Volume 1 Review

Vampire lovers are time worn trope. But one I rarely tire of! Who is immune to the dual tensions of blood lust and… lust lust? Unlike other yuri stories, there seems to be a world on the periphery of this story. The edges of which bleed into the story causing delightful rifts and shifts. I am cheating a bit, but the relationship dynamic takes a surprising (and refreshing) shift into book 2. This turn sold me on the series and now I’m hooked :3

The initial romance (and romantic queues) are a bit headstrong which leaves little tension, but how the relationship blossoms really makes up for it later on.

V 2 The equality in thirst V 2 The shonen fighting

Volume 3 Review (2026-04-27)

V 3 nothing like sharing your adoration of a girl. Being infatuated with a single picture. V 3 really good representation of “why am I saying what I don’t want to say” The use of comedy and varying levels of visual fidelity is really top
