Yet another round of Rosario Vampire for me!

Are you ready for snow fairies? Yep, those are a thing! Except, this time we're away from the Academy and thrown into the world of snow fairies. This book veers off from the normal high school shenanigans, which is why I think this book wasn't as big of a hit with readers. I do like the cover and I am super intrigued with the plot line, but it is a step away from the norm. If you're okay with not following the same old formula, this book will work for you. If you're not... Well, read it to just know what's going on. Suffer through.

I really enjoyed this addition and think it will bring some more lore into the store. I'm super intrigued what the prophecy is around the snow fairies and hope we get some more action for the ladies. I'm enjoying their little heists, instead of just focusing on Tsukune.

Overall, great read! I had fun!

Time for season 2! I'm so pumped to jump back into Rosario Vampire. It is definitely one of my fave manga series.

This time around we are back for another year at the Academy. Things are looking up until Moka's sister arrives. Trouble begins brewing, fights occur and of course there's lots of drama.

My only downside to this start was that it started off goofy again. I liked the mature yet fun tone the last season had gotten into. The slightly immature start made me worry that the rest of the season will be like this. I hope it picks back off where the last season left tone wise.

I will say - this series is easy to jump into. If you haven't read the first season, don't worry! This book does a good job at giving you enough information to get going. It is beneficial to read the first season (and it's good, so honestly you should pick it up). If you haven't read the first season for a while, this also is super easy to go back into and you don't have to worry about your memory of past events.

I'm really loving this series overall. It's fun, light, and packed full of action! Sure, it gets a bit goofy and immature at times and it sexualizes women a fair amount, but it's at least entertaining.

There's a LOT more fighting in this book! I really liked how it kept my attention all the way. For a second book in the second series, it did a good job pulling the audience back in. Brava!

This book gets extra bonus points too because Tsukune isn't really in the lead anymore. He's still around and important, but the girls get to kick way more butt!

I hope the rest of the series keeps up this engaging story-telling. It's a shame they didn't make a third series... Maybe we'll get lucky!

Rosario Vampire is one of those mangas that constantly keeps me engaged and throws all sorts of fun and inviting characters at the reader.

I seriously adore this series! It is mountains full of fun and it just keeps giving us more. I didn't think I'd be this engaged continuously in a manga, but this book did it! I cannot wait to try to grab the second season once I finish through the last book of this season.

In this volume we are introduced to a whole bunch of parents. They all seems to think Tsukune is gonna be marrying their girls in no time. It's awkward, hilarious and cheesy but it worked well! Throw in another bad guy vampire (one you might not expect) and a few plot twists, and you've got yourself one fun plot! I also like how Tsukune and Moka's relationship appears to be growing even stronger! Hopefully we see a little bit of happily ever after for them soon.

Overall, this manga series is a must read in my books. It's delightfully fun! Sure, it has some immature humour but that is what gives this series its charms.
