For the "Is Sanami Matoh possibly asexual read" (Nah)
First read: idk probably in high school (c. 2008)
Observation 1 - The Claudia/Louis thing is obviously Interview With the Vampire. There's also an Armand. I can just see Anne Rice rolling around in anger if she had a clue. Oh hell, I don't know, she might. For those who don't know: she's very against fanfiction or fanart or any interpretation of her characters that are not hers to the point of harassing the creators who weren't profiting from it.
Observation 2 - Enter the shotacon, the lolicon. Let your mind go wild!
Again, more queer beach read than anything else. A fun read, but not much else to be found here.

Review originally published on Mangaupdates.com on December 24, 2009.
From the down town New York police beat in Fake to the fantasy world of werewolves, vampires and the rare gender-changing hybrid in this 2-tankobon long tale, she's got it all: humour, intrigue, an underlying romance, and emotions ranging from murderous envy to tender forgiveness.
The two main characters are devoted almost from the very start, even though Marlo is a bit rough around the edges in displaying his love. All the secondary characters stand on their own two feet with vivid personalities that weave around the main two characters in a true, believable fashion to really create a 'community' in this fantastical world of mysterious creatures and magic.
The art is full of 90s fashion and the manga illustration style of the era. If you liked, for example, CLAMP's earlier 80s/90s style such as [i]RG Vega[/i], this will appeal to you as well. Matoh-sensei's takes extreme care in some background scenes, watching for great detail. She also takes extreme care in a select outfit details as well. I, for one, found it titillating to see styles I remembered portrayed so perfectly from the hair to the toes! Her extremely wide eyes and copious eyelashes are so dominate in some of the frames that I lost myself in the emotion of them.
I really liked the art of Marlo: even when he changed into a woman, you could still see his man characters only with softened edges (albeit, always bishounen). Speaking of artful, the English licence book is tangibly beautiful, published with thick, bright pages and and a clean print job.
This lassy sure knows how to write a fun, light-hearted story! And that is were her focus is: A fast-paced plot driven by the interwoven lives of the characters. Although ever present, she doesn't focus on the sexual intimacy; that part is always kept minimized. In fact, if you remember Dee and Ryo's final consummation in volume 7 of Fake you'll know her style for intimacy scenes for this one as well.

I feel like the ending was sort of anticlimatic... but it was still a fun story overall based on a unique/fun/interesting concept.

This is a hot mess and nothing at all like I had hoped it would be. I would have rather had your stereotypical vampires and werewolves story over whatever this is trying to be.

I actually quite liked the themes in the first one, which (at least at the time I read it) seemed to be that love is based on who you are and not what you are. I'm not sure if this sequel was so disappointing for me because of the long gap of time between when I read the two (when I had further exposure to other stories about non-het couples), or just that this one was a lot worse.
There were still a few interesting plot points in this one, but most of the time it just felt like the author had changed their mind about the themes of book 1 and now wanted to straight-ify the couple as much as possible in this book. The gender-swapping character seemed to spend way more time as a woman, and there was a lot of emphasis on having babies.
Ultimately the story does go back to love beyond gender-swapping, but I didn't have that warm fond feeling with this one as I did with the first manga. Honestly if you're not deeply obsessed with this manga, I think the first one is better as a standalone.

New enemies and well-meaning friends make matters even more complicated for David and the gender-switching Marlo. Marlo’s jealousy is cute as is his attempts to keep the amorous David at arm’s length until they are married. Here we deal with more backstory and the internal struggle of Marlo as he strives to hide his feelings. The story comes to a satisfactory conclusion but not without some delightful bumps along the way.

Second of two volumes in which the hero (son of a vampire and werewolf) turns into a woman at full moon.
More spanners in the works before our sweethearts can get married, the most amusing of which has Marlo turn into a child after drinking some magic wine.
As good as the first volume. Nice lite fun.

3 1/2 stars. The series wraps up with volume 2. Basically, this one was just okay. Nothing spectacular, but not horrible either. I imagine I'll have forgotten it by Tuesday.

Same review as first volume, except no wonder there are only two. So tired of asshole male protagonists with sweet male protagonists who are less forceful bu still want to be with the asshole.

This has some of 'My Boyfriend is a Vampire' aspects, but in a different way. I thought it was a good short romance manga :)
