Vampire Dormitory 1

Product Information

This is an interesting one. It's got some serious boy love vibes but it's not actually a boy love manga. It seems to be making its way to a love triangle manga. I tell you manga and love triangles go hand in hand, and as long as they are done well, I love a good love triangle. The illustrations are gorgeous as well. I really enjoyed it. I will be continuing on with this comic as soon as I can get my hands on the next volume. Vampire Dormitory starts its story with Mito, who has been abandoned and lived her life as a boy on the street as a means to stay safe after graduating from middle school. She was then saved by Ruka, a vampire, who took her to reside in the boy's dorm after an indecisive effort to kill herself in exchange for becoming his vampire thrall. It was a pretty classic smuttier manga with tropes of cross-dressing and reverse harem (with quite beautiful man specimens)…and…oh yes…vampires.🧛 A digital ARC of this book was provided by the publisher via NetGalley for review. All opinions are unbiased and my own. When I first saw the cover of this manga, I never would have thought this vampire story would look like in this way. It was unique and unexpected. The art work of this manga was really pretty, but the plot and storyline itself felt a bit rushed. Well I know that in first volume you have to make reader intrigued to read others volumes as well. No matter this fat it still was too fast for me.

Vampire Dormitory - Penguin Random House

stars - still really enjoying this, but there seemed to be a lot more info dump/plot complication in this volume. The art is still fantastic and the characters are fun (vampire otaku is a concept that warrants an entire spinoff). I also have trepidation about the overall narrative - I’m hoping for some twists but this whole thing currently reads like I can see the ending coming from space.I LOVE this manga. The art style is beautiful and the story is my catnip. I love a good woman-disguised-as-a-man trope, especially when there's a bit of a love triangle involved. This has slight Ouran High School Host Club and also Hana-Kimi vibes in that Mito is a very cute "boy" at an all boys school. I love the added vampire element, and the reasons Mito needs to keep pretending to be a boy. There's a bit of a comedy/rom-com element in this, as well as some really hot scenes where the leads' hearts go ba-dump. Just love it entirely. Anyway, I really enjoyed this!! I’m a huge fan of the protective relationship and the two have this going on hardcore. Super cute!! The secretive drama and then Ren thrown in, it’s basically a soap opera. And that is so much fluffy adorable-ness that I can’t stop myself from liking this. There are many reasons you should read Manga online, and if you are a fan of this unique storytelling style The main character is insufferable. She is so dumb, naive, and ignorant that it hurt my brain. The male lead is even dumber. There is a second male lead who is taken advantage of by this main gender bender princess.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review.* The art is pretty for the most part, but that's about all the praise I have. While Mito's situation is heartbreaking, the story doesn't dwell on her hardships and it feels like it's just there for the story. This is disappointing as Mito's situation could provide an interesting discussion on homelessness and how callous people can be towards homeless individuals, but NOPE! Can't have any of that depressing stuff in our smutty shoujo romance! Let's just throw her into a dorm bursting with "hot" guys and move on! Trigger warning for attempt unalive, slight blood, and sexually suggestive content in this manga. Slight spoilers (I didn't include anything that wasn't already mentioned in the synopsis but it is still a bit spoilery for those that don't like to know anything.)Mito is out on the streets. No job, no money, and no place to stay. After being saved by a vampire named Ruka, Mito agrees to be his thrall. Ruka tells Mito that he's been looking for a boy like him for some time now because he won't feed from a woman. Which would be fine except Mito is a woman. She disguises herself as a boy to help her survive being homeless, and now she is too desperate to let him know that she's a girl. Meet Mito, a girl who is dressed as a boy/acts like a boy. For safety and all that. One day things just go from worse to worse and she meets Ruka. A vampire. He is interested in her. Especially due to her bad tasting blood and a friend saying that maybe Mito is unloved (it is not untrue) and that giving love would help out. Well, Ruka is up to the challenge. Oh if only he knew that he was still fanging a girl, because he thinks Mito is a boy. Even takes her to his dorm and let’s her stay there. YUP. I really like Mito from the start, I feel for her. I want to give her a better and happier life, after all that happened she 100% deserves it! But I wasn’t a fan of how she hid the fact she was a girl from Ruka. Ruka who is just so gosh-darn honest and sweet and just wants the best for his thrall. I just hope that this whole situation gets resolved soon. Because they are getting closer and closer and it is clear they really like each other. I don’t want this to explode and create drama or hurt. Manga those limitations don't exist. So if you want the best selection and you also want to save money then Vampire Dormitory was written and illustrated by Ema Tooyama, the manga author behind Missions of Love. It began its run in the Nakayoshi publication on October 2, 2018. Despite the series only having three volumes, everything about this manga is promising enough to warrant a read.
