I'm only giving this a rating of 2 because the art is kinda cute. That's the only reason keeping me from giving it a 1. Yes, it is THAT shitty. So, since it's an anthology, let's break this review down in 3 parts.

First story: Kidnapping
So basically, this human guy kidnaps a vampire princess and she falls in love with him after being on his house for a few nights. Uhhhhmmm??????????????????????????????????????????????

They barely have a talk that's not aggressive. The guy HAAAAATTTTTTEEEESSSS vampires, and while he doesn't rape her, he's not exactly kind either. And yet, he's handsome, so... guess it's a good enough reason for the princess to fall in love with him??????????

Second story: Arranged Marriage
This story follows the first couple's son. He's the prince and for some reason (that is never quite explained), he gets married to a human princess. But the princess' family is wary of him because... you know... he's half vampire.

So her father makes her drink a potion that makes her blood be poisonous to vampires. Ok. Despite them legitimatelly being married, they never even kiss so the princess immediately thinks "oh, what a gentleman! And he's handsome too! I should totally fall in love with him even though we never spoke".

It is later revealed that the prince has met her once before but it was when she was a kid and honestly, does THAT count as having a conversation? Meh.

Third Story: 🎶 Dude looks like a lady 🎶

Okay, so that's a spoiler. But honestly, that pissed me the fuck off into oblivion.

The princess in this third story is the granddaughter of the second story couple. She wants to marry out of love and not out of duty (noice!). So she disguises herself as an average woman and goes out to the street to just... find love, I guess.

And then she bumps into a woman. A very beautiful woman. And she gets flustered and they become friends and I sweat to god, if you ever read this, you'll certainly SHIP both of them!!!

I thought this would be my favourite story out of the 3 and that it would be very interesting (I mean, they'd feature a lesbian couple in victorian era! And they're both kind of vampires! That's so cool!!!)... except...

It was a dude. It was a man wearing lady's clothes and using a wig and padding and a lady name because he was escaping from his marriage proposal or some shit like that.

*long sigh*

By this point I'm just way too disappointed at this lost opportunity that I just rushed through the end and I'm not sure how they ended up together, but you KNOW they did. Anyway...

This could've been a really cool short anthology, but all of the stories were rushed, uninteresting, the characters were all flat and... it's just a huge waste of time. There's other cute manga out there with actual good stories.
