasty shit it’s unfortunately too entrenched in the medium but at least let it be known early on and not drop it when I’m actually invested 😭. This has genuinely soured by enjoyment of the series 

Also the reviews calling Dunward a “sexy vampire” lol lol sorry but I don’t find bigots/misogynists sexy

The little backstory segment for Angela was fun if a bit meandering. But damn those demon designs were sick as hell they felt straight out of Berserk. Another thing I liked is Oscar’s character he confirmed something about the nature of [REDACTED] that I suspected, so he was a nice addition. Oscar bby get a different partner lol drop that incel bloodsucker 😂 you deserve better!

It’s pretty standard seinen/shonen fair but i like the art style and the setting is cool. It’s also doesn’t pull any creepy manga staples. Which makes me more lenient than if this was a western comic or regular book

It was so boring I wasn’t invested and too “Mantasy” for my tastes. Also extremely unoriginal
