I decided to try reading this
The first chapter is good. I just have a bit of a problem with a lolicon MC and a fake loli heroine. I'll still read it, though, since the premise is interesting. Anyone have thoughts about why Chloe's body isn't aging, though? Maybe it's got something to do with her Spirit Medium aspect.

That's a good assessment, maybe it is her "ideal gene" - I read elsewhere that our "Arkham Bullet" guy may not be all that he seems. Let's see how it turns out! Fingers are still crossed for a R+V cameo!!

Speaking of R+V, I actually hope for a sequel where we see Tsukune's dream of monsters and humans living together in peace fulfilled. Since it wasn't fulfilled in R+V II in the end and we just got awakened Shinso Tsukune and Moka. Maybe Tsukune's child (or one of his children) with Moka or one of his/her descendants will manage to accomplish it.
Kai is a lolicon so the worry of Chloe remaining as a fake loli throughout the entire series is there. Unless he can also love and appreciate her if she gets an adult body, her body will never mature. It's sad, but something we may have to live with if we read this manga.

Kai's infatuation with Chloe as a cute girl seems to be more of a gag than a serious point - not sure if we should even consider a romantic arc just yet.

I think romance being developed between the two is very likely since they're the main characters. And as you said in the OP, they're similar to Tsukune and Moka with how Kai needs her body/soul and Moka needed Tsukune's blood.
I do hope Kai's infatuation with her as a cute girl is just a gag, as you said, though. Would be best IMO. But we'll see, I guess.

In the end I am curious to see how this goes. Pretty solid opening leap into the story. And honestly don't even mind the loli thing since it is something that's troubled her as a character. It is part of what makes her the person she is. Heck, seeing her develop as a character and rise up in some way to fame despite her situation would make for an interesting part of the story.
Also, despite it being from the Rosario + Vampire creator, I can also treat this as a Soul Eater spinoff .

She does look young enough that you wouldn't believe she's already 28, and in addition to that Kai also thought she was a loli.
@FlareKnight: I would still prefer it if her body would mature somehow. I'll still read it even if doesn't, though, since I like the story and the premise like I said before.

No idea.
Chapter 3, holy crap this manga evokes the style of R+V so well. To see Arkham Bullet's Bureau is like a taste of good ol' Youkai Academy. Spoiler for ALSO HOLY CRAP:
Good to know the art quality hasn't dropped a single iota... You all may know me as the crazy Rosario + Vampire dude but man... could you imagine Rosario + Vampire in this refined style? Golly gee. Fingers crossed for this manga, definitely liking it so far.
