Almost forgot, “The novel”? I actually thought it was just a doujinshi all along, considering that there were so few pages for each so-called “chapter”, so was there a novel to provide more context before? Or is that a new thing? Not often when we get to see a novel appear after the comic, that’s for sure.

The novel is releasing day and date alongside the web manga. Since the manga adapts the novel part, the novel does go into more detail (although I dunno if there's any translations that aren't mtl/ai slop yet).

Hm. Not even sure I'd consider this chapter an improvement. But nice to see the series getting a serialization nonetheless.

Haha, I don't remember exactly the feeling evoked in the original, but here you get so clearly the reversal of who is the dominant one in this relationship. Can't wait to see it again.

Wakana has always been the real queen. She just loves Ruruna too much to break her delusions.

Judging by this first chapter I expect this series twist to be all the girls shes biting just always had a crush on her and their just pretending to be mindslaves to get closer to her because vampire mind control isnt real

Honestly it seemed like that was the subtext of the original series, though Yura's motivation might be more like "ok fine, if I want to get with Wakana I guess I have to deal with this abject weirdo she spends all her time around"

If I was a betting woman I would not bet on an "all the dubiously consensual stuff was actually 100% consensual the whole time" reveal in something written by Mikami Teren. Even calling it a twist would be generous, given that any sort of mind manipulation is exceedingly rare in yuri manga, even including the vampire stuff.

Not that the narrative relies all that much on the mind control to provide tension anyway. "It's hot, don't worry about it" is the motto, even more so than with Mikami Teren's other works.

Okay so I went back to the OG to look for any harem Tags and I didn't see any, but like, im sceptical so I just wanna ask the comments instead. IS THIS A HAREM??? (Even if it is the art style is super cute and I bet it'll be good ofc ofc)

In the pre-serialization, Ruruna-sama so far got three girls (or two girls and a woman) under her control. I hope that's harem-y enough for you.
