Title: Vassalord [ヴァッサロード] Author/Artist: Nanae Chrono (creator of Peace Maker) Genre: Fantasy/Action Rating: OT 16+
Summary: Charley, a cyborg vampire who does the Vatican's dirty work, is the thrall of the local vampire playboy Johnny Rayflo. As the two of them fight crime--and each other--hilarity, violence and sacrilege ensue! But can Charley resist his own desperate cravings for blood? Find out as the devilish duo go up against a childlike vampire princess, a mysterious branch of the Unitarian Church...and each other.
More or less, it's a kinda kinky vampire story ^_^ You can read the first 20 pages on the Official TOKYOPOP Page
I love this manga to bits! Rayflo is so sexy D: Definetely one of my favorites so far! I highly recommend it~ (It convinced a friend of mine that manga doesn't necessarily suck xD ) Uh, just a warning, it's technically not yaoi, but it's walking a fine line. Also known as "GAHJUSTDOITALREADY"
<.<;; And yeah, the cover looks suspicious xD Most of my friends commented; "It looks like he's being f*cked"
*pimps like mad*
...since 1992.

Holy CRAPMUFFINS! Cyborgs, vampires, AND Nanae Chrono?! I'm in love with her art style, and Peacemaker. This is exciting. I'm gonna go read the first few pages on TokyoPop right now. <3
Edit: ... Woah. How are pages 15-17 NOT yaoi.
It looks a little cheesy to me, maybe, but since it's Nanae Chrono I may have to pick it up anyway :] Rayflo's character design is neat. So is Charles's, but something about him looks awkward to me. I think it's his short hair with how tall he is?

At the end of volume 1, certain things are suggested at the end... but no actual yaoi so far... such a tease xD ;___; IT IS SO GREAT. You find out why his hair is weird if you BUY THE BOOK.

Oh my gosh YES!
I was reading... something else in the store one day, and I saw "Nanae Chrono" in the back and immediately ran to find it. xD And of course, I ended up buying it. Mainly since I loved Peacemaker so much, I was up for anything new by Nanae~
I swear, it's the hottest "not-yaoi" I've read... ever, really. o.o
I F'ing LOVE Johnny (and his smexeh hair, lol)! That kid with the eyepatch, too... I hope he'll come up again! heart *waits eagerly for the next one*

The kid with the eyepatch is actually a major character, so he reappears after a little while. His name is Harold <3

Fantastic manga. I got scarily hot for this book, even though there was no sex in it! Some of the situations are so on the edge, im surprised it got away with being a 16+ book. You can so tell whats going on off panel....

I'm surprised they didn't publish it under BLU instead... because, y'know, it gets pretty damn suggestive and
they almost go all the way in the third volume
I'm kinda glad though, 'cause I think that the main label is a bit cheaper... *cheapskate* I am totally dying to know what's gonna happen next >_>

Ha! I'm surprised there hasn't been a topic for this sooner; I love this manga! It's been a long time since I've found a new manga to get into, and I absolutely LOVE Vassalord. Gorgeous amounts of unresolved sexual tension and generally twisted, completely sexy expressions of messed up love. I leant my friend my volume, and her first words of review after she read it were as follows:
"NOT ENOUGH F$#@ING."
But yeah, I loved it. And I really, really wish I could read more, but I don't want to be spoiled before the next volume and look for scanlations. ;____;
...Stupid November release date for volume two.
I'm unfortunately not very familiar with Nanae Chrono, but her art is gorgeous. If her art style was a man, he would be my type.

Rulin' ya universes...
smile One of the things I love the most is indeed the UST. It's like... painfully good xD haha.
I know what you mean about spoiling it, I reeeally wanted to read the actual manga but NOVEMBER? I can't wait THAT long D: SO i gave in and read some scans, instead. Out of desperation. And now, I have resorted to RAWS. OUT OF DESPERATION.
I reallyreallyreally want some Vassalord Merch. There isn't a whole lot out there, some drama CDs, a calendar and an artbook... I want them allll~

I read the preview in Anime Insider a while ago and wondered why it was Tokyopop rather than Tokyopop Blu. it was only 12 pages but i had to say to myself "Holy crap is it or isn't it?!" I really want to read it. D:

There's an art book, too? I have to find it now! o_o *collects them*
Lucky for me I'm pretty patient when waiting for manga, otherwise, yes, the wait 'till November will feel like... years. xD

Luckily, there are several interesting things happening this autumn so I will probably be sufficiently distracted until then, but stiiill. The merch seems pretty hard to get hold of, it seems sad I've seen some scans but ebay has very little... except for some drama cds and clearfiles (I love clearfiles, so tempting!) I'mma go check yahoo! Japan~
@Kyouko-chan: Ooh, get it get it! And I'm with you on the whole "is it or isn't it"-deal... I mean...gah x__x certain things are suggested liek whoah at the end of volume 1 but you never know... (vol.2 is real hot, too... eeek!)
