Blood Lad, Vol. 1 (Blood Lad, 1) Paperback – Illustrated, December 11, 2012

I watched the anime first and I really, really enjoyed it. So that's why I decided to start collecting these omnibuses. So far, from what I've read, the anime seems to cover the first 3 omnibuses (Chapters 1-30) panel by panel. If you were to just continue from 10th episode of the anime, you should pick up the 4th omnibus (Chapters 31-40), I'm pretty sure nothing important will be missed by skipping ahead. Also, if you want to collect the series, keep in mind that there are 9 English release volumes in total:- 8 omnibuses, each containing 2 Japanese release volumes. [Blood Lad volumes 1-8]- 1 individual volume. [Blood Lad volume 9]Overall, the art style is really cool, and the story and setting is really unique. There's sure to be laughs along the way too. Give this manga a try!

I don't remember exactly why, but while I was house sitting for a friend of mine away on vacation, I went out on the internet to find a new manga to read and somehow came across this: A story about a vampire who isn't really interested in being one and spends his days playing video games and obsessing over Japanese media.As I appeared to have uncanny similarities with the main character, I decided to pick up a copy of volume 1.I'm really happy I did. This series is funny and doesn't take itself too seriously, I can read it without feeling like I'm on the verge of tears and enjoy it early in the morning when I don't want to think too hard.The cast is charming, taking hints from different storybook tales of classic horror. The art style reminds me a bit of Bleach and there's a fair amount of fanservice, but it's worth it to watch Staz tear people to shreds.

Here is my first manga I have already received. Well, the quality is really good. I hope I will buy another manga.

Arrived in good condition, right on time. The story itself is very good. I couldn't help but laugh in quite a few parts The art style is great, love it. The size of the book is is that of two regular manga, about 400 pages so you're basically reading 2 books with this one. All in all, a good by and I loved it. I'd recommend it.

i love the book, it`s just the when i opened it the book was upside down, and no i wasn't holding upside down. i`m a bit annoying but it`s no big deal. overall it`s great and i love the series

This manga was better than I expected it to be. I really loved the story and it has some really funny moments too. I would really recommend this manga two people who like comedy and action.

When i was at the Yen Press Panel at Sakuracon they I got volume 2 for free so I had to bu vol 1. This is a really fun series. It's funny that the main charachter Staz is an Otaku. I really like the series so far and I'm looking forward to the upcoming anime.

I bought Blood Lad because the description made it look interesting...and it was! I loved it! Staz is awesome and kinda reminds me of Rin Okumura from Blue Exorcist! I was surprised that the manga was so big when I got it so it's definitely worth the money! You get 10 chapters for a total of 352 pages! I can't wait until the second volume comes! Also, the anime of Blood Lad should be coming out this year!
