mehsi's review against another edition

Re-read 2021: This was so much fun! Kenta finds out the truth about Karin, we see how Karin got her powers and learn a bit more about them, and there is plenty more. I really enjoyed reading this one, this series is so great. Quite a few more volumes to go, but libraries will be closed until March 15th, so guess I got plenty of time. Haha. XD
---------------
So far it still follows the manga as I remember it. Really good manga volume. :) Can't wait to read more of this manga.

We left Volume 1 when Karin bit Kenta's mother, which Kenta just happened to witness. Kenta still has no idea what Karin did to his mother, but he knows that she's different. Better, in fact. She's never been so cheerful or had so much energy. Kenta is in the odd position of liking his mother's new attitude and also wishing she was acting normally.
Meanwhile, Karin is still drawn to Kenta's blood. And since she is most drawn to people who are unhappy, she figures that the best way to keep from biting Kenta is to make his life as joyous as possible. So she's super nice to him, offers him her lunch, etc. But still they keep having awkward collisions where Kenta witnesses Karin's vampiric oddities.
The highlight of this volume - and I imagine this series - is Anju, Karin's little sister. She is a stereotypical goth at 11 years old. Even though she is younger than Karin and hasn't grown into her vampire powers, she always gets her sister out of scrapes. She is always drawn as thin, dark, and serious, and always carrying one of her creepy talking dolls.
This is such a weird series. It is just interesting enough to keep me wanting more. It's not really a "cool" weird, but rather an "urgh...what was that?" weird. At times it is cheesy and at other times it's rather creepy (there's a high school prostitution subplot line). I don't know if I'd recommend it, but since I've started it, I want to keep going for at least a little while.

I wasn't sure if I would keep reading it after the first volume, but the second one did keep me hooked. An easy read and entertaining.

I am hooked, a vampire who injects rather. Than drinks blood and is opposite from her family what is not to love.

Kenta is super suspicious of what happened between Karin & his mother that day in the park so he is determined to find out what is going on. Meanwhile, Anju is leaning towards telling Kenta everything he needs to know to help her sister.
Karin is a mess, but luckily she has her sister to help her out. However, we know that Anju is worried about when she becomes an adult vampire and won't be able to help clean up Karin's messes!

First read sometime in 2009/2010.
Reread June 3rd, 2016. Silly and fun to read. I love the art style and the characters. The art is very cute. The idea of this story keeps you interested.
