Nekrateholic Hot

Ah, for me the epitome of all yaoi sub genres; vampire Yaoi. I purchased this manga purely because it was a yaoi with vampires in it. Now, I don't know if my standards are too high, but I have never yet read a vampire yaoi that has made me go: wow! I had always thought that the two should be synonymous; vampire and yaoi, they just go so well together. In theory.

Necratoholic, like the other vampire yaoi's I have read, does not quite reach that peak of brilliance that I expect from the genre. however, it makes a good attempt at scaling it. The story revolves around the cat-and-mouse relationship of Sakuya, who is a vampire, and Atsumi, who is a vampire hunter. The character designs are attractive, although I find the character's themselves a little under-developed. It is a single volume manga, which suits it just fine. Any longer and it would start to struggle.

The sex scenes are not graphic, but some of the blood play is erotic. all in all, it is very much an almost manga. I enjoyed reading it, and I will read it again. I certainly do not regret purchasing it. It just does not captivate me in the way that other mangas that I have read do. The artwork is by far the best part of this manga, and the storyline is sweet and funny. There are very few vampire mangas out there, and I would still say that this is one of the better ones.
