So, I confess, I haven't read Seven Seas' release of the manga Dance in the Vampire Bund, about a vampire princess who pays off Japan's national debt in exchange for creating a special region of Japan for vampires to live in. The princess, Mina, is about to announce the existence of vampires to the world at large...as long as she doesn't get assassinated first.

...But the very young looking (and in reality very old) vampire has a panty shot on Seven Seas' official site for the manga. I wish I had time to go through the preview, but I'm still sitting in the Aniplex panel! So make up your own mind about the loli-ness. But Moon Phase reports the series is going to be made into an anime. I guess we'll see whether it's a step up from loli flying mech witches or not!

It'll get banned, the way things are going.

Seven Seas, with the choice of the titles they bring to the U.S., is one of my favorite manga publishers. Dance in the Vampire Bund is a series I have been following and I like it.  Yeah, the first volume has a bit of Mina running around in the buff, but that settles down in later volumes. In fact, in those later volumes some of the things she does or is responsible for kind of overshadows her loli-visage.  If you like vampire / werewolf manga, I'd say give it a try.  They'll be back at Comic-Con this year too, so Gia, you or anyone else can visit them direct!  (they always have a nice booth there)
