Blood Alone PICTURE SPAMMM

Hmm... just surfing and found the manga "Blood Alone"'s illustrator's blog/website.

Jap Vol.4 out on June 27th.. :D :D :D


Brief summary of the story :

Blood alone is definitely a captivating series, focusing on the relationship between a young vampire and a human living together...

Enter Misaki, the young vampire. Once a human whose family was good friends with Kuroe's, she was turned into a vampire after once very fateful night.. leaving her fate interwined with Kuroe's...Fine looking, and seemingly happy go lucky, however, yet deep within her, she's torn with guilt and fear, as she knows that she's the only burden that's holding Kuroe back from taking revenge...

Kuroe, a man deep running past with vampires. The current guardian of Misaki... much of his past is still unknown.. except for the fact that his older sister was abducted years ago by a vampire. The very same vampire who left Misaki to hold Kuroe back from hunting him down... And on that very night, as the vampire injured his eyes, he also attained the " Eyes of truth" that can see through all illusions. Swearing to hunt down the vampire who took away his sister, he attained skills to hunt down vampires, .. but hasn't been able to do so due to him being unable to abandon Misaki...

With such a background story... you can only wonder what their futures will turn out to be like... what sacrifices will they have to make in the end to attain their goals? Or will they just live on in their current states? The internal struggles of their hearts, the diminishing hopes of a bright future....

Bleah... crappy summary by me. But this is a series that i really like. Just oozes with the word " Tragedy" and "Bittersweet" all over it.

One scene i loved was when Kuroe and Misaki were in the swimming pool at around midnight ( swimming obviously )... in the gaze of a cresent moon... Kuroe carried Misaki up in the middle of the pool and then said " Someday... lets go to the beach! ". That scene was just so touching... knowing that it would never be possible for her to go to the sea during the day.. ( who'ld want to go to the sea to swim at night?? ).

OKOK i'm getting too crazy over this. so nuff said. now its time for the picture spam !!
