Summary: Kohei Hasekura is a sophomore who transfers into a prestigious public school in the style of an English six-year school encompassing junior-high and high school students. The school, named Shuchikan Academy is on an island named Tamatsu Island off-shore from mainland Japan, and the only way to get there is by boat.
But under the peaceful surface, this prestigious academy holds a dark secret. Some of its students are Vampires! and Kouhei will get dragged deeper, and deeper into the mystery of the school and the girls that attend.
Review: It took me a long time to read up to Ch 22. I really really disliked this manga. The artwork is pretty at a glance, but I couldn’t tell apart the light haired girls in the manga. All the girls looked the same, so it got to be confusing. I was expecting vampires from the summary, but vampires aren’t mentioned until about Ch 7. Even then, the plot doesn’t really revolve around vampires. It’s mostly about day to day life of high school students. The worst part is that the day to day plots are horrendously boring.
I didn’t bother to try the anime since I disliked the manga too much to be interested in wasting disk space on the torrents.
