Yofukashi no Uta

Description

From Viz:
One sleepless night, Ko slips out to walk the streets. Life after dark is a revelation! When flirtatious Nazuna invites Ko to spend the night at her place in an abandoned building, he’s stoked! But then he awakens to kisses on his neck with a little too much bite to them. Is it just the delicious taste of his blood that makes her meet him night after night for late-night adventures, conversation and naps? Or something else? Then, when a cute girl from Ko’s past shows up and competes for his attention, his budding relationship with the undead is put to the test.

Note: Won the 68th Shogakukan Manga Award for Best Shonen Manga alongside Ao no Orchestra in 2023.

The series was okay. Definitely dragged in some points, and the ending personally left me wanting for more.

a cute experience of escapism

by richarddd

Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

this manga was a rather pleasant experience. i spent my childhood alone at night very often. it's quiet, a bit scary, but mystical, peaceful and alone. the manga carries that aesthetic pretty well.

the ending itself was a pleasant experience, one that felt kind to the feelings. but on the logical scape, it left a couple plot points dead in the air. almost like, they were forgotten about.

in that way, it's a rather emotional straight shot that weaves far away from any logical conclusion.

it was kind of just a flowerly shounen romance, and in that way i enjoyed it very much.

After a big turning point, the rest of the manga just feels like filler. I dont want to spoil it, regardless though, everything befofe that point was really good

It's good, but...

Let me start by saying that i've also read Dagashi Kashi, and i think call of the night is an improvement in terms of both the visual narrative and narrative structure.

Now for the elephant in the room: the ending. The compromise reached at the end was seen a long time coming; it was either that, or straight up never seeing one another again. And it was quite evident that the 'bad end' (turning into a complete vampire) wasn't going to happen.

I can understand some people thinking that this was more like the 'end of an arc' instead of the manga as a whole. We don't know if there will be a timeskip sequel, spin-off or something of the sort. But for now i'll assume it's a done deal: I still think it was successful in what it tried to do: a coming of age story; with enough imagination, the readers can imagine how their relationship pans out in the future (surely not as a typical vampire relation, but that's what made it charming in the first place, right?)

That being said, i don't know if i could recommend his future works. It might be a pretentious, even unfair critique, especially considering how a lot of manga have been drawn out to hell (modern example being kanojo rental) but it's still something of a weak point in my opinion. For what it's worth, in these scenarios it feels like less is more, and something that would greatly benefit his storytelling is cutting down on some of the fluff (just some, not all).

Still, being under 200 chapters (around 5 years runtime, give or take?) is still what i consider reasonable, so this gets an okay recommendation from me. We'll see for his next work, maybe i'll just be trapped by his excellent character design once again, who knows.

Good ending

I liked the ending. It was a coming of age story about a young boy and his first life. It followed a similar structure to the hero’s journey, which I liked. The ending made sense to me somehow. I doubt a simplistic asspull would have satisfied me. I am appreciative of the fact that the mangaka did not treat me like a child.

Great Manga, Massively Disappointing Ending

by Imperfectbob
2 years ago

Rating: 7.5 / 10.0

Would be 10/10 if not for the ending. The last few chapters has Kou and Nazuna confirming the feelings for each other, with Nazuna bitterly leaving because she can't bring herself to suck Kou's blood which could turn him into a Vampire as well as turn her fully human and possibly kill her.

After that Kou begins to age as some vampire/human hybrid in the aftermath of Nazuna's departure only to eventually find Nazuna in some out of the way place where their reunion isn't what you call heartwarming but tepid at best. And at the very end the people Nazuna's staying with asks her who Kou is, with her responding the man she loves from an overhead view and it ends there.

The worst part of the ending is there are no vampire babies, no wedding or wedding like scenario for the two. It just ends after that.

More realistic than you might think

Anko is a perfect and absolutely spot on representation of what dedicating years of your life to hunting vampires/

or pedophiles can do to your psych, as well as how hard it is to move on.

Living normally is hard.
Keep living positively Anko!

A bit disappointed

by Fantasier

It started off really refreshing. I was kind of hoping that it would maintain the episodic, slice-of-life and subtle storytelling style that makes you feel, paradoxically, lonely and heartwarming at the same time. The magic got lost after it became a larger story about vampires, and devolved into a typical Shounen. It is still a decent Shounen, but I was really hoping it would be something much more magical.
