Type: Manga
Status: Ongoing
Premise: The royal family of demons is in a state of civil war among itself, each of the heirs are wagging a bloody war to determine the next successor to their realm. Hiro Hiyorimi is killed in a freak car accident but is resurrected as Hime's blood worrier, an undead bodyguard with amazing regenerative abilities that can continue living as long as it periodically receives blood from its master from the royal family. Now Hiro, Hime and her personal ndroid attendant Flandra must survive the the attacks of Hime's siblings with the help of several retainers they recruit along the way.
Notes: Vary much influenced by the classic monster movie genre we follow along with the main charters as they investigate things like fish men and ghost stories. The plot slowly advanced independently of the episodic style of the manga giving this entire story an old fashioned feel.
Prose: Several interesting characters a re born into this setting giving us a reason to root for them.
Cons: This manga starts off well enough but begins to drag as the issues wear on, and after a while there is virtually no plot development to speak of. Basically a decent concept ruined by a writer that doesn't want to let go.
-Notes: I have read up to chapter 63 before giving up on this one.
6.5/10 (I like the support staff better than the main character....)
