Rosario + Vampire (Vol. 1) - Akihisa Ikeda

Welcome to Yokai Academy… Where Monsters Go to School

In Rosario + Vampire Vol. 1, average teenager Tsukune Aono flunks his high school entrance exams—until he stumbles upon Yokai Academy, a mysterious school that accepts him without question. There's just one catch: all the students are monsters in disguise, and if they find out he's human, he’s dead meat.

Things take a sharp turn when he meets Moka Akashiya, a beautiful vampire who’s sweet, bubbly… and totally obsessed with his blood. But beneath her charm lies a darker, more dangerous side—unleashed when her rosary is removed.
