Cute androgynous vampire, demons, and a black cat, oh my!
On a dare, Kanata has to ring the bell in a deserted church, but when the floor gives way, he accidentally unearths a vampire who then kills him. However, Kanata is saved by his unknowingly magical cross, that also binds both of their souls together. Now they must work together to find a mysterious priest to undo the curse binding them and figure out Titi's (the vampire's) mysterious past, all the while fending off demons who awoke when Titi did.
While small scenes were a bit cringy, I enjoyed the overall the relationship between the characters, and the characters themselves, along with what was shown of the story. The art was good, polished and pretty looking, with good action scenes and pretty boy aesthetic.
This volume, as far as I can tell, is a one shot, however it ends on a cliff hanger with quite a bit more story to be told. I don't regret getting it, however knowing that it ends with a cliff hanger with seemingly no resolve in the future, I do feel like I would rather have got something else that I could feel satisfied when I finish reading.

This is an incomplete story with the rest of the existing chapters only availble online. I would be interested in seeing where it goes but it appears the mangaka is no longer publishing anything. I enjoy the gender fluidity and action in this story. I was hooked from the beginning and I wish it would have been completed.
The online chapters: the sequence is angelic magic that is repairing Kanata's heart, Titi requested to be sealed, the priest Father Kamura is actually an angel, Titi can use magic higher than what is expected from him and regains his memories during the battle with the 2 Five Elements guys, Father Kamura dies,

I volunteer at my local library, and my supervisor, knowing that I read a fair amount of manga, asked me to review this book to potentially add to the library's collection. A member of the public had donated the volume to the library.
Sequence has more than one volume published, but only one volume was published in English by Tokyopop before it ran out of business. That was reason enough for the library not to add the book as the book ends without any resolution. In addition, nothing stood out in this story - the pacing was disjointed, the characterization flat, the art unimpressive.

So, I actually kind of enjoyed this book. It was a pretty straight three stars, and I would have liked to read more, had it not been for the fact that this is the first book in a series and I didn’t know that. I almost want to rate it lower because of this.
Now, my main problem with this being the first in a series, is that the book does not say it’s volume one. It does not have a number on it, leading me to believe that it’s a one-shot, stand-alone manga. It’s not. There’s even a bit of a cliffhanger.
And this wasn’t even a newer release by Tokyopop, like before they shut down; it was apparently released in 2006 and they shut down in 2011. I don’t understand why they would have released one volume, without even putting it on the book that it’s volume one, when they could have released more. That just doesn’t make any sense to me.
And there are apparently sixteen chapters, this volume includes six, and the author has maybe stated that the series isn’t finished.
The fact that I bought this book recently, assuming it to be a one-shot, and found out later that it’s actually part of a series, upsets me.
And, I don’t really have much else to say; don’t even know what else to say. I mean, the book was actually a bit interesting; the story line was interesting, I wanted to find out more about Titi and where he came from, this maybe vampire who I’m not totally sure is a boy, and wouldn’t mind knowing more about the other characters as well: the main character, Kanata, and his three friends. It didn’t leave me dying for more, but it did leave me wanting to know more.
But, just, what’s the point? It’s not all translated online and it was last updated in 2008, and Tokyopop didn’t even bother to put it on the book that it’s not a stand-alone. It might not even be finished in Japan.
I would have liked this book, but the way Tokyopopt went about it just angers me so much; I wouldn’t suggest anyone pick it up, just for the fact that you’re not going to get any sort of ending.
