More lore, yay. 

And a male vampire made an appearance. 

 

But still many unanswered questions… 

 

I think this volume focused too much on the tournament. While it gave the characters a "happy end" (or, well, happy beginning), looking back, the volume felt a bit empty. 

Chapter 9 tackled one of the most important questions of this story and was really interesting (from what I understood with google translator)! But then was kind of just forgotten. Or the author planned to make a 3rd volume? The ending wasn’t really an ending after all, it feels like there could still be a lot done… 

 

On the other hand, the artist showed what they were best at drawing: fighting scenes. Incredibly realistic, but still within the manga style. Really amazing! 

 

Also loved Rina’s and Misao’s lovey-dovey scenes. They’re so cute. 

Kumiko & Aoi (the couple on the cover) too had their sweet scenes. Was also nice getting to see a bit of their past.
