Speaking of love field, does it develop? Or is it "I know that I do deep down but I can't/won't admit to it" lingo?
I don't need details, just hoping that there's actual depth/progression to it. A yes or no will suffice.

No. First question No. Second one No. The new girl in town is introduced, there's the initial inside info about her personal life, what will embarrass her most, her envy against Karin is established, and she just wants to outperform her. |

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:
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. |

So, today being the last Friday of the month I received my new copy of Previews. (For those who don't know, Previews is like a giant catalogue comic stores get that shows soliciations of material coming out two months in advance). Rarely does much surprise me in the Previews (I usually have my manga purchases mapped out three or four months in advance and I even usually have US comics planned two or so months in advance. Today I was looking through the Tokyopop section, and guess what I found?
That's right the Chibi Vampire novel vol 1, coming in December! The Amazon link (though it doesn't have cover art). I imagine it'll be in the Love Hina novel style dress (similar to a manga) as opposed to the Scrapped Princess style (more like a novel).

Interesting the manga variant of this story versus what happened with the anime.
I saw one and two yesterday in the Barnes & Noble near where I work and had to take a look, it is done pretty well from what I can tell and YES, as another poster noted - there's a LOT of ink (this is a series where the black ink/white paper format works exceedingly well from a artistic viewpoint). The variations of the story will make for more interesting possibilities. Oh, and for those much farther along in the manga: do we get a bit more about Usui and Fumio's earlier life? Spoiler:

This is the cover for Volume 10, which was released about a month ago. Thankfully, I already have gotten volume 10 on my hands. Quote:
This volume consists of chapters 40 to 42 plus two side-stories; one of which tells how the vampires reached Japan. But I got some questions. Spoiler:
After seeing the side-story chapter now I get why Elda literally clings to Ren and never lets him go off. |

I thought there was some subtle "wtf?" in his remarks about the overseas title translation of his manga. He's grateful that foreign fans like his work but .... "chibi vampire"??? I should write him and tell him that his American fans are quite aware of what the title *should* be and we're annoyed about the change.

Normally, yes, Yuna is a girl's name...but japanese script doesn't often illuminate the sex of the author and frankly I rarely check or care since "everyone's a dog on the Internet"(tm). I'll take your word for it that the mangaka's female until I see a picture otherwise
