'Sweet Blood, Volume 1' by Seyoung Kim is my first experience with manhwa, which are basically Korean style manga. The stories can be just as weird, apparently.
Suho is a high school student, but, at first, it's not clear whether this character is male or female. This causes some confusion as you are reading it, but I think that's intentional. Suho is visited by a creature of the night who seems to like his blood. When that creature kidnaps Suho and carries him off to it's lair, Suho has to pretend to be a female or risk losing his life. Apparently the creature, or vampire, is attracted to women, but repulsed by men. As long as Suho can pull this off, and his blood remains full of flavor, then he can stay alive.
It's just a weird premise for a story. It's kind of funny, but then there is a kind of horror element over the whole thing. Suho doesn't seem to care if he is a boy or a girl, but worse, he doesn't seem to care that he is the bloodbank for a vampire. The art is good, but I just didn't care for the story.
I received a review copy of this manhwa from Diamond Book Distributors, NETCOMICS, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this manhwa.

Other than the fact this wasn't what I was expecting at all, it was a pretty decent manga. I've read some yaoi before and found them much more engaging but this had some good bones. I think the youthfulness of Suho is what bothered me the most. Children (even teenagers) having sexual encounters isn't really something I'm into.

I really like the author's drawing style.
It is the story of Suho, a poor high school boy, left by his parents to find money and who is struggling to live on his own. Meanwhile he is attracting a demon king who really loves his sweet blood. The demon decides to take Suho to his kingdom to keep him as a blood giver however he thinks Suho is a girl!
It is an interesting story, I must say that after reading Boy Princess I thought I would get bored of this kind of plot (which seems to be recurrent for this artist) but no. I was surprised by the rebellious attitude of Suho, completely different from the atmosphere in Boy Princess. And I have to say I love the dragon he is so cute!
