Sorry to be a bit late to the party here. The music Aria plays in Ch. 5 is in fact the oldest piece of music known to survive with complete words and music, the Epitaph of Seikilos, nearly 2000 years old. The text, copied below, is particularly relevant. It's a pretty pithy encapsulation of a vampire's outlook on relationships with humans:

Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου
μηδὲν ὅλως σὺ λυποῦ
πρὸς ὀλίγον ἔστι[2] τὸ ζῆν
τὸ τέλος ὁ χρόνος ἀπαιτεῖ

Wikipedia's loose English translation:
While you live, shine
have no grief at all
life exists only for a short while
and Time demands his due

A possible audio representation of Seikilos Epitaph?

Bittersweet. Now methinks this story will go down with the audience in buckets of tears. For some reason, it'll be just like Doraemon. Aria's wise to have herself killed by someone who can. Watching everyone you knew and loved die before your eyes as you yourself glide easily through millenia can be extremely painful.

Guessing Higashiyama had a blast digging up suitably ancient references, not unlike Cool Kyoushinsha with Maid Dragon...

Aww. Fitting that she plays the oldest music known to man. She prolly remembers when it was the latest hit in the Greek charts.

"Do you have the follow-up to this?"
"No I don't. I haven't been able to find it."

Oh Shou you utter troll.

Man, plenty of updates for me to read, how nice, I been waiting for so long, always lovely to read this.

Btw, this has been kinda making me curious a bit but, wouldn't this series need an "age gap" tag since Aria is at the very least over a 100 years old? Only difference is that she keeps* her youth cuz she's a vampire, it kinda makes no sense for me to not add that tag.

KONO DIO DA!!!

I'm really loving these two so far. I was a little unsure where the story was going at the start, but now I really don't care. I just want to see more of them interacting.

That was a cute and hilarious and nicely forward-developing chapter all at once.

Although I think giving Aria's supposed age the entire "never kissed anyone" thing makes no sense. She's clearly 13+ or so. In the past that'd have been "old enough" hundreds of times over. ^^ Smells a bit of purity-fetishizing where in romance you gotta have "all the firsts" for it to be really truly the most romantic type. Which stinks. But allows for their relationship to be more wacky comedic. So there's that ...

I didn't expect much of this story, but it is sooo good. Enjoying it a lot!

Really Though Is Tumblr User Dirtreally Okay

This became so epic so fast!!!

fantastic chapter! love them both

Best wing man in any manga series.

KOKO ARIA DA

For once, it's not the vampire the aggressive one.

The characters personality is so typical of Shou though.

We have tons of FBS in our lab. It smells like beef stew but...Off. Ugh. Good luck Aria...

Maybe she should look into some duck or pig blood tofu. Those are actually food. Make some hot pot.
