"Help me paint a portrait of my true face!" demanded a man named Sein as he appeared in front of the painter, Lou on a street corner. Living together as a patron and an artist, Lou discovers that Sein is actually a vampire. After getting to know him, Lou begins to hope that Sein would drink only his blood, and no other's.

Beautiful art   
Rating: 6.0 / 10.0

Hiroki Kusumoto set out to draw a vampire story and that’s exactly what she has done. The story focus is more on the vampire aspect than the boy’s love aspect and I applaud it for that. It would have been so easy for Kusumoto to have turned this into a no plot basic yaoi story with vampires just thrown in. However, because there is a plot it seems that Lou is a rather unnecessary part, or should I say he seems like more of a plot devise than a character.

amazing art

well, that was ... different. amazingly detailed art; just phenomenal. the story does not live up to it. i'm not much for vampires on the best of days, and this didn't change my mind. it's melodramatic (yeah, i know -- comes with the vampire territory), and there's more gore than sex (much, much more gore than sex; there's hardly any sex at all, and most of the gore is surprisingly not of the bloodsucking kind). the love story (hm. there might be two.) nearly disappears behind the two vampires fighting for ... i guess that would be a spoiler.

so; not very romantic, not very sexy, but packed with action, melodrama, and gore. did i mention the amazing art? amazing art!

I just finished reading the first volume (now available for purchase in the US). This is definitely not your typical yaoi. It's very violent, and not in the S/M sort of way.

I'll be eagerly awaiting the second volume. Which, unfortunately, probably won't be coming out for, like, a year.
