Chibi Vampire, Vol. 07

Soll deine zarte Liebe vielleicht doch schon ihr ende gefunden haben?


Zum Inhalt (Booklet):
Karin ist verzweifelt, denn Kenta geht ihr konsequent aus dem Weg - dabei beruht doch alles nur auf einem riesengroßen Missverständnis! Doch dann fasst sie sich ein Herz und sagt ihm endlich die ganze Wahrheit... Haben Karin und Kenta noch eine Chance?

Cover:
Das Cover zeigt Karin und Kenta wie sie Rücken an Rücken stehen und dabei schüchtern Händchen halten. Das ist ein sehr schönes Cover und vermittelt auch gleich, dass es sich bei diesem Band um die zarte Liebe der beiden Protagonisten dreht. Das ist schön und passend. Auch gibt es Hoffnung, da der letzte Band doch einen ziemlich fiesen Cliffhänger hatte.

Eigener Eindruck:
Nachdem Karin Kenta die Wahrheit gesagt hat, hat dieser sie eiskalt sitzen lassen. Schlimm und auch ein Grund ihr Leid bei ihrer Freundin zu klagen, doch auch der kann Karin nicht die volle Wahrheit sagen! Das ist doch zum verrückt werden! Doch schon bald trifft Karin auf Kentas Vater und erfährt von ihm die ganze dramatische Familiengeschichte. Karin beginnt zu verstehen was Kenta bewegt und wie er eigentlich richtig denkt. Als Karin Kenta begegnet beißt sie ihn endlich und die beiden scheinen sich wieder anzunähern und zu verstehen. Hat die Liebe der beiden nun eine Chance?

Der siebte Teil der Reihe „Cheeky Vampire“ überzeugt wieder einmal mit tollen Zeichnungen, einem gewissen Witz und natürlich ganz viel Vampirkram und Liebe. Die Mischung macht´s ja bekanntlich und so fliegen die Seiten auch hier wieder nur dahin. Der Manga macht Spaß, er bietet etwas fürs Herz und er bleibt durchgängig spannend, sodass man sich schon auf den nächsten Teil freut, bei dem die beiden hoffentlich endgültig zueinander finden. Klasse fand ich in diesem Band vor allem die Aufklärung von Kentas Familiengeschichte, sodass man seine Eigenarten endlich verstehen kann und auch endlich noch besser in ihn hineinversetzen kann. Eigentlich dürfte dem Happy End ja nun nichts mehr im Wege stehen oder?

Fazit:
Von mir gibt es für diesen süßen siebten Band eine absolute Leseempfehlung. Ich mag es, wenn die Zeichen auf Happy End stehen.

After letting her feelings out about how happy she feels to have Kenta in her life, someone who knows her secrets and doesn’t judge her, who eases her loneliness when she’s out in the daylight with humans, Karin has finally pushed through her shyness and told Kenta how she feels.

However, when learning that she’s drawn to blood types of those who have suffered misfortune, Kenta initially reacts poorly thinking all her attention and their friendship was out of pity but as they reconnect, he realizes that was never the case and wanting to help her control the blood increase she feels around him, Kenta asks Karin to bite him and give him her excess blood.

Kenta and his mother also decide to face his father who wanted to set things right and apologize for not being there first them. Kenta also faces his own feelings of being thought of as “unwanted” something he dealt with when he and his mother had to live with his grandmother before they fled the neglectful situation for a fresh start. Maybe it was Karin’s bite or maybe it’s the start of something deeper than friendship but both of them are starting to feel more at home and less lonely now with each other.

Per adesso, questo è il mio volume preferito!

Da un lato si scopre cos'è successo con il padre di Kenta, anche se non capisco il suo desiderio di sparire completamente dalla vita del figlio. Dall'altro, finalmente Karin morde Kenta e si accorge che dopo il suo sangue non aumenta più...

L'autrice riesce a gestire entrambi i momenti in un modo favoloso!

Sempre più contenta di aver comprato la serie!

We learn more about why Kenta's mom ran away from home with him and what exactly is up with his dad. Karin also finally bites him and her family is just gonna have to deal with them being friends (or more than friends? (obviously they are end game)). This is the last volume I own. While this one and the last one are much better then like 2-5, I don't think I will be finishing the series. It's too long and I don't want to be disappointed if there's another dip in quality.

Up in the air

Hmm...not sure how I feel about the problem being resolved, but I am happy that it made Kenta and Karin grow closer. Can't wait for the next volume. Still feel they should've added Kenta's father into the anime. Nice big dose of drama there.

[Misto · Rating 2 out of 5]

I mean sure, I guess the story about Kenta's dad reached a satisfying conclusion but that's about everything interesting that happened in this volume. Well, that other thing too, but I won't spoil it.

[Kris Ivy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Oh, Karin. Kenta finally settles all of the stuff going on with his dad.

[Samantha · Rating 4 out of 5]

O finaaaaaal!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[Caity McPhe · Rating 5 out of 5]

Kenta got answers!

[Samantha Riccio · Rating 5 out of 5]

So like, half of their issues get resolved because of her biting him because he was like 'Yeah bite me, do it.' And so she did it and now they're chill but in the end are they really???

[David Doel · Rating 4 out of 5]

This volume ended a story begun in volume 6. We now know more about Kenta Usai and his family. Again, the manga is unusual in the sense that family is an important part of the story.

[Bill Fish · Rating 4 out of 5]

This series could have ended with this book. I am interested what story they tell after this!

[J-Lynn · Rating 4 out of 5]

I don’t remember this series! Because of that, I am squealing like a little girl anytime something exciting happens! Go, Karin! Get your man! (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑

[R · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another great volume with some awesome resolution and suspense. The emotions on the characters faces is amazing. I love the illustrations.

[Priscilla Pereira · Rating 4 out of 5]

Esse volume é a continuação e conclusão do arco da história da família Usui e como esse drama afeta a Karin a ponto de causar atritos entre ela e sua própria família.
Esse volume em conjunto com o anterior é o ponto alto do drama e da tensão romântica entre Karin e Usui até agora. Também é o maior e mais “sério” dos arcos até o momento.

[Greta is Erikasbuddy · Rating 5 out of 5]

This volume is by far my most favorite right now.

We totally learn even more about Kenta and his estranged dad and where they are going to go from there. Kenta's Dad comes into the story and is looking for him and his mom. As is a detective that his grandma hired. Kenta's gma is a royal snob and we find out that she is basically the reason why the family never had a happily ever after. But there's a tad bit more to it that I didn't see coming.

As for Karin and Kenta updates omg... the next best thing to kissing happened and eeee!! a couple of nibble nibbles.

I felt the artwork in this was most awesome and I really really enjoyed the author's comic strip about how she wanted to murder editor. I love those little things at the end.

I'm looking forward to the next volume and hope with the nibble de nibble zomg will bring Karin and Kenta into a young love budding relationship that will make me go squee!!

[Rebecca · Rating 4 out of 5]

I thoroughly enjoyed this manga novel. I was fully immersed in the world of Karin and her vampire family that I devoured this in no time at all. I loved the humour that arose from time to time. I found myself laughing out loud at little bits and pieces.
The storyline is a good one, it was very interesting and so I just kept reading it until I reached the end.
I felt as though I got to know the characters better and I really like all of them.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed Chibi Vampire Volume 7, it was funny, and it was also a deeply engrossing manga. I'd recommend this to the manga fans out there and also fans of the vampire theme.

[Andrew Swanson · Rating 4 out of 5]

This volume concludes the story arc of Kenta's past, and our lovers are reconciled with a first bite that blows everyone away. The Markers are just going to have to accept that they're stuck with Usui Kenta for the time being.

I really liked this volume a lot, especially that SCENE! Ah! So squee-worthy. Unfortunately I don't have access to any more after this at this time... but hopefully soon, I will! ;)

[quinnster · Rating 4 out of 5]

These are super cute and fun to read. Karin is a klutz and pretty much hilarious. I love Anju's creepiness and her dolls are definitely up there in the scary factor. I didn't expect the interesting side stories going on while Karin is still trying to figure out how to seal with Kenta so those are an added bonus.

I'm looking forward to delving into the rest of the series!

[Setsanata · Rating 5 out of 5]

When Kenta discovers Karins true feelings about him, their relationship shatters. Both sides struggle to deal with the thought of losing the one they love. Is there light at the end of the tunnel for them?

[Katt Hansen · Rating 5 out of 5]

My heart did a little happy dance at the end of this volume. I had to just stare at that last panel for awhile...the hands touching...oh my...so sweet...You KNOW it can't go this smoothly from here. But gosh this made me smile!

[Mike · Rating 5 out of 5]

Quick thoughts: Another great volume to bring us to the halfway point of the manga. Kenta's family issues and the revelation from last volume and its effects all combine and will have lasting impact on our leads.

[Stacey · Rating 3 out of 5]

Wow, resolution! Well some resolution anyway. And some of the best kind of resolution too. The resolution that opens new problems.

[Trip · Rating 3 out of 5]

End of the plot arc about Kenta's family.

Awww. I am disappointed. I can't find the 6th volume so I skipped and read this volume instead. And I think I'll stop reading this manga. :((
