I adore Rosario Vampire. This series is goofy, fun and quite lovable. The mass amount of monsters and little pieces of lore I pick up makes it even more enjoyable. I truly enjoy how this series keeps growing and not just making it only about Moka. Everyone is starting to get involved with the action.

I can tell this is where the story is really starting to take off. Something is changing with Tsukune and I'm nosy where it's gonna go. Things will never be the same... Especially since we just show more met the Headmaster. I'm so excited to see where this goes! It only gets better and better.

If you want a manga that's a mix of romance, horror, fantasy, high school drama and action then grab this book! It's a fun, little, easy read.

Rosario Vampire Volume 3 continues the fun in this awesomely, action-packed monster manga!

I am totally digging this manga! Undeniably so! I just can't get enough of this super fun high school drama. It's childish at times, but super fun and addicting. It's easy to just sink into and forget about the world. To top it all off, this series just keeps getting better. It's not always just Moka getting all the action in, plus there's new drama around every corner.

I'm glad they still introduce show more random monsters throughout but have changed the general formula of this book. It's not just introducing a new monster to fight every single chapter. Now there's plot lines to follow and continued drama. I like that this series is growing! It makes me only way to read it more.

Rosario Vampire Volume 1 is an absolute delight and I am so pumped to work my way through this series!

This VIZ manga follows human Tsunami as he gets sent to a school full of monsters. He didn't realize this, especially since he wasn't the best student and this was the only school that accepted him. Moka, a pretty vampire girl, takes a liking to him instantly and sucks his blood. Suddenly, the two are the best of friends (or more?). Along the way they meet a succubus who also has eyes for show more Tsunami, some crafty mermaids and a riveting werewolf. Nothing's easy at this academy, let me tell ya!

This manga has spunky personality and it's wild fun! I really enjoyed this book and I was hooked and addicted almost instantly. The illustrations are fun and flirty, the story is PG-13 and had me snickering. It's like a YA or New Adult manga that flirts with action, thrills, romance and school life. Add in the wickedly funny writing talent Akihisa Ikeda has and you've got yourself a winner.

I highly recommend this book! It's definitely one of my favourite manga I've ever read and I'm going to be working my way through this entire series very soon.

Oh, this series is such fun! I am totally loving Rosario Vampire and all of the goofy, silly antics this group gets into.

This feels like the fun of a middle schooler, wrapped up for Young and New Adults. Tsukune and his bunch of misfit girls are quite the delight, adding a new friend into the mix and dealing with some new issues. Another teacher is up to some tricks, an abominable snowgirl is hanging around and something is going on with Tsukune himself!

I love this series and I think it's show more quite the hidden gem for VIZ manga. I can't get enough of it! The characters grow, and it's not just the Moka show anymore. Everyone gets in the action, and there's lots of immature hilarity that takes place. Plus, monsters galore! The little myth and lore hidden in this book is awesome.

I highly recommend grabbing this book! It's quite the throw back but a super fun manga to sink and let yourself escape from the world in. It's also quite amusing! Who doesn't need a little action and hilarity in their life right now?
