Well, it might be a little too early to bring this up, but after reading all the volumes that have been translated so far, I can't get this topic out of my head.
Basically I am wondering how the lifespan issue is going to be resolved, since at the moment, out of Hisui's entire harem, he's the one who will "die" first, due to the fact that he is a "human" - and I believe that an artificial human, dhampir, Witch and a True Ancestor definitely have a longer lifespan then a "normal human". In other words, we definitely have the effect of the Mayfly December Romance trope in this work, and while the most obvious way to "solve" this problem would be too transform Hisui into a vampire, but personally I doubt that's going to happen, since it would contradict with Hisui's "anti vampire" nature, that has been established, pretty much, from the beginning of the story. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if it's going to be revealed that his "anti vampire" nature would give Hisui some form of immortality that would work, pretty much in the opposite way that a vampire's "immortality" works - basically, rather then having his immortal life be sustained by the blood of the humans, Hisui's lifespan would be "retained" by taking the lifespan of the vampires that he destroys / try to take his blood, when he is in his "anti vampire" mode.

I doubt the witch has an increased life-span, but you do have a point. Since Rushella is obviously the main girl its pretty unbalanced. I doubt the effects of his heart aren't going to ramp up in the near future though. Sorta hard to be the perfect vampire counter as he is now.

I am pretty sure the witch, Uno Kirika, has a normal human lifespan, since they are just humans who know and were trained with magic. I am not sure on how long dhampires live, but they might just have slowed aging, as Kariya Eruru was stated to have graduated from college, but still can easily pass for a high school girl. As the artificial human, who's goal is to become as close to human as possible, Sudou Mei, might also have a normal human lifespan. Then again she could be designed to age slowly, or not age at all past a certain point. I have to wonder on Hisui, if his survival and being brought back from near or beyond death by Miraluka, if he ended up absorbing some traits of the True Ancestor Vampires, in a smaller magnitude.
As far as Rushella goes, the speculation that she is Miraluka's reincarnation fits, although if that is the case, she might also be thought of as a true daughter of Miraluka, inheriting all of her true vampire traits and powers, not as a reincarnation. Rushella seems rather weak for a true vampire, but part of that could be is that she has almost never gone all out, and she does not have all that much actual combat experience. When Rushella appeared for the first time, she made a direct bee-line for Hisui, who was similarly drawn towards Rushella, by the small of a rose, maybe the smell of a true ancestors blood. Rushella, despite being asleep for who knows how long, and has never drank the blood of anyone else, a few drops of Hisui's blood was enough to quench her thirst completely. Her coffin was in the forest, it was sitting there for a long enough time for no traces of it being left there. If it was sitting there for a length of time, it would have had to be hidden, likely by magic. I would think the only one who might hide a coffin in that location and have the contacts to have it enchanted as such would be Miraluka, and why would she do that? |

As for Mei, since her strength clearly surpasses "normal human values", I wouldn't be surprised if some of her other parameters would surpass "normal values" as well. Quote:

After all,from what I remember it hasn't been mentioned, in the novel's when Miraluka has died ... and while it has been mentioned that she had a few "children", so far it hasn't been mentioned if any one of them has been a female. Also, it's pretty reasonable that Rushella doesn't have a lot of combat experience, considering the fact that Hisui is pretty much the first person she has "met", and there is also her mysterious "amnesia", that might be the author's way of hiding her "true" abilities. But, I guess that her "experience" and "powers" are going to develop , in the future volumes and the same can be said about Hisui's "power", after all ... I doubt that hers and Hisui's life are going to keep being "peaceful", since there are definitely going to be other vampires and some other supernatural beings, who would try to target Rushella, once the information about her "location" is going to spread in the "supernatural world".

Of course, that's merely my speculation on this matter, since there are still too many "mysteries", when it comes to Hisui's and Rushella's past, for us to be able to verify this theory. Last edited by Chris38; 2013-07-31 at 04:53. |

Well, at the moment ... considering the few scenes, especially the "bloody" ones, that occurred so far, I don't think that the girls are actually willing to share...
But, of course, that might, change in the future volumes... Still, the first step required for anyone to enter a romantic relationship with Hisui is probably to help him, close the wound that has been opened in his heart, due to his foster parents "death". |

Maybe , but I think that moment was more used for comedy, rather then an actual representation of how the relationships with the girls are going to end.
After all we shouldn't forget about the victim's Hisui's feelings on this matter... |

I think that, judging from the chapter titles, he is going to introduce us to youkai in volume 4, since a Doppelganger, can be considered as one. |

At least the titles explain some of the pics.
This vol seem really interesting and I looking forward to read more about this vol. Also on the topic Rushella=Miraluka daughter it's possible but there is something that bothers me in this theory.....from what we know thanks Hiusi memories, we know that Miraluka was happy in the time she spent with him. So if she have a daughter a daughter nearby....why she never take her with them? And if she don't know that Rushella(if she was one of her children) was close...why Rushella is now free? Or maybe she was waiting the right time to make them meet? Then again, with the little information we have, everything is possible. |
