Platinum Blood

by Mar Ichigaya

The vampire Alucard — nicknamed Al — was brought up in a church, at the side of the kindly priest Kaname. Now all grown up and drop-dead handsome, Al has certain needs...

The dutiful Kaname generously allows the vampire to drink of his body — and it isn't just his blood that Al's sucking! Still, physical needs aren't the same as emotional desires, and Al finds himself stuck trying to get the oblivious, straight-laced Kaname to realize that he means more than an easy meal to him.

This book contains explicit content and mature themes, including explicit sex, religious kink, age gap, dubious consent, and adoptive incest. It is not intended for anyone under 18 years of age.

One day someone I know personally will stumble upon my Goodreads account and I will have to answer for my sins.
That day is not today - so yeah, this slaps.

Idk man, something about a priest and a vampire just hits and I refuse to explain myself further.

Have you been yearning for an explicit BL manga about a Catholic priest and the vampire he raised set in a parallel universe where the church is okay with it? Then do I have the book for you!

Hein ?

Would be great without the being raised by him thing...

( ͡❛ ﹏ ͡❛) Perdóname señor porque he pecado pero necesitaba quitarme la curiosidad de encima porque la portada era hermosa y los personajes divinos... a ver, si dejamos de lado la parte pecaminosa de la situación pues encontramos una trama interesante, el sin respeto explícito ( ❛ ͜ʖ ❛ ) y un arte precioso porque el autor dibuja increíble.

The minute I saw the cover, I knew this would be for me.

Forgive me Father, for I have SINNED! This was HAWT!

The only thing was, I really wanted Al to accidentally call Kaname DADDY, instead of Father. Was that too much to ask?😂

i'm going to hell for reading (liking) this, or maybe i already secured my spot down there because i've read far worse dubious contents than this on ao3

*Not intended for anyone under 18 years of age- check. Explicit content and mature themes - double effing check. Such as uncensored full frontal nudity and anal sex vividly depicted; religious kink, dubious consent and at times rapey; and adoptive incest with logical age gap.* yeah.

So that happened, and you're welcome for this warning I didn't have due to my own hubris. This is what I get for foolishly going in blind and not reading reviews or hell even the synopsis. This was not cute gay vampire romance, it was raunchy smutty smut with pictures. And a half-assed attempt of a plot. I can never unsee this and that's a star up from the 1* I was originally going to give this. The art was lovely minus the porn scenes which I'm not going down that tangent. So read at your own risk! Or kink.

Some people might not get this manga but I get it 😩↕️

This was so utterly sinful, forbidden and absolutely beautiful!! Also the art is a masterpiece!

nothing like reading a little vampire x priest yaoi to celebrate not getting raptured

[Dylan · Rating 2 out of 5]

Something about this book just didn't work for me. The vampire being a kid in the beginning weirded me out a little too much. They're adults before they do anything, though. It was spicy, for sure, but I could not tell you the plot. It felt very thin, and I didn't really understand the chemistry between the two main characters. It just wasn't for me.

[Heather · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hidden in the very explicit scenes (seriously, NSFW content) is a very sweet love story.

[Nicole · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.5/5. Simple, sweet, and gorgeous art! I love vampires, and this really hit the spot. I really liked how the religious aspect wasn't an obstacle and just part of the setting. The nuns knowing about Al's crush and teasing and encouraging him to confess to Kaname was funny and cute. The story flowed better than I expected and made for a quick and easy read. If you like vampires and fluff and are looking for something with a bit of spice, this is a really good pick!

[Rebecca · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5 stars rounded up

This was very smutty yaoi manga about a priest and a vampire. Underneath the many explicit sex scenes, there was a surprisingly tender and poignant story. The ending was bittersweet but hopeful. Props to the author for not making the church the villain either. It may not be true to life, but the church in this is fully open and accepting, so it was refreshing.

[Brigi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Super pretty art style

[Sera Nova · Rating 1 out of 5]

Ugh just why do we have to have one character start as a child??? And have a father son relationship??????? The story was already not good, but that was just weird. Honestly, there is a good idea here, but the execution of it was awful.

I can't stop thinking about it...

Bufff complicat valorar aquesta lectura ^^' BL ben explícit, hot i smutty entre un mossèn jove i un vampir que és acollit de petit per l'orfenat d'una congregació religiosa que només és catòlica en aparença (perquè accepten sense problemes relacions homosexuals, sexe entre homes -un dels quals és mossèn- i no discriminen els vampirs, que no serien la figura més cristiana del món). Així doncs, l'element més fantàstic és l'entorn i no el fet que humans i vampirs convisquin en harmonia. El final és un pèl precipitat i es podria haver desenvolupat millor el conflicte de la immortalitat i l'essència d'un mateix, queda penjant d'un fil... una llàstima que només sigui un volum únic 💔

Paranormal manga with a pseudo-incestuous relationship between a priest and the vampire he raised. This is one of those stories that’s *all* about the romance and puts the least amount of effort into the overall plot. A boring read

[Elyse · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed Al and Kaname’s story. The illustrations were insanely good.

[Nea Poulain · Rating 3 out of 5]

Esta bastante cute y blasfemo al mismo tiempo aaaa I love it.

I have no idea what I just read, vampire orphan adopted by young priest who feeds on him *but not blood*

It was weird but surprisingly ok?

це було непоганень��о, але не вау для мене

ще, я очікувала іншої розв'язки 🤧

[cat · Rating 2 out of 5]

ngl the ~father/son~ relationship rubbed me the wrong way the entire time i was reading this…. so… i cant say i enjoyed it that much despite loving the aesthetic of vampires and priests…

however: bonus points for the plot device being that the only way to stop him from turning into a vampire is to shove a Suppository the size of an avocado in his ass LMAOOOOO

[Imanewreader ✨ · Rating 3 out of 5]

art was beautiful, story was lacking a bit. but that is a given since it's a one shot about a priest and vampire turning the priest vampire but no wanting him to change, etc etc.. lots to uncover, but not even pages to do so.

story was still very nice though ! conclusion was underwehlming (and kinda sad, although it's a hea for now)

[MariewithWings · Rating 3 out of 5]

3,5 Stars!

3.75
This was enjoyable. But I was not expecting it to be so graphic. Like that caught me off guard. I did enjoy the story and the romance. I feel like there’s like grooming in this a little bit which I did not like. Also idk if this is a manga thing, but sometimes the art style would change and make them like more cartoonish which I wasn’t a fan of.
