Vampire Bund?

Post by Ravenhull »

Been looking for new titles to read and been seeing this title out there. How is it? I've seen some complaints about it being a bit overly Lolicon, is that accurate?

Oh, it's one of the most amazing Japanese licenses that we put out and a very original piece of vampire fiction in its own right. Definitely give it a read!

And Mina's appearance... let's just say that it's a key plot point that I don't want to spoil.

I agree with Adam, a very interesting read.

Picked up Volume One yesterday. Was indeed interesting. Was indeed a bit Lolicon-esque. Didn't really bother me and looking forward to picking up the rest.

Hit the nail on the head there; just put on your serious face and give it a read. If you can get past the loli aspect, it is one of the best vampire stories ever written. (In my opinion of course)

I started by reading it online, but the scanlators eventually stopped putting out new chapters. It was good enough that I went out and bought all 10 of the current volumes to find out what happens, despite the inevitable weird looks from family members. Nuff said.

Yeah, I dealt with the weird looks of family members and friends too lol. But I didn't give a single fuck, because Vampire Bund is awesome, especially the last couple of volumes. The twists in the story and the characters are great, it's by far GoManga's best license, along with Railgun. It's a must-read.

Well, I just finished Vol 1 (had to order it online in the end). Interesting story, though I was a bit disturbed by Nina's choice of combat attire in the first chapters. Will keep going though.

Yeah. Interesting plot. Just a crapton of lolicon and fanservice. Fairly good series overall, though.

<Looks at Mina from Vampire Bund... looks at Nina over at EC... remembers that Giz commented earlier in the thread about this comic... shudders violently...>

I keep forgetting to ask about this: In my copy of DitVB, Volume eight, page thirty-five, frame two Mina's speech bubble is blank. What is she saying here, please? I assume it is something along the lines of, "Surely you jest." But I like to know for certain.
