@Kineta I haven't read the original manga, but manga resources seem to imply that this is a girl-oriented ecchi with classic tropes for such work. I'm even curious what it will look like in the end.

I'm really happy to see TokiShun get more main roles, but I never would have wished this on him :') Unsurprised to see Umehara though, poor guy lol. Hoping for a "it's so bad it's good" outcome...

@RedChrome Vampires in the modern sense originated as a metaphor for repressed sexuality in Victorian culture (for example, the archetype of bisexual and lesbian vampires is already found in the two very first and largest works of the genre), so you just can't write the genre work without it.

I recently read the manga for this! The manga is simulateonously the straightest AND gayest thing I have ever read.

I didn’t expect that, having received the role of a shy tomboy, Kana-chan would sound like Suletta again.
