Volume 1 of Akiyama’s Killing Me!
was not exactly thrilling me
Carmilla’s invoked
As a kind of  joke
And that’s about as good as you can expect from this series.

Saki is a vampire who was apparently turned at about age 13 and she is love with fam-trad Vampire Hunter Miyoko who, frankly, sucks at her job. Saki’s in love with Miyoko, who is obviously in love back, but that is not the point of this manga. The point is that Miyoko sucks at killing Saki, who professes her love, which Miyoko passive-aggressively ignores. Haha!

This kind of story is not really violent, although guns appear, and not really a love story, although little hearts decorate Saki’s words.

Akiyama describes the story in the author’s note as “kind of like a Hamburg-steak rice-omellete covered in curry” with which I agree with 100%. It is a pile of glop that you may or may not find to be delicious.

Ratings:

Art – moe
Story – One line
Characters – One joke per
Service  – Blood sucking children…so, yes
Yuri – That too

Overall – Go For It

Akiyama also describes this series as “kill-or-be-killed comedy.” We clearly have different ideas about the word “kill.”

And “comedy.”
