The plot is all over the place and everything was just about miscommunication and assumptions. It was also weirdly obsessed with cheating, there was a subplot, where everyone thought Mario was cheating because (view spoiler)[someone on a dating website used his photo on the profile (hide spoiler)]. And even aside of that, people were constantly talking to Riichi all "Oh I bet Mario is cheating on you. Haha, just joking." Yeah, that wasn't funny even the first time ... At least the sex was hot, but otherwise? It should have been an oneshot......more

While I really like the setting of a blood market that had a bit of cyberpunky feel and some ideas were unique in a nice way, some ideas just left me wondering what the author was smoking (view spoiler)[A vampire turning into a pterodactyl??? Really??? (hide spoiler)] Sotetsu feels contradictory, yet I'm also not sure about that (view spoiler)[He constantly asks how does his blood taste, even asks Mozu how to make his blood taste better, and then he does everything in contradicting to what might improve its taste. What is your goal here sir? (hide spoiler)] The end left me kinda confused about what the hell just happened, but I suppose we will get more explanation on that in the next vol. What brings the biggest confusion here, though, is the translation itself. It's horrible. Really, really bad... There are points in the text that made me break my brain twice over trying to figure what the person meant. And then I looked up a fan translation of these parts and lo and behold, it made so much more sense! The meaning was often even completely different than what was in the 7S version I held in my hand! I feel like I would have better chances understanding the originals with my broken Japanese than the sense the 7S release made...
I will leave it without a star rating for now and will see if I get to read the next two vols. I will not be getting the 7S releases though, that's for sure....more
