Maria seems like a manipulative spineless jerk tbh
Maria and Mary interactions got me like AYO?! đłď¸âđ𤨠Can't spell Bloody without BL
thrown in headfirst but I'm not confused (yet).

This was a rather odd manga that held my attention more than i thought it would. It starts out slow but does pick up pass and interest

I love this concept and the nostalgic, emo vibes of the art style. It is quite pretty, and the humor isn't too bad. I will be continuing the series.

I initially thought that this book would have LGBTQ+ rep, it doesn't (at least, in the first volume), which that's okay! From what vampire stories I have read, which is minimal, this manga is interesting! I don't know fully of what I think of it, considering that it's just the first volume.
Do I recommend it? Yeah, it was entertaining and I wasn't bored while reading it. I don't know whether I'll continue the story or not. Perhaps I'll cross paths with the second volume some other day....

~3.5/5
I expected this series to be a bit darker than it is, though there is definitely more coming.
Bloody Mary is a vampire, only all the typical rules of being a vampire donât count on him, and he doesnât want to want blood. All Mary wants to do is die, and he believes that Maria can do that. Maria, on the other hand, wants nothing to do with vampires, wants them to leave him alone, only to find out that heâs supposed to have some kind of special powers from an ancestor.
Maria is cold and more of a loner than anything. Mary is sulking and a bit of a wimp (in attitude, not physically), still feeling terrible over a past tragedy. Mary falls for most of the comedy relief, with his exaggerations, and I find him rather cute. There are clearly some BL undertones here, including some blood drinking, but I donât think anything is going to come of it.
There are darker things being hinted at, violence and secrets, and Iâm intrigued. The artwork is very pretty, much like the cover. Iâm not sucked in yet, but I am intrigued to read more.
A review copy was provided by the publisher, VIZ Media, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!

The first volume of the manga series, âBloody Maryâ by Akaza Samamiya, was an absolute treat to read. The art is fantastic, going from cute to bloody in a second. The character designs are wonderfulâI have a certain love for Bloody Maryâs design, what with the cute cat-eared hoodieâand the constant use of red spider lilies makes this manga perfect for my aesthetic.
Maria is a priest, descended from a long line of priests and vampire hunters. He wants, desperately, to live and to stay alive. Bloody (nicknamed Mary by Maria) is a vampire hellbent on dying. The two meet, with Bloody begging for Maria to kill him. However, with problems of his own, Maria strikes a bargain with the vampireâprotect him long enough for him to awaken a special power within, and then he will kill Mary.
The plot and characters are really intriguing, and I canât wait to see where this goes!

It was a very funny manga. I liked the twist to the normal vampire trope, it was quite refreshing.
