Dance in the Vampire Bund

Just a grat manga overall, from the characters to the story itself.  Even though it has a dark and mature main theme, it also can be comedic and light at times; especially with the Dance with the Vampire Maid chapters thrown in.  I was however upset for a split second with the ending because it was a cliffhanger making me want to know what happens with Akira, Yuki, and Mina; but then I found the sequel Scarlet Order (which I am currently finishing up).  This is also one of the original mangas that got me into reading mangas back when I was a teenager; and even though this manga has been around since 2005/2006, the story, art, and just everything about it makes this manga stand above most manga (in my opinion) even today.  Definitly worth a read, will not be disappointed.

I find this story very heart warming. The story is about bonds, either it's friendship, love or blood-pacts between vampires. Each and every volume is good in it's own way but in some cases i find it hard for Yuki since she also loves Akira but now it seems like her love was never been important in the first place since everything revolves around Mina. I hope in the upcoming series she will also get some central role in the story arc and become a more important character.    Still there are many mysteries to uncover from the first arc, which i think will be done in the upcoming "Dance In The Vampire Bund 2 - Scarlet Order". The design of characters and the story execution feels great.

I am a massive fan of this series, including the spin of stories "Memories of Sledge Hammer" and "Dive in the Vampire Bund". The story, for me, is character and plot driven in equal measures. For instance Princess Mina can be hard and cruel, but also has a compassionate side to her. All the main characters have this pseudo-duality about them, which makes them more endearing and more interesting. The plot(s) of the series make you want to keep reading (evidence of which is my purchasing the omnibus editions also, so I can read for longer without putting the book down as often), Each plot line delineates a character or characters and it is this that creates a compelling series that, I feel, will be read for a very long time. Tamaki Nozumu is one of my favourite manga artists. I have read many of his publications and will continue to do so.
