Interesting take on the Dracula story. This takes place at a prestigious all boys school in England. Our main character is Mina who is the first girl to ever attend the school.
The first Volume introduces our core group who are honestly not very likable. I'm hoping as the story progresses we will see some character development and some changes in their demeanor.
I thought having Lucy from the original Dracula be a boy in this version adds an interesting element to our story.
As others have said the art in this is really beautiful and extremely detailed. My biggest issue is with the way the faces are drawn. I find the eyes to be weird and especially in the beginning section on the Demeter it makes all the characters look strange and sickly.
But the rest of the book is beautiful to look at, there were some pages I didn't want to stop looking at.
Will be reading the rest of the series.
