This series seems dedicated to giving you as much vampire entertainment as you can possibly handle (with some werewolves on the side). If this were a movie, it would be one of the summer blockbusters that doesn't win a single award but entertains millions of people all the same. Whenever I'm itching for vampires I catch up with this series and never left unsatisfied. (insert lame pun here.)
However, it might leave some to be desired for those looking for a more philosophical work and if you're tired of vampires you might want to leave this series be for a a while. You can also see how this series goes out of its way to sexually appeal to both genders and how some plot twists are simply thrown in for shock appeal. Basically, it's what you would expect from this kind of series.

I originally had watched the anime and loved it. Then I read the manga and found the story went further. I started wondering after ch.48 was scanlated, how long before more chaps come out. Then I found that it was not only licensed already, but the licensed version was already ahead of the scanlations. I have up to vol.11 and am looking forward to vol.12 next month. The story keeps growing but you can see the end drawing closer finally.

I'm surprised that this is good.
I find the complaints about the ecchiness a bit odd. There's quite a bit of nudity, but it never felt pornographic to me. Most ecchi beats your head in with 'LOOK AT THESE BOOBS! HAVE A PANTY SHOT!'. Here it just seems incidental and entirely appropriate given the subject matter.

Something new in the vampire genre

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)
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.

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.

I love how everyone authenticates their moral standards by demeaning those in the opposing party.
As it is, I cant say I enjoyed this manga much. Many of the reactions from the characters felt less believable and more like an excuse to get to the next point in the plot. That being said, the take on the whole vampire thing is pretty different and as far as the plot goes,its fairly original.
I personaly cldnt continue reading this because of my personal *eeww* moral compass, and because I just couldnt picture the characters as real.
I'd say to skip this manga-but, as seen from the many glowing reviews-it might be worth a shot.

Like what others have said, the manga is refreshing in the way that vampires are portrayed differently in this manga. I don't mean portrayed differently as in they change everything about the vampires (weaknesses, body composition, SPARKLINESS for cryin' out loud! Ugh!), but in that they the vampires are seeking acceptance along with trying to establish their own nation and such.
The plot itself of the manga is deep and pulls the reader in. The story is not overly complicated, and the characters are indeed three dimensional. The only problem I have with it is the ridiculous ecchi moments. By putting those scenes where Mina voluntarily takes off her clothes made it seem forced and unnatural. However, that clears up after the first volume.
Overall, I've come to respect and like (if not love) this manga. Before the Loli/Shota scare, I wouldn't have heard of it at all.

Vampire stuff doesn't exactly get old, people get tired of it. You've seen a couple, you've seen them all, that's the problem. They're mostly good, but you already know what happens.
This manga is pretty cool in the fact that it takes the vampire genre and add some minor twists- people are learning about the existence of vampires, there's strife and trouble, and blah blah blah.
What's also cooler is the relationships that are shown. There's definite romance, there's twists and turns in the plot, there's drama and horror and one or two bits of comedy spread out now and then... The presentation is just awesome.
I think it moves a bit fast, though. Like, I feel like the first two volumes could be spread to three or four, but right now it works very good. There's an anime announced, and I think it'll do very well, as long as they don't make it so that ONE chapter is ONE episode.
Check it out. You'll like it.

The story didn't strike me as anything original and groundbreaking, and the art contained a lot of male fan service that I just did not appreciate. Although I often read shounen manga with fan service, I hate it when it's done pointlessly. God, this had hints of all types of fetishes... Pedophilia (lolli), yaoi, big boobs, and etc.
The badass moments were plenty, and the action scenes shown throughout were pretty good too... but it's still below average. I came to really like the main pair due to their quirky relationship, but the plot is so generic that even my love for the main pair could not save this manga.

to take it seriously. And this fanservice is everywhere and all over the place. Nudity at every opportunity, loli, shota, yaoi.... bestial yaoi.
The writing is kind of off sometimes. Werewolves that prefer to fight in human form... why?
The manga is truly enjoyable, but I regret reading it because it ends with "End of Part I" and more questions than answers. Years until the ending. I don't know if I will be interested then.

Just finished the series and loved it from beginning to end. And, the way it ends, I'll be looking forward to continuing adventures in the Bund. [*crosses fingers*] I couldn't get enough of the great artwork. It's so nice to see characters that aren't all built like pre-pubescent children or stick figures. It's also great to see all age groups represented (so tired of manga where adults are conspicuously absent). Loved the vampire-werewolf ally angle; so different from how the relationship between these two groups is portrayed in film/literature. I think it's an interesting, exciting, sexy, funny, touching series and I'm sure I'll be reading it again. If I ever fall into money, it is so going into my library. I'm just glad my library system has the books for lending. I'm also hoping the anime will be re-made a al FMA: Brotherhood, to follow the manga with the actual ending.
