Well this level of strawmanning and stereotyping pi$$ed me off and I'm not even an American. It's amazing how bien-pensants who think they're woke and tolerant have no problems being ferocious bigots towards fly-over country Yanks and defaming low-church Christians.

I read the first Dance in the Vampire Bund and liked it, but hadn't read the immediate prequel to this, and now I won't because this chapter was malicious garbage. Nozomu descended into pure demagoguery.

Feels much different than the first Vampire bund manga. Didn't the first mangas story take place in Japan? Why are they now in USA?

NotMAGA, Jabs at christians, refugees(?), that subtle remark the gay couple made about something that happened 2 years ago (the manga was made in 2018), FAUX NOOS, "No impurities will be left in our great america".

Holy shit, Either the author spent too much time consuming mainstream news or the translator (the individual translating this, since it's on the "no group" catagory) is having their way with injecting needless stuff. I'm just gonna assume that he/she is just having fun. Hope it won't continue this way, cuz hell, the theme here is waaaay different than the authors previous works.

I can't believe this is really Nozomu's work. I'm an American and I hear and see this shit all day every day. The last place I want to find Trump dogma is in manga. I just want some mindless entertainment.

Ignoring the cop-out of a time skip, you have to have a really deluded view of America to write shit like this. I hope it's a one off, I knew the plot point was coming. The idea of a America cracking down on the vampiric virus and chritian-fundis doing something like this wasn't a bad idea, I'd buy into that after a vampire outbreak almost destroyed Japan that that kind of response was possible. But the aping of much larger and more central politics the way it has been aped is just absurd.

Probably because Mina found out someone there was using her name to round up vampires, and didn't particularly like that.

Yeah, about that. Turns out the series that occurs between the first one and this has important context in it connecting the two. I imagine they were written and released in a particular order for a reason, but maybe I'm just crazy.

Look at that, applicable context. I can also agree that this is kind of hamfisted as an approach to that response given its real world parallels it drew on for inspiration and bent towards this story's version, though. Having said that, it's also not like this is really even out of place in the setting by now either. We also got to see the people of Japan acting pretty much the same way during the outbreak. Basically, they probably could have done almost exactly this just minus the "NotMAGA" sort of stuff like one of you called it.

Hamfistedness here aside, the author had my interest in their setting since the original Bund run. I'm pretty inclined to let this bit of the series slide if things at least start to look like they'll move past it within the next couple of chapters, get back towards the basics for a bit for starters. I'm more interested in catching up with the rest of the cast than Political Commentary the Vampire Manga Edition, for instance.

Holy shit, this islike porn for leftists. I had to read to the end to see if it was all a joke.

Drone strike a girl
"Ooh, intriguing...what's this all about?"

Camper van pulled over&checked
"?? Weird start, but i now know the vamps are getting hunted"

Hijab girl&husbando vamps pups up, clearly from a minority race in murica.
"Hmm...felt out of context, i wonder what's the message the author want to convey here...must be deep philosophical shit. But I'll bite, what next?"

MAGA hat! Oh wait it actually MAGA hats!!! (if the page is colored, i bet my left ball the hat would be a red one).
"How interesting and original! What next? Vampire lives matter?"

Checked the author's name...clearly a japanese, then why??????
Out of many setting choices, author picked the shit-tiered one. Why???is it moni???
I read manga to escape reality, I have no need of author's/the sponsor's burning-poo-filled-plate of propaganda.
They can eat it and lick the plate clean themself.
