Ahhhhhh Jeanne oh how I love her. And Vanitas is so adorable. And Noe, my poor baby Noe 😭. This is getting so good and on to the next volume I go.

I definitely enjoyed this volume more than vol 3. We get some insight into Vanitas's past,

Spoiler

and we learn the vampire of the blue moon is a woman!

but I think it's pretty clear it's not the whole story of Vanitas's past. More of a extended glimpse or lengthy teaser. The majority of this volume is pretty dark/serious, but the last few chapters offer a lighter atmosphere

Spoiler

with Jeanne going on a date with Vanitas

. I already had a feeling a certain character

Spoiler

Ruthven

couldn't be trusted and we get two big red flags about this character.

There is one thing I don't like about this volume and that is the cover. Don't get me wrong, both the art style and colors are beautiful. However, I'm not a fan of how Jeanne is being portrayed on it.

dark mysterious

oh this that S tier shit 🥵🥵
however I don't like Vanitas, everything about him and Jeanne gives me the absolute ick 🤮🤮
meanwhile Noe and Vanitas are drowning in chemistry, call that a brOTP. I mean, barely any time has passed and you're already saying things like "That face! Please stop making it!! Seeing you like that makes me angry!" Or Noe always protecting fragile human Vanitas but yeeting him around sometimes and [N]"...It's all right. We can win this." [V] "'If we're together,' you mean?" they were so hot here. Vanitas leaning on Noe's back when they finally get outta the catacombs, not him trusting/depending on someone he kinda barely knows???? i do despise him, but I like him by proxy through Noe. Also them living together in a hotel room?? and they were roommates I'd gladly read a whole volume of them bickering and shit like an old married couple. When Noe fell on the floor while sleeping and Vanitas told Amelia "Yeah, I wouldn't go near him. He'll make a hug pillow out of you." Speaking from experience there Vanitas? 😏
I adore Noe, he is so kind wholesome green flag gorgeous.

I was so "no no no" when Ruthven showed up and then when he bit him i was like "all HELL nah" how much you wanna bet the one order is gonna have to do with betraying or even killing Vanitas

And y'know what I kinda like that twink mfer Roland too.
When Vanitas clocked out bc "No 71" his "younger brother" was mentioned...and then blue-eyed Mikhail shows up at the end...it has to be? right?

posso dire che la trama è abbastanza complicata ma mi devasta lo stesso ok
