I haven't read any vampire romance or vampire shojo in quite some time, so I thought I would give this one a try. This used to be my favorite, go-to type of manga 15 or so years ago. I just kind of got burned out on it. This was a refreshing take, while feeling familiar at the same time. The art is simply gorgeous and the whole vibe is so gothic and atmospheric. I'm interested enough in the mystery surrounding the vampire men, the forest of thorns, and Stella's doppelgänger to check out the next volume. A solid dark romance manga!

Thanks to NetGalley and Viz ... for an advanced digital copy to read and review.

Just bought the first 4 volumes of this manga and i can say it was worth.
This vampire goth manga has an amazing art style and a pretty dark story. It's considered a reverse harem manga, but the MC has eyes for only one guy (the one she meets first) and that's why i think this would appeal to more people.
I feel like the author rushed a bit on other parts of the story, where she could have portraited the character's personalities more. They seem kinda bland and it's a big turn off sometimes.
I feel like the author could collaborate with other mangakas just on ... the art part and create amazing stories with amazing art. Like the author of Kaguya did with the author of Kuzu no Honkai, creating a masterpiece.

I recommend the manga if you liked Vampire Knight, if you like goth themes and romance manga.

now I didn't finish the manga, but I didn't need to. you might think hey! you have to finish it to give an honest review! for this kind of manga? no.

if you like pretty guys, reverse harem, diabolic lovers dumb trope, or more so a self insert, sure go fucking crazy go bonkers! (cause all the characters are so vague you can see yourself as them)

I read the first chapter with just being bombarded with pretty guys that are vamps, I read the comments on the site I read and all you can see is "S+ Tier Art. Trash story." "This art is god tier, ... holy shit but damn is it wasted on this story." obvious red flags but I marched on. too learn my own lesson. ◕⩊◕)

only for everything to live up to what people said, shamee. despite how good it looks don't go into the light!
