Review 55: Homemade Vampire

Art: 7
Plot: 6
Characters: 7
Sex: 8

This is basically the gay Twilight. So, for those of you who enjoy vampire romances, this is a pretty safe bet. Also, as with Twilight, the plot is extremely simple and therefore easy to follow. The only real difference here is that a) they actually have explicit sex, and b) the characters are slightly, slightly more realistic.

The art is quite nice, which is lucky. The seme does look attractive, though not really that vampirish. The uke could use some work, though... I didn't think he fit the bill.

The plot is very, very simple. The vampire moves in with his uncle (sigh, yes, there is always a catch), who is not so much his real uncle as... kinda the same age? At least, he acts like it. Anyway, they do it pretty shortly into the story. And then the seme tells the uke that he's a vampire, and they live happily ever after (both as vampires, now).

The characters are so-so, up to a point. The scene in the kitchen really brings out the best in them, in my opinion. If that scene hadn't dissolved into a lust-filled orgy, at least. But it was quite cute before that. The real problem with these characters is that they don't seem to have distinguishable personalities. They're just dolls that are being used to act out sex.

Speaking of which, the sex isn't really all that bad. The only problem is that, not having any connection to the characters, one doesn't feel particularly involved in the matter. It's rather like a cheap erotica. Very little substance.

All in all, 28/40. Hrrrrrm.

Recommendation: do the words 'Gay Twilight' mean anything to you?
