Volume 1 - 1st printing. Story and art by Yuna Kagesaki. Karin is a cute little girl who also happens to be a vampire...with a twist. Once a month, she experiences intense bleeding from her nose-we're talking gushers! In other words, she's a vamp with blood to spare, so rather than stealing blood from humans she actually gives her blood to them. If done right, this can be an extremely positive experience that benefits the "victim" as much as the vampire. The problem is that Karin never seems to do things right! Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 176 pages, B&W. NOTE: These are Japanese manga-style GNs and are meant to be read right-to-left. NOTE: Light and funny, Karin is the little vampire that couldn't. Imagine the comedy of The Simpsons meets Dracula. Instead of hating and hunting her human prey, she relates to them and tries to help them. Karin has really got her wires crossed. Will appeal to fans of Lenore, Vampire Game, and Vampire Princess Miyu. Cover price $9.99.
