おまえが世界をこわしたいなら 1 [Omae ga Sekai o Kowashitai nara 1]
Koizumi Kanna is infatuated with the man who came to the restaurant she works at and ordered a burger with no onions. Little does she know, Toujou Ren is interested in her as well, but for a different reason. Kanna just so happens to be the mirror image of a woman he knew a very long time ago. It is for that reason that he saves her when she nearly dies in a car accident. But the life he gives Kanna is far different from the one she lived before, and she's not certain it's the kind she wants...

Also known as Vampire Girl in the Taiwanese translation, this 3 parts series is a teenage vampire romance--but thankfully the author has no taste for cliched love story. Instead Vampire Girl is a painful, dark story although at first it might not look the part. Still this series is nothing you would have expected. The ending also comes with a beautiful, sad twist.
Edited@12/04/2018:
A teenage girl met a mysterious young man who constantly showed up at her workplace. The girl fell in love with the boy even though she had never talked to him, and her love-interest seemed to be completely oblivious of her affection.
What she didn’t know was that the boy, who went by with a fake name ‘Ren’, was actually a vampire who had been in existence for a few hundreds years, and he too had been secretly taking notice of the girl, simply because she reminded him strongly of a female vampire girl (in the form of a very young girl) whom was his Sire and lost lover……when the girl was fatally wounded in a car crush, the boy was forced to turn her into a vampire. What they didn’t know was that the girl's turning would be a point of no return and the wheel of tragedy had already been spun for them both.
Also known by its English title: "If You Wanna Break Out This World", Vampire Girl is coolly and delicately illustrated with an angst undertone, it’s a 'star-crossed lovers' story which might at first look a little similar with Twilight(dear me!), but as the story progresses the readers would likely to be drawn to Ren’s dark past and experiencing with him and his fellow vampiric companions the lonely existence of immortals. To a cursed fate which sanity was constantly threatened by unavoidable pain, sorrow, longing, madness and loss which come together with living for too long; that even the love of a soul mate might not be enough to be the redemption.

I'm very partial to Kaoru Fujiwara's style; ever since reading this manga as a fan-translated scan on MangaTraders (rest in peace, old friend) many years ago, I've liked using her art for my icons and avatars. There's a certain emotion that it provokes that I like.
Omae ga Sekai o Kowashitai Nara, which translates to something like "If You Want to Destroy the World" and is also commonly called "Vampire Girl" is a rather fascinating manga with an unexpected story mixed with Ms. Fujiwara's usual flare for the dark and complex. Be warned now: this manga has some brutality to it.
I'd like to first mention that the fan-translations can't always agree on how to write the names. Kanna is sometimes called Wana. Maria is sometimes called Maruya. Sainishi Akira is sometimes called Cecille. There's a lot of confusion about who's named what but I'll stick to just one name for reach character.
This story initially presents itself as a typical vampire story: an old, bitter vampire sees a woman who reminds him of someone in his past and, on impulse when she's in danger of dying, transforms her and they form a relationship based on his sense of responsibility for her. However, the further we go, the more we realize there's much more at work here. The goals of the manga are far less idealistic and nice; there's something stark and harsh to this tale. The past is very important to this tale and there are themes of reincarnation, eternal damnation, ideas of souls, fate, and the quandaries of redemption, guilt, and the meaning of life.
It's hard to talk about without explaining the whole plot and spoiling basically everything, but I will say that this story focuses a lot on the idea of reincarnation and fate and cycles and flaws... but there still being something beautiful about it, how it continues to exist in spite of how broken it is. I think if you're into more philosophical, vague stories with some darkness that you might very much enjoy this manga! But if you like more upfront tales with a happy ending, this will probably come across as confusing or simply depressing.
A dream of a child playing with a shiny, rolling object...
This is one of those manga that has enough depth and vagueness to be somewhat profound. There's also a large degree of darkness and something cynical and somber. It's actually somewhat hard to read, but I think for an older audience it leaves a sense of wondering about what everything means. I actually quite like it.
Trigger warnings for: rape, human captivity, blood, murder, abuse, snuff, violence.

Can't say that I'm too impressed by this first volume. The art is underwhelming most of the time (occasionally we'll get a glimpse of beautiful character design, but it's pretty rare), especially for the scenery, which is just abysmal. Most of the time you're not sure what character is saying what, and what they do say isn't terribly interesting. However, there's good atmosphere, and the potential for an interesting story. I really hope the other volumes are better.
