Honestly didn’t know what to expect from this at all but I definitely enjoyed it! A very alluring twist on the Dracula novel, with beautiful artwork to complement it! I did feel that it jumped around a little but I can’t wait to pick up the next volume!

Not bad tbh, but I felt like I did not knew what I was reading. Probably gonna buy the next one anyways since the style is so beautiful.

It’s very hard to review a volume of manga as it’s just a small portion of a much larger story. However…
The artwork is absolutely incredible and was the first thing that drew me to buy this series.

The volume as a whole is actually quite confusing, flitting between characters/settings very quickly that I had to go back and see if i had missed anything.

Confusion aside, all the characters definitely have their own personalities that I can’t wait to explore in future volumes.

Mina seems to love Lucy, who is the Luke’s nighttime persona. Trans maybe? From what I gathered, Luke/Lucy was bitten by the demon dog at the cemetery and turned into a vampire.

I’ve already started the second volume as I’m eager to learn more about the characters and what become of them, and maybe it was clarify a few things for me when it comes to the story. But so far, so good. I just can’t get over how amazing the artwork is!!

Spotted this gorgeous hardback manga at b&n recently and had to check it out on Libby. The art is STUNNING, so many full two-page spreads of hyper realistic art. The story is a bit lacking, but the art makes up for it. Bonus points for unexpected queer characters (I think??) Can’t wait to read the other volumes and hopefully get a little more details lol
