Looks like I spoke too soon about not having the time to pick up my Kinokuniya order.

Rosario + Vampire Vol.5

Yet another new girl in the latest volume of Rosario + Vampire. Damn, is the mangaka going to do this for every book or something? D:

The cliffhanger from last volume ends so fast that it barely hits one quarter of the book. Rubi doesn’t die! Wo0t! I guess that’s kind of expected… but you never know when a mangaka feels a streak of sadism and kills off a perfectly good character *cough* Black Cat *cough*

And in case the GIGANTIC boldface words on the cover don’t clue you in (or you don’t read Japanese), the new girl is an ice demon… thing. Well more accurately she’s a 雪女 yuki onna from traditional Japanese mythology (well, more like fariy tales I guess). And you know how it always goes it those stories…

Frankly I wish the mangaka just stops introducing new characters and start an actual storyline that doesn’t end within one and a half volumes. Preferably something about Moka. <3

As usual with each volume of Vampire, I now have to wait another four months for the next volume. Draw faster you lazy artists! It’s just a few hundred frames!

P.S. Mai-Otome episode 20 has finally crossed the line of no return. I’m also continuing to keep up with REC, Fate/stay night and the occasional Zipang. Dropped Kashimashi just in time to save myself from a boredom-induced death.

P.S.S. Death Note Vol.10 is good too. Needs more Misa though.
