"Is that your final dandy?"

im p sure youko has been described as specifically half-vampire somewhere in the story

Yeah, pretty early on in-fact. They noted that she's less affected by a vampire's traditional weaknesses.

Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?
I'm pretty sure that even though she started as a half-vampire, that she's been moving progressively further towards being a full vampire--her vulnerability to her weaknesses has increased, and she stopped showing up in pictures.

Yeah, remember the same thing happened with Genjirou where he started off fine and it got worse over his senior year until the freak out.

So to recap :

Shirayuki, a human, made friends with or fell in love with a non-human. She tried to bridge humans and non-humans and live with both sides. Unfortunately due to a famine, the human village she was in was literally starving to death - so they sold the nonhuman boy she liked/loved into a sideshow/circus thing to survive.

She sold her soul to a demon to become ageless and immortal, and has been sabotaging all efforts at living together to prevent any more tragedies like the one she endured.

It makes a lot of sense why she's doing what she is and makes her out to be much, much more interesting as a villain as she genuinely believes that what she's doing will prevent the people she's hurting from being hurt even worse.


Such a very, very good manga.

Agreed- it's amazing how this manga is able to combine slice-of-life, romcom and even outright dramatic elements to well :allears:

Can't wait for her to face off with her dad :black101:

Youko is half vampire, and we've seen that she can't turn fully into a bat. Tarage pointed that out last time, directing folks to his avatar.

You left out the most important part that made me want to cry.

Akane is fighting against Shirayuiki - and really has done everything she's done with this school - in order to fulfill a promise she made to that same Shirayuki as a child.

I forgot to mention: the looks on the faces of those humans in Shirayuki's memory are some of the creepiest things I've ever seen in this, ostensibly a comedy manga.
