Review: No summary yet, so I’ll just give a rough one of the first chapter. I’m not sure who the main characters will be yet. But in the middle of no where, there is a town that looks a bit like a old Chinese historical isolated village. Travelers passing by hear of strange tales of people dying from getting all their blood sucked out. In the village, a number of guests from various places are staying temporarily at an inn for the night. The food cannot be cooked, there’s no firewood, and the water tastes very strange.
The first chapter is pretty long, but the art is interesting. I’m not certain where the name of the title comes. The plot itself is intriguing, and at a glance it looks like a vampire horror story? I wonder if the entire plot will remain about this village that has a lot of suspicious characters. This is something I’ll keep an eye on in the future. I haven’t tried a manhua story of this genre, so I’m curious how it will turn out.
