Otaku Vampire's Love Bite (Vol. 1) - Julietta Suzuki

Otaku Vampire’s Love Bite Vol. 1 is the hilariously offbeat and endearingly sweet first volume of Julietta Suzuki’s newest romantic comedy manga. Known for her work on Kamisama Kiss, Suzuki returns with a fresh, funny twist on the vampire genre.

Meet Ichika, a hardcore otaku who’s more into her favorite anime characters than real life. Her cozy life of fandom takes a wild turn when she meets Al, a vampire with very unusual tastes—he can only drink the blood of fellow nerds! When Al’s path crosses with Ichika’s, a strange relationship begins: one part fang, one part blush, and a whole lot of awkward romantic tension.

With expressive art, witty humor, and an odd-couple dynamic, this manga explores how two outcasts slowly begin to understand—and maybe even love—each other in the most unconventional of ways.
