Manga Review: Rosen Blood, Vol. 1

Stella wakes up in a mansion with four beautiful and mysterious residents - Levi, Friedrich, Yoel, and Gilbert. What secrets are they hiding?

It's no secret to us readers that this is a vampire manga. Being a vampire manga and a reverse harem at that may be its charm but it is also its downfall. There's already a preconceived notion of us what to expect in the story thanks to Diabolik Lovers and Vampire Knight and other vampire media for that matter. But then again, I don't mind being proven wrong. And even with that notion, I have signed up precisely for that notion.

Based on the mangaka's art on Twitter, I was also under the impression it's going to be more mature but it is surprisingly sweet with hints of naughtiness. Think Diabolik Lover but asking for consent from her. Still, it may be too early for that. It felt like an introduction book though which it is after all and the things we are expecting I mean story proper will start in the next volume. The ending has a very and I mean very promising premise. Meanwhile, the vibe of the setting feels like gothic Beauty and the Beast.

My only issue with the story is how easily she accepted what happened to her and adjusted her role in their lives. The same abruptness can also be applied to Levi and Stella's banters but on the contrary, theirs has a charm that was unexpected. I live for Levi's blushing serious face. Friedrich can be fun too. Yoel is beautiful. And well Gilbert is scary but there's something more behind it. Levi is my favorite character for now but I am still open to changing my capricious mind with all these guys. It is safe to say that it is looking like four flowers or all into her (see Levels of Reverse Harem) and as the cover shows this volume is Levi's. The next volume covers are in this order: Friedrich's, Yoel's, and then Gilbert's. The manga will end on its fifth volume and I'm looking forward to the cover reveal.

Thanks to patrons K and Yoli for making this purchase available. First time to read in print in ages! The ebook is not available for this manga so I have to wait for this to be shipped which took like three or four months to my country and well life happened and here we are. There's something about the glossy cover that makes Levi so mesmerizing. I liked all the character designs but I'm particularly looking forward to seeing Yoel's soft and ethereal looks on the glossy cover. Now dear wallflowers should we review the next volume? Please also consider supporting on Patreon to purchase and review more reverse harem media.

How did you find the manga? Please share in the comment section below. For other vampire-themed reverse harem, I recommend Black Rose Alice but it is on the other 'blog'. You can also click on the tag for more titles.

If you’d like to help me keep exploring new titles, you can support me through Patreon or Ko-fi . E very bit means so much! This is Part 2 of 4 of Reverse Harem Garden 18th birthday series .

Winter Reverse Harem Dramas 2021 Reviews Part 1: Fling at Convenience Store, No Going Back Romance, Life of Namjoo, 3B No Koibito, Mairunovich & Girl2k

This is the record-breaking number of dramas in one season! Nine reverse harem dramas not including 300 Year-Old Class of 2020 which seems like a promotional show? I can't see myself doing one review at a time. It's going to take me forever so I'll review them in one go. I have yet to finish cdramas: Celestial Authority Academy, In Love With Your Dimples and Unique Lady/Lascivious Lady Season 2. Those are 20+ episodes each. It's also hard to rank them as they have different formats but I've grouped them according to country of origin. Some are super short whilst others are just right. There were some that I loved but the ending left me sad. And there was one or maybe two that are not a reverse harem! Reverse harem baiting!!! asdfjisojgjrjgk And there's one drama where the heroine didn't choose anyone! Now, now...not gonna tell which drama was that. *evil laugh* kdramas Coincidentally, all these dramas are short and didn't disappoint. Okay, there'...

All-Time Top Ten Reverse Harem Anime

Hello Wallflowers! I am not going to do a decade in review since I did that already a couple of years ago. but I am loooong overdue for my top 10 anime. I actually made one coincidentally a decade ago but it's a consolidated top 10 of everything from anime, manga and dramas as the titles are fewer back in 2010. I should have done it sooner but it's the nagging feeling that I should finish everything before I can post this. What if there's a hidden gem in my backlog that piled up beginning 2015 (due to pregnancy)? Fast forward to last year and major life events later, I have finished nine anime in eight months. It felt like forever. And after that, I found out I could actually start the list even without watching the backlog. LOL But the good thing is I was able to finish it and that has put off a lot of guilt feelings from me. I mean who blogs about reverse harem and never watches past the first episode??? Sadly, I don't remember most of the story of the anime...

💎18 Gems: Reverse Harem Reads That Shaped Me from 2007-2019 (Manhwa, Manga & Novels)

Hello wallflowers! This is Ayreesa. These 18 titles span 2007–2019 , my ultimate scanlation era . I didn't include series that already have anime adaptations and focused on stories I’ve finished or followed through many volumes. They are arranged in the order I read them. If you are new to reverse harem, treat these as hidden gems of reverse harem, but be warned that some tropes may feel dated or problematic today. This is Part 1 of 4 of Reverse Harem Garden 18th birthday series . In the Philippines, a debut ball includes dancing with 18 boys who each offer a rose—known as the 18 Roses—and receiving 18 candles and messages from girls. Some even add their own twist with 18 gifts, 18 bills, or even 18 shoes… you get the idea. Some are kinda reverse harem. See Levels of Reverse Harem.

English Otome Mobile Apps

English otome apps are now available in smartphones! The art and the bishies are eye candy and the premises are engaging. These are all paid apps but they all come with free prologues to tempt your wallets. Finally, English games that are accessible! I wish I can just pay it in my local currency rather than credit card. "Pirates in Love" is the first title of Voltage Romance Sims. It's available both in itunes and play. You'll have to pay for each characters and epilogues. I really want to play Eduardo! "My Forged Wedding" is also from Voltage and are also available in itunes and play . The prologue doesn't give away the details as to why exactly they need to fake the wedding but check out the video above to have an idea why. I'm gravitating to Saeki (the ladies man) and Yamato (the rude guy). Also, the "uncle" seems to be play-able character in the future. Interesting. ...

Levels of Reverse Harem

The video above is Levels of Reverse Harem version 2 (also posted here ) Reverse Harem titles were very limited when I first started the blog eleven years ago. I was flexible with many titles where it's only one or two guys interested in the female protagonist and other gray areas. But we are now at a point where I can be strict with labeling reverse harem. Let's start with the classification of reverse harem-ness. This is for my sake too if in case I run off course again. 1. Five Flowers - This is literally reverse harem. The heroine has a harem of her own in her inner chamber. And we only have one example for this, manga and drama, Ooku. UPDATE: Please check STAGES OF REVERSE HAREM for more examples.

Webtoon Reviews: A Whirlwind Campus Affair, The Kiss Bet, and My Clueless Love Diary

I’m excited to share the mini-impressions and mini-reviews I first posted in the Patreon newsletter making their public debut as part of 18 Treasures : Favorite Reverse Harem Reads of the 2020s~ Manga, Manhwa, Webtoons & Novels of the Reverse Harem Garden 18th Birthday Series . A Whirlwind Campus Affair manhwa on Webtoons Rumor has it that Baram Oh had an affair with her married art school professor. It’s been four years since that debacle, and now she’s back at campus to try and enjoy her college life. But she’s not the only thing who’s returned: there’s rumors of a water ghost roaming the halls, and it just might be following her around. June 2, 2023 Baram returns to art school after a scandal. It's addicting, cute, funny, and I finished all season 1 in two days, and I want moooooore! I love the pink 'fits of the Baram Oh. At first, I wasn't sure who to root for as all the guys are on equal footing at the start, but as the story goes along, I know where my heart...
