Mignon

Underneath the bright city lights lies a bloodied arena bursting with frantic screams and roars. Strong men engage in boxing matches for money, while their audience desperately hopes that their chosen participants will bring them fortune. For the young rising star Mignon, there is only one place that is an escape from the chaos of the ring and his tough life. Mysterious underground doctor Oh Young-One offers his services to injured fighters, and the wide-eyed Mignon finds solace in his quiet infirmary.

Young-One is gentle and caring, always tending to Mignon's wounds that mainly come from the cruel world beyond the boxing ring. However, the doctor hides a taboo secret about himself. In a rare moment of carelessness, he exposes it to Mignon, putting his life in immediate danger. Even though Young-One warns Mignon to keep his distance in order to protect him, Mignon remains stubborn and refuses to abandon the one person who makes him feel as though he truly matters.

Oh my goodness gracious me. Saw the youtube trailer years ago and wasn't even sure it was ever going to be released. Happened upon it this week. My good god, this anime has an amazing premise - vampire doctor & boxer??! Interesting, unique and gorgeous scenery and art style, GREAT music - synth and jazz? Hell yeah - plus - MY GOD - that sex scene??
Not much makes me blush but wow, yes, this sure did.

I think the story was really unique, especially among the genre - and I loved that sort of sci-fi, slight apocalypse vibe? while still having the traditional vampire character... Lots ... to love about this series, really happy I found it again.

Great fun,
LOVED IT!

Mignon is simply AMAZING, and you ABSOLUTELY should try it!
ABJ did a great job again! They're the same studio that produced Hyperventilation, and now Mignon, who have an beautiful animation, ofc in some points its quite strange, most of the times when have a difficult perspective, but even with some errors, its so incredible what they did! The music, the atmosphere, everything makes me fall in love with this anime since the beginning.
The story is a good and simple, the characters don't have a big development, but i fell in love with them, mainly with Mignon who have a BIG Charisma! Everything is worth in ... here, and even with some lower points, its so enjoyable that doesn't bother you.

Anyway, give a try on this, its beautiful and really short one! If you need a place to see, you can find it on the ABJ's Vimeo!

I will brave the Fujoshi hate and deliver a more unbiased review on this anime. For the record I am not familiar with Korean anime, but have read quite a bit of their manhwa... of the BL smut variety.

I read the words 'vampire' and 'boys love' under information and was immediately intrigued. I was soon slapped in the face with disappointment. I feel that there's such a desperation for LGBTQ+ romance that the genre has become over-saturated with cliched, mediocre, immature and rather unhealthy relationship depictions. MAL describes this as erotica, its not, its smut. This anime is a cut and paste of many BL ... smut manhwa plots. If I'd known this going in I may have been a little less critical, after all the hentai genre is not exactly award-winning. Which begs the question: why does this anime have such a high MAL score?

Mignon is the cliché tearful abused dude, Doc is the cliché emotionally unavailable vampire dude. A reusable story unfolds. Very little actual relationship building. There is crying. There is noisy kissing and formulaic sex. The fact that Doc was a vampire was a wasted opportunity. Parts of the animation is pretty, but its obvious there was a limited budget as they rely heavily on still shots. The music was forgettable. Each episode is about 4-5 minutes, why not simply make it into a short movie? Part of me that wonders if this was a straight relationship would there have been more budget.

If you're thirsty for an animated gay sex scene just go to the last episode, if you have expectations of an actual BL vampire story carry on looking.

I think I've sh*t on this enough, 5/10
