Karin 11

Chibi Vampire #11

by Yuna Kagesaki, Juha Mylläri (Translator)

Suhteet vinksin vonksin

Karin, entistäkin oudompi pikku vampyyri, kamppailee uusien ”vikojensa” kanssa. Siltä ei säästy myöskään hänen ja Kentan välinen orastava suhde. Samaan aikaan Anju joutuu kohtaamaan omat ongelmansa: hän on aina ollut yliherkkä auringonvalolle, mutta nyt tilanne on pahentunut merkittävästi. Onko hän muuttumassa täysikasvuiseksi vampyyriksi ennen isosiskoaan? Aiheuttaako se peruuttamattoman kuilun heidän välilleen?!

Sarjakuva etenee takakannesta etukanteen ja oikealta vasemmalle. Suositellaan yli 13-vuotiaille.

At first I was disappointed to see an entire book about Anju. Don't get me wrong, I like her quite a bit. By the end of the book though, I was in tears and thinking how utterly perfect it is, and how carefully this sets up the last books in the series. Wonderful wonderful book!

As Karin, our favorite chibi vampire, deals with the newly revealed defects of her own body and now knows that children born between a human and vampire are sterile, she is struggling with how it effect her relationship with Kenta in the future.

Meanwhile, her younger sister, Anju is facing her own set of problems. Anju has always been weak to sunlight but her aversion seems to be getting stronger. Could this mean she's close to becoming a fully awakened vampire? And how will Karin react to her baby sister becoming an adult vampire and being unable to go out in the day to help her? Will this change the relationship between the close sisters?

I loved seeing Anju needing help from her big sister Karin this volume as Anju had to say goodbye for her life in the works of daylight as she became a full vampire. It was great seeing a more sensitive side to Anju as she even seemed sad to say goodbye to her human friends. We also saw that while Karin is seen as a “defective” vampire for being able to bare sunlight and not requiring to drink blood but give it, it shows that sometimes your “problems” may be what someone else would view as a good thing.

ANJU VOLUME

I'm not even lying when I say I've been waiting for this volume for so long because Anju is my favorite in the series and as it is this is the most screen time I remember her having and its just all angst.

She loves her sister so much that she wanted to force herself to have more time with her, but she couldn't and the tragedy of it lies in them both wanting to spend so much time with each other but living in two different worlds. They love each other so much that it's honestly heartbreaking that now they can't have their shared times and if what I remember of the ending is right it's even worse so just, rip us and all of our emotions.

Esse volume foi inteiramente focado na Anju, e como ela se sente ao perceber que está despertando como vampira. Fiquei com muita pena dela, porque dá pra ver, desde o primeiro volume, o quanto a Anju é apegada à Karin, e como esse despertar vai mudar - nem que seja um pouco - a relação delas.

Mas não sei, senti esse volume meio como um filler, gostaria que tivesse pelo menos um capítulo - e não uma cena rápida - sobre o que a mãe da Karin está fazendo, e algo sobre os mistérios apresentados nos últimos volumes.

WOW!

Per me questo è il miglior volume della serie. Più che su Karin, però, si concentra su Anju e sulla sua trasformazione in vampira adulta. E lei cerca di combatterla il più a lungo possibile perché non vuole dire addio alla luce del sole. E anche perché, d'ora in poi Karin sarà solo durante il giorno.

Bello, bello, bello!

Poor Anja!!! I'm glad Ten was nice for once. Okay, not only this time, but really. Poor Anja. 😖

[Jessica · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not quite as good as the rest of the series, but I still enjoyed it.

[David Doel · Rating 4 out of 5]

This seemed more like a side story than a part of the main plot.

[Phoebe · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very melancholic!

[Bill Fish · Rating 4 out of 5]

Kind of a tragedy. It made me sad, but I'm not sure why yet. Centered on Anju the little sister, who seems more advanced than Karin.

[J-Lynn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hallelujah! I remember Anju’s reaction at the end! I did read this series! (๑ó⌓ò๑) Seriously, I was beginning to think that I only read the first volume….

[R · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another awesome volume! High emotion depicted very well and beautiful character artwork.
So much sadness in this volume.

[Priscilla Pereira · Rating 4 out of 5]

A Anju é a minha personagem favorita de “Karin”. O fato de esse volume ficar nela faz com que eu seja suspeita parar falar hahaha. Adoro esse volume! Dá para ter uma ideia melhor dos sentimentos da Anju principalmente em relação à Karin e ao fato de ela (a própria Anju) estar “virando adulta”.

[Samantha · Rating 4 out of 5]

Anju reaches maturity as a vampire earlier than expected! I didn't think she'd be so upset to leave the human world but this really goes to show she has emotions and loves her sister dearly.

[Stacey · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another strong outing for Yuna Kagesaki.

Volume 11 focuses on Anju and what it means to awaken as a vampire. I really connected with the youngest Maaka for the first time in this volume. I found it really interesting to see Karin transform from the one who needs protecting to the one doing the protecting. Her relationship with Kenta still seems to be going well and I think that's giving her more confidence in her own abilities. I'm curious to see how she'll react to being alone during the daylight.

Anju's blood preference for loneliness was an inspired choice. It gives some insight into what fuels the blood preferences of the other members of her family. I think this volume answered a lot of questions about how Kagesaki sees the vampire myths in her creation.

As Karin deals with the newly revealed defects of her own body and how long it will affect her relationship with Kenta, Anju is facing her own set of problems. Anju has always been weak to the sunlight but her aversion seems to be getting stronger. Could this mean she's getting closer to becoming a fully awakened vampire? How will Karin react when she finds out? And will it tear apart the friendly sisters forever?

This volume was very suspenseful, and I finished it the some day I bought it. Anju awakes as a vampire early, and goes through a lot. I can't wait to see what this series leads up to when the final volume (14) is released.

[Colby · Rating 4 out of 5]

Though Anju up to this point has projected a cold, hard, mature exterior, in this volume we begin to see that she is not as detached from the human world as she tries to seem. When a vampire awakens, they, by necessity, have to leave the daylight world of the humans. In my mind, Anju has been steeling herself against this day her entire life, trying to keep classmates at arms length hoping that it will lessen the pain when she has to leave them. Anju discovers she cares for them more than she thought and her awakening is heartbreaking.

[William · Rating 4 out of 5]

Anjou is growing up -- a scary time indeed! The story was both cute and a little sad. Getting older means changes for everyone, and not all are welcome. Makes me reflect on my own life and how things are going (or not :-).

[Mehsi · Rating 3 out of 5]

Didn't like this volume as much as the others. I don't mind Anju that much. I just find her annoying most of the time, always snooping on her sister. And now with her turning to adult aka full vampire she seems even more bleh.

[Rachel (Sfogs) · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good book, but poor Anju~!!!

This series just keeps getting better and better.

[Hazel Fung · Rating 5 out of 5]

I like Anju, shes so cute. Ren used to be an annoying brother in the story but you realise deep down he does care about his sisters

[Grace · Rating 4 out of 5]

ANJUUUUUUUU-CHANNNNNN!!!!

[Armando Hernández · Rating 3 out of 5]

All this manga was about Anju it was a sad story and now karin is alone in the day.

[Christina · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm sad. The feels in this book are so intense. It's great and I just want to keep reading more because of that.

[Mike · Rating 5 out of 5]

Quick thoughts: Great installment. Anju takes center stage and the entire volume is dedicated to letting her story properly unfold. Big consequences for Karin's family life.
