Chibi Vampire - Book Review

Chibi Vampire by Yuna Kagesaki

Ever since The Twilight Saga had hit the shelves it seems like nobody can get enough of vampires. Chibi Vampire is manga series by Yuna Kagesaki. It tells the story of Karin Maaka, a 16 year old highschool girl who is an extraordinary vampire. Like in most vampire stories, vampires can't walk on broad daylight, hate garlics, and suck blood. Karin Maaka is a different story; instead of drinking blood and sucking it out of her victims, she produces excess blood and injects it to her victims. Not only is she the opposite of her family that are vampires, she can walk during the day, hates the dark, and can't even control a bat. She's basically a human. Of course she feels alone and sad since she can't have a normal relationship with humans except for her one best friend and her haven't yet awakened vampire sister. Then next thing she knew a new guy named Kenta Usui (he's human) transferred to her school. With Kenta, Karin learns how to fall in love, get hurt, and understand her true self.
