Description
From Seven Seas:
After millennia in hiding, Mina Tepes, the Princess of the ancient covenant and ruler of all vampires, wants change. Using the vast wealth of the Tepes line, she has paid off the entire gross national debt of Japan and in so doing, gained the authority to create a "special district" off the coast of Japan that is to become the future haven to vampires the world over!
Now, on the eve of the landmark press conference announcing the existence of vampires to the world, terrorists and rival factions are plotting to assassinate Mina Tepes before she has a chance to make her world-changing announcement.

| Something new in the vampire genre by Wufu on August 14th, 2009, 5:13pm |
|
Dance in the vampire bund caught my interest because of its new approach (or at least for me it was new) to the vampire genre. It isn't the same old story of vampires existing in the shadows, one human discovers one, and they enter in a love-or-hate relationship. The author presents us with the reality of today but adds a twist of vampires coming out of hiding and seeking world recognition. The story is in the perspective of the vampire queen as she creates a place in the world for vampires. Of course, like in reality, there are always people who want to stanch this influx of change and at times this is like a body guard manga, albeit 'the principle' is just as strong as her body guard. There are some ludicrous ecchi moments in the beginning but that was probably for the market appeal.
The main characters in this manga all have feeling. There is a third dimension to the main characters. Every main character has their own personalities and reasons. Unfortunately, as of what's scanlated, the side characters have not had the time to morph into a other than adjunct role. The romance is present and clearly shown to the reader, (really minor spoiler, about the current stage of the romance) Spoiler (highlight to view) but as of now it remains nothing more than dramatic irony. That means it's a side focus and it most likely will blossom as the series continues.
The art is on the upside of mediocre. There are some characters drawn to not only add depth to the narrative but serves as fan service material—two birds with one stone I guess. The author also does a great job depicting the characters in their temperaments especially Mina (the queen). Mina's change in persona is reflected in his art style. Also, the author has an imaginative and acute sense of style when it comes to the vampires' style of clothing. This is usually seen on Mina's dresses as they never stop to amaze me.
I like it. Other's also like it. So go read it. 4 out of 5 stars.

Have you ever read the first chapter or two of a story, or watched the first scene or two of a movie, or the first episode of a TV show, and you just knew it was awesome? Like it rose far aove the usual mediocrity and shone, as brilliant stories do?
I have. This one's a 10.

Very good manga. The story get pretty deep, and the romance is good, and i especially like how these vampires actually think about solutions to their problems (ex: sunlight).
oh yah and i thought i recognized the art from somewhere. So i saw what other works the author has done. Ne. To. Ge.

I'll echo Jhno1's comment in saying that this series is so good it startled me, and its a highly original perspective on the vampire genre. I will state with no hesitation that this is one of THE best manga, or comic in general, that I have ever read. It truly reads like a novel, with fantastic artwork, likeable characters, and a storyline that both deep and easy to follow.
I'm giving this a 9 for now, but I'm really looking forward to future releases.
*Edit*
Correction: this deserves a 10.I highly recommend that you read this series.

It`s worth of your time, I really like the storyline, for to be a subject as used as that of the vampires, It´s fresh.
The only problem is that this manga is licensed, so you have to wait for the releases, but a good point that I must to stand out, It`s that in each volumen, there is a situation, problem, or the obstacle to overcome,etc, so in each volumes the problem is solved, or the enemy is defeated.
because of this, somehow each volumen is autonomous, inside of the storyline,(according to I have read through 3 volumes, this can be change in the next volumes)
for some people this can be boring, but the wait between releases is too long, so for me this is good, because the anxiety of knowing what will happen next is too much, anyway in the end of each volume, It`s shown a little bit of the next volumen, so there is still the efect of "to instill curiosity in the reader about what will happen next"
my rating is 9,
by the way, this is the schedule release of each volume
Schedule release of Dance in the Vampire Bund

| Suprisingly good and original. by Jhono1 on December 29th, 2008, 8:19pm |

So I guess I could give my verdict after finishing 3 albums now. And it's indeed a different take on the normal "romanticised" take on vampires in most mangas.
This is quite a bit of fresh air in an otherwise extremely stale genre. Vampires in Dance in the Vampire Bund, aren't totally evil, as seen in monster/horror mangas. At the same time they are not the handsome bishies displayed in your normal shounen/shojo manga. I'd say that they are somewhere in between.
I like the art a lot, the plot is coming along nicely as of vol 3. One of the few things I do not like about this is the fact that it's once again based around f#cking high school kids, or mostly anyway. Please mangakas, do try something else for once, will you? -2 points for that really. Other than that, the characterization is fine. No other complaints except that I personally would like this to be a bit more "mature" themed. That's just nitpicking however.
It's good, go ahead and read it. Hell it is even Licensed so you can buy it if you wish.

From those 3 chapters this seems nice. Very pretty artwork and nicely done fight scens.
The story seems interesting as well. It shows a less romanric side of vampires, comparing to other vampire manga I've read.
Let's see how it developes.~
