This whole premise is just complete nonsense. I'll give it a couple more chapters though.

Also on page 33, I thought Shirotae-sama was about to start quoting "Ironic" by Alanis Morissette lol

Yo, I genuinely didn't read a death flag this early. Like, a couple of chapters, sure, the girl wasn't gonna hold up, but the end of the pilot? Whew, boy. Also, like, genuinely expected between these two that it'd be consensual and all, but that's besides the point. But I like the overall flavour of the thing as presented in the chapter. There's a lot of sugar, but in the blend are also a lot of other spices waiting for their highlight on the palate. Lotsa spice, that's a definite.

Now I don't necessarily deem her dead dead, but I'm open to being surprised further. I wonder how this implicates the other one. I hope she's remorseful, and it was a libido/hunger-driven frenzy type thing rather than a cold and calculated deed. I wouldn't mind a third-party thing, and that she's innocent, that might be too convoluted too early.

Either way, I was already sold when I saw vampire yuri, there was no need to invest anything further lol.

And sort of as an aside, vampires are inherently very intimate and sexual by nature, vampire girls are... I guess at this point, by influence and coding are inherently gayer than most, but up to the final pages of the chapter, shit was almost surprisingly homoerotic... uh... lesboerotic? sapphoerotic? You know what I mean. Part of me feels like this is just Yukiko's style, considering their works and all, but more practically, I'm inclined to assume it was drummed up to "divert" from the big bang of the ending, and whether one fell for it, like I have, or didn't, I appreciate it. Y'know, actual writing.

Saw Paimons face in my head after reading emergency food XD
Jokes aside, we’re in for a crazy ride ig. I had a hunch that the “pretty neck” wasn’t brought up just for the sake of it but also didn’t expect chekhovs gun to fire so soon. Looking forward for the next chapter!

I needed someone to fill the void that VAMPEERZ left when it ended.

A yuri vampire manga written by the legend(in my opinion ) who made futaribeya?

By all means, please do.

I haven't read anything else by this author so I'm kinda hesitant to get into this after reading some of the comments

If a mangaka wrote a story about elderly care it'd still be set in some sort of school primarily featuring middle- or high schoolers. Sometimes it just gets tiresome that everything gets forced into such a narrative alley, and I feel here that's definitely a case where it's notable. There's so many other ways this story could've been constructed ...

Hopefully this is at least some convoluted false-flag-murder by a human anti-vampire faction ^^

I understand your take on "not going anywhere".

But futaribeya struck me, really hard, since the pilot chapters, which often I go and read again.

That's why I used "legend" for Yukiko, the artstyle and story kept me entertained and made me happy while reading it.

So in the end it was more an opinion, I understand that it may be controversial, I'll edit it to make it clear for others who will read it.

Cheers.

Ah, the opposite to Ruruna-sama: Instead of light-hearted harem romcom about a vampire hiding at the human school, we get bloody homoerotic thriller about the human hiding in the vampire school.

Wild speculation that would probably turn out wrong time: Sara is indeed the one who killed Hitomi, but she was under the control of Shirotae or another progenitor, with the goal of ending the positive relations between humans and vampires. Why would Yukiko introduce different classes of vampires unless it's relevant to the plot? We were told vampires have some mind control or hypnosis powers, who's to say progenitors can't use those on lower class vampires.

Maybe weird and a bit illogical setting. And blood and violence is not my thing. But...on the other hand, I do find this interesting.

Honestly I think this is one case where the (boarding) high school setting makes sense, you need everyone living together in the same place and the plot seems to depend on teenage emotions running high.

Incidentally, since Shirotae is an alumna, shouldn't this have the Age gap tag?

I feel like you could analogize the vampire/human dynamic as the classic male/female predator/prey dynamic. Like the fake fangs Utao wears are a form of Crossdressing. Page 22, where they stare at her after she cites the student handbook, really calls to mind stereotypical "boys' talk". Not sure if that's the direction this is going though.

Agreed, and at least 6 ongoing Yuri I'm reading are adult focused without high/middle schoolers. As someone who enjoys romance focused on both adults and coming of age romance, everything between and so fourth, I'm personally happy and feeling well fed on varied fronts lol

Is Utao a Secret Vampire and doesn't know it herself and was hypnotized by someone else to tear up her roomie?

I've seen less cracked ideas...

People talking about gore made me expect, like, entrails or something. Vampire tag should prepare people for seeing some blood and a dead body or two.

I'm kinda curious where the plot might be going. Or what the plot will even be. I'm also fine with whatever weird setting it might be, as long as there's some internal logic.

And yeah, I'm on the same boat as people being cautious of this author, although while most people complain that Futaribeya didn't have enough actual yuri or didn't really go anywhere, my complaint is that the author ruined a comfy, subtle relationship with their need to make Sakurako question the relationship herself. Which just turned the whole thing into a mess for me.

Lol you and half the commenters here should consider reading Yukiko's other works on this site. She's not shy about writing lesbians. They're nothing like Futaribeya (although Futaribeya is still one of the best yuri series out there. No accounting for poor taste I guess.) (But yeah, Yukiko's usual work is nothing like Futaribeya so I wouldn't draw weird conclusions from her fluffy feel good series. Draw them from the pube plucking oneshot or the sadistic, induced vomiting one)

This one is great coming off the heels of the release of the very fun and very gay toxic lesbian vampire book Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil. If vampire yuri is your thing, i suggest anyone here check it out.
