Ladies and gentlemen, presenting to you… A piece of good art. I haven’t seen such a splendid cover in ages.
The manga doesn’t start with a backstory. It just throws you into the thick of things. Well actually it shows you the daily life of these two lovers, without revealing how they came to know each other. How very cryptic.
And then there’s the fact that she’s a vampire. He’s a human. With somewhat special eyes? Argh. It’s too mysterious for it’s own good. Oh, and he can kick ass too. I like the fact that it follows the Gothic tradition. Paedophilia [yes, the girl’s actually an adolescent. Well, one who’s lived longer than an adult], insanity, sexual role reversals, macabre killings… It’s all in there. All the Gothic stuff I learnt in school, and maybe some of those I’ve forgotten as well.
But I digress. Gaze upon the jaw dropping cover.
