Summary: ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!
Review: And I mean it! This manga has a wonderful story line, great art, and amazing character! The cover art is wonderful as well, that's drew me to it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely the best manga
Review: At first i was kinda iffy on buying it, from reading the description from tokyopop but then i saw the comedy part (my fav) and decided to pick it up, I am SO glad I did! It is my favorite manga to date and the art is wonderful! Ishtar isn't your normal 'damsal in distress' princess and adding Duzell, The Vampire King reincarnated as a kitty is even more fun! I want Istar and Duzell to get together ^_~ I love this manga so much I bought the 13 japanese volumes already and I can't wait for 14! I hope Tokyopop or some other company translates Judals other work Carbuncle (also Night Eyes but I want Carbuncle more ^.^ kawaii griffin in it, Night Eyes has demon kitties! both would rock!)! I already sent in a suggestion to Tokyopop ^^v if you loved Vampire Game as much as I then do so now as well! Long live Judal!

Summary: Can I adopt Duzie?
Review: I am a little reluctant to shell out 10 dollars for any manga, but this book was worth every penny. It has all the elements that make a great manga: a cute pet, drool-worthy guys, and just the right amount of shounen ai. The story line about vampires is interesting and comical, and Duzell is very, very pretty (and -in my opinion- perfect for Ishtar.) If you can only afford to buy one comic, buy THIS one! I mean, what could be better than a story revolving around a cute little neko?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tokyopop brings us another winner!
Review: Magic, vampires, cuteness, comedy, shape-shifting, a touch of shounen-ai, and really cool hair -- "Vampire Game," a shoujo manga by Judal. I could just tell you "THIS MANGA ROCKS!!! BUY IT NOWWWW!!!!," and end the review right here, but I won't do that. Some of you may want a more well-rounded synopsis. I'll try to go into a little more detail:

Long ago in the land of Pheliosta, there was a titanic battle between the good king Phelios and Duzell, the Vampire King. By battle's end both rulers were mortally wounded, and before they died Duzell promised that in a hundred years both their souls would be reincarnated. When that time came, the Vampire King would exact his revenge on the one that slew him . . .

Well, it's a century later, and Duzell's back -- in the form of an adorable, fuzzy, big-eyed wildcat cub. Hardly the proper guise for the Fearsome Lord Of All Vampires. Now he has to figure out how to track Phelios' incarnation, and how to kill him. And when he's adopted by Ishtar, the great-granddaughter of his old enemy, the madness ensues.

I bought "Vampire Game" on a whim, and I was surprised at how entertaining it turned out to be. The art's cute. The plot's certainly original; who would've expected the Vampire King to return to battle as a mewling kitten? I didn't, and I'll bet Duzell didn't either. The characterization is solid, from Duzell's grim resignation to his fate, to moody Ishtar's self-indulgent contempt for . . . well, EVERYTHING, to royal guardsman Darres' longsuffering at the hands of Ishtar, with whom he's charged to keep out of trouble. Certain characters and situations leave openings for some intriguing back-story (such as one character's rumored dismissal from an old position due to a "questionable" love affair), and by the end you're already drooling for the next installment.

I don't think Judal, the author/artist, is very well-known here in the states, but she deserves recognition for a manga that's already showing great promise with just the first volume. Show her your support by buying this graphic novel! Show publisher Tokyopop your support too; if they know we're buying 'em, they'll keep on translating 'em.

Can I say it now?

THIS MANGA ROCKS!!! BUY IT NOWWWW!!!!

Summary: Loved It
Review: This book is fun. Fruit juice sucking kitten is the reincarnation of the Vampire King :) The plot so far, King Phelios defeated Vampire King Duzell using a spell that killed them both. King Phelios is of course revered as a Saint by all except the Princess (his great-grandaughter) who says she would gladly kill King Phelios' reincarnation with a spoon :). Enter the kitten Duzzy(Duzell), the princess decides to help her cat Duzzy find King Phelios' reincarnation and kill him. Unfortunately she is not very helpful. The questions swirling in my mind are why did Duzell want to come back? He started the war with the humans because he was sick of living without love. So if he wanted to die I don't get why he was so mad when he got his wish, should be interesting to find out why? When will he shapeshift into some thing besides a male princess? She really doesn't like that, finds it upsetting to see her face on a naked guy. Note:Duzzy can only shape shift into those he has gotten blood from and he can't change sex.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME!!
Review: This book was one of the best manga's I have ever read! Between the blood thirsty, cute fuzzy kitten, and Ishtar's ever so spoiled behavior, the laughs never end! I'd recommend this for anyone!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome Manga
Review: This is my absolute favorite manga!!! At first I was a little wary about buying it; I'm not really into vampires. But I bought it on a whim anyway. I couldn't stop reading- I couldn't stop laughing either. ^_^ Duzie, the vampire-reincarnated-as-a-cat, is hilarious. Princess Ishtar is fun too, with her carefree-lets-wreck-havoc-on-the-palace attitude. This manga is definitely worth the buy (the next two are as well!). After reading it all in one go, I just had to go get the next two!
*runs off to buy volume 4*

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Totally worth your time
Review: This manga is terrific! Plenty of humor, romance possiblities, and pretty boys. lol.

And for the shounen ai lover, there are a few hints (and sometimes more). But there is also het romance.

I definatly suggest everyone try this manga.
