The Record of a Fallen Vampire, Vol. 4

The Record of a Fallen Vampire #4

by Kyo Shirodaira, Yuri Kimura (Artist)

A tale of the Vampire King's tragic love and its consequences

Thousands of years ago, Vampire King Akabara "Red Rose" Strauss lost both his kingdom and his queen. Since humans were unable to kill the queen, they sealed her away, erecting thousands of fake seals so that the king would never find her true location. Despite being pursued by relentless dhampires, Akabara continues to search for his queen to this day…

With aliens poised to take over Earth, Akabara forges a tentative alliance with the humans to help fight off the invasion. But can everyone on the team be trusted, especially since the Black Swan's ultimate mission is to kill Akabara?

Stranger and stranger!

It's becoming weird, but I have an idea of what the author is hinting at (I hope I'm right, because it's really far-fetched otherwise!) Mixed feelings here.

Tried to get over aliens but this one was a struggle to finish

[Alyssa]

I can't keep reading. It's been dragging since volume one and my patience has run out. This is a nine volume series, it should not take this long to get interesting.

[Brittany]

Was ok, weird kind of aliens

[Dylanw]

I loved it I won't spoil it but it gets very good around page 24

Strano

Già questo fumetto è strano e provoca in me due reazioni differenti:
*la prima di buttarlo giù dalla finestra perchè la storia degli alieni proprio non regge...almeno per me..
*la seconda di stupore.
Si stupore perchè è incredibile come riesce a farsi leggere...è così..come dire...contorto!

é contorto in quanto c'è tutta una storia non ancora sveleata che è lì..e piano piano viene fuori...lui Strauss è così impenetrabile...non si capisce davvero..ti spiazza ogni volta.
La sua protetta, è uno spasso!!! mi fa troppo ridere...e poi Brigitta! così enigmatica..e Cigno nero..dovrebbe essere iper cattivo..ed è invece così dolce e comprensiva...

e poi che intrighi! davvero neanche Beautiful!

Vi dirò..tutto questo mi piace! e mi sa proprio che lo continuerò..visto che è finito con una rivelazione da avermi fatto saltare sulla sedia e...che mi lascia col fiato sospeso!

To be honest, Kyo Shirodaira, falters in this volume. After establishing a fantastical, even for a vampire manga story, premise in the previous volume, Shirodaira spends much of this one being conventional.

While I am hopeful more will be revealed, this particular volume left me wanting to move on to the next.

I loved the art and it has an interesting storyline.
