thank you for another great chapter of this excellent series, I can honestly say this is my favorite vampire manga at the moment. I love the chemistry between Doctor J, Dorothy, and Maria its especially cool to see for once Dorothy be taken aback or weirded out by someone else's behavior. Loved The Rock reference. I sincerely hope Doctor J survives this arc she seems like a really fun and entertaining character.
I already ship Doctor J and Shannon.
This chapter gives some stuff to mull over regarding the vampire hierarchy at least amongst the purebloods they have a queen she seems to be some type of godlike or prophesied figure and based on Doctor J's comments I don't think its Maria's sister though she is aware Maria's sister is a dhampir. The ulterior purpose of Doctor J's device is draw in or alert her to the presence of strong hunters, perhaps to use as future experiment material or as a means of testing the capabilities of her projects, and she seems to think there is some special significance between the weapon's activation, Maria's transformation, and the fact that both things require the blood of a saint.... Which leads to the next question since Doctor J didn't fully realize that Maria was a dhampir until she transformed and it takes the blood of a saint for her to transform... how did they know Maria's sister was a dhampir because if it was via her transforming how were they able to get her to transform without a saint's blood? So that's a question for next chapter or future arcs lol.
It also looks like Doctor J has been augmenting herself.
