![]() What really surprised me was how quickly I was sucked in by the story, and how surprised I was to reach the end of the book - it really just flew by. This is the sort of vampire story that's likely to appeal to fans of more than just BL - while the romance is certainly there, there's nothing here to earn the 18+ rating, at least in this volume. Going into this I wasn't sure what to expect, but what I got was an unexpectedly compelling story that was fast moving and plot-dense, full of action and violence and suspense. ![]() The panel where Lou discovers Sein being crucified is amazing, showing the artistic sensibility of a woman at the top of her craft. This isn't your average pretty book, but the art is absolutely stunning. She has an excellent sense of the dramatic, and manages deeply emotional faces and dynamic action sequences with equal skill. The CG color art on the cover doesn't really show off Kusumoto's art to its best advantage - the incredible detail and dense shading really looks best in black and white. ![]() The art here is quite unusual, dark and heavy, which fits the gothic tone of the book nicely. ![]()
