Midnight Secretary, Vol. 1 by Tomu Ohmi
3.0
I adore vampires, romance, and shoujo/josei, so naturally I'd eventually read Midnight Secretary, and boy do I have thoughts. Like what on Earth is this, and why do I want to keep reading it??
At first I wasn't really vibing with the "story" (quotations because there's barely any story to speak of), or the characters, mainly the love interest. Office romances are very hit or miss with me, sometimes it's fun and interesting, and others it can feel very dull. Sadly this was starting off in the latter category, and that's mostly because the MC doesn't have much that she desires for (other than looking mature), she doesn't have any ambitions or anything like that really. She wants to be a good secretary, and that's basically it. That's not super compelling honestly. And the love interest is a self centered, arrogant, douchey womanizer (and also a vampire). So yeah, not exactly things I enjoy.
However, by the time I finished chapter 5 (the last one of volume 1), I was left wanting more.... For whatever reason I'm a bit invested on their story, especially if there's the possibility of the love interest becoming more likable and more endearing.
Something that I don't have much room to complain in, is the art. It's quite pretty, and very detailed (something that is almost always present in shoujo), and the spicy biting scenes are very good.
So I suppose I'll continue on in this series, wish me luck!
