action
It's about the young girl Kiyo Katsuragi, who moves into a house that is inhabited by two vampires . The vampire Kuroboshi falls in love with her and wants to make her his fiancée so that only he can drink her blood. Kiyo keeps him at a distance for the time being, but they get closer at the school ball. When one day she takes a part-time job , Kuroboshi is anything but enthusiastic. In the restaurant, the good-looking vampire is swarmed by all the female guests, which, however, does not particularly interest him, he only has eyes for "his" Kiyo. But the two stick together despite their envious people.
publication
In Japan, the manga first appeared from May 2004 to March 2005 in the Hana to Yume magazine published by Hakusensha . The chapters were later published in two edited volumes:
- Volume 1, ISBN 978-4-592-18856-8 , published December 18, 2006
- Volume 2, ISBN 978-4-592-18731-8 , published September 19, 2007
It was released in English by Tokyopop in 2009 . In 2010 it was published in French by Glénat and in March and May of that year in German by Tokyopop. It has also been translated into Chinese.
reception
The series was ranked 9th in a reader poll by about entertainment in 2009 for the best new shōjo manga. The German magazine Animania calls the story much less complex than that of the genre star Vampire Knight and very simple. The main characters, "the mysterious Bishonen vampire, the heroine battered by fate and the bizarre butler sidekick", are well-known and stereotypical. Nevertheless, the series is suitable as “break reading feed” for fans of the romantic vampire genre.
