Review of Rosario + Vampire 1

Rosario + Vampire 1
Story and Art by Akihisa Ikeda translated by Kaori Inoue
2004/USA 1st printing June 2008

This is a funny manga. I loved it. I can't wait for the next one.
Tsukune is a boring average student, who gets into an odd high school
called Yokai. On the way to it he gets run into by a beautiful girl
on a bicycle. He tries to help her up and she bites him on the neck.
She is a vampire!

Later he learns that Yokai is a school for monsters and he is the only
human. Luckily the monsters kids are there to learn how to fit in with
humans. The big school rule is that the monster boys and girls are to
stay in their human form for practice.

All the boy monsters are crazy for the cute girl vampire, Moka. But
she is madly in love with Tsukune. He is confused. Does he want to
run away from her? If he dosn't then she'll bite him again. If he
does then the monster boys will kill him.

Tsukune is constantly terrified and confused. He likes Moka and she
keeps chasing him and wanting to suck his blood. Then later things
get more complicated when a werewolf has the hots for Moka and a
succubus has the hots for Tsukune.

The artwork is pretty cool too. I highly recommend.
