Case Study of Vanitas, Vol. 5: MIRROR MIRROR Paperback – 22 January 2019

Just arrived and it has a very CLEAR crease across the front cover. It looks worse than the pictures show in real life, as it even . Very disappointed as you can feel it as you read and it ruins the art for me.The appearance of the book is very important to me as I like to display them. Not happy with the ruined cover at ALL for the price payed.

Vanitas, Noé and Co. have a new mission on a snowy place which was attacked years ago by The Beast of Gévaudan, who might be Chloé D’Apchier, the hidden vampire of the family. We also get introduced to a new character, a young boy and sadistic paladin named Astolfo –they basically fight each other, though our protagonists get caught in the crossfire.In just a few chapters, Charlatan comes into the picture again, making Vanitas lose his book. Somehow, Jeanne rescues Vanitas and tries to take the fever out of him –eventually, she shares an intimate scene with him.But that only brings more questions. Why does Vanitas not want Noé to drink his blood like Jeanne does? Because he will know his past? Truth is both of them have been carrying the weight of a tragedy on their shoulders yet it’s kind of expected that they will be understood by the other.By the end of the volume, Noé wakes up to Chloé drinking his blood. Is he a hostage? And what happened to Mikhail?I think we’ve been introduced to a bunch of interesting characters but that doesn’t answer any questions, it only brings more mystery. I hope we get actual info / plot in the next volume.

This volume contains a taste of action of the story, it's great! By the way, I enjoyed the colored sheets, like those in volume 1, I think that every volume should have the first sheets in color, it would be perfect!

perfect quality

Amazing
