CRYING SCREAMING THROWING UP WHAT IS THIS CHAPTER I was SO (delusionally) happy at the first half of the chapter that they had finally learned to sit down and actually talk about things and then THIS is how this ends??? WHY CAN'T WE HAVE NICE THINGS

Can I just kill myself at this point or

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 ╮(￣▽￣)╭
