Thank you to NetGalley, VIZ Media, and Kotoyama for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Ko has insomnia. When he goes out for a late-night walk, he meets a girl named Nazuna who offers to help him sleep. Ko's world turns upside-down when he finds out Nazuna is a vampire. Ko decides he wants to be a vampire too. There's a catch, though. To become a vampire, he has to fall in love with one and have his vampire love drink his blood! Ko is on a quest to fall in love with Nazuna, but love is more complicated than that.

I am not a huge fan of the art, but I thought the story was cute. It's similar but different enough from other vampire stories to give it a certain level of interest. Ko isn't too interesting, though Nazuna seems to have some secrets surrounding her character. I'd like to see what happens to Ko and if he ever gets hi wish.

Much of the dialogue was missing from this copy so I can’t really give a honest review. I couldn’t even follow what was actually going on. Sorry.

I was intrigued by the story and the cover. The story was mysterious and interesting but the artwork reminded me of Tim Burton's work with less life to it which doesn't really work for a book in black and white in my opinion.

Eh.. this manga was just alright. While the art and cover are pretty cool, the overall story was kind of boring and plain. It won't be one that I continue.

Unfortunately I am not sure how I feel about this new series. I feel like there isn’t a lot going on in order to sustain this series.

Ko has insomnia and no longer cares about school, so he decides to take a walk one night. He meets Nazuna who shows him how fun the night can be. She invites him back to her place, but instead of having sex with him she sucks his blood. Nazuna is a vampire. Ko is a bit weirded out at first, but then he accepts what just happened and decides that he wants to become a vampire. There is only one problem: to become a vampire, you must first fall in love with one and Nazuna hates the l-word.

This was boring.

It’s a shame because the art and character designs are so interesting. It was the cover that initially drew me in, and I thought it would be more gothic than it was. While the art was pretty, the lack of plot was a disappointment. It’s just two people who meet, the girl happens to be a vampire, they hang out... and that’s all it is for a few chapters. There were a few gags I didn’t really care for. A plot finally came up towards the end, but I had checked out by then. It’s a bad sign if a plot shows up towards the end, and it was a love triangle. Big nope.

I think I was expecting something more from this, but for what it is it’s not enough to keep me interested.
