This manga is perhaps one of my favorite romcoms out there i would like to call it a underrated but it would fall flat in regards of that knowing how many people actually enjoyed it but this is not a circlejerk and i like to be fair with the manga that i love and why should you the viewer give it a chance The story is rather simple the MC discovers that the cool beauty of his school that he is in love with is actually a vampire while trying to confess his love to her he of course being the fool nice person he is he safeguards the secret and tries to help her not be discovered fair enough you might say but then little by little the main character finds out that the particular school he is in has... a lot of weirdos thats basically it theres really no overarching plot or anything like that... upto a point. This manga suffers from something called mood whiplash several moments where everything is rather light and they throw you a curveball on the story and then all of a sudden you want to know more of course... not everything is good and dandy the story can be rather slow at the beginning and will totally be a turn off for people but my recommendation for this? just keep reading till you get to the principal of the school she is one of the best part of this manga and highlights how funny it can get which brings me to my next point the comedy. As comedy is rather subjective i cant really tell you if you might like it or not but i can say for sure that i almost pissed myself laughing at this manga the comedy relies on different aspects one of them being the art if you have seen grandblue then you might be reminded of it the usage of silly/weird faces is an staple of this manga and it shows a lot while also giving contrasting tones on how the mood is but it can be tiring at times which is completely fair one thing about this is the repetition certain gags will get repeated at times but let me tell you the gags are the best thing about it it it may also lean into the straight man comedy in which theres only one sane person in the whole manga a.k.a the protagonist which is not the favorite genre for everyone. The characters are one of the backbones of this manga everyone gets development along the way in a surprising fashion as theres a good quantity of them normally speaking you would think that with the lenght of thiis manga they wouldnt dare to pick a girl for the protagonist until the very end well i have a rather nice surprise for you buddy the romance and how much it affects other love interests gets explored if i were to pick my favorite character it would be the principal she is one of the few characters that certainly elevates this manga a lot in terms of comedy and overall silliness in general the flavor or the weirdness of them will charm you as a viewer and it tries to make as relatable as possible. The art is perhaps one of the greatest roadblocks of this manga as art is subjective you might not care but this is perhaps one of the things it gets criticized the most the initial art is rough it tries to be semirealistic but almost all of the characters end up being kinda of off this is somewhat fixed later on and almost everyone ends up with less rough edges which works for the comedy aspect and it apparent by how much i enjoyed it. The last arc and ending is perhaps one of the best things about this story and i am delighted to be one of the few people that saw it end when it did and with that out of the way i can honestly tell you i recommend this story and i personally have ti among my best reads of all times.
