never knew i needed this type of story until now. don't mind me, just obsessing over the cutest vampire EVER (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶) !!
September 22, 2024
This was everything I was hoping it would be and more!
I LOVE HINA!!!!
Kyuta isn't bad, but Hina is definitely the fictional character I would love to live through because her life is SO much fun! I admire how she moved to Japan to live out her otaku activities in "real time," whether that was through pilgrimage, going to collab cafes, special viewings, and so forth. She is so free-spirited and found her relatable because of how naive she was because girl, SAME!
Now that I've fangirled about Hina, I really really liked Kyuta too! He may be a tsundere but I quickly found him endearing and definitely not a total jerk as you see in quite a few moments in how he cares for Hina and is looking after her. I also really liked how we saw his motivations very early on about why he was adamant that he wanted Hina to not go out at night and just live overall safely. He is very much a great guy!
The story itself was fantastic! I wouldn't say a LOT happens, but I loved everything that did, including the cliffhanger!
Very very VERY excited for the next volume and how much this lived up to my high expectations for this new series! Definitely would recommend it if you're looking for a fun shoujo comedy with vampires!

Okay, Otaku Vampire was not at all what I expected. The manga was quite dark and had a few surprising twists. Not at all the cute and fluffy narrative the blurb promised. Don’t get me wrong, there was some fluff, but be prepared for some darker themes.
Unfortunately, the story has a few consistency issues. Sometimes, the main character can walk in the sun. Sometimes she uses an umbrella. Vampires don’t seem to be able to recognise each other, but they all stick out like sore thumbs. I feel like we’re missing some important details which might get explained later on.
Will I continue this series? Not sure.

”…Why? Why are you in a country like Japan?”
“Cuz I love Japanese anime.”
Amanatsu has a delicious scent to him that draws in all sorts of vampires. That does not, however, include his next door neighbour, Hina. No, Hina’s a massive otaku who worships an anime character Amanatsu resembles. Okay, yes, she’s also a vampire.
This one got a shot from me because, of all the manga I haven’t managed to finish but want to, Julietta Suzuki’s Kamisama Kiss is at the top of that rather long list. I became a big fan of that series so coming in at the latest ground floor was a given.
The changes to her art style are quite impressive. I didn’t hate her old style, but her characters were done in that spindly shojo style that doesn’t always land for me. Seeing Hina look like she’s eaten in the last two years (ironic, given that she does not) was a nice surprise.
This is more heartfelt than it is hilarious, although it is pretty silly. Hina is an absolutely winning heroine though, and more than enough to get a big thumbs up. The secret here is how dang nice she is.
When it’s revealed that she’s been a shut-in for the last 30 years (before her dad lures her out with anime), I was bracing for her to be an over-the-top nerd who badgers everybody she comes across about her hobby. As somebody who has spent time in that role, one tends to expect the worst.
Instead, Hina is effusive, but not obnoxiously so, and walks a fine tightrope of being way into Mao, one of the characters from the in-universe anime, and his merch, while trying to make friends who share her hobby. It’s very charming.
Her incredible sweetness is cut by the prickly Amanatsu, who is classic tsundere, although he definitely starts off far closer to ‘arse’. Still, he indulges Hina in her hobby, which winds up saving him from servitude to another vampire and starts the romance path.
They play a lot with how much Amanatsu looks like Mao, but I loved that he shuts that fantasy down pretty quickly. Amidst the revelation that a little hanky panky would prevent Amanatsu from being such a vampire delicacy, naturally.
As things slowly start to thaw, I do love the little quirks to their friendship. Amanatsu is decidedly not interested in anime, but he does eventually give things a shot, which is very nice of him. They’re an odd pairing, but I definitely don’t hate them together.
The last part of the book introduces Amanatsu’s friends, who are slightly less interesting, although the one guy who doesn’t realize that he is NOT the male lead in a shojo manga gets really funny.
Making friends with somebody who just tried to murder you in dramatic fashion is a little wild, but it makes for a cute capstone. Vampire powers in this are absolutely as vague as they come, but there’s enough to work with and Hina gets some cool moments.
It’s a lot like Kamisama Kiss, inasmuch as it has a tsundere male lead and blends the supernatural into an ongoing romance plot with occasional dramatics and action. That’s no bad thing because it doesn’t feel derivative, just different.
And Hina is really the secret sauce that makes this one especially fun. She’s sheltered, she’s naive, but she isn’t stupid and she’s not annoying. She just wants to love anime and stan her fictional fave. Most of us can relate.
4 stars - I think the first sections are a full stop 5 star start, but the latter arc with the friends is only pretty good. Let them meet in the middle for now and then wait and see, but this is one of the most fun new shojo I’ve read lately.

I received a copy of this book for free from the publisher (Viz Media) for promotional purposes.
What an adorable manga! A vampire being obsessed with a vampire anime was a fun premise. It was so meta!
The main character, Hina, was extremely lovable. She’s a reclusive vampire from Romania who travels to Japan because of an anime. She’s considered an otaku (which essentially means she’s a huge fangirl of anime) and her personality was so cute. I loved how she was powerful when it came to her vampire abilities but still super sweet to everyone (she doesn’t even drink blood from humans and instead uses blood bags). She was also very relatable in her pursuit of otaku activities (visiting collaboration cafes, doing pilgrimages, collecting merch, etc.). She was the perfect protagonist.
The male lead, Kyuta, was also a delight. He was prickly at first but gradually warms up to Hina and becomes protective over her. I enjoyed seeing their friendship blossom.
The story ends with a cliffhanger that makes me very intrigued to see where it ends up going.
As for the art style, I liked that the vampire parts were differentiated by using more black ink to convey a darkness.
Overall, this was a fantastic start to the series! If you love vampires or can relate to being an obsessive fan, you’ll love this one.

I just melted into a puddle of goo!
Hina is a shut-in vampire who goes to Japan after her father gives her an anime called Vampire Cross. She wants to live her otaku dream and meets her neighbour, who looks exactly like her crush in the anime.
She only drinks blood from blood bags. There is more to her than meets the eye.
Kyuta likes to keep to himself, but as soon as Hina makes his acquaintance - he reluctantly becomes engrossed in her life.
Be ready for a cuteness adventure! I am so sad that Volume 2 hasn't been released yet . . .
I want more of Hina's adventures.

ABSOLUTE BANGER. the fmc is so cute and i love her dynamic with the mmc. im really excited to read more!
September 26, 2024
This was a lot of fun. Hina is so cute and her endless enthusiasm is contagious. Kyuta is grumpy and protective in the best way, and just overall a good person. I definitely want more backstory for Hina to see who she is outside of her otaku self, but I'm excited to see where this goes.

December 10, 2025Look, when I heard there's a manga about a Romanian vampire obsessed with anime, who moves to Japan because it's too hard to get merch in Transylvania, my first reaction was "that sounds dumb," and my second was "wait, I'm Romanian and really like anime, so maybe this is up my alley."
This is basically junk food. It's... fine. The taste isn't disagreeable, but really, what's the point? There's technically a plot involving a surprising amount of vampires in Tokyo and a rather dark storybeat about a poor boy with "sweet-smelling blood" who's been stalked and abused by them--but it's setup for the FMC to save the day and then the psychological effects are completely forgotten. The plot serves more as a thin veneer of story to create scaffolding for slice-of-life vignettes, some of which are genuinely funny in an out-of-pocket "did that really just happen" sort of way. The romance is vibes; the MMC is basically a genderbent tsundere. Okay, fine, far be it from me to say nobody will ever find it attractive.
Though... I must address the elephant in the room. Why is the FMC Romanian? Besides a few panels' backstory (to put it generously), she's just an otaku. There is nothing in her personality or mannerisms that says this is a Romanian girl, except her vampirism. Her name is HINA, even (for names that don't feel too alien to a Japanese audience, 'Naomi' is *right there*, among other options). She has been in Tokyo for weeks and not once craved sarmale; I cry 'inauthentic.' /s

this was such a sweet introductory volume! I fell in love with the characters already.
the main character Hina reminded me a lot of myself regarding the obsession with a fictional character lol. she's so relatable for that.
Kyuta is also chef's kiss. I want Hina and him to get together so baddd. 😭
also unexpected friendship? here for that!
the artwork is also adorable and I flew through the pages, I couldn't get enough! I wanted to know more.
now, I do believe this volume is more of an introduction to the series as not a lot of things have really happened, but it was still cute and hooked me right from the start! I can already tell I'll be recommending this to those who love vampires. 🦇

This kept swinging back and forth between what a silly goofy book to omg this might be getting kind of dark and serious... and then all the way back to silly goofy again. can't wait to see how this progresses.

It's super cute so far. Hina is so much fun, and I like her relationship with Kyuta and his friends. I'm definitely going to try and continue with the series.

Let me start off by saying that I LOVE Julietta Suzuki!! When I saw that she had a new series out, I RAN. This is the first volume in a new series about a vampire girl named Hina who is an otaku and is living on her own for the first time. Her next door neighbor looks exactly like her favorite character and they strike up a weird friendship. I can't wait to see what the next volumes have to bring- this was so fun!
If you like:
▪︎Otaku girls
▪︎vampires
▪︎found family
▪︎and budding friendships
give this a shot!

This was so much fun. Hina is a vampire from Romania who moves to Japan to be closer to her favourite anime, Vampire Cross. Collecting merchandise, attending fan events, and watching the anime are literally the only things she does. Before that, she’s been a shut-in for 30 years, so despite her age, she’s totally clueless about the world. She knows not to tell she’s a vampire though, and she only drinks blood from bags.
Her neighbour, Kyuta, happens to look exactly like her favourite character, Mao, so she becomes instantly obsessed with him. He’s totally different person though, but despite trying to keep his distance with rude behaviour, he finds himself helping Hina and rescuing her again and again. But he has a secret too: he knows vampires are real.
The two get to all sorts of scrapes as she looks for likeminded people to share her obsession with. But just as she finds one, her new bodyguard her father has sent shows up. And he wants to take her back home! I’ll have to read on to find out what happens next.

January 28, 2025A lot of things about this were cute and fun and really enjoyable but I felt deeply weirded out that the gay character and the fruity guy (the only queer or queerish characters) were literal predators literally preying on the love interest... so idk how I feel now tbh.

Oh my goodness WHERE DO I START?!
I love this manga even more than I thought I would 😍😭 Hina speaks to my nerdy heart in so many ways. I totally relate!! Her passionate love for Vampire Cross and Mao, her oshi, are easily felt through the pages. I couldn't stop thinking about how I felt similarly about so many different characters!
I'm ecstatic to see what I feel is an accurate representation of Otaku too. I have a tendency to cringe seeming them portrayed sometimes 😅 But this felt very true to life. I know I struggle to make friends too, and if I'm leaving the house it's usually for the sake of something anime or book related 😂 Seeing that struggle on the page was encouraging and made me feel less alone in that way.
I like Hoshino as well!! My heart aches for him 😭 I totally understand the struggle of constantly feeling ill and just wanting to go out and have fun with the people you care about! I hope we see more of him 🩵
Overall, I love the fun vampire theme. The vampire heritage system is so cool! Very creative! The plot is fantastic, the characters are well rounded, pacing is absolutely perfect, and the art is adorable!!
I highly recommend this one!! Please give it a try 🙏

💋 Smexy stuff: Little to none currently (the biting the neck portion is mildly sexualized)
⚔️ Violence: None, just a little blood on and off
🤬 Language: Little to none

This was such a sweet and funny confection of a manga. I practically binged it in one sitting (okay, one afternoon, two sittings!) because it was just that hard to put down.
Hina is a young vampire, formerly a shut-in in Romania, who moves to Japan to live her best life. The catch? She’s a rabid anime fan and her best life is living otaku-style: collecting merch, visiting pop-up cafes, and obsessing over her favorite character. When she sees that her next door neighbor looks just like her fave, she just has to talk to him.
And he just smells so sweet…
Loved this and wish I already had the next volume on hand. Five PLUS stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️++

Some fans might dislike how Kyuta is such a tsundere and maybe even a little cynical or mean, but I think he perfectly balances Hina’s naivety and purity.
I can see parallels in Suzuki-sensei’s previous works and this one, evident in how she builds her cast and how they interact. That said, Hina, Kyuta, Hoshino, and the others all have their own unique personalities unlike any characters Suzuki-sensei has written before. I LOVE Hina and I love Kyuta too— and the way all the characters interact is really fun and dynamic. I find myself immersed in the world and story and able to relate to the circumstances or feelings easily. I really love this manga!

That was surprisingly good. The name threw me off at the beginning, but upon reading it, I found it to be so adorably funny and cute. The art was so beautiful too. I can’t wait to see what happens next cause ooh do I sense a jealous LI? 🤣
There’s definitely more to Hina than meets the eye…
Thank you NetGalley and Viz Media for the arc. Enjoyed the story and can’t wait for more in this series.
