      From: bliss-sf4ever@dslextreme.com              BLOOD LAD Manga       ブラッドラッド; 我              想做吸血鬼; Buraddo Raddo; Кровавый Парень       Released: Author(s): Artist(s): Genre(s):       2009 Kodama Yuuki Kodama Yuuki Action, Comedy, Ecchi, Fantasy,       Romance, Seinen, Supernatural              Staz is the vampire boss of a section of the demon world, but he has       little interest in human blood. He's more infatuated with Japanese       culture. When he learns that Yanagi Fuyumi, a Japanese teenage girl,       accidentally wanders into the demon city, he jumps to the occasion.       However, while Staz deals with an intruder on his turf, the oblivious       Fuyumi is killed by a monster and becomes a wandering ghost. The       disappointed Staz vows to her that he will find a way to bring Fuyumi       back to life.                ==================================         I have only read the first chapter or two of this so far.       It seems to be of acceptable quality.               Staz lives in Hell and is a boss of his area.        He has never encountered a living human before.        Now this discards the part of the Vampire story       that would have started him out as a living human, He       looks like a human but is a demon.               I read a lot of vampire stories myself and       some tell of vampires that do not conform to the       mythos. Some more awful than the mythos and others       where Vampires are practically benign. One       suchv are Lynsay Sands Vampire stories where       the Immortals are technological marvels from       Atlantis who survive because of nano-machines       in their blood streams which machines run       on the blood as autos on gasoline.        In ancient times after the fall of       Atlantis the Immortals resorted to obtaining       extra blood for the nano-machines any way       they could.        Today they use blood banks of which       they own enough to avoid attacking humans unless       they go mad. The big event of each story is       an omnicompetent vampire finding a mate and       marrying her and converting her to an Immortal       as well. Roughly these fall into the category       of "bodice rippers" or tales for women and       ladies who need some fantasy.               I like the stories Sands writes       more than Anne Rice's tales of the       Vampire Lestat.               Well if you like Vampires try out       Blood Lad manga.               bliss              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
