When I first read it, the first novel that came to mind was Campione. There isn't the mythology, but they just feel similar. With that being said, the Campione fights are more tactical than the ones in Strike the Blood.

still, I'm a bit surprised Akatsuki doesn't need to feed regularly as normal lore for vampires do as well as constantly biting them will spread the vampirism disease or some things like that (buut pretty sure the girls WOULD like it if he did indulge in them despite its like him giving them a love bite)
IRL legends to be so, wasn't the first progenitor Vlad III? I never did pay attention to lore but I think I remember something that as he became Dracula, he still can move around like a normal human being despite being in the sun and has full access to every power without necking some poor girl.

Isn't Vlad label as dracula because he dine in front of the people he killed by putting them into a spike? (or how to word the thing his been doing)
He doesn't drink blood? his an ancestor/true type? the one that is not been turned but naturally turned into one.

Yes, he is ancestor type (the 4th one). He inherited it. |

I mean he doesn't need to feed every day like a normal person eating food. like whsie said he just cant do such a thing as necking someone. wait... what if he IS to neck the girls that were meant to power up his kenjuu as normal food? the primogenitor here IMO is similar to the origin's own stats of a true ancestor. the usual thing for a vampire to become a vampire is: >neck an individual >wait for the antigens to kick inside individual >individual shows signs of vampirism >full vampire but still I believe that normal vampires need to constantly feed except for our guy and his fellow primogenitors. I like to speculate that he's a hybrid since I think he wasn't bitten to become a vampire he is now but instead something had to happen for his predecessor to transfer that power.

I just read the manga of what's transalated and it left me frustrated. They stop at the good part. Chapter 10 a cliffhanger.
Yes, I can that it reminds one of campione but campione kiss in the lips, here kiss in the neck. In vampire, the act of drinking blood can be also called a kiss. GRUAAAA!! what happen! need more info. its interesting that's for sure and unlike campione where the people are scared shitless of the campione. here the human have guts to attack them. And I like it that way.

The manga is based off the Light Novel, but it only has Chapter 1 of Volume 1 translated. There's going to be an anime coming out in the fall 2013 lineup, but it probably just be the generic 12-episode thing.
But if the anime gains a popularity, then some people will become interested in the Light Novel and try to translate it.

I did search for the raws of the manga and novel after reading what's translated. And so far it looks good but his strength as an ancestor is unstable if you ask me. Sure the kenjuu are strong but it looks like the human's create magic/weapons to counter them which is good. Its stupid if one just take the facts as facts just like in Campione.

The MC is only challenged to the extent that he is because he doesn't have enough beasts under his control. In some ways, the MC can make the readers badly underrate how strong Primogenitors truly are because of his inexperience (he struggles with almost every fight). If he has all 12 beasts, the real only competition would be his other 3 peers. |

I'm sorry for that obvious question, but I just had to be sure. I originally thought it was his predecessor and I rarely see the main character in a suit. Clothes do make the man and all. More like Cyber Maid. By the way, it's obvious that his harem count rising smoothly, but I also like to judge the worth of our protagonist by the size of his male support staff. What would Batman be without Robin? Raizel without Frankenstein? Touma without Tsuchimikado? So does he have any? I recall a promising stoogie back in volume 1 that got creamed by Yukina.
