I never noticed when this got serialised so now I'm just comparing both 1st chapters and giggling. The author just straight up just gave Kaname a bigger chin on one of the panels lol
Anyways, after finishing this I have to say it really does feel like an oneshot-turned-series; plot is definitely not where it's at. Kaname looked hot when they had sex after he turned(/was turning) into a vampire, but that's about it. They tried for some drama with the different lifespans thing, but as someone who really enjoys that narrative a lot, the execution of it all was extremely lackluster. It *feels* like it should've been this "gotcha" moment of Kaname being indecisive, but it just reads in a low-energy kind of way...? And not really dramatic. I think it worked more as a oneshot, tbh, because the suspension of belief was higher, but now there's little dots all over the story that just feel wonky and you can't really ignore them. Like the parental-figure-turned-love-interest plot point (which gets weirder than it already is on ch2), the thing with Vampire n2 and the Adam kid (which, btw, who let that child have a scalpel???), and the fact that Kaname seems kind of indecisive for a priest...??? I guess I can't really judge; I'm not religious nor do I partake in religious activities so I can't really say how a priest should act on their religion. I guess I just expected his religion to play a bigger part on his character.
All in all, not that great. It's an ok read, but it does have great art and vampires so that kept me entertained enough ╮(￣▽￣)╭
