Fujiwara Kaoru has done it again!
Artwork: Beautiful
Plot: Confusing, but interesting
It's not like it was perfect, though...
I mean, the ending was.... eh.
But it was really a great read.
The recommendations aren't good, so I'll give you some:
If you liked it, read Akusaga, Dolls, Switch, Fetish or Mukashi no Hanashi (the last two are by the author of Vampire Girl).

| deep story, beautiful people.. by countingwounds on May 31st, 2009, 8:17pm |

.. did i say beautiful people? the artwork is amazing! the people are so pretty.
the storyline itself is deep and wonderful in it's own nature. a very refreshing read! both in content, characters, character personalities, and such.
i'll give it a 9, it was missing something i just can't quite place.. but read it! it'll make you think. (at least it made me think~)
not really that significant but..
Spoiler (highlight to view) i was wondering wtf the 'vampire girl' title had anything to do with the story. i was like 'huh?' call me dense, but i didn't even think the story would have anything to do with vampires! XD and if you're reading this before you've read the series, YES THE CHARACTERS ARE VAMPIRES! >D doesn't that make it so much more amazing!? .. of course you might have realized that if you had any common sense, unlike me..

Spoiler (highlight to view) When do they actually remember their vindication? Life is a vicious cycle. History repeats itself and all that crap tied down 90% into the manga's end. That never sits well with anyone.
Could've wished for a better execution. Though I get where the title's coming from now.

I love this manga. The complexity and art is amazing. However, I find the ending extremely unsatisfactory. It was like a kind of anticlimax for me and I would have much preferred something different, even if it's a change from the traditional kind of ending.

I enjoyed the manga up till the very end where I felt majorly disappointed. Though a over all good read with awesome artwork...the ending just freaking bit the big one. I am so mad.

Spoiler (highlight to view) when i first started reading this, i had the feeling that something wasnt right about this one... i read it all the way to the end, in the middle it redeemed itself and in the end it just went crap. the whole way the mangaka portraid the whole reincarnation thing and using the brother to remember her lost memories was just stupid, it just didnt seem thought out enough and although i got the message i didnt like the way it was portraid and it just made the whole thing lame.
the story was all over the place in sections also, but thats fine cause you just had to piece it together but it got a little frustrating when i thought to myself, huh.. how did that happen and id have to reread to make sure i didnt skip something, but i didnt really have to the manga just glossed over some important bits, i think it was trying to go for mysterious .. but it wasnt it was just being glossy.
what romance there is no real romance, she has a crush on him and then hates him for 95% of the manga. then her reincarnated memories make her love him .. and they spend 100s of years looking for each other only to kill each other again but tis eternal love ... wtf ... lameness.
vampires are one of my favorite themes and this just didnt do it for me, i was intrieged originally because people said it wasnt just that whole "chick falls head over heals for a vampire" type manga, which it wasnt but it wasnt good either, i had to give it 4 because it did keep me reading to find out what happened, and i liked the parts where it was explaining their past that was interesting, but my overall impression is "Meh.."

| Very good by elalendi on January 10th, 2009, 7:19pm |

I love this mangaka's work. It's always got that dark, gothic, and sad kind of taste to it. I liked this story, it was very interesting and amazingly it HELD my interest, since I don't usually like vampire stories with the same annoying girl-falls-in-love-with-vampire plot. I'm glad this one was so different and unique. Like some people already said, my only complaint would be that the story was so CONFUSING and murky... but oh well, it just added to the mysteriousness I guess. This is definitely a very heavy and mature romance manga, not your light happy-go-lucky shoujo kind of read.

| A real good read by ggeurin on December 22nd, 2008, 9:08am |

I agree with albeitalways, this is really good. I enjoy that it is different and not a "love will win" happy ending. It has dept. Although I also agree in the fact I wish the mangaka would have went into a little more detail about the boy with the toy and how it is all connected, I feel the mangaka probably felt rush to finish it.
Either way, I am glad I read it. Well worth it.

I honestly don't get why are people complaining on this manga, particularly because it didn't end up as a teenage shoujo vampire-loves-hapless-girl? Um, hello, not all mangas have to end up as clichés, which is GOOD, to most of us jaded readers out there.
Personally, this is one of the best vampire mangas I've read around, even more so than Vampire Knight. It has everything, mystery, intrigue, horror and a little bit of psychological thinking as well. If that's not your cup of tea, then stay away from this one.
It has fairly mature themes as well, so if things like 'rape', senseless killing, and all that stuff isn't something you can stomach, then don't even read it.
My only complaint, as others have pointed out already, is that the ending seems too 'loose'. The manga-ka could have done a better job in explaining more about this whole 'life, death and revenge' business, instead of shoving in a chapter that barely ties the loose ends and has more open-ended holes instead.
Still, the sum is more than the total of its parts, so I have to say, despite the lousy ending (the lack of explanation for all that mysterious, intriguing 'past' ) , it still makes up for it and this manga is one of the better, gothic vampire stories I've read for a long time. 
And yeah, I agree with destati, maybe the whole universe--or Kanna and Ren's universe, is inside that kid's toy.

| A weird reincarnation story by cliff on September 13th, 2008, 9:22pm |

Vampires, reincarnations and all about karmas are basically the center of this manga. Can't bring myself to understand the last part. Who start it first? Can't understand that part. Could have been a lot better if the mangaka doesn't feel like she has to make things complicated. I am completely disappointed but still give 8 because the first part is so good until the last 2-3 chapters.
