Cruel Alpha's Fated Luna

I read Pathos some time ago, but I've decided to write a review because it's an excellent yaoi manga. If you're into vampire stories with a touch of BL, you might enjoy this manga just as much as I did. The series consists of two volumes and includes two extra chapters. The plot revolves around a boy named Ace who resides with two vampires, King and Jay, who adopted him when he was young. Since discovering their true nature, Ace has longed to become a vampire himself, desiring eternal life like Jay, for whom he harbors deep feelings. Jay, who appears to have a strong craving for Ace's blood, promises to turn Ace into a vampire on his 18th birthday, immediately after he comes back from boarding school. (I won't spoil what happens next :P) All I can say is that the storyline is captivating and draws you in completely (haha). There are numerous H scenes, which is great, but there's also significant emphasis on blood and fangs (though it isn't gory!). I thoroughly enjoyed this manga, and if you appreciate lengthy stories spanning multiple volumes (only two here), you'll likely enjoy it too! <p>

I just finished reading this manga, and it was truly fantastic. I’m not exaggerating—it genuinely entertained me.

Story: 8  
The plot revolves around Ace, a human raised by two vampires, King and Jay. Over time, Ace develops strong feelings for Jay, but Jay doesn’t seem to reciprocate—or perhaps he pretends not to feel the same way. The narrative explores their journey as they eventually become lovers. I won’t spoil any details, so I’ll leave the specifics of how it unfolds for you to discover. What I appreciated about the story is its uniqueness. I’ve never come across a yaoi manga involving vampires before, which made it particularly appealing to me.

Art: 9  
I absolutely adore this artist's style. I’ve read all of their works and have thoroughly enjoyed every single one. The artwork is both beautiful and realistic, setting it apart from other yaoi mangas where you can instantly tell who’s the seme and who’s the uke. Here, that distinction isn’t immediately obvious, adding an intriguing layer to the visual experience.

Character: 7  
While there aren’t many characters in the manga, each one stands out as unique. However, I found the lack of character development somewhat disappointing. Given that they’re vampires, it makes sense that significant changes might be limited, but I still wished for more depth. Despite this, each character has their own charm and individuality.

Enjoyment: 9  
I was thoroughly engaged with the story from start to finish. There wasn’t a dull moment; something always kept me hooked until the very last page. It was incredibly enjoyable, and anyone who reads it is sure to appreciate it.

Overall: 9  

If you enjoy yaoi, this is definitely worth your time. It boasts an engaging plot and stunning art. Although some scenes may be explicit, the overall quality of the manga remains exceptional. Trust me—you need to give this a try! :)

I don't know if this irks anyone else, but around chp 970+ pop-up random sentences about a fish named wang and a phone which aren't a part of the story and are added multiple times in each chapter.
