Patreon has been updated with the next chapter of book 4! You can view the story in progress for just a dollar. Just please remember; it is necessary to have read the previous three books to understand book 4. They are available here on my blog, or on your platform of choice here, here, and here. Even if you can’t read via Patreon, this book will be available like the others once it’s finished but, it will likely be different as I’ll of course be editing it before the official release.

Ko goes to meet with Kiku about her intentions with his best friend, Mahiru and it ends with Kyoko finally demanding the real reason why Kiku ruined her family. Meanwhile, Nazuna has some quality time with Mahiru.
This series still somehow has a way of surprising me. I did not expect the events of this volume. I expected some huge violent confrontation once Kyoko comes face to face with Kiku – who I still think is a manipulative creep – but I am intrigued by how things played out. Will Kiko remain a threat or will there be someone new who comes in to play? 4 out of 5.

While on the school trip, Ko’s classmate Saki is attacked by Haruka, a vampire, and Ko goes to rescue her. Meanwhile, Mahiru makes the final preparations before Kiku turns him.
With Haruka added to the roster, we’ve got a lot of characters and a web of connections between Kiku and Nazuna’s mother. And since the entire point of this trip was to find Mahiru, we got some time with him and Kiku along with some insight into Kiku’s motivations. No spoilers but I’m uncertain about how I feel about what was presented as an explanation but maybe more will be added later to justify to me the ruin Kiku has left in her wake. 3.9 out of 5.Â

As the school trip approaches, Ko plans to use it as a chance to look for Kiku and Mahiru.
Using the school trip was an interesting choice. There’s something smart and silly about the way they managed to get a school trip plot in here since Ko hasn’t been to school or cared about school this whole time but, I’m rolling with it. It is odd that Ko dropping out of school is treated like no big deal and nobody bats an eye when he just shows up for the trip. I do want this Mahiru situation to make more progress. Whatever Kiku is with him for, I wanna know already because circling around it this long is starting to bother me. I really hope the payoff is worth it. 3 out of 5.

As Ko’s power grows so does the threat to him and Nazuna as the object capable of killing her is finally discovered.
Kiku’s possible endgame in all this pales in comparison to what’s going on with Ko, in my opinion. I do want a resolution to whatever Kiku is doing but the entire cast is baffled as to why and how Ko is changing the way he is and is massive strength. So far, his scary moments are confined to when he’s fighting so we’ll have to keep going to find out the details. As for Kiku, she’s just the right amount of flippant, manipulative, and dangerous to be interesting up to this point but I’d like her story to make more movement forward. Other than that, this was an action-packed volume with not much downtime and gives us a lot of information. 4.9 out of 5.

As Ko considers his options concerning his best friend and Kiku, another vampire Kiku had turned showed up as well as a vampire woman looking to clean up Kiku’s mess.
This volume is fast paced, throwing out a lot of action and information. It can feel a little like this volume is about to do an info dump but it goes right back into some awesome vampire battles. Ko is developing into a very interesting character and I can’t wait to see what he can really do from here on out. 4.8 out of 5.

Uguisu is on the trail of a very old vampire named Kiku Hoshimi, who is known for turning humans and abandoning them. She enlists Ko and Nazuna for help but Ko has some strange things going on with his body.
I am beginning to see how Uguisu fits into the cast now and I’m warming up to her. It was still jarring for her to go from major threat to part of the main group so quickly but now, we have Kiku. Whatever Kiku is up to is messed up but what I’m really interested in is what’s going on with Ko. It makes the story so much more interesting than him just becoming a vampire. It makes me want more. 4 out of 5.

Ko and Nazuna have their final showdown with Kyoko, the vampire hunter.
The vampire hunter arc comes to an end and I’m mixed about adding the hunter as a permanent addition to the cast. It was written well but Kyoko did a lot of damage and it’s clear her story is far from over. This is taking some intriguing turns and I like how it’s all coming together. They keep the story going in an entertaining way. 4 out of 5.

A group of children believe they ate the last survivors on the planet and they are vampires. They were told to wait until come others return but it’s been many years. Thinking they’re alone, they are shocked to learn some humans still exist; humans they were told to promise never to eat.
This is a taste of a larger story that sets up a lot of information in a creative way without a bunch of info dumps. The art for this story is fitting, the slightly muted colors bringing out the red of the blood, but it feels lacking. It’s very short and predictable if you’ve ever read any other story like this but it’s not bad. 3.5 out of 5.

The secret we’ve been building up to in Nazuna’s past puts all vampire kind in danger as Uguisu sets her sights on killing Nazuna and her vampire friends and Ko as well.
I have to say Uguisu’s backstory and her dealings with vampires was not what I expected it to be but it’s interesting. It fits in well with the unique way vampires function in this universe. It presents a problem that makes me wonder if the solution will be satisfying to the plot. Uguisu is set on killing all the vampires and doesn’t fear putting crazy stunts in crowds of people. We’ll have to see what Nazuna decides to do in the next volume because all this exposure is clearly not a good thing. 4 out of 5.
