Blood Lad, Vol. 1: The Story of a Great Painter and the Slave He Helped Become a Great Artist

Molto simpatico e divertente, è un manga che mi ha piacevolmente sorpreso. Molto carina anche l'edizione della Yen Press in formato grande (raccoglie 2 tankobon in ogni volume) con delle pagine a colori plastificate. Attenzione però perchè quest'edizione è in inglese, in italiano è stampato dalla Planet Manga.

Delivery quicker than expected and good quality

Good book came in way earlier than expected

I don't remember exactly why, but while I was house sitting for a friend of mine away on vacation, I went out on the internet to find a new manga to read and somehow came across this: A story about a vampire who isn't really interested in being one and spends his days playing video games and obsessing over Japanese media. As I appeared to have uncanny similarities with the main character, I decided to pick up a copy of volume 1. I'm really happy I did. This series is funny and doesn't take itself too seriously, I can read it without feeling like I'm on the verge of tears and enjoy it early in the morning when I don't want to think too hard. The cast is charming, taking hints from different storybook tales of classic horror. The art style reminds me a bit of Bleach and there's a fair amount of fanservice, but it's worth it to watch Staz tear people to shreds.

Here is my first manga I have already received. Well, the quality is really good. I hope I will buy another manga.
