Gotta say anytime we focus on the chasseur's too much my interest starts fading.💀 I do feel bad for Astolfo but then he's an unhinged murdering psychopath who beat the fuck out of my boy Noé not that long ago and I'm like nahh.
We get a lot more about the dhams here too including the prejudice they face for being half-breeds, along with Noé yet again being a naive babygirl who didn't even know about it. All the vampires being nasty to the dhams in the room and Noé is like "why y'all being like this? 🤨🤨" Then Vanitas gently educating him about the dham lore lmao.
The best chapter had to be where Domi and Vanitas start bonding after they have a whole rant about how Noé's innocence and recklessness to protect other people has put him in danger so many times. They love him so much I can't stand it tbh.😭 I love how Jeanne and Noé both tell Domi they love her like we just need Vanitas and Noé saying it to each other now and then we are SET.
Very unfortunate I have run out of chapters because it's gotten so good again.😔

May 13, 2025‘This is ‘a story’. A single volume guaranteed to start in birth and end in death. Joy. Anger. Sorrow. Hope and despair. All those exist as evidence of the life that once was. They are memories, and records. Being forgotten is a pardon, but it is also a loss.’

There’s some sesbian lex going on here between Domijeanne.
On a more serious note, this volume was once again a real delight. There’s a lot of bonding in this one: we discover the emotional bond between Astolfo and Roland, Vanitas and Dominique get closer, the Dhams and Noé have some really nice interactions that tell a lot about discrimination, and Amélia and Domi also have a cute moment.
The drawings are breathtaking as always. The limites edition cover is gorgeous.
Mochijun I will always love you. I hope I won’t have to wait two more years for the next volume, but I will always be there for any stroke Mochizuki lays on paper.

« La haine donne une raison de vivre… Certains n’ont même plus que ça pour se raccrocher à leur existence… »
Background exploités et teasés.
Question des différences de milieu, de nature. Discriminations.
Intrigue qui se complexifie.
Dessins magnifiques.
Ici, nous en apprenons plus sur certains personnages, comme Astolphe, notamment. Je le trouve touchant, très intéressant : un protagoniste rongé par la haine en raison d’une perte innommable. On le comprend. De plus, je suis persuadée que Jun Mochizuki lui réserve une belle évolution.
Une nouvelle protagoniste est introduite : elle est intrigante (et magnifique, au passage : merci aux dessins toujours aussi fabuleux).
De plus, l’intrigue se complexifie. Je suis curieuse de voir où tout cela va mener (et il faudrait que je relise tout tant l’univers est riche).
Sinon, ce que j’ai aimé dans ce onzième tome, c’est la place que tient la discrimination envers les différents milieux et les différentes appartenances raciales. Noé nous offre un beau message de tolérance face à toute cette violence.

This volume ended up being great for character depth and setting up the stage for the next story arc. If that scene with Domi and Jeanne wasn’t sapphic affection, I don’t know what is.

Ce nouveau tome nous plonge encore une fois dans l’univers fascinant du Paris de Vanitas où mystère et tension ne cessent de se mêler. L’intervention inattendue de l’Inconsistant dans le dernier tome m’avait laissée sur ma fin, tout comme Noé et Vanitas, face à ses paroles énigmatiques on ne saisit pas encore tous les tournants de son projet. J’ai apprécié la manière dont l’autrice joue dans ce tome avec nos attentes, ajoutant des couches de mystère et nous laissant sur le bord de notre siège, impatients de découvrir la suite.
L’arrivée de Jean-Jacques et Chloé à Paris est une surprise bien orchestrée. Leur présence ajoute une nouvelle intrigue et ravive l’intérêt, mais elle m’a également semblé un peu précipitée. J’aurais préféré que l’auteur prenne plus de temps pour explorer leurs motivations et le contexte de leur arrivée, plutôt que de les utiliser simplement comme un levier pour faire avancer l’intrigue principale.
Visuellement, ce tome est encore une réussite. Les dessins sont toujours aussi élégants et captivants, avec une attention particulière aux détails, surtout lors des scènes de combat et des moments d’émotion intense. Cela dit, l’intrigue se disperse parfois trop, et je me suis un peu perdue au milieu des différentes sous-intrigues qui s’entremêlent dans ce tome.

DOMIJEANNE IS CANON (trust)!!!
I was so exited to FINALLY read volume 11 after years of waiting. There are so many new and cool characters this time. Marquis Machine and Charles??? I am bought.
I live for characters that have this strange angel lookalike design. Charles is everything I asked for and more. The art on the very first page? WOWOWOW
This volume was so fun to read (after surviving the depressing ass Astolpho falshback). I love him guys, don't attack me, but it was quite depressing (BUT we got some crazy Charles scenes hihihi :3)
I got both the special edition and the normal version and the nun sessions are different plus in the German version there's a typo at Misha's answer. Getting a nun Olivier AND a nun Astolpho felt like christmas. Also the sketch booklet was crazy??? Oh my god I loved this so much. Seeing Vanitas and Noé being developed was so beautiful. I was really surprised at how fast Vanitas was close to finish and how look it took her to fix Noé's design. I wonder how the side characters got developed, I really need the second part of this!
Good luck to Jean-Jaques and Chloé and also congrats to your marriage Jeanne and Domi! (they are married guys, trust me here)

This was definitely worth the wait. I thought Astolfo's backstory was over, but oh no, there was more....this wasn't a bad thing. I don't know, I just have mixed feelings about Astolfo overall. I'm hoping he'll someday learn to accept vampires, although I understand his reasoning for hating them.
My favorite part of this was when Vanitas and Domi started bonding. They ranted about Noe, showing their love for him. Then they went out together....ah I never expected them to get close at all, but I'm here for it.
It's interesting to learn more about the Dhams. Of course they'd be discriminated against....but Vanitas made a good point also about the discrimination being towards vampires too. The Dhams unfortunately have it worse, though.
I'm excited to read through more of this arc, which seems to be centered around the Dhams. For anyone wondering, this volume contains chapters 57-62.

la backstory d'astolfo m'a semblée être un peu tombée de nulle part, mais c'était vraiment intéressant de voir comment sa relation avec roland s'est construite !
l'intrigue continue à très bien se dérouler, pas trop rapide mais assez pour qu'on ne commence pas à s'ennuyer dans un arc
le rapprochement entre vanitas et dominique est très prometteur, je suis pressé de voir leur amitié dans les prochains volumes !
petite remarque personnelle : je sais bien que c'est de la fiction mais idk, faire tout un arc sur le racisme (?) que vivent les dhams, alors que le personnage principal à la peau brune dans un monde exclusivement blanc et que c'est jamais adressé d'une manière ou d'une autre, je trouve ça un peu bizarre

Reprenons notre souffle
Ce onzième tome des Mémoires de Vanitas nous permet de souffler après toutes ces péripéties autour de la bête du Gévaudan.
Chacun panse ses plaies, prend du repos et tente de comprendre les différentes implications suite aux révélations des derniers jours.
Ces moments plus calmes et posés, plus proches des personnages et de leurs relations, font énormément de bien à la lecture. Mais attention! Les aventures ne sont jamais bien loin! Et alors que l’on pense se reposer, le mal gronde dans l’ombre et l’on sait déjà que les prochains tomes repartiront sur les chapeaux de roue.
L’art de Mochizuki se bonifie à chacun de ses tomes et la beauté des dessins nous transporte autant que l’histoire.

May 29, 2025I was really curious about the dhams in this universe, which this volume covered a lot. I had heard fan theories about Vanitas possibly being a dham, himself. I could still see it!
I had taken a very long break after the anime and manga caught up together, so I need to remember more of what's happening.
I always appreciate fun little nods at France's weirder historical accounts. Previously with the beast of Gevaudan, and now here with the Count of Saint Germain. Two topics of interest to me, as someone who's into weird shit.

se avessi un nichelino per ogni volta che mochijun ha piazzato una ragazzetta con i capelli bianchi e gli occhi strani in una dimensione strana senza gravità e con giochi che fluttuano, avrei due nichelini. Che non è molto ma...
Fortunatamente questo è un volume di transizione, perché non ricordavo nulla. Mi è piaciuta sia la backstory di Astolfo sia la questione dei dhampir, però mi sto un po' perdendo con la trama a causa dei mesi che passano tra un numero e l'altro

I'm rating this 4 stars mainly because I remember enjoying it, but I don't actually remember what happens because it's been so long since the chapters came out. The first one in this volume is from THREE YEARS AGO. This manga will definitely be one I'll be rereading when it finishes publishing to properly enjoy it, although that likely won't happen for a very long time.

First manga past the current anime. Noé should be worried about Vanitas and Domi getting along now lmao. Unexpectedly but interestingly, it also got, pretty heatedly, into discrimination issues... and (separate group) assault... there was a lot of lore to this volume actually...

C'était très chouette, les dessins sont toujours aussi sublimes, il y avait des moments drôles et touchants mais... je ne me rappelais quasiment plus de rien de l'intrigue, ça faisait trop longtemps que j'ai lu les tomes précédents 😆😅
