Opinion: Julietta Suzuki does such a great job great fun comedic series with excellent world building. I love the world she has made for Vampires, it’s always great to see a new twist on the supernatural genre.

The art is great. Very bouncy shoujo. I’ll admit her characters tend to look the same especially her leads but she has some cool designs for the side characters.

The plot is just fun about a nerdy otaku vampire woman. She’s just trying to live her best life but under the surface she’s a super powerful vampire. It does seem formulaic a bit in the pacing but I love it, it’s such a comfy read.

I do see this series becoming a classic like Kamisama Kiss. If you enjoyed Kamisama Kiss you’ll love this.

Final Rating: 4/5
