Aki is a member of Edo's dōshin and is investigating a series of strange murders, when he comes across the enigmatic stranger, Kuga. Thoughts: This was surprising, in that, I thought Kuga was from the future and Aki from the past. Instead, it turned out to be a case of extreme isolation. It was still quite interesting, though I am certain keeping the citizens in the dark to this degree has to be some sort of rights violation.

Looks kind of interesting, plotwise. Though the characters themselves seem less engaging by comparison

Mitsuru works as a reporter for a shady failing website while his bestfriend Annaka is from a rich and influential family. When Mitsuru starts investigating the mysterious death of a woman, he finds himself slipping into a world of fantasy and intrigue, the likes of which he had only read in story books! Vampire stories are often cliché with little actual plot and too much romanticism. But this was very well done. From the unique portrayal of the characteristics of "biters", to the intrigue surrounding the plot, to their relationship and all the juicy details of the particularities of being mated to a "biter". Extremely well done. I am painfully jealous of how perfect they are together. 5.

Read till 31 and just couldn't force myself to go on. The translation is pretty bad and the characters are annoying.

Looks interesting! Edit: It is! There's not a tonne of world building but somehow the setting is still pretty well done. Most vaguely Middle-Eastern stories are so offensive and ridiculous, they give me malayria. But this isn't too bad. I like the main characters, they're sweet, genuine people. But that also means they are badly getting taken advantage of. ~Ahhh Ch 5
