僕の呪いの吸血姫 [Boku no Noroi no Kyūketsuki] #1

A striking opening volume from Chisaki Kanai, whose story and art set the tone immediately: a pale, red-eyed vampiress with flowing white hair leans intimately against a dark-clad young man amid a lush bloom of red roses and camellia flowers, blood dots visible on his neck. The moody, gothic-romantic composition makes My Dear Curse-Casting Vampiress feel like exactly the kind of brooding supernatural series that draws you in from the very first page.
