Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Spirits(2)

Despite being marked as shounen-ai there was no romance or feelings of that in this story. The vampire and his doll were obviously close in a verbally combative way, and they needed each other (one for life, the other to avoid loneliness) but there was no spark or chemistry there. More a close bond of master and sadistic doll. The story had the vampire visiting many spirits and magical creatures. It was interesting seeing the different Gods, spirits, and magical beings. Entertaining, beautiful art, a little dark, and overall a good read.

A heartwarming story of an unusual group who become family. There’s still so much to discover and explore, but at the same time it was a lovely place to leave with things going so well for the shrine and a future beyond school beckoning. It had some real heartbreaking moments and again, it feels like so much more can be done, but it was so sweet that I don’t mind.
