A shame, I thought it was pretty serviceable fanservice action. The art's not bad, and the story isn't too rough for the genre its sitting in. Guess it just wasn't popular?

Also, "I'm hom(i)e" is the greatest chapter title known to man. Peak writing.

The art's also not truly great and neither is the writing. I wouldn't even say it's above average in any regard. Unfortunately, it committed the ultimate sin of being Just Good™. Even bad things stand out better than "serviceable". At least, that's my take.

I really look forward to the mangaka doing more works, though. I think they have the talent to be truly great given more experience, maybe a different editor, etc.

I really wanted to like this series, but it became pretty obvious that for whatever reason it wasn't going to commit all the way to the fanservice. Like I honestly think it should have either dropped the fanservice and focused all on the action or really gone extreme with the fanservice instead. There's people for whom fanservice is a deal breaker who'd never read this as a result, and people looking for more intense fanservice like what the darker themes imply aren't going to be satisfied.

I think the pacing is also an issue. The sushi chef fight and now the fight with these two brothers aren't nearly interesting enough to justify being as long as they were. And with the pacing getting dragged out, not much fanservice, and not particularly inventive or exciting action scenes, I can see why this series wasn't able to go the distance.

The mangaka has a ton of potential, though. I think they need to refine their art and especially their writing further, get a clearer image of what they want to depict, and then commit to it all the way. Hopefully their next manga will be a hit.

A real shame, this was basically Mato Seihei no Slave but with yuri in my book, which I was completely on board for. I feel like a stronger focus on the other main girls - probably giving each girl an arc as they join the group as opposed to introducing all at once and waiting till later - just small adjustments could've made it a really solid manga and saved it from the axe.

The fights were also great but the actual villains lack meat and were hard to take seriously - might probably help if they had made the main villains a rival vampire squad of mostly hot girls too.

Hope the author sticks with the same "yuri battle manga" angle and keep some of the character tropes that worked. Kaika is a really refreshing protagonist compared to the typical "stoic black haired girl" you often see with this character design, her teasing mischievous nature contrasting her badass side made her a really good fit for this kind of story.
