Time to update this nearly forgotten thread. Volume nine came out yesterday just five months later after the previous tankoubon.
There are quite a couple of surprises prepared for the readers in this volume.
Spoiler:
Chapter 36 ~Confession~: Valentine's Day is approaching or has come. Karin and Kenta spend the late afternoon and early night at a fair, unnoticed by both that Anju's spying upon them. Meanwhile, Karin's trying to gather strength to tell something important to Kenta.
Chapter 37 ~Beginners~: The new girl will do anything to settle the score on Karin, proving that she's more capable. Interestingly, she has caught vibes from Anju's spy bat.
On a bad timing, she busts Karin and Kenta apparently hugging but, in fact, Karin's blood is increasing so Kenta was covering her up. Unfortunately, Karin can no longer hold it back and nosebleeds on the new girl.
Chapter 38 ~Scheme~: Anju reported to Henry that Karin's nosebleed secret was accidentally found out by the new girl. So as to take safety caution, they prepare to erase her memory only to find out an astonishing discovery.......
I had my suspicions about the new girl character through careful observation of her introvert nature, her solitude, and her fashion sense only to be surprised that Yuna-sama revealed she's also a vampire.
I'm not sure if she's a full-fledged vampire, a blood-maker like Karin, a daywalker, or maybe even a dhampir though.
Chapter 39 ~Identity~: The Maaka family quickly take action and kidnap said girl only to have her
batcuffed and jailed in their manor. The family does the impossible to prevent Karin from finding out that they're keeping that girl as hostage.
A malicious and naughty storm brews around the Maaka family as a another new character makes his entrance.
Cover for volume three.
Scheduled for release on December 12th.
TokyoPoP will be releasing one volume of Chibi Vampire every four months so as to give time for the manga releases to go further ahead.
