Imagine being offended by another gift from Temp gracing the forums. Awful. Sacrilegious, even

Temp putting more words into one post than manga authors in an entire volume again...

Yes. Give me the Minori Chigusa Special. Give me the Teren Mikami Special. Give me trash.

That's a lot of words to say hate you the author.

I feel like they were half-joking, given the type of language and the purposeful amount of words. Was a fun read.

Definitely possible, text and tone is difficult and maybe I read their message the wrong way. Either way it was overwhelming in my opinion. Also I do know that some people really hate this author and their other works. 100 Days and There's No Way are series I tried but I couldn't get into them personally, so I moved on. Regardless I don't understand some of the hate I've seen online, and with this new work I'm open to giving it a fair chance.

This is exactly what I'd expect from this author lol I love it.

Lol this vampire chick about to collect weird girls on her harem.

Base in cover, harem incominggg

Well said, @FluffyCow. While Teren Mikami's previous works have indeed been controversial, which explains the understandable hate, it feels premature to harshly judge this new work based solely on its first chapter. That said, I’m not excusing their past writing choices, as I can see why some readers might approach any of their works old or new with skepticism. Disheartened expectations are difficult to rebuild. In the end, To each their own.

Thanks and I do agree with the sentiment of "To each their own". I also understand being skeptical and expectations preparing one for disappointment, though I also thought the commenter with the long response came across a bit too strongly in my opinion. Fair enough if they hate the author, I think this first chapter is alright and not worth that level of hate. Again that's just my opinion.

I generally apply the life motto I live by, "Hope for the best, Prepare for the worst". So I'm open minded with this series for now, but we'll see how it goes haha

this would be perfect if she wasn't actually under control and is just really really gay

@Temp

Okay the reference to Pilgrim's Progress got me, well done!

I love Teren Mikami's LNs and the manga adaptations have been pretty good too!

Thanks for the translation OP

So the vampire is a 400 year old virgin who has never drank blood before. How has she survived up until this point?

She doesn't say she's never drank blood before, she says she's never bitten a human before. She could have been drinking pre-extracted blood, or feeding from animals.

I can smell the harem

Semi-friend artist + Mikami-sensei?
This gonna be good.

Mikami Teren always manages to find good artist for their stories huh

Just to add to the theory that the human girl is not really under the vampire's control: her last name "von Bettelheim" is german and translates to "of/from the home of begging". That does not really invoke the image of someone who wears the pants in her relationships...

I want to believe that the girl's not actually been hypnotized and is just playing along.
I think that'd be really funny.

More vampire Yuri!

I hope the thrall is fucking with her. That would be great.

It seems like Teren Mikami is the most famous yuri author today. She invited Yukio (A room for two) and Takeshima Eku (Sasakoi) to illustrate the LN, and the manga has Musshu (artist for Hanashura, the anime currently being shown). Now she invites Minori Chigusa to draw too

Picture this.

I aspire to be this level of hater

I’m a sucker for vampire yuri, excited to see where this goes.

Me too.

Slightly off-topic, but there's a new vampire Yuri manhua that just came out too: "Kiss Me In The Dark Of Night"

It also looks interesting. It's on MangaDex but has not made it here yet.

Bettelheim is actually a jewish surname of hungarian origin; baring evidence to the contrary, i don't believe Teren Mikami intended such Eindeutung. Statistically, foreign authors are more likely to accidentially create asemantic abominations instead.

Saw this recommended by a superchat in a vtuber's stream lol. Vampires and yuri! Sign me up!
