If you were to ask me what i just read, i'm no sure how i'd put it

i needed something different from what i normally read, so i found this obscure random thing, and started reading, thinking, 'this seems dubious, dark and possibly smutty', and i was fine with the prospect of some emotional smutty vampire s&m garbage with some supernatural bs, you know?

it's not what i got.

it was so classical a story about vampires, some biblical undertones, vampire hunters, the church, amoral science, creepy kids, but it was executed with a mixture of maturity and childishness. the main characters were mature people, as though they really had lived for a couple hundred years and then settled down like you'd expect them to. there were some mature darker topics and scenes, all handled without angst. and the main characters could be immature and human and the tone of the manga was spotted through with fun, and wholesomeness thorough

it was a fun ride. as i couldn't really follow the plot, i can say i loved the extensive blushing, and how the gay was explicitly understated, because they were so adorable and obviously fond of each other that you dont need them to even kiss for the relationship to be fulfilling to read. it definitely hit the gay spot in my heart with 100% wholesome served with a sidedish of some bloodsucking s&m vampire garbage, great fun
