I'm a sucker (no pun intended) for vampire stories and manga, so this was the perfect mix! It's funny and cute, and definitely worth the read. The characters are loveable and the art is good! The pace is fast like most mangas, but it does have a lot of details which I appreciate.

Diesen Manga hatte ich mir gekauft, weil mir „Ballad Opera“ von dieser Mangaka so gut gefallen hat. Außerdem habe ich nur gutes über die Reihe gehört. Tja, mein Fall war es dann so gar nicht. Vampirstories haben es allgemein etwas schwer bei mir, da ich eben doch eher der Werwolf-Typ bin, aber es gibt einige Ausnahmen. Hier hat mich die Story aber einfach nur gelangweilt. Ein Vampir, der zwar niedlich ist, aber nur sterben will. Ihn kann nur eine Person von seinem Leid erlösen und das ist Maria. Der hat seine Exorzistenkräfte aber noch gar nicht entdeckt und ist auch sonst wenig daran interessiert, Mary zu helfen. Er war mir total unsympathisch und das ist das eigentlich schon das Todesurteil für den Manga. Es konnte mich einfach null packen.
Einzig der Zeichenstil konnte mich begeistern. Der war sehr schön. Meist sehr filigran, aber immer auch wieder total niedliche Chibis und sowas mag ich sehr.

Story 2,0/5
Zeichenstil 4,4/5
Charaktere 2,0/5
Gesamt 2,6/5

I love the art style of Bloody Mary. The story follows Bloody Mary a vampire that wants to die but unfortunately he isn't like a normal vampire and can't die. The other character is Maria a teen prist who promises to kill Mary if he protects him until he can find a way to kill Mary.

Good concept

This is a series that has been heavily advertised to me by the library, so I gave it a shot thinking that I would like a vampire who is in a constant state of wanting death and the priest who doesn't want to kill him...

But it was boring as heck, and I didn't see myself wanting to read anymore of it...

So, this is promising vampire with a dash of mystery and intrigue.

We’ve got a young priest descended from the powerful Maria line of priests who can’t perform exorcisms and a rare, red-headed vampire who can’t remember anything about himself except that the only one who can kill him is a priest from the Maria bloodline. Neither really knows what to make of the other but they quickly realize that if they want any answers, they’re going to have to work together.

This is pretty interesting thus far and I am looking forward to reading more~

Okay, I wasn't sure that I was going to like this at all, but it surprised me in a good way (for now at least) I'm going to continue on with this series for a while to see what happens next.

Es precioso. La estética es deliciosa.
Y por favor, no me vengan con que esto es shōjo porque puedo ver la homosexualidad a kilómetros, traspasa el papel(?).
