Chibi Vampire, Vol. 12

Chibi Vampire #12

by Yuna Kagesaki

A cute little girl who happens to be a vampire, Karin has blood to spare, so rather than stealing blood from humans, she gives her blood to them, an experience that, if done right, benefits the "victim" as much as the vampire, but Karin never seems to do things right.

Not for me.
The MC is super annoying.

Karin struggles with her younger sister Anju growing apart from her now that she has become a full vampire and cannot eat with her and go out in the daylight. Karin is now struggling with feeling more alone now without being able to see her sister on top of her mother being away on a trip. She is also worried about the new revelations on why vampires and humans cannot be together that were revealed. If her and Kenta were to ever have children in the future, they could not reproduce. She fears her future may be short lived with Kenta and will they ever be able to take their relationship to the next level?

Meanwhile, Calera returns to the Marker family from visiting her birthplace with a shocking family secret of why Karin is such a unique vampire who can give an excess of blood instead of require more of it to satisfy hunger and trouble brews when it’s revealed that Tachibana, the half human and vampire who works with Karin and Kenta, finds out her uncle has sent her there to find a special vampire who can be put in the sunlight, Karin Makka. What does he want from her?

As the series winds down. This volume brings lots of humor and love between our favorite vampire/human couple big also brings together a lot of plot points . I’m excited to read the last two volumes to see how everything ends for our beloved vampire protagonist.

Chissà come mai mi era sfuggita questa serie?

Ma che carini quando si baciano a fine volume... Il mio cinico cuoricino ha fatto un saltino di contentezza... Mi è piaciuto moltissimo il modo in cui si è sviluppato il rapporto tra Karin e Kenta...

Anche la storia, che ormai sto procedendo verso la fine, si è fatto d'un tratto più serie e finalmente il lettore capisce cosa c'è dietro l'anomalia di Karin.

Sigh, ormai mi restano solo due volumi...

°˖✧◝(⁰▿ ⁰)◜ ✧˖° that last chapter was amazing!

I know that a storm is a brewing, but I can’t stop reading! Seriously, I don’t want to experience the heartache that will happen in the last two volumes.

[Caity McPhe · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is getting intense.

[Samantha Riccio · Rating 4 out of 5]

At this point the plots picked up, we get some more insight as to what's going on with Karin and what's in store for her.

I like that we get to see the other characters more.

[David Doel · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the second so-so volume in a row. It seems to be promising an interesting conclusion in the final two volumes. I hope so!

[Bill Fish · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very dramatic, and exciting. I am really enjoying this series. They kiss for the first time!!! Everything in the 1-11 volumes is leading up to this, so soak it in! Where do those fangs go?

[Phoebe · Rating 5 out of 5]

Heehee this makes me feel so nostalgic! I like the new development with Karin being a Psyche (life-giving vampire) and the kiss, of course!

[Priscilla Pereira · Rating 5 out of 5]

Esse volume dá uma bela guinada no ritmo e no drama dessa série.
O romance, o desenvolvimento dos relacionamentos, a tensão, as revelações feitas nesse volume trazem o tempero a mais que estava faltando no resto da série!
É o começo do grande clímax do mangá e eu mal posso esperar para ler mais!

[Tiffany · Rating 4 out of 5]

My boyfriend lent me this, and even though it’s he 12th volume (I’d never read this before) there was a good summary so I wasn’t confused at all. I thought it was fun and cute, and I look forward to reading all of it.

I love the Chibi Vampire Series and so far the series has been going really well.

Volume 12 of the Chibi Vampire series has to be the best so far. This one gave some answers about why Karin is different from the rest of her family. Which made it a really really interesting book.

I loved the illustrations. I especially love the eyes and expressions on the faces of the people.

I found the 12th volume of Chibi Vampire to be really good. There were some new characters that were interesting and the ending of the book left me wanting the next book in the series. Lucky for me I happened to have that on hand too.

Also, I just have to mention the cover. It is so cute and so cool. I love Karin and Kenta as a couple.

Overall, Volume 12 of the Chibi Vampire series is totally awesome. If you haven't read any of the Chibi Vampire series you definitely should because they are really really awesome.

[Mike · Rating 5 out of 5]

Quick thoughts: Another important volume as we head into endgame. Karin and Kenta's relationship continues to evolve in light of recent events involving Anju, and secrets regarding Karin's condition and Yuriya's true purpose come to light. This manga is building wonderfully towards some sort of conclusion.

[Stacey · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wow! Stuff happens again. I have to admit I assumed Chibi Vampire was like Ranma where things are the way they are "just because" and they were unlikely to change. Instead, Kagesaki is hinting that there's something special about Karin's condition.

[Setsanata · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read this volume in one sitting, and pretty quickly, too. It's just so suspenseful!!

The story just keeps continuing, but with only two volumes left!! I really want them to come out already, because I want to find out what happens between Karin and Usui-kun!!

[William · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this book for some reason. Perhaps it is because it's been a while since I read volume 11, or maybe it is because the romance aspect of the storyline is starting to develop, and the mystery behind the vampire society is deepening. Must read book 13!

[Timothy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Relationships and revelations abound in this volume as Karin and Kenta's reach a whole new level in their relationship. Also, the reason to Karin's unique abilities is finally revealed, as it creates a whole set of problems as well.

[Katt Hansen · Rating 5 out of 5]

The complexity of this story continues to amaze me. I want to hug Karin really tight, and am thankful she has Kenta to hug her on the cover. Too sad sometimes, too sweet...too...ARGH...MUST KEEP READING!

[Trip · Rating 3 out of 5]

That took them long enough! Also, additional plot.

[Rachel (Sfogs) · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Rebecca · Rating 5 out of 5]

Volume 11 and 12 have been my favorite volumes so far. So much happens and the storyline thickens. I loved the focus on Anju as well as other relationships such as Ren/Anju and others.

[Mara · Rating 5 out of 5]

Read/rated in grade school.

[Softreflection · Rating 5 out of 5]
