The manga does a good job portraying the misery of vampirism, it doesn't romanticize it, instead, it shows the vampires living like homeless junkies with a horrifying addiction to blood. All the characters were fascinating even the family members of the main characters. I also stopped reading it halfway through because I noticed the panels of the manga started getting bigger and emptier, it sometimes felt like filler. So I instead waited till the last chapter to continue reading the story. The ending was supremely satisfying, we got to go back in the past and witness parts of Nora's human life and her unfortunate transformation, and we also get to see way into the future how Okazaki witnesses the mortal lifespans of his loved ones. Amazing review btw.

One of my gripes is how little Nora was utilized. Like she was this cool 'mysterious girl X' type of character, but doesn't really do much until the end where they throw in her backstory in the exact same beat they did for the girl from Aku no Hana

I can see how the relationship between Yuuki and Okazaki really resonated with you, see as its so similar to how you and Apollo met. It must have felt great after finally achieving the coveted chad status. ;)

Ah man good review and I understand why you want to keep it spoiler free but I would have loved it if you went into specifics scenes and how you felt about them. Like that back story chapter with the pencil art? Absolutely chilling. Also, this is just my interpretation, but I think the series is called "Happiness" because it's all about losing happiness? Turning into a vampire basically ruins everyone's life, and whatever happiness that is regained comes after accepting it, like "welp, I guess this is my life now."

The part that got me thinking was the time that when that other male vampire killed all of them and when he realized that osakazi was a new vampire he tried to kill him and after reading it i realized why he tried it it was because he did not want him to live an immortal life that will turn him into a monster like what happened to yuki

After reading most of the Manga you’ve recommended, I truly must say that Shūzō Oshimi is one of my favorites out of the bunch. The way he’s able to craft stories to a unique flavor is admirable to the full extent. Because of that, I felt it fitting to put my 2 cents in this Manga for I believe it deserves it. Also, I would like you to forgive me because I’m not the most read-up on Vampire lore so if I do get it wrong, that’s why. So unfortunately for you, this is not only gonna contain spoilers but also is going to most likely be a wall of fucking text. (and ohh boy I was right on the money with that one) Anyways, over probably 1000 words later I sadly won’t go into other characters like Nora due to the sake of length. Nevertheless, I have a small message to Gear Thrid. Still love and enjoy your content man, you may be a small channel but don’t let that take away from the quality of content you provide. Keep it up! And I’ll be sure to say hi on your Discord. Cheers!

Well considering the fact its not Vagabond either you are lying or it will be Vagabond. And you have been recommended to read it meaning I know it's not One Piece. But you said its not finished. So this might be tough to figure out.
