Exactly !!! I’ve been thinking about this for a while too. Feels weird that the writter wrote their relationship like that, it feels more like friendship than an actual lover. I always feel a bit sad every think thoru gets rejected.
Also kobayashi boobs jumpscare.
So in the end we never get to know how he got the half-vampire power or why half-vampire power made him stronger than real vampire… Kinda sucks since i think it really killed this manga for me.
