i can't rate this because i didn't pay super close attention to it but let's just say that this series isn't for me and i won't be reading more.

So, I've only watched the first few episodes of the anime, and I thought the second two episodes felt rushed. However, this volume appears to cover those episodes (along with a new scene that isn't in the first few episodes), so I don't think my issue with the anime is that they rushed it, such as I've seen many claim. It seems to be a matter of the overall writing. Reading this volume, those first few episodes don't feel so rushed anymore (at least not in terms of how they handled the anime) because other than one scene, everything else was pretty much the same.
One little problem I had with this manga was that there were times it was difficult to tell who exactly was talking on certain pages, especially if there were more than 2-3 characters in a scene.
I don't believe I'll be continuing the manga. Simply put: this is a case where I'll just watch the anime and be satisfied with that (plus, I personally enjoyed what I saw with the anime more than the manga). This isn't bad or anything, I just don't read manga much anymore. I have to really adore a manga from volume 1 in order to continue reading the series.

Actual Rating: 3.5*
Interesting but some parts were confusing (re: contracts) and this led to me asking more questions rather than just enjoying the storyline. I really like the characters and am looking forward to watching them progress as the story continues; however, I would also be okay with some of them staying exactly as they are. I feel like there is a lot more that could have been explained in these first couple chapters and that they were really rushed. I didn't really get a feel for the characters and their motivations outside of our two main leads and that makes me question why anything is even happening. I do think it's cool that the servamps are based on the seven deadly sins though! I'm definitely going to continue with this series.

To be honest I had to read this twice. I gave only 4 stars because I was kind of confused and it seemed a little rushed. But nonetheless I loved this book and ordered the next one!
Mahiru's runs across a stray cat that everyone's passing up, not caring. Next thing he knows this cat, Kuro as he named him, is a vampire. A lazy vampire, but still a vampire! Oh but here's the twist on these vampires, they're servants. If they drink the blood of someone then boom that's their master.
So Mahiru's not to tempt Kuro for 24 hours, for he may have made a temporary contract with Kuro. But as most things go in the 24 hours something happens which causes Kuro and Mahiru to form a contract with blood.
Mahiru's launched into a world of servamps, masters, and more. A bored villain decides to create some amusement for himself he's going to start a war. Killing vampires and humans, it doesn't matter to him.
The servamps are labeled as the seven sins, Kuro just happens to be the sloth sin. To Mahiru's disappointment that means Kuro's lazy and just wants to remain at home. The two are total opposites which makes for an interesting contract.
Mahiru's simple, simples what he likes and prefers, life just got complicated, add in a lazy vampire and another who's the sin of Melancholy. This villain merely wishes to have something that doesn't depress him and a war is the solution.
Mahiru's on a high horse riding into battle while Kuro's whining to stay home. I'm excited for the next book! Even though it seemed a little rushed I did enjoy it and rereading some parts. I want to see where these two are going to end up, not to mention a cliffhanger at the end of the book.
Some language and there are some scenes with a little extra skin. No clear genitalia, but some cleavage and a shot of a guy's vertical smile.

Richtig gut hat mir der Zeichenstil gefallen. Auch die Idee um die Servamps und ihre Eves fand ich interessant. Leider wurde alles sehr langatmig erzählt und es konnte mich daher nicht fesseln. Das Ende hat nochmal richtig überrascht, aber weiter lesen werde ich wirklich nur, weil ich den zweiten Teil bereits zu Hause habe. Den gab es damals im Bundle mit Band 1.
