Aside from the slow pacing and the let's call it simple art, I think the main problem this manga has is that there's really barely any complications or conflict at all. This is mainly because unlike most love stories, people actually talk things over as soon as there's a problem. Unless the problem just solves itself due to there not really being any downsides to vampirism here.
How is our heroine gonna get the girl?
Oh, it just kinda happens by itself a few chapters in.
Oh no, someone saw them make out/ suck blood!
Don't worry, they'll discuss it immediately after, clearing out any misunderstandings and she's fine with it now.
Oh no, what if she sucks too much blood, endangering Nana?
Don't worry, vampires only drink a little bit, so it can't really happen.
Oh no, she cheated on her girlfriend!
Don't worry, turns out Nana wants sort of an open relationship, at least when it comes to the blood drinking.
Oh no, what if she creates another vampire?
Don't worry, that's so rare that it won't be an issue that creates tension or anything.
And so on.
Don't get me wrong, it's great that people talk, but it really shows why both the drama and the romantic comedy genres depend on characters never really resolving their issues right away.
It doesn't help that the one and only complication here is that there's a risk that the heroine might end up living happily ever after forever with her waifu, who has no real character flaws and is so endlessly understanding that we know she wouldn't mind. Ooooh, the horror. The thrilling suspense.
I mean, I like it as a cute comedy love story, but it's really not good at being a supernatural drama as well, despite trying so hard.
