Plot[]

Main article: List of Rosario + Vampire characters
Yokai Academy

Yokai Academy, the main setting of Rosario + Vampire

Tsukune Aono, an average teenager, is unable to get into any local high schools due to his poor grades. However, his parents are happy to have him enroll in a private school called Yokai Academy, which he discovers is a boarding school for monsters. The school teaches monsters how to coexist with humans, including disguising as them, but any real humans on campus are to be killed. Although he fears for his life, Tsukune befriends a beautiful vampire girl Moka Akashiya, who likes the taste of his blood. Fighting a school bully, he accidentally removes the rosario around Moka's neck, and discovers that she turns into a powerful vampire with a completely different personality.

Because of Moka, Tsukune decides to stay at Yokai, and becomes friends with some formerly antagonistic students, including Kurumu Kurono, a busty succubus and Yukari Sendo, an eleven-year-old witch. They join the school's Newspaper Club and wind up fighting a variety of students and teachers, who try to use their monstrous powers to bully or to control one or more of the members for their own selfish or destructive ends. On a club trip to the human world, they meet witch Ruby Tojo who tries to defend a field of sunflowers from being torn down by developers. They meet Mizore Shirayuki, a snow fairy student who stalks Tsukune. A group of "Monstrels" harass the club, causing Moka to transfuse blood into Tsukune to the point where he turns into a ghoul. An evil group called the Anti-Schoolers threaten to ruin the school's festival and destroy the barrier between the human and monster world. When Tsukune's cousin visits, the club has a hard time keeping the monster school a secret.

In Rosario+Vampire: Season II, Koko Shuzen, Moka's younger sister, enrolls; she, Ruby, and Mizore join the Newspaper Club. On an excursion to Mizore's homeland, they learn of a dangerous organization called Fairy Tale, which seeks to destroy the human world, and must fight to keep the coexistence between humanity and monsters intact. Tsukune continues to train; the News Club visits the human world where they meet San Otonashi, a former club member, as they run into trouble with Fairy Tale's 7th Branch office. A Chinese transfer student, Fangfang Huang tries to recruit Tsukune to join his mafia family. When Moka's inner personality spends a day at school, she is unable to return to the seal, so the News Club gang head to China to get the rosario fixed.

At Hong Kong, Tsukune and the gang learn the truth about Moka's identity, that she was infused with First Ancestor blood by her mother Akasha Bloodriver who sacrifices herself to protect them from Alucard, the original First Ancestor vampire. Moka's eldest sister Aqua infiltrates the Huang manor and captures Moka to bring to Fairy Tale, as she is the key to reviving Alucard. While his friends train their powers, Tsukune has his body altered by Tohofuhai to handle the upcoming challenges.

Tsukune and the gang infiltrate the Hanging Garden, a sky fortress that serves as Fairy Tale's headquarters. They face opposition from their leader Gyokuro Shuzen, who sends the leaders of the Fairy Tale Branches after them for a series of fights. The group eventually reaches Moka, but must face her sisters Aqua and Kalua. Gyokuro snatches Moka's rosario in order to control Alucard. The Masked King reveals himself to be a clone of Alucard's original vampire form. He reveals that he has manipulated both Fairy Tale and its opposition to determine whether the rosario could control him, and then merges with his monster self, who goes on a rampage in Tokyo.

Moka is mortally wounded, but Tsukune revives her by removing all his holy locks and transforming himself into a First Ancestor vampire. They beat down Alucard, but he revives and reveals that he has hatched eggs in Japan's major cities. Tsukune's friends and allies, along with the two other Dark Lords, band together to fight Alucard and his clones. Tsukune puts Moka's rosario on Alucard, which awakens Akasha inside his monster body. Akasha tells Alucard to give up the fight, and they cast a self-disintegration spell. Now that the existence of monsters is known in the human world, coexistence is now even harder to achieve, however, Tsukune is confident that he and his friends can do it.

Conception[]

Ikeda drew inspiration from the monster manga series Kaibutsu-kun and has incorporated some references later into the first serialization of the Rosario+Vampire manga. In an interview at Lucca Comics 2012, Ikeda said he is a big fan of Tim Burton and was inspired by his works, including The Nightmare Before Christmas, and particularly Edward Scissorhands because the monster has a sensitive soul. His first character design was Moka, a beautiful girl vampire with a crucifix around her neck; he then created the school of monsters and Tsukune afterwards. He credits the beautiful girls for the series' popularity and added the fighting elements. After the series ended in Monthly Shōnen Jump but was going to be featured in Jump Square, he retitled the second series to give it a sense of renewal.[5]

The anime is licensed in North America by Funimation Entertainment,[6] and released both seasons on December 20, 2011.[15][16][17][18] Funimation initially encountered production issues from the Japanese licensors, causing a series of delays with their release date. Originally intended for release on March 19, 2011, the release date was pushed back to May 17, 2011,[19] and later to July 19, 2011.[7][20] The anime is also licensed in Australia and New Zealand by Madman Entertainment, who already holds licensing rights to the manga, and will release both seasons in 2012.

Reception[]

Carlo Santos of Anime News Network gave the first volume of Season II a C rating and the second volume a B- rating.[95][96] When he gave volume 1 a C, he noted that "you could do a lot worse".[95] He notes that Season II has all the things that made the series good, but the attempt to reboot the series for the new semester caused it to lack intense feeling, reintroducing all the characters and going against weak enemies once again.[95] For the second volume, Santos was more pleased with the introduction of a major villain and the fanservice artwork in the lighter story, but lamented the lack of any visually threatening monster.[96]

Matthew Warner of Mania.com gave volumes 1 through 3 of Season II ratings between B+ and A-. In his review for volume 1, he noted that while the first part was a bit weak with "predictable and bland stories," he remarked positively on the volume's cover art and artwork in general, especially the character artwork.[97] For the second volume, he said it was better focusing on two stories and while noting the second story with Kokoa was weaker, it still "[delivers] quite a few solid laughs" and helps develop her character.[98] In his review for volume 3, he claims while it starts out slow, he really enjoyed the story with Mizore, specifically the character development and seeing the characters put aside their disagreements for a common goal: to save Mizore.[99]

Leroy Douresseaux of Comic Book Bin has given volumes of Season II an A- rating. He noted the emphases on sexual innuendo comparing it to Strawberry 100%,[100] and that series is like The Addams Family mixed with X-Men: "cool, creepy folks at a secret school where they can live and learn in a place free of the prejudice against them." In volume 11, he changes his overall view and deemed it solidly a battle manga.[101]

YALSA included Rosario + Vampire, Vol.1 in its list of the 2013 Popular Paperbacks for Young Adults under the subcategory Boarding Schools to Summer Camps: Leaving home to find yourself.[102]

Notes[]

  1. ↑ The subtitle Capu2 comes from Kapu chuu (カプッchu?, lit. "bite kiss", also "Capu chuu"), the sound Moka makes when she drinks Tsukune's blood. Ikeda, who coined the phrase, says that "kapu" is the onomatopoeia of "bite", and "chuu" is a "kiss".
