Call of the Night #4

Kotoyama's vampire-tinged romance keeps its delightfully eerie energy going in this fourth volume. The cover places two maid-uniformed figures on a dimly lit staircase — a dark-haired vampire girl grinning wide and flashing her fangs in the foreground, while a cooler, more guarded blonde stands at a distance behind her, the contrast between the two personalities almost crackling off the page. It's a moody, stylish snapshot of the series' knack for pairing supernatural charm with quietly complicated human (and not-so-human) relationships.
