Chapter Thoughts

Wow, that chapter was a lot!
I’m amazed by how much I like this manga despite it being so consistently unpleasant…
I certainly wasn’t expecting to see Saku again!

leneux · January 28, 2023, 1:10pm

My goodness this manga continues to shock me. Impressive!

eieio · January 28, 2023, 2:26pm

This was a nice wild ride!
There were some big/harder words in this chapter[at least for me.] but overall it was a good chapter with a lot going on that happened quickly.
A lot of feels and stuff.

My secret plan is a success! I have converted you into a vampire lover!

Even though werewolves are cooler

fyrember · February 1, 2023, 1:53am

Yeah, and he even turned a new leaf and freed Okazaki. I guess humans were the real monsters after all?

Light on words but heavy on action and art showing everything!

leneux · February 19, 2023, 7:59am

Oooh, can’t wait to read next week!! It feels like it’s really building now.

fyrember · February 22, 2023, 12:47am

Wooo Okazaki is backkk!! I’m glad, Gosho was starting to annoy me a bit, she’s so docile

After a long book-club hiatus, in order to focus on grammar and listening, I finally rejoined the group here. Yesterday I read volumes 5 through 8 and then fell asleep hard trying to catch-up with volume 9. Made up for that today and now that I’m current I have to say:

Glad I rejoined/started reading this series again. Very entertaining
Along the way it occurred to me that had I not been behind I would not have been able to stop at weekly break points
This story just keeps getting Darker and Darker! Wow!

Another tough spot to stop at this week.

Woot!
some hard things to read that I did not understand really.
but overall very good chapter and a good cliffhanger!

See you all in the next and final volume…
