When a girl at Hinata Sorazono's school is attacked by what seems to be a blood-sucking vampire, everyone is on edge and wonders who's next. Hinata refuses to believe that vampires even exist, but then she meets her new neighbor, Junya Tokinaga, the author of an incredibly popular vampire romance novel. Dressed in a kimono with an old-world air about him, Junya has a taste of Hinata's blood and tells her it's sweet... Hinata can't help but be drawn to Junya, but could it be that he's actually a vampire—and worse yet, the culprit behind the attacks?!


So the plot is "what if instead of Stephanie Meyer, the author of Twilight actually WAS Edward Cullen!" (or "what if Stephanie Meyer was a guy.... and a vampire).

...huh.

Kiss of the Rose Princess looks like it has potential, sort of a Pretear like setup to it's reverse harem. I have to admit it at least as me a little intrigued.

*Yawn* More vampire romance porn shit. They keep ignoring my suggestions to bring over Neighborhood Story and rescue Kodocha.

Barajou has a miserable first volume that will probably turn a lot of people off. It does an about-face with volume 2, so hopefully people will stick with it. Either way, I'm so happy to see it finally getting the paperback release it deserves!

I was reading Kiss of the Rose Princess a few years ago, but I dropped it and I honestly can't remember why.

Anis Yamamoto has been told that if she ever removes the rose choker given to her by her father, a terrible punishment will befall her. Unfortunately she loses that choker

... and her head falls off. The end.

Best story ever.

*psst* It's "The Green Ribbon."

I love Barajou no Kiss! I own all the Japanese volumes. A little underdeveloped at times, but it's nice.
