This is a gag manga about a deadpan human and her silly vampire roommate. Super fun premise, super pretty art style with good personalities and designs. Which is what made me really disappointed by this! I feel like it had the setup to be great but failed to be anything. It feels too comedy heavy in the first book and too plot heavy in the second. I personally didn't care much for the slice-of-life but really enjoyed the plot where the more romance-centered stuff happened, but the only other review had the opposite opinion so you'll get one either way.

Don't really expect anything satisfying coming ... from this, either for a romance or any true development, though the ending is VERY cute. You'll get a few great moments but not anything serious. As a warning, there is a bit of fan service which gets a bit weird and unnecessary in the second book. In any case I don't think you should expect it to be great, it's a 2 volume, very small series to begin with, but if you see it somewhere and want to grow your yuri collection I think it's a pretty addition.

Read this if you are looking for: A vampire-ish gag manga with a dreary setting.

Recommendation: Pass

“Hungry For You – Endo Yasuko Stalks the Night” follows impoverished high school student Shizue and the mysterious titular Yasuko, who may be a vampire, a serial killer, or just a really weird girl. With the recent disappearances of three girls and Yasuko being the primary suspect, much of the plot revolves around discovering Yasuko’s true nature. In volume one, though, plot often takes a back seat to comedy, and this manga is indeed at its strongest during the more slice-of-life gag manga chapters. With Shizue agreeing to be Yasuko’s ... “emergency rations,” the two main characters aren’t particularly compelling, but they're quickly joined by Texan vampire hunter Ashley and her jealous employer Akira, who immediately become reliable sources for a good joke.
As the story goes on, the comedy and drama unfortunately begin to undermine each other, as the mysteries surrounding Yasuko aren’t given serious weight, and the gloomy tone puts a limit on light-hearted fun. When all is finally revealed, there isn’t much of an impact, and the plot-heavy second volume sputters along all the way to the end. Yuri fans won’t find too much in this series until the second half, and romance is not really a factor until the very end.
