Rosen Blood, Vol. 1 by Kachiru Ishizue
4.0
I received an eARC of this title through NetGalley in return for an honest review.
This was an interesting start to a manga series. The main character gets saved from a carriage accident, but all of that happens before the book starts. The main character, Stella, then asks to work for the men who saved her. Through her misadventures with them, she learns they may not be human.
I liked the concept of this manga and the art is well done. I think the only thing that I kept asking myself in this first volume was, what exactly is happening? There are moments where, as the reader, I was just confused about. Like, why does she just accept that she can't go anywhere? The story doesn't really go into other than making the reader assume she has no where else to go. Also, the way the characters are introduced are a bit choppy at times.
However, after saying all that, it's a decent start to a first read. If you enjoy vampire romance type manga like Vampire Knight, this is definitely a read for you.
