This manga is terrible. I got through 30 something chapters and I could tell way earlier it was bad. The dialog is hyper repetitive and silly and so is the reasoning of the characters. On top of that the action scenes often make little sense and the expressions are poorly used. Plus barely anything happens in a sense. Things could be so much more condensed.

There are way too many moments in only 30 or so chapters where Akira has a super serious dark shaded determined expression where he isn't doing shit and relying on Ken or his brother to do everything. It becomes so comical. Dramatic look after dramatic look while doing nothing. They should be better timed. The whole premise is silly. Ken gets upset that a vampire emasculated him by making him piss himself in front of his friends by biting his neck so everyone goes with him to an island that could be swarming with vampires just so he can get "revenge" when the group did kill the vampire that humiliated him. Sure, they say they're going to rescue the MC's brother but Ken makes it really clear this is just them fulfilling his revenge fantasy. We get the MC explaining with his thoughts they just can't refuse Ken's orders because "it's always been like that." And they bring tons of strangers into their personal vendetta to die.

The combat scenes are so silly. Ken and Katou seemingly whacking a zillion vampires before they're subdued while they attack from all directions while they're on the boat. A giant monster being able to wreck a big wooden crate with one swing but it never hits hard enough to kill anyone and its claws conveniently never connect with flesh. It's got the giant long razor teeth and they bite into a guy but it's ok. Ken gets stabbed with a spear but I think when they see him a few days later he's emaciated but the wound isn't visible.

It's all so forgettable I actually had trouble remembering a good example of how bad the dialog is. There's a part where the MC's brother explains vampires needing blood. We get it they're vampires. One guy states the obvious and he says he's sharp minded. We're told multiple times how the vampirism spreads. Let's move on. And silly stuff like everyone thinking "sure let's rescue a guy because it's just the thing to do." The MC's brother points out it's silly to try a rescue because it puts many lives at risk and he just replies "humans aren't just numbers." I'm sure a better translation could make it sound better but it's just so bad to start. And of course he pouts and starts storming off saying they'll do a rescue without his help when they're essentially helpless without him. It's so cliche and bad. The characters are supposed to have finished high school, they're not supposed to be little kids.

This manga is surprisingly good and does not hold anything back when it comes to mature themes - think of it like Berserk from Kentaro Miura. The only downside is that protagonist becomes unrealistically strong in just 1 year of training and can now somehow take hordes of vampires and gigantic creatures with just his sword, while still being just a human. At least with Guts he trained and fought his whole life to gain this strength.

Thanks so much for sharing this manga, it is SO cool!

In Chapter 82 it is labeled as Chapter 72 on the cover. Just a heads up so it can possibly be corrected! Thanks.

really good dark manga

So I spent over 9000 hours in MSpaint making this approximate map of the island from going through the entire thing. Feel free to use it however you please. Contains spoilers.

@fireproofemu

At start It was a classic teen horror, then It slowly transform into God of War. Now is a meme

Are we sure this isn't actually a comedy?

You asking for spoilers?

Spoiler

I just started reading this, now at ch 23. The story is fucking dark man. Anyone knows how this end?

Thanks for the continued effort dangankou

Adding some cover in, uh, Covers Section.

I'm not a fan of Kouji's manga pages, but his illustrations are on another level

Wow it really became battle shonen schlock. Also how big is that damn island?

Pure fun schlock

Beginning is alright, but it gets incredibly dumb as you go on. Characters actions make no fucking sense, they keep repeating the same shit over and over, and most of them just seem so stupid. At one point it seemed like some characters' mentality had regressed.

@ThirtyDigit
Oh yep there it is The moment i read the description i thought

I REJECT MY HUMANITY JOJO!

This would be a cinch if only there was HAMOONN NO BEEATTOOO

「OVVVVAADDURRIIVUUUU!!!」

I really really like this manga, even if a big chunk of a certain arc towards the middle was kinda terrible.

This is my kind of B-horror stuff.

Just use holy water or urine to defeat vampires. Urine work in 99.9% times, as for holy water idk.
