While this anime is enchating at times, it is essentially Buffy with an effiminate vampire boyfriend and the badguys from Twilight thrown in. Think Buffy for the eleven year old set - you know, when girls want non-threatening, effiminate boys as their boyfriends.

This is more like a 3 1/2. The art is great, but not too much happens in volume 1, just an intro of the main characters and villains. As usual with YA series, you have to buy the next book to find any resolution.

Not really my thing, but I'd hand this and [book: My Dead Girlfriend] to any of my regular library dwellers who enjoy the fun goth (and/or vampire) stuff!

First in the Vampire Kisses manga books.
Readers familiar with Raven and Alexander from the Vampire Kisses series will most likely enjoy the manga version as well.
Goth-girl Raven and her vampire boyfriend, Alexander, find four fresh graves in Dullsville's local cemetery. Raven discovers that the gang is lead by Alexander's half-vampire cousin, Claude Sterling. Claude holds a grudge against Alexander and he's come to town to get his revenge.
A brand new adventure and some new characters mean that you don't have to read the main series first. I'm not a huge fan of manga, but this story translates well to the medium. The story is entertaining and the art is gorgeous.
