The conclusion of the Hokuto/pre-festival arc is here. Action, excitement, a battle, a childhood friend, and much more!

Review (volume 8-10) to come with volume 8 (https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/352622506)

So I got spoiled straight away but since every chapter is pretty much episodic, it didn't affect me too much.
This volume was quite fun. I enjoyed it a bit more than I have been recently. Perhaps that's due to the big break I had in between the last volume and this one.
The end battle of the first chapter was pretty pathetic and the rest to follow felt similarly so, but I've come to expect that. Nevertheless, it was fast entertainment.
I was stopped short from the sudden vulgar language and the constant threat of sexual abuse to characters, both of which I obviously don't like, but the latter seems to be a strange desire in this series...
The last chapter in this volume gave me déjà vu. I must have read that randomly before.

Anyway, it was enjoyable for the most part!

Pick it up, give it a go and enjoy ^^

Rosario + Vampire is one of those mangas that constantly keeps me engaged and throws all sorts of fun and inviting characters at the reader.

I seriously adore this series! It is mountains full of fun and it just keeps giving us more. I didn't think I'd be this engaged continuously in a manga, but this book did it! I cannot wait to try to grab the second season once I finish through the last book of this season.

In this volume we are introduced to a whole bunch of parents. They all seems to think Tsukune is gonna be marrying their girls in no time. It's awkward, hilarious and cheesy but it worked well! Throw in another bad guy vampire (one you might not expect) and a few plot twists, and you've got yourself one fun plot! I also like how Tsukune and Moka's relationship appears to be growing even stronger! Hopefully we see a little bit of happily ever after for them soon.

Overall, this manga series is a must read in my books. It's delightfully fun! Sure, it has some immature humour but that is what gives this series its charms.

Four out of five stars.

I really liked this volume all the way up until the last chapter.

Even though it's definitely a harem series, Tsukune and Moka have so much agency towards each other and the plot. The side characters *cough*Kurumu, Mizore *cough* can be really annoying at times, but they do occasionally show some good qualities.
SpoilerKurumu helping Moka in that previous volume, and Mizore recognizing Tsukune's discomfort in this volume.


But the last chapter started to show signs of incest between cousins, which is completely unnecessary and stupid. Tsukune literally has five other girls pining over him, and the last thing we need is a sixth who is also a blood relative of his. It's not needed at all. Unless you're going to take a serious jab at confronting a heavy topic like this, ahem, Game of Thrones, then don't do it for pure shits and giggles. Just don't.
