Bloody Mary has a good plot and so far its plot seems to be really well planned out so that's a plus.
The pace of the story is fast, which I like. I don't advice reading all chapters in a row because there's a lot of information at each chapter but it's hard to stop reading.
Unlike MAL says on the genre, this manga so far isn't a shounen-ai.
The art is STUNNING. Just look at the cover.
Bloody Mary is such an adorable character, it's impossible to not love him too.
The only complaint I have is in term of character names because three characters are called "Maria" and

So first of all don't be expecting a typical BL love story just because of the shounen ai tag!
This story does have romance elements in it but is super light on the shounen ai I would argue it's almost non existant entirely and could be described more of a platonic love story all in all. Plot and artwork go really well together and I have to say that it's definitely one of the best vampire stories in the anime&manga genre that I have read. In the beginning there are a lot of things that don't seem to make much sense but it gets clearer the more you ... Oct 22, 2017
This is going to be a crapy review but, I just want to state out a few points.
I have only read around the first three volumes but I plan to read more This manga so far kinda skirts around the shounen-ai a bit but don't let that stop you from reading it! It truly is adorable and there is a hint at there being a deeper story with the two characters having memory problems ~ <-- (hope I didn't just take that from someone else's review) Also I would like to state that the art is absolutely wonderful! I love a story when the vampire ... Feb 20, 2018
As the English release is two weeks away and I sit sour, waiting for it, I thought I would take to writing a review for the series thus far and what I expect the ending to be.
Generally speaking, Bloody Mary is not especially unique or groundbreaking. The story borders on predictable, with enough deviation to keep it interesting. Although the plot itself doesn't offer much in terms of twists, turns, and unforeseeable events, the pacing and tone of the story work well to keep the manga a page-turner. The characters have enough complexity to make them interesting and given its genre, they tell a ... Aug 28, 2024
Like a lot of other reviews have mentioned, it's not really a BL. It's definitely supposed to be implied, though. I think the blood drinking scenes between Maria and Mary serve as an allegory for romance between the two characters... It's not really supposed to be a classic romance, or present romance in that way. But the plot is pretty good, although it gets confusing at points (a lot happens quickly), and I like it a lot. I think it's an interesting take on vampire mythology, and it's worth the read. For me, the art is definitely the main draw, though. But don't go into
