吸血鬼と愉快な仲間たち [Kyūketsuki to Yukai na Nakama-tachi] #1

A striking cover sets the mood perfectly for this vampire tale from Hakusensha: a fair-haired young man in white is framed against lush red roses, while a dark, sharp-featured figure looms behind him — the contrast between light and shadow doing exactly what it should. The subtitle Vampire and Pleasant Companions hints at something a little more playful and intimate than straight-up gothic horror, and that tension between warmth and menace comes through beautifully in the composition. If you enjoy stylish supernatural manga with a romantic undercurrent, this first volume looks like a very promising start.
