Rosario+Vampire 1 by Akihisa Ikeda (2008, Paperback)

Rosario Vampire is about $7.99. It is a fairly new series that need out.

Rosario Vampire is atypical high school comedy/action manga. The main character, a high schooler, applies and is accepted to a school, to his own fright, that it contains yokai (monsters). The school teaches the yokai how to live in human society and how to live peacefully with humans. They are required to take human forms. So makes it difficult who the main character should trust or what their real forms are. The main characters, after the first of so many other predictable battles, decides to stay at the school to protect his friend and potential love interest, a female vampire.

Most of the stories involved preventing the main character from becoming monster chow from his fellow students. This involves the female vampire to transform into her true form and fight the monster to protect the main character. The stories do connect but have a random feel to them sometimes.

The stories do have comedic elements and they are funny but typical of the manga genre. Rivals for love, etc. Nothing new to manga as whole

Art: Part is O.K. but nothing to get worked over.

RV is a good manga. Its story is enjoyable and entertaining but feels like the same one stuff. Its a good buy but not must by any comparisons
