Dance in the Vampire Bund 9
Betrayal by a rogue agent has rocked the Vampire Bund hard, especially Akira. Even worse, the agent has stolen the most damaging secret that Princess Mina tried hardest to conceal--namely, that Mina has the ability to transform into a full-grown woman capable of bearing children.With this news leaked to the lords of the three great vampire clans, the brazen Lord Ivanovic launches an all-out assualt on the Bund in order to claim Mina for himself. Princess Mina is left no choice but to counter-attack, as her once idyllic haven for vampires is turned into a war zone with massive casualties on both sides.

Hasta ahora, este ha sido el volumen que se ha centrado más en la acción pues la organización Telomere por fin decide atacar a la princesa y todo lo que ella representa.
Ivanovic, Angie y un puñado de asesinos se han organizado de tal forma que la princesa Mina tiene que usar todos sus recursos para proteger no sólo el Bund y a sus habitantes que, gracias al ‘Flautista’, ahora están enganchados en una guerra civil.
El equipo de élite Beowulf, con ayuda de los soldados hombres lobo veteranos, resisten un poco más de lo esperado pues, aunque son soldados bien entrenados, el número de víctimas aumenta a cada minuto.
Mientras tanto, Ivanovic revela su verdadera apariencia y se enfrenta a Mina y Akira, exponiéndolos en el proceso. Sin embargo, ambos logran derrotarlo y deshacerse de su horrendo ser.
El conflicto político que se avecina no augura nada bueno, por si fuera poco, el volumen termina con un cliff-hanger y un plot-twist que jamás hubiera imaginado. Esta es la segunda vez que leo el manga, y aun así me sorprendí tanto como cuando lo leí hace muchos años.
Para mi este manga tiene la combinación perfecta entre desarrollo de personajes y trama; y aunque algunos capítulos tienen un poco de fan-service, es una historia que va más allá de sólo mostrar a criaturas terribles y fascinantes como son los vampiros y hombres lobo. La moralidad de los personajes, así como sus múltiples facetas, nos obligan a discutir temas que actualmente se viven (como los refugiados en países de medio oriente, la economía mundial y el interminable deseo de poder de algunas potencias y lo que estarían dispuestos con tal de dominar otros territorios).
Siendo honestos, no creo que Dance in the Vampire Bund sea para todo el público, así que hay que adentrarse a este manga con una mente abierta pues el estilo del mangaka ciertamente está enfocado en el género seinen (no hay censura con respecto a la violencia o los desnudos, y además de que existen relaciones tabúes).
Aun así, lo recomiendo muchísimo y resta decir que es uno de mis mangas favoritos.

Mina's secret is finally out! Oh Angie what have you done and why!! It's not a shocker he is still alive... this had to come out sooner or later!
A well choreographed story line in which the bund in finally attacked from all corners by Ivanovic and the secret group Telomere. The virus helps a great deal in the attack. Mina truly cares for her people going out of her way to protected them herself in battle. Who survived?! Angie turned Yuzuru?! Nanami are yous till with us?! Mina has been kidnapped and replaced with a doppelganger!! Someone that she apparently knows!!!!
Presenting the Elders on the Earth Clan was so fun!!! They are a hoot, and the Elites are scared of them. Funny!! The dialogue between them is entertaining.
So much fan service. Even in the heat of battle.
Oh and I love Veratos and her true form!

Enjoyable read, but I personally had a harder time getting through this one. I'm not entirely sure why.

That was really not necessary.

April 10, 2011I have no idea why I like this fan-service laden series, but I do. This volume was jam-packed with fighting, explosions, and even the eminent melt-down of a nuclear reactor. Sounds a little too much like current day events to be escapist reading! Ends with a great cliff-hanger, and I want more. Just don't tell my mom that I read this!

Dance in the Vampire Bund is about a homeland for vampires being set up on a manmade island in Tokyo harbor. The vampire queen is Mina Tepes and her bodyguard and closest friend is Akira, a werewolf. There are politics in the world of vampires and none is more intense than the heads of the three vampire families vying for Mina Tepes in order to continue the pureblood line of vampires. Except for the unknown group attempting to kidnap/assassinate the queen. This is quite an episode of intrigue and action.

Whenever specific scenes from Nozomu Tamaki make me go “oooh $&@t !” like the scene at the reactor, that’s a five star book. This one is a thriller start to finish, so much intrigue and twists. So good - nice one.
Im always amazed at how Tamaki brings things full circle, can’t wait to start vol 1 and read it all again to see the links.

This volume is basically mostly action so not much to talk about but some nice mystery building with some nice twists.

會看這部是因為動畫版。動畫版那個「綜藝節目辯論世間有無吸血鬼」的開頭有創意，漫畫相較之下就有點無聊，一直到女王現真身、三大家族亂鬥才比較有趣，而且愛情段落根本沒有懸念，女王跟她的小狼之所以會演變成這樣都是理所當然；基礎背景設定也不夠強，相當一廂情願。（寫於2012年12月23日）

Dance in The Vampire Bund is a vampire manga that I happened to catch the short series on Netflix a few years ago. The anime never had an end so I’m hoping to get one by reading the manga. Mina Tepes is the vampire ruler even though she has the body of a 9-year-old girl. Her guardians are the earth clan a pack of werewolves and she’s taken a fancy to one young shifter Akira making him her companion. The Vampire Bund has been created at last offering a safe place to all the vampires they just have to be oathed to Mina the vampire. However, someone is determined that Mina won’t lead and is attempting to have her killed. Thankfully she has Akira by her side even though I think Mina can take just about anyone. She’s also wanting to start sending the vampire children to the school where Akira was attending claiming it was built with the intention of teaching both. However, the students as well as vampires aren’t so thrilled and things run rapid.
In the 9th installment has Yuki healing from her attack that almost killed her. Akira is still dealing with the betray from his former friend Angie who infiltrated the Bund to get detailed information for an attack. While still dealing with the betray they didn’t expect to see a new attack from one of the three turning their own people against them. Will the bund survive that attack that is determined to destroy them all and land Mina in the hands of one of the three.
I find Mina an intriguing character even though she’s an ancient vampire trapped she’s in the body of a young girl which makes her seem weaker. I have a feeling she’s a lot more than the girl she appears to be at least so I far and I’m curious to see how she evolves. Not sure how I feel about Akira I’ve got some mixed feelings about him at the moment. I see a potential love match but hopefully Mina will grow up a little physically.
I watched the anime on Netflix but it didn’t really have a ending and that was a few years ago so I’m hopping to see how it will play out. I like the art some of the detailing is well done. The concept is interesting the idea of building a vampire city for them all to live in seems to work protecting the vampires as well as the humans. Mina is an interesting character who’s quickly growing on me with each page. The story is face paced flowing smoothly along. I’m looking forward to seeing how it will all play out at last. I’m quickly finding the series addicting it’s hard to put down the more I read the more I want to know how it’s going to play out next.

Hime-sama and especially Akira have to deal with their betrayal which goes beyond just destroying Akira emotionally. Detailed plans of the bund and its defenses are now in the hands of Hime-sama’s enemies. Worse, the three vampire princes now know she can take adult form and bear a child.
The story opens more gently with the arrival of the old werewolves and the young pups are in a panic. Apparently they’re tough old codgers and it’s pretty amusing and then there is a picnic for Yuki who is still recovering and suffering from aphasia due to the brain damage she suffered. We meet the princess’s personal photographer but the peace ends quickly. The volume is non-stop action with loads of Machiavellian plotting by the three vampire princes and Ivanovic himself comes to the island to claim Hime-sama. There will be further betrayals and plot twists in this including the revelation of Telomere’s main player, though why they wanted to name themselves after mitotic control of the cell I have no idea. Telomerase would be more accurate, a protein seen in cancer.
The action is intense. The art is fine as always. I don’t even know why the mangaka bothers with clothes at all for Hime-sama when every time she spends ninety percent of her onscreen appearances naked but for panties. The art on the cover is out of proportion, disturbingly so. I hate to say it, the artist does better drawing Hime-sama in her big-boobed, adult form.

I really liked this volume. The sense of crisis and anxiety was so crushingly real, I very rarely read a volume of manga this fast. The fight scenes were awesome, and I absolutely LOVED the "Old Codgers" and their scenes.
I dimly remembered the end of this volume from the last time I read it, but it was still an awesome plot twist nonetheless!
