molte belle idee, ma confuse.

"i would be the one to give you pain.
i would be the one to take your pain away.
i would reach deep within you, licking away the pain that was embedded in your very bones.
i would..."

Iba a hacer temporada de Vampiros en Octubre, because Spooky Season, pero aparentemente empecé temprano 😂🫶🏻

If I could speak English at a slightly higher level when I was four years old, I guarantee you I would cook up this.

100% sure this author is a member of r/virgins.

3.5 stars / ⭐⭐⭐

Uno siempre vuelve donde fue feliz. Y este manhwa no decepciona 🙏 Shell siendo un vampiro de clase superior le encanta ser humillado, y por ello consigue a un humano que es banquero para cumplir todas sus fantasías.

En conclusión, Blood Bank es superior, una obra de arte 🚬

Aparte del bdsm, tocaría avisar que hay una escena de noncon.

3.5.

Al principio no me gusto pero le tome algo de cariño con cada capitulo es una lectura corta a la que no estoy muy acostumbrado pero quede bastante satisfecho con el final y con lo que quiere expresar.

Las cosas que no me gustaron fueron como la quimica de los personajes principales porque no se siente al principio y más adelante se siente sacada de la nada por parte del protagonista cuando empieza más el romance, la mayoria son personajes planos y si no los mostraran cada ciertos capitulos te olvidarias de ellos como también es muy notable cuando solo los muestran por necesidades del guion, me parece bizarro como se conocen o empieza la historia de amor, me llego a caer demasiado mal el protagonista.

Las cosas que si me gustaron fueron; que el protagonista fuera un top se que es raro decir esto pero en la mayoria de BL´s siempre el protagonista principal es un bottom y se sintio resfrescante que no fuera así, Shell es muy lindo y no merece que le hagan daño, como ya dije me gusto el final sientio que cierra todo lo necesario o lo más importante aunque me hubiera gustado saber más del funcionamiento de ese mundo.

Perdón por las faltas de hortografia y dramatica <3

Blood Bank (all)

I'm disappointed in the choices made here, despite a good story. The characters are likable, the art is great, and I remember the plot twist (and plot overall) generally ending up more fascinating the further into the story I got and the more layers we uncovered. So it is too bad the relationship includes rape (it starts out as an unhealthy relationship, even if later it turns into something else).

I recognize potentially what the author may have been trying to do with this as a part of the plot, but I do not think the extreme (esp. rape as opposed to some other way of expression) was the way to go, and so it disappoints me greatly that this is the reality of the story (that very much could have been avoided in trade for a healthier relationship that still worked with the character development!). All that said, the BDSM dynamic could really use some laid-out consent earlier on, which should be a must, always, anyways.

One e Shell hanno rubato il mio cuore sin dalla prima pagina. I disegni sono superlativi, la storia intrigante e innovativa. Solitamente, si potrebbe pensare che in un Boy's Love con protagonista un vampiro, sia questi a prevalere all'interno della relazione. E invece no, qui è tutto l'opposto! Shell è quello che viene definito un "deviato" perché vuole essere dominato da un essere umano, qualcuno più debole. E sceglie One perché questi non subisce l'influenza dei suoi feromoni (spero che il perché venga spiegato nei prossimi volumi). Ci sono davvero tutti i presupposti per una storia piccante e piena di eros. Sono proprio curiosa di vedere come proseguirà il tutto e come si evolverà la relazione tra i due

It's been a couple years since I read this series, but it was so good! I loved the dynamics between the characters, the world building, and the trust that grew between the two protagonists. The twists and turns that cropped up as the plot thickened were surprising and captivating. Overall this was a brilliant series.

[Luv Skye · Rating 4 out of 5]

It has so many questionable scenes as Eric is a menace to society.
Thank God for his redemption arc where he acts like a normal human being.
It's understandable for a BL manga that features bdsm, it could be a lot worse.
The whole Cinderella thing is something I would love to forget, so unnecessary.
I still really enjoy this Manhwa and it does make me cry.

Che meraviglia rileggerlo in italiano *_*

[Nea Poulain · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bueno, GR me va a obligar a marcar todo lo que leo por volúmenes por andar de assholes con los webcómics. Así que i guess leí la edición italiana. YEP. ESA.

Shell se ganó mi corazón con tan solo una mirada de sus verdes ojos.

[Reyna Maria · Rating 5 out of 5]

Todo entre los protagonistas es tan intenso, que temo que los consuma

[Venda J. Croft · Rating 3 out of 5]

Disegni molto belli, un punto bonus perché sono a colori. Per quanto riguarda la storia non mi sono ancora fatta un’idea precisa, sembra meno seria di quello che avevo immaginato. Staremo a vedere.

Los vampiros dominan a los humanos pero hay un vampiro que anhela ser dominado por un humano.

I had read this series in 2 days and 2 nights

I can rate this 4* but I won’t because I throughly enjoyed this and it will always hold a special place as an artifact I enjoyed during Covid 2020 times

Todos los tomos pero me da pereza poner cada uno

[KS · Rating 4 out of 5]

Idk why I was recommended this but the second half that got super plot-heavy + emphasized social commentary kinda ate actually. 💀

[Felix · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was a re-read. And honestly? Pretty impressive plot for a BDSM vampire BL

[Lyra Winters · Rating 4 out of 5]

I remember finding this extremely hot at 15. That's all I have to say x

4.5⭐

[bangalimeyreads · Rating 4 out of 5]

It a beautiful plot based on two main characters- One aka Eric and Shell.
Shell is a vampire and an Overload, the only son of Lord Pain. He is the legal heir of Pain, thus inheriting the ownership of Blood Bank. Eric is a mere human being who is working as a banker in the blood bank.
Vampires and humans co-exist in this fictional world with a treaty inbetween which is sometimes disturbed by the smell of vampires controlling the bankers working in blood bank but Eric isn't affected by the same. Eric hids in a secret but there's tons of secrets waiting for him even.
Shell is attracted to Eric from their very first meeting but he tries to approach Eric, he comes to know about the grudge Eric holds against the vampires.
Will Eric fall in love with Shell?
Are they going to do something great to make the balance right between humans and vampires?

Well yes! The story ends with a happy note and I loved it❤️
