Dance in the Vampire Bund

review 1: The story picks up with Mina, the vampire princess, showing up in what had been Akira's high school, and wrangling with the student council. Much to the council president's dismay, Mina lets them know that she is the one who founded the school, specifically so she could attend it later in her life. The president and the council work up reasons why it would be bad to allow Mina to attend school, with the president staying far after dark, and, as a result, being attacked. The attack and disappearance of Kai-Chou, the president, puts a strain on Mina's and Akira's relationship. Akira wants to side with his school friends, and they figure out that vampires have joined the student classes without anyone realizing. Yuki, the pretty girl who'd given Akira the ring in the firs... moret manga, argues with Mina about her trust in Akira, as well as the vampires joining the school, and whether Mina had anything to do Kai-Chou's disappearance. In the meantime, Mina is in a battle of wills with the local government, as the school she founded is within Tokyo, and the government wants to keep the vampires on the island rather than allow them within the city, for obvious reasons. Mina's reaction to this drives another wedge between Akira and her, causing an argument between them. The ending of this book is full of action, as well as more information about these particular vampires. The art is very good, but this story is not for the younger group. The violence and sexual overtones and nudity are prevalent in this manga. The story is very interesting, regardless. The fights took up a little more of this book than I wanted, but the story moved along nicely, regardless.
review 2: Same as volume one, really. An interesting take on vampires involving a colony of them settling on an artifical island in Japan gets dragged down by creepy lolicon fanservice. It's really a shame because the characters aren't that bad, and the mood and details are done nicely-there is conflict between normal vampires and fangless ones: the former are hedonists willing to do russian roulette since they cant be killed by it, and the latter take out their fangs and try to live like normal humans.Unfortunately the good aspects get drowned out by the fan service, so I don't recommend it. less
