Over the last two weeks, I bought 5 more BL manga directly from Japan. I bought them from Amazon JP. The first order was good. It arrived in good condition it the second order, it came damaged. The packaging was not secured. The corners of the books got bent and teared. So I was pretty upset and wrote immediately to Amazon jp. They were very quick in response and issues me a full refund for the books. I felt better.
So I decided to keep them and stick to ordering from CD Japan, a better company with customer care and packaging! Their packaging and service is of high standard.
However, I did not have any plans to buy more Japanese manga for a while. I have a good range of Japanese printed manga that I feel very satisfied with. I haven’t started reading them properly. I want to do that soon, so I can talk about them in my podcast.
But I can talk about One Manga I have been reading, Platinum Blood. This manga has been released this month August. I pre-ordered that manga and I’m glad I did because it was selling out fast! I was very interested in the story and it sound like my kind of BL manga I would read. I love reading BL vampire, they are hot, sex and entertaining. It is very obvious because I like vampire anime/manga like Hellsing, if you are a regular listener you know mention Hellsing, Trinity Blood. Vampire Portrait, Vassalord in the episodes.
Platinum Blood is not what I had expected. It is actually a very romantic sweet story between a priest and Vampire. The drawing is well drawn. I thought it would have a lot of action scenes or dark, heavy, gothic scenes but its was nothing like that. It is gothic but more like cute gothic. However I did enjoy reading it, and also found some scenes funny.
I am confused about Alu, (aka Alucard) first why his name is Alucard? He doesn’t have the ruthlessness nor the dark heavy aura that a Vampire character named Alucard would be. This character Alu is quiet, reserved and definitely not dangerous. I think it would be suited if he had a different name.
But overall, it is a fun, entertaining vampire BL, I would recommend for those who love vampire BL Stories.
Note: Platinum Blood is in Japanese
I used DeepL to translate the Description:
Doting erotic life of a younger vampire and a hard-headed priest
“Al is a vampire who has been raised by a priest. “Al, a.k.a. Alucard, is a vampire who was raised by a priest. He’s a beautiful boy, but he’s not a bloodsucker.
