I thought this would be a decent silly anime to just laugh at and enjoy the ridiculousness of it all and thats what my review originally said. But oh my goodness I think this anime is going to drive me insane Let me explain. So Ruka is a vampire dude that has a destined partner that has to be a girl. Then theres Strawberry Dumbcake aka Mito who is a girl but shes pretending to be a boy. So Ruka likes Strawberry Dumbcake but he thinks its forbidden because he thinks shes a boy. And shes like oh Im not Rukas destined partner And so theres this whole ridiculous thing of them being one for each other but Strawberry Dumbcake not revealing it leaving Ruka thinking hes falling in love with someone else. This goes on for the majority of the story and its very frustrating RIP. Also why did she become a man what. My brain cant comprehend this anymore. This would be better if it were a BL. Oh and my friend just told me she loses her memory so bleh to that. But then get this so an impostor is pretending to be Strawberry Dumbcake for Ruka to like and they end up in a dumb situation where impostor and Dumbcakes lives are at risk. And Ruka has to choose his life to save and he chooses the Impostor and not his longtime friend Oh my gosh. This almost made me drop it but I am going to continue through since Im nearly done. I liked Ruka up until this point because he was stupid funny and caring but that got ruined. Originally I thought Strawberry Dumbcake should just end up with the typical Cold Duke of the North Ren but then I found out he was terrible too. So just in general this is a terrible romance boooooo. The point Im trying to make is if youre not wanting to watch dumb characters and a pretty bad romance I wouldnt recommend this. Im a big fan of vampire romances my middle school years of loving Twilight did that to my brain. However what is this romance its so frustrating Lol. This could have been good if it just stuck to being silly and a dumb shoujo with all the stereotypes but then when the male lead who Im supposed to root for does something like that and he was one of the only parts of the anime I genuinely liked but now dont it kinda ruins it. I glanced at the manga too it doesnt get much better RIP. Animation and sound are mediocre. Nothing bad but nothing that really wowed me. However I do really like the opening and the dancing scene in it so I do have to mention that. Sometimes dumb shoujos can be really good as theyre just fun to laugh at and enjoy and thats the math this was heading down but then the romance took a turn for the worse RIP. Id suggest this if you dont mind all this stuff I described going on but aside from that this isnt really a quality shoujo romance or at least thats what I think. Im dropping this. My solution is to put my dog in the anime and have her be the main character instead. Imagine a big German Shepherd just living her amazing life and biting all the stupid vampires as if they were her chew toys. I think thatd be perfect. Oh and shed get superpowers because shes awesome.
