I discovered this manga online on social media. The story and artwork appealed to me. I love reading vampire romance stories, especially in BL. It is one of my top genres I would read. I thought it would be hard to get as it is old and may not continue publishing. But to my surprise, copies are still available to buy on Amazon and for a cheap price of £5.
I was captivated by the drawings. It has a distinctive drawing style. It reminds me of shojo style that was popular during the 80s to 90s. However, there is a subtle difference in the panel order. The pace and the feel of the comic feel different too. You would mistake it for a Japanese manga but it actually create by a Korean artist.
For a while, I started to read a few good Manhwa comics and all of them are very good. I like the style. It feels a lot simpler than the traditional Japanese-style manga that I use to. I would like to read a good Manhwa comic.
Sooho Lee was abandoned by his parents. He had to survive on his own. His best friend from school doesn’t have much expression, he seems to be portrayed as a cool and collected guy. Sooho wants to become rich so he can win back his parents affection and get out of his bad position.
However every night, he keeps getting bitten on the neck. Then one night he woken from his sleep and saw a tall vampire hovering over him with blood dripping from his mouth.
The vampire wanted Sooho and forces Sooho to come with him to his world. The vampire however mistakes Sooho for a girl.
Sooho gets taken by the vampire into the new world and he is greeted by a small dragon servant. The dragon knew Sooho was a boy and he worried that if his master find out that Sooho was not a girl, both the dragon and Sooho would be in deep danger. So the dragon wants Sooho to be a girl to satisfy his vampire master’s needs and agree on a deal.
The story is interesting. I like the dialogue. The small dragon is cute. The scene is sensual. The art style is really good, beautifully drawn. I love the eye expression. The relationship between Sooho and The Vampire is rocky, perhaps further into the story there will be chemistry and the romantic attraction will start to blossom. I believe that would come very soon. The chemistry between them is strong. They both fit nicely together.
I personally really enjoy it. I am fascinated to know what’s gonna happen next in Vol 2. I would like to buy Vol 2 very soon. The style may seem outdated to some but I would highly recommend reading it. If you like BL vampire romance stories. This manga is for older teens. There is nothing sexually explicit but the scene is suggestive.
