I've been on a vampire kick recently, and this is just fueling the flames. Definitely skims over important information I wish they would've focused on, but I loved the art and enjoyed the story nonetheless.
This review is for volumes 1 to 8.
Vampires are my weakness, so of course I had to read this one too. It was a nice and fun story, very cliche, but I don't mind it. It was interesting up until they got engaged. After that, I lost interest in the story, and that's why I'm leaving it at volume 8.

What happens when a girl, dressed as a boy, becomes the thrall of a vampire? Will her life get better? Or not?
Meet Mito, a girl who is dressed as a boy/acts like a boy. For safety and all that. One day things just go from worse to worse and she meets Ruka. A vampire. He is interested in her. Especially due to her bad tasting blood and a friend saying that maybe Mito is unloved (it is not untrue) and that giving love would help out. Well, Ruka is up to the challenge. Oh if only he knew that he was still fanging a girl, because he thinks Mito is a boy. Even takes her to his dorm and let’s her stay there. YUP. I really like Mito from the start, I feel for her. I want to give her a better and happier life, after all that happened she 100% deserves it! But I wasn’t a fan of how she hid the fact she was a girl from Ruka. Ruka who is just so gosh-darn honest and sweet and just wants the best for his thrall. I just hope that this whole situation gets resolved soon. Because they are getting closer and closer and it is clear they really like each other. I don’t want this to explode and create drama or hurt.
I really was amazed that our vampire (and well everyone around Mito) still has no clue about Mito being a girl. I guess it helps that she looks pretty boyish (though I immediately spotted she was a girl) and that her blood is disgusting (I know that only goes for Mito, haha, unless there are some other vampires lurking around in that school).
Then there is boy in the picture, he is a bad boy who knows about Mito (thanks to karate/judo practice and a slip of the hand). I am not sure what to think of him. And you all know how I feel about love triangles. Generally I hate them. A lot. I think it is kind of cute he is so protective of Mito… but also kind of creepy. Especially since Mito clearly has stated numerous times that she is OK. That she doesn’t need help. I hope that he becomes less protective and maybe becomes more than a white knight/the extra pawn in the love triangle.
But why would you wear a wig (which may fall off, though for some magic manga reasons it doesn’t) when you can just cut it off? I would have done that. I can imagine that for her maybe it is a way to be herself, but it is just so much effort. XD
Oh, and the scenes were Ruka is drinking from Mito? swoon It was just so sexy. Haha, I hope that this doesn’t sound wrong. XD
I loved the art, but then again it is Ema Touyama and I adore her style.
Well, I am so happy I got this from the Google Play store! If I can get the other volumes I will definitely be reading on, because I need to know how the story will continue.

Read on KManga. The story seems pretty trope-heavy but I found myself binging through it.
This is a wonderful start to a new (to me) manga series!
I can, unfortunately, understand why a beautiful gal would want to dress more like a boy to try to minimize the male gaze. (It's disgusting, for the record, that a woman can't feel comfortable with her own body because men want to ogle her.)
With that said, I enjoy how Ruka wants to help Mito, in exchange for blood. It's a good set up that is made more interesting by the fact Mito is a girl. In this universe, that can spell disaster for Mito unless she's his fated partner.
The cliffhanger at the end is a little doozy on Mito's behalf, so I'm curious on what will come of it in volume 2!

This was a pretty good first volume. It's full of tropes, but it applies those tropes in an enjoyable manner. Poor Mito just can't seem to catch a break, but she's pretty good at rolling with the punches. I like how she does what she needs to get by and asks questions later. Ruka's reveal of why exactly he doesn't want to be involved with any human girl was quite funny. I don't really like the guy who's trying to control Mito and get her away from Ruka because he's trying to take away her agency, but I'm still looking forward to where things go from here.

It’s giving slight Ouran vibes… but with hot vampires. Say less I couldn’t ask for something better
