Description
Jae is a Korean student who came to Europe to study art. Things aren't going her way, but she's determined to make it. One night, her friend Melissa brings a drunk guy to her apartment and asks if he can stay there for the night. Jae doesn't like it, but agrees. That night she has a dream that the drunk guy drinks her blood... which, of course, turns out NOT to be a dream.
Jae is surprisingly unafraid of the vampire, Michael, and starts to paint his portrait. The two strike an unusual deal: if Jae allows the vampire to feed on her, he will pose for her. His beauty and alluring preternatural energy could be exactly what Jae needs to finally succeed as a painter.

 addicting but confusing

i got really addicted to this manhwa but mostly because i didn't know wtf was going on, so i kept on reading on to figure it out. the plot had potential, but everything seemed to be a bit messy. it was hard to understand what was going on. for example, there were a few parts where it would flip to scene that had nothing to do with what was going on or it would flip back and forth from the past and present. i just wish it had been organized better, but with all my complaints about it, i still enjoyed the story very much. the art is pretty good. i don't read anything with awful drawings, so i'd give the art a 9 probably.

 Case of style over substance

The art is so gorgeous that I've given this a higher rating than it perhaps deserved.

The problem is that nothing makes sense. The author introduces so many questions, and only very few of them are fully answered. Scene changes happen before you've figured out what was happening in the previous scene. Characters come and go without the reader finding out who they actually were in relation to the main characters. The motivations of the characters are often impenetrable. Even the ending was obscure. I'm sure inside the author's mind this all made sense but I'm afraid she just makes the reader work too hard in trying to work out what's happening. It just was not enjoyable, which is a shame because it certainly had potential.

i frickin' love Lee So Young.

as quoted from KittyTeea....
"To be honest I don't even understand why this manga was labeled as shoujo."

'it's labelled as shoujo??' is what i first thought and scrolled up to see with my own eyes. but i agree, i dont' understnad why it's labelled shoujo at all...it's more like...josei? anyway, definite read. you miss out if you dont read this, man. i know not everyone likes the artwork..(i love effeminate boys.) but the story is interesting - though hard to keep up with at some points.. so be prepared.

"The development of the relationship between Jae and Michael is lovely to watch. I am more than willing to overlook some of the "plotholes" of the story because no romance/mystery manga has captivated me so much."

I agree. The relationship of Jae and Michael was indeed captivating. I'm not very big on vampire romances but this one was layed out in such an effective way that you care about them. I would love to read from this author again.

At first I shied away from this manga because of the artwork, but I came back later in an effort to finish it. Luckily for me the story proved to be absolutely beautiful. I love the atmosphere that the author has created, and I like how everything is shrouded in mystery. The development of the relationship between Jae and Michael is lovely to watch. I am more than willing to overlook some of the "plotholes" of the story because no romance/mystery manga has captivated me so much.

To start with I don't like the artwork, indeed the scenery is beautiful, but I don't like the male characters, they're way too effeminate. The story is dragged for too long, really at points it bored me to death, maybe because it wasn't any romance in the first half. I admit the mysteries kept my interest, and I just loved the dark atmosphere. I also liked that the heroine was a galaxy away from the typical shoujo crybabies. To be honest I don't even understand why this manga was labeled as shoujo. But the thing that really made me read on was the strong feeling the author put in this work.

Even though it was confusing at times, it was so beautiful. The fabrication of the words in the story was captivating. Needless to say, it was quite complex. The art is absolutely gorgeous too, and the plot was nice. :H

I loved the ending. Absolutely freakin' adored it. A++

very captivating...

some of the words used were almost poetic

however everything was a bit TOO mysterious! even after reading it i only have a vague understanding of everything. how she fell in love with michael still is beyond me. that part was a bit abrupt...and how does ken actually feel about her? was it true love? or lust or a craving for somebody to love him!?

there are too many unanswered questions

besides that i think the art is lovely...the heroine kinda reminds me of the girl from perfect girl evolution.

there were some times when i was seriously confused...it would go from flashback to flashback inside that flashback and i had no idea what was going on. then the manwhaga brought in characters without fully allowing them to develop...but all in all, it was a good manhwa to read.


btw, the art is AMAZINGGGG biggrin

Great artwork, great start. Only problem was that the abrupt introduction of the other characters(other than the main cast) in the later volumes sort of caused many issues with the plotline: continuity, characterisation, etc. It makes me feel as though they'd decided to make the series longer.
