Back into the weird and wonderful world of vampire master Guilt-na-Zan. He was exorcised and bound into a cross only to be let out and trapped again in the body of a female doll now known as Guilt-na. He can regain his powers by drinking Tonae's blood, but the effects only last for 10 minutes at a time... The story starts with a little about the exorcist Kyoji (Guilt-na's master) and his brother Kyoichi. We find out why the brothers first quarrelled and see them solve a mystery together, show more only to start squabling again making it all worthless!

There is a strange short story about Guilt-na and Kyoji teaming up against Tonae and Vincent (a bat-man) to see who can make the best ice cream and then there is a section at Halloween where Gilt-na has a chance to become Guilt-na-Zan for ever. First though he must find the Pumpkin King and make a choice. The final two chapters revolve around Hugho who taught Kyoji his doll making skills and his doll Dante. Dante is not like other dolls, he has a soul and was modelled on Hugo's best friend who died and he can barely remember. As Dante tells his story he pieces together the truth of Hugho's past.

There are some random bonu strips thrown in for good measure and Vampire Doll written as if it were different popular manga's. It's hard to review this as it is so wacky and off the wall! It's fun, but I don't think I could sit and read more than one at a time as there isn't a lot of continuity. It does make fun of itself and manga in general though which I liked and it's just so strange you can't help but adore it! show less

I enjoyed this a lot more than I expected to. The art can be confusing at times (mostly because all the characters are basically twins), but I enjoy the silliness and all the breaking of the fourth wall. It's a fun read.

It was cute and funny and I love the way the fourth wall is broken. I like the bat man character best. However, it just isn't stellar so far. There is something a bit formulaic to the story. It was, however, a nice light read for when I was sick. I would like to read more but I can't see myself buying the next one new. Reading the others is not really a big priority for me.

This series is like no other I've read. Sure, it can be compared, and even found similar to others, but in the end there is some unidentifiable quality to it that has made it my favorite.

It's a fun and light read without being shallow, frivolous, or goofy. The characters are lovable, and the art is nice. If you like manga, give it a try.
