Review
Dance in
The Vampire Bund is a vampire manga that I happened to catch the short series
on Netflix a few years ago. The anime never had an end so I’m hoping to get one
by reading the manga. Mina Tepes is the vampire ruler even though she has the
body of a 9-year-old girl. Her guardians are the earth clan a pack of
werewolves and she’s taken a fancy to one young shifter Akira making him her
companion. The Vampire Bund has been created at last offering a safe place to
all the vampires they just have to be oathed to Mina the vampire. However,
someone is determined that Mina won’t lead and is attempting to have her
killed. Thankfully she has Akira by her side even though I think Mina can take
just about anyone. She’s also wanting to start sending the vampire children to
the school where Akira was attending claiming it was built with the intention
of teaching both. However, the students as well as vampires aren’t so thrilled
and things run rapid.
In
the 14th and final installment in the series we find Mina and Akira
have made it to safety. Mina is determined to take back the Bund and save her
people, starting an all-out war against her home. With the help of the
shifters, an old friend, and her connections they are able to set things right
again. Saving her vampires from the public, and taking control of what is rightfully
hers. Will she find out who the false queen is and who betrayed her?
I find
Mina an intriguing character even though she’s an ancient vampire trapped she’s
in the body of a young girl which makes her seem weaker. I have a feeling she’s
a lot more than the girl she appears to be at least so I far and I’m curious to
see how she evolves. Not sure how I feel about Akira I’ve got some mixed
feelings about him at the moment. I see a potential love match but hopefully
Mina will grow up a little physically.
I watched
the anime on Netflix but it didn’t really have a ending and that was a few
years ago so I’m hoping to see how it will play out. I like the art some of the
detailing is well done. The concept is interesting the idea of building a
vampire city for them all to live in seems to work protecting the vampires as
well as the humans. Mina is an interesting character who’s quickly growing on
me with each page. The story is face paced flowing smoothly along. I’m a little
disappointed that it’s over because while it ended well we are left with a
cliffhanger and I hate when that happens. With the spin off series I’m hoping
one of them will give me the resolution that I need. Overall I very much
enjoyed it.
