Hot on the trail of a murderer, Isuzu is deep undercover at the school where the victim went. This murder investigation quickly leads to a confrontation that nobody wins, least of all the reader.
Oh good lord, what happened? This entire story arc could be shortened to ‘a girl is killed and displayed in grisly fashion, wackiness ensues’. Shonen seems to be more susceptible to quick tonal shifts than most manga and boy does this go down the dumb hole real fast.
I never thought I would say this, but I really miss the ridiculously over-the-top fighting in this series. There was some solid action, Isuzu and Baroque would flirt, I’d smack three stars on the review and wait for the next volume. It was all so simple.
This school arc absolutely wastes so much potential. The best part comes when Isuzu is being too cool and too attractive to the students, so he has to remake himself into a total doofus who can’t walk down the hall without falling over. That’s both clever and a reasonably good gag.
But again, please remember a grisly murder occurred at some point. Anyway, the suspected bad guy turns out to not be the actual culprit and instead we get introduced to Lapis, who gets really into Isuzu and has serious beef with Baroque.
Lapis is kind of a waste and the story manages to fumble all over his hypnosis power in the course of the volume. At first its continued use removes him from people’s memory, but when he offers to help Isuzu later it’s suddenly a one and done thing.
And Lapis has potential, he just wants to be Isuzu’s… friend… and that relationship is very amusing in practice, but it’s a lot of chuff on something that was running much more efficiently before. Had Lapis been amazing, maybe I’d be more charitable, but he fits in with what the story became, not what it was.
Anyway, the real culprit is boring as hell and his big plan is so stupid that he’s lucky he didn’t blow his own head off when carrying it out. Fortunately his revenge is thwarted, but only to bring back a former villain and her new entourage.
It all involves Isuzu’s past and more mind control that makes exactly no sense because none of it is explained, amidst a plan to kill all the city’s vampires that probably could have used a little more explanation than we get.
Look, there’s a fine line between totally crazy and completely stupid and it’s not easy to walk that line, especially with manga. This series had been doing okay up to this point, but it really wastes so much time, including mine, by the end. I actually like dumb fun, but you have to have both parts, not just one.
2 stars - what happens when your high-octane, amusing, and mildly spicy story is suddenly none of those things? This book, that’s what. I really think that I might just let those returns diminish to nothing and drop the series at this point.

I have to say, this series is starting to grow on me... This volume is again another improvement from volume 2. I feel like each volume is better than the previous one and that's making me want to continue reading it.

This volume felt very “middle of a trilogy” syndrome, wherein you’re mostly just waiting around for the cool stuff to start up again.
