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

Extra: From the mangaka of Kamisama Kiss

Opinion: Ok this is straight up an “H” smut series so my review is based on that genre. The bar is much lower.

I love the art it’s super unique! It feels rough it some ways but it really works I love it. Especially the love and care that was put into developing the male leads look.

The plot is very cute for an omegaverse series. It follows the couple through their marriage as they get to know eachother. I really loved it. The 18+ stuff was really well done as well.
