Devils' Line, Volume 1 is the first in a currently running manga series that I picked up used on the cheap. It deals with the Akuma myth, where some Akuma are vampires, and they live among us. Anzai is a half-vampire, and he protects Tsukasa, a college student. He's a part of the vampire police force or something like that. See, vampires/Akuma look mostly like humans, only more disheveled and haggard, so they like to live among the humans, sometimes even getting married with humans. Blood turns them on, and sometimes they kill their husbands and wives.
It's pretty obvious early on that Tsukasa and Anzai are going to be a couple. Volume 5 is coming out in a couple of days, so the series is continuing. I did find the dialogue a little clunky; perhaps the translation of this volume isn't terrific. The cover and story drew me in, and I did enjoy it. I bought a bunch of manga this week, including the first three volumes Berserk. I read two and a half volumes of it in digital format years ago, but I thought I'd give it another chance. I'll also try to catch up with Black Butler and a few other titles.
