Hungry for You Endo Yasuko Stalks the Night Vol. 1
In a desolate town, at a gloomy all-girls school where three students have gone missing, Shizue witnesses a murder! The murderer appears to be none other than fellow student Endo Yasuko, a striking beauty who shamelessly declares to Shizue that she is in fact a psycho killer, and hungers for Shizue?!

I didn't like this story very much.
I had so many expectations when I saw that the publisher was licensing another lesbian manga, but that's just the same old story.
Adolescent girls meeting and one of them nurturing some kind of feeling for the other (no one ever says she's in love), but the other girl is straight and finds it absurd.
So the story revolves in comedies and the girl (lesbian?) Running after the straight.

I surprisingly liked this one a lot-- even more surprisingly, I read it soon after taking it home from the book store. I enjoyed the array of different characters, the pacing, and how the manga never once took itself too seriously despite having serious tones. In terms of all of its elements, art style, comic format, pacing, character design, writing, etc., there's a few others I could compare it to.
Shakugan no Shana
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid
Sankarea
And there are others, I'm sure. Though these were the first four to come to mind, all of which I do like quite a bit as a casual read (or watch). I highly recommend this manga! It's light and fun and borders on yuri just as much as Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid does~.

This is the first volume in a new series that I read while house-sitting, and unfortunately it was not as good as I thought it would be. The two main characters aside, every other character is one cliche or another, and for supposedly being a "gag manga," most of the gags weren't that funny. The funniest part was when one character was trying to shoot Endo and kept missing, and it was only funny because of the poses Endo would do to dodge her. Aside from that, the rest of the manga just wasn't that funny. The art work and style was okay and what was drew me in initially, but good can't save a manga if it isn't good. The story is nothing to write home about and overall there just isn't that much to say about it.

Gorgeous in illustration, basic in plot.
Honestly, the plot felt like a hodge-podge of every other manga plot out there. It had some unique moments. But, to the most part, the true savior of the novel was the nostalgic art style.

Why do people buy manga? I guess it's for the pictures. I just finished a manga series where the stories were infantile or non-existent (Dragonar Academy), there was a cornucopia of fan art and the Goodreads scores were consistently near 4. This manga scores in the low 3's despite having a funny and interesting story and decent art. Go figure!

I didn’t realize this was a comedy manga more than anything when I started it. It was fine, though definitely unbelievable that Endo can literally drink from the main character and still not have her realize that she’s a vampire. Otherwise it was fine, though.
The translation also kept messing up the spelling of the main characters name, and that was annoying.

Mm. It's pretty, but it couldn't really keep my attention and it's not my kind of humor.

Cute but not something that made me feel super invested just yet. Good enough I’d try a second volume.

CAMP !! teenagers being sexualized by adults. CAMP !!

April 30, 2022Picked up because a vampire holding a box of tomatoes just seemed intriguing.
Unfortunately, no tomatoes were involved in the story.

It took me about three chapters to really get into this delicious manga. The main character, I have to admit, annoyed me from the get-go. The story opens with a special news report regarding three missing students at an all-girls' high school. The main character is roaming the school grounds at night and happens upon the vampire Endo Yasuko attacking and murdering a fourth student. She runs away, and then decides NOT to report what she saw because she doesn't want the hassle of being interviewed by police and reporters. I thought, what a terrible person!
Endo realizes she's been caught so she tracks down the girl to bribe her into silence by buying her food. They strike a bargain; she'll let Endo feed from her if Endo will move in and help pay the bills. When when the first full moon appears after they begin living together, Endo loses control and tries to feed on the first girl who passes by her, but she doesn't find her blood to her liking and rejects her. The rejected victim makes it her mission to expose and destroy Endo.
This story is really cute and funny, in that the main character 100% believes Endo is a serial killer but, despite letting her feed from her neck three times a day, does not think she is a literal vampire. All signs point toward the obvious, with Endo's aversion to churches and garlic and her rampant bloodlust, but the reader is still left guessing because somehow the main character's doubts influence your judgment. A lot of silly things happen along the way to keep the story light in spite of how dark it sounds. For example, when the rejected victim hires a vampire hunter from Texas who does not speak Japanese, Endo and the hunter have to trade insults by using an online translator and passing a cell phone back and forth!
But...is this a yuri manga? Hm...time will tell. Endo made a pass at the main character as soon as she moved in with her, and she only attacks females and won't even speak to men. There's no romance so far, but it's still a great manga and I can't wait to see where the story goes from here!
UPDATE: Second time reading, and loved it even more than before. I laughed out loud until I cried!

Hungry for You: Endo Yasuko Stalks the Night Art & Story By Flowerchild
Official Synopsis:
Three girls have gone missing in gloomy Yomai town, and the assailant appears to be Endo Yasuko--- a high school beauty who just might be a vampire! Her classmate Shizue has to wonder: Is Yasuko undead, a serial killer... or just plan weird? The truth is bound to come out in this quirky, slightly spooky tale of a delicious relationship.
Genres: Comedy, Supernatural, & Yuri Romance (LGBTQ+/Girl & Girl Love)
Book Style: Manga (Japanese Comics)
I decided to read Hungry for You: Endo Yasuko Stalks the Night By Flowerchild Vol.1 because I wanted to read something different and funny story about vampires; Vampires are also one of my favorite supernatural creatures. Once I started reading this book it felt like I was in a paranormal/horror film and I'm in love with it because of how creepy the story starts and continues to be! I really like how the storyline stays on track with the main characters and brings along new characters smoothly with each chapter; also how each character is very unique from each other which helps makes the story more enjoyable to read. I love how it has the classic vampire weakness in this story (For Example: Can't be near Church's, Dislikes the sun, & Hates the smell of garlic), for Endo Yasuko character! I like how the story isn't dark all the time by adding comical and romantic moments which made me laugh/happy. This story reminds me of another vampire story called Carmilla By J. Sheridan Le Fanu because it was one of the first LGBTQ+ Vampire books before Dracula was written; also Endo Yasuko & Makioka Shizue relationship dose grows like Carmilla and Laura's relationship. I love the artwork is beautiful and makes the story of creepy/romance feel match well with the whole concept! I love this book and I can't wait to read Hungry for You: Endo Yasuko Stalks the Night By Flowerchild Vol. 2 to find out what will happen next and if Endo Yasuko & Makioka Shizue will become lovers! I would recommend this book to people who love vampire stories/Vampire Lovers & Fans of Supernatural/Paranormal styles of Manga/Anime!

Hungry for You is a madcap vampire yuri romance about a vampire (Endo) who gets into an agreement with a teenager (Shizue) to allow her to suck Shizue's blood in exchange for free food. Shizue somehow doesn't know she's a vampire, but accepts that Endo might be a serial killer ??? I tolerated the wackiness, but the colorism made me over it.
Image: Endo looking at Mitsuru for the first time after pulling her through the wall. Mitsuru is confused and looks exhausted. In the 3rd panel (leftmost panel), Endo is sad and says Mitsuru is "too tan" to be a guest.
When Itami Mitsuru was introduced—a brown Japanese schoolgirl who happens to be the most sensible and likable character in the whole book—Endo exclaims "she's too tan." In the next few pages, she says she "doesn't like her looks" and that "she stinks." I don't know if it's a translation issue, and I don't really care. Even if colorism based on antiblackness weren't an issue, there's no plot, every character except Mitsuru are one-dimensional, and Flowerchild focuses too much on being wacky without any real direction.
