A Vampire Who Gets Too Much Blood!	Customer Rating:
I guess I am still getting into this one before I commit. I'll see what my students say too. I think they will like this kind and enjoy it. It seems like a very funny sweet story with a weird girl who keeps bleeding all over herself. (Yuck!)

Bite 'Em Girl

Customer Rating:

Karin is your typical high school girl, or so you think. She is really part vampire! All of her family members are vampires too. Karin is a rather strange vampire. Instead of sucking blood, when she bites a human she is putting blood into them. Once every month, her body produces too much blood. She must get rid of it (aka biting someone) or she will have an awful noseblood. Nobody (other than her family) knows her secret. One day, a new student boy comes. Karin feels ill when she looks at him. She decides that the only way to stop this is to stay away from him at all times. Too bad, he works at the same place...

Love it!!!	Customer Rating:
I love Chibi Vampire! If you like the Manga and Anime, then you will find this very entertaining!

Great series

Customer Rating:

A vampire that makes blood instead of drinks it? Ha. Ha. Very funny. Yet, despite this blatant premise, the manga does a remarkable job with its range of stories, starting with the main characters: a young girl feeling out of place with her high school and story, and the son of a single poor woman. Later stories develop secondary characters and introduce guest stars, from the only human the distant elder brother loved, to a European trip with the father and mother, to a high school prostitute, to even the ventriloquist's dummy the younger sister having its own story. It's a very character-driven series, and I also enjoyed the four-panel quasi-autobiographical omake gags of the author. Highly recommended.

Customer Rating:

A good story must be compelling. A compelling story must have conflict, but only if it's the right kind! This is the Holy Grail of a great story, but it MUST be right kind. You can't just throw conflict onto a page; it has to be a blend, precisely engineered, or at least heavily debated and thought out. Chibi Vampire excels at providing conflict, the embarassing high-school-crush kind: awkward situations, red faces, totally backward assumptions - mostly situational. Conflict oozes from Chibi Vampire like one of Karin's explosive nosebleeds. Constantly - consistently - the situations these people end up tangled in make me shake my head in consternation. Multiple times throught my reading, I've had to put the book down and gather my thoughts. I usually just laugh silently to myself until the embarassment passes. When someone can grab you and influence your feelings that intimately... THAT is what I call effective writing. I do realize I don't speak for the rest of the world, but I've read enough manga to be able to eyeball what's good and what's not so much. Karin makes my list of "unforgettables." My only concern is, "Why are Karin's boobs so massive?"
