Lenni Reviews: “Call of the Night” Vol. 20, by Kotoyama

*This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.

Haruka tried to convince Ko not to bind himself to Nazuna and as neither her no Ko want to hurty each other, they decide to spend one last night together.

The ending is so bittersweet. I was hoping for more of what made Ko so different from other humans in the process of becoming a vampire, since it seemed everyone around them was so surprised by his abilities and wondering about Nazuna’s status as a born vampire had an influence on those abilities. However, this is more about how love can affect these relationships and the deep bond Ko and Nazuna share. I wouldn’t mind some stories with them but I’ll take what I’m given with our main two finding some sort of balance. 4 out of 5.

*This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.

Nazuna is doubting her relationship with Ko and is hesitant to take the final step and turning him so she tries to get blood elsewhere.

Even after all this time, Nazuna’s hesitation makes total sense to me. Ko is still just a high school student with a lot of life left to life, and everyone around him in their little group has lived so long. Yes, we have been building up to this for a while and it’s what Ko wants but I think Nazuna finally realizes what it would mean to do this. She could lose him forever. It will be interesting to see how this shakes out because Ko is already partially changed. Does that just reverse itself or is he trapped in a human/vampire limbo? I guess we’ll see. 4 out of 5.

Now that things have calmed down, Ko and Nazuna try to have time together but first they have to solve the problem of Nazuna’s destroyed apartment building. As she looks for a new place to live, Ko resumes going to school, meaning less time to roam about at night.

With all the stuff going on with Kiku, I forgot that if Nazuna has feelings for Ko and turns him, Nazuna could die. Since she was born a vampire that may not happen but the Kiku drama ended, I can see why Nazuna would be having second thoughts. And even though it cuts in to his time with Nazuna, it’s nice to see Ko hang out with other people. He’s always seemed so isolated and even though he still wants to become a vampire, it’s good he has people around him who aren’t vampires. 4 out of 5.

Lenni Reviews: “Otaku Vampire’s Love Bite” Vol. 1, by Julietta Suzuki

*This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.

Hina is a vampire who loves anime and since she’s never bitten a human, she gets permission from her father to move to Japan where she can be closer to the media she adores. Her neighbor, Kyuta, looks exactly like her favorite character but has none of the fictional man’s personality. Despite this, they do become friendly even though Kyuta is hiding something from not only Hina but his own friends as well.

Hina is adorable. She really makes all this fun and I love characters who are bubbly and cute but will flex their considerable power when necessary. Of course, Kyuta is the perfect deadpan foil to her otaku energy. I wonder if this series will keep it’s light hearted tone or if it will go a more serious/dark route as I can see the potential for both given what happens but we’ll see as the series continues. For now, I’m enjoying the positivity. 4 out of 5.

Nazuna and Mahiru continue to talk before Nazuna leave to allow Mahiru and Ko to finally have a conversation. The outcome of Kiku and Mahiru’s plan finally comes to fruition, leaving Ko with mixed emotions.

I’m so glad the mess with Kiku is over. My dislike of her and the lives she’s destroyed makes it hard for me to feel satisfied but at least it’s over. Now I’m hoping to get more of whatever Ko’s powers are shaping up to be and his relationship with Nazuna now that “Wee, I’m gonna be a vampire” fervor has calmed down with the reality of such an act not being so much fun. 4 out of 5.
