Interesting - it seems that Aria has some sort of memory problems. IIRC that was already hinted at earlier with her apparently not remembering Khara at all, but this chapter seems to help support that idea, considering the implication that she and Ichika's grandma used to be close.

Speaking of which, Aria's (possible) memory problems make me wonder just how close she and Ichika's grandma used to be. Before it seemed that Ichika was her first kiss, indicating that Aria went further with Ichika than anyone else, but now it's a bit unclear...

Of course, I could just be reading too much into this.

I think it's safe to say this is the first time Aria has fallen in love, at least as far as she remembers

Author/artist is very good at drawing kissing scenes.

That's not enough for kisses this good. You'd have to study lips real closely to get this kind of detail.

On another note, I love how horny these two are. They seriously can't get within a foot of each other without making out.

Grandma sounds like she was a protagonist or something

Wasn't his earlier work cancelled because of tracing issues? Plus online sleuths on 2ch finding his "references" for his "other" works

I don't think it's memory problems, I just think she's really fucking olde

Yes, Prism and Japanese Preteen Suite (loli hentai). Shou is really good but eh, he's lazy as fuck

More like Aria is not comfortable divulging information about Ichika's grandmother yet. It's a really touchy subject with her and from the looks of it, the grandmother was about to commit suicide in the flashback. That's not something you just go flapping your gums over to the granddaughter.

This manga keeps dancing on the edge of drama only to fall back on comedy. Here's to hoping they never actually make that jump

I almost didn't see the bite mark on this page

Even though I love the story and these two, I find it a bit off putting that there's a possibility that Aria is just obsessed with Ichika because of how similar she is to her grandma

(Ch. 19) yeah I think Aria is starting to feel some guilt about their relationship. Between the “I’m leaving to protect you” vibe and the thinking about her grandma, I think it’s being made pretty clear that Aria’s not been/being completely open about what’s going on for her vis a vis their relationship.

"Tired", yes... :D

It is truly impressive how well this manga mixes moments of profound depth and then lapses back to humor. It keeps the mood just right.

Y'ALL
I went back to re-read this after the latest chapter and know that we know what grandma looks like, this page https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/vampeerz_ch14 make so much sense.
This means that her grandma was ALSO one of those few people capable of wielding the sword. We had a little bit of foreshadowing of this on this page too: https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/vampeerz_ch03#19
when Ichika refused to kill Aria and she said that reminded her of Chiyo, before being cut off my Ichika.
Someone earlier said that from the looks of it, grandma may have tried to kill herself so maybe because she had tried it and knew what it felt like, she refused to take Aria's life?

Sorry if it's kind of a lackluster analysis but no one had pointed it out and I just had to.

There's an hoe mad
and her name is Alkamil

An interesting detail is that the sword in Yanyan's(?) flashback seems to be a rather decent depiction of a kopis or falcata or analogous - the Greeks may have picked the design up from the Persians - which in Classical Antiquity were widely popular from the Pillars of Herakles to northwestern India. Note in particular the distinctive C-shaped semi-enclosed grip which easily distinguishes those from the much later (possibly related) kukris and yataghans of similar blade form.

...and this concludes today's installment of hoplology geekout. :d

I reread this chapter after seeing this and damnnn there's a lot of things in this chapter that haven't been drawn

Ah I didn't realize it was the bird, I also really don't want her to die. I've been keeping a certain distance between me and this series since the start, since I know the author likes to get extremely dark in some of their works. Seeing a character about to be burned alive in this otherwise goofy series is...horrifying and honestly upsetting. I'm personally not a fan of the author going in this direction.

Using manipulated pictures to save time creating backgrounds is a very valid way to save time in the professional art world. I personally think they fit in well enough and serve their purpose haha. Do you guys feel like these things take away from the reading experience? I’m really curious. Thank you~

It looks fine to me, maybe I'm just used to it for this work.

And don't burn the raven girl. >_<
