He's My Only Vampire 10 by Aya Shouoto
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Wow, that's a messed up family tree if there ever was one. The ending is both positive and yet ambiguous at the same time. Just why is it that Kana and Aki have to keep moving and no one knew they were alive for so long? Did Eriya really cease to exist and that's why it seems like Aki now has all 7 stigmas? Does Kana realize her relationship to the angels at all or is she still in the dark about that and just living as Aki's thrall now? So many questions still, but it does seem as if they are at least happy together and everyone else is settling into their new lives without the stigmas.

He's My Only Vampire 9
He's My Only Vampire 9 by Aya Shouoto
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
The final stigma finally appears, and of course it's on Kana. On the plus side, Aki now has his memories back, and it seems all but confirmed that Kana somehow plays this unique role 4 times over - thrall twice over, half-angel (not sure on the official designation here), and now stigma wielder. There's a rather amusing short story at the end of this book with a Halloween party put on by the school that doesn't appear to really fit the timeline but is just a fun extra. It seems the mysteries are beginning to unravel.

We learn more about the angels in this installment and how they came to possess one of the stigmas. At the same time, we start to see Eriya's darker side and the revelation that Kana is not just Aki's thrall, but somehow also Eriya's as well. It's no wonder then that she constantly feels pulled in multiple directions. With Miyajima's request to know about his sister, can't help but think Kana will be playing a part there as well, which would be rather convenient given her history with the convent and the cross she wore previously.

Eriya joins the stage at starts going to school with Aki and Kana. Aki still doesn't have all of his memories though, resulting in a very awkward triangle between the three of them and debates over who makes the best couple with whom. While Eriya seems very charismatic, there is something that seems to be very off with the convenient timing and this new appearance.

Just when it seems like things are starting to come together, Aki giving up the lust stigma to get Kana back results in him losing all memory of her. Can't say this new cold and uncaring Aki is anything great, though can see how that could add to the "chaos" as Eve and her Dealer indicate to hopefully locate the sixth stigma. Can't help but wonder if the emperor is somehow actually Eriya given the devotion to him and everyone talking about how frail he is and can't be seen while no one seems to know where Eriya is.

Slowly getting more pieces of Eriya, Aki, and Kana's childhood together. It's hinted that Kana may already belong to Eriya, but he clearly had a very different childhood from Aki. If they are twins and both born with stigmas, why was Eriya cherished and Aki considered a demon to be hidden away? Even from this early age, it seems like Kana gets torn between the two to a degree as she's the only one who gets along with Aki or is willing to try and make him happy at all and not just focus on Eriya. Now back to the forest where their story started and Kana back in the hands of those who raised the twins.

Seems there might be something else going on with Kana given the way the angel's sword reacts to her. Then there's the commentary that she continually feels like this new thrall power is tearing her apart on the inside.... but is it only because of the power level or something else going on? Looks like 4 of the 7 stigma's have been found, with Aki collecting 3 of them and Jin still holding onto his for the moment. Plus a side of cross dressing with the drama clubs performance that throws everyone for a loop, including some ad-lib. Aki is certainly still dangerous, but he shows more than a few signs of compassion too, especially when you add Kana into the mix.

Can't say Aki's "relatives" are anything great. If anything, they seem rather twisted. We finally got some answers regarding the student council though with the introduction of angels. What exactly is this "true power" of a thrall though and the changes going on with Kana? Now they have to deal with these angels as well before they can continue on with Aki's quest if they're to save Eriya. Jin seems to mostly be loyal to Kana at this point, but that results in helping out Aki most of the time.

Kana is still a bit naïve, but we finally see her brother out of his room and slowly seem to be gaining new pieces to the story and each of these characters. This installment leaves off with another cliffhanger introducing a new character once more - this time the nemesis/fiancé. There seems to be something up with the stupid council as well given their intel and how involved they seem to be under the radar. Hopefully at least having this club formed will get the council off Kana's back even if the boys don't particularly care about school requirements.

It's been awhile since I picked up a new vampire series. Saw this one at Kinokuniya during a business trip last year and remembered it as one I was interested in when I came across it again this summer. Kana seems rather naïve and clueless, but seems to honestly mean well. Aki is a bit harder to read, but seems to at least care about Kana and Eriya, even if he's hiding it behind all of this bad boy persona and whatever his claims of world domination are about. Not sure what to think about The Dealer. Originally thought this was another thrall, but would seem not. This may be one that joins the bookshelf so I can finish the series.
