=3= Not sure what to catagorize this one as.
Title: Blood Alone
Author: Takano Masayuki
Genre: Seinen, Drama, Romance, Mystery, Supernatural
Serialized in: Media Works Dengeki Daioh, Infinity Studios (English License, never heard of them either)
Total Volume Count: 5 (ongoing)
Summary from Infinity Studios
Enter Misaki, perhaps the most innocent and most sincere young lady there ever was. It’s almost inconceivable that she could be a vampire. And with her powers as a vampire, she could easily entice any human to do her bidding…but she chooses not to. Especially when it comes to Kuroe, a young author who has a deep running past with vampires. This wonderful story of pure innocent love charmingly bonds Misaki to the readers. She’ll absolutely delight you with her earnest love for a human and her resolve to protect a willing mutual relationship versus turning Kuroe.Kenn's Comment: The manga's events, for some of them at least, are based on Takano's original works for this. Was originally a set of doujinshi, with the same characters and whatnot, and each book would be a different event, ie. a Christmas night or whatnot. Anywho, it's a good series. A nice charm to it. Again, the sites I use to look around for information about manga classified this as shounen, and I really didn't buy that, so I gave it a seinen tag. Plus the doujins are seinen, so why wouldn't by the adaptation be? MangaFox gave this a Lolicon tag. I can't really rule that out, though at the same time, I can't say it's really lolicon. =3= Plus Lolicon seems to carry a certain stigma that makes people avoid it. =3=
