Makioka Shizue needs food
Endo Yasuko is reasonably shrewd
“Be my back up meal plan
(Although I’ll do what I can)
And I’ll make sure you don’t have to brood”
When she’s given this offer that can’t be beat
Shizue’s mostly swept off her feet
Endo may be a ghoul
Killing girls from their school
But at least Shizue gets lots to eat
The English edition of Hungry For You: Endo Yasuko Stalks the Night, Volume 1 is as much fun as it was in Japanese. As always, Seven Seas has done a fine job of giving readers an authentic manga reading experience. Even when the manga is a really silly vampire at a girl’s school junk food of a story.
Or, as my wife puts it:
Vampires, breasts and Yuri
Now in English without any worry
Is crap for crap’s sake
with nothing at stake
to lose when it comes to the jury.
This was the story that spawned the promise that all probably-a-vampire Yuri stories would be reviewed by limerick from now on. ^_^
Ratings:
Art – 7
Story – An utterly absurd 8
Characters – 9
Service – 5 Vampire-at-a-girls’ school
Yuri – 2, maybe, but you can make it work if you want.
Overall – Entertaining, trashy fun 8
Thanks to the folk at Seven Seas for the review copy!
Volume 2 in English is slated for a release at the end of the year, so I’ll be keeping an eyes out for the Japanese volume. ^_^
I want to join the fun too!
But limericks aren’t what I can do.
In all seriousness, I think I’m obligated to buy a copy now, the reviews have entertained me that much.
It is a genuinely fun, trashy manga. Everyone should get a copy. ^_^
You’re only 3 lines away from making it work.
But with your wife’s perfect metre,
I know I can’t beat her,
So it’s best that I leave it to you…two.
Huzzah! Well done.
Here lately, I’ve become very, very fond of meaningless entertainment. There’s enough on the line in the real world, I don’t need consequences in my escapist fiction!
Then you’ll love this. ^_^ It’s completely meaningless.
Hmmm. The low yuri score is disappointing. Unless later chapters are more promising in that regard. I’m not much into trashy stuff anyway.
Not everything is for everyone. ^_^ I don’t much like vampires, myself.
“Vampires again?” I hear ya
Oversaturation couldn’t be clearer
But if yuri smut’s your aim
and vampires are your game
I highly recommend you read Mira.
(Kiss Me! Vampire Girls, specifically. I’ll def check out Endo Yasuko too!)
\o/
The wife gives it a thumbs up!
