These emotional questions surprised me, and I quite liked it. He has his first flashes of jealousy at the pool party, in a moment I’m sure some unsavory fan works might exploit. But it doesn’t dwell on this, thankfully, but does play it through in a way that feels natural. His childhood friend (ah yes, that chestnut) of course grapples with her feelings about him and the vampire’s arrangement, and how she feels about it. This story really seems to be about a quest for feeling something deeply, and what that means. I know that sounds…obvious and weird, but it isn’t. A sort of depression metaphor, maybe. I am hoping that my local used book shop still has Vol 3 for "Call of the Night" because when I saw it, I hadn't started Vol 2 and I was still on the fence of continuing. Chapter 150 • Chapter 151 • Chapter 152 • Chapter 153 • Chapter 154 • Chapter 155 • Chapter 156 • Chapter 157 • Chapter 158 • Chapter 159 Chapter 60 • Chapter 61 • Chapter 62 • Chapter 63 • Chapter 64 • Chapter 65 • Chapter 66 • Chapter 67 • Chapter 68 • Chapter 69

In Vol 2, Ko's quest to become a vampire seems to be met until it isn't. The 'vampire' metaphor is used interestingly in this series and gives Ko room to think about his behaviors, his observations, his fears, and the not-so-subtleties of growing up. And it is done with cheeky humor and familiar awkwardness but with also a surprising gentleness. Or as gentle as can be with a Nazuna around.It took me awhile (because I had to read some other books for review/eval), but I am finished with Vol 2 and I really enjoyed. There are some minor wobbles that keep this from quite getting full marks. We see the lure of the night without much of its negative side, for one--especially when it comes to the ability of women to move about without interference or outright predation. Kiyohomi's story at the end of the volume doesn't sugarcoat how oppressive Japanese office life can be for a woman who doesn't already have the protection of a male partner, and I imagine author Kotoyama will not stop there. It isn't an omission so much as something they haven't gotten around to yet, I think.

It seems like Nazuna is encouraging Ko to be possessive, she tried making him jealous at the pool and pointing out people who’s blood she’s had. She had said various emotions add flavor to the blood but encouraging him to act like a jealous boyfriend isn’t good for him. She’s encouraging him to stay out all night and not go to school, overall she’s a bad influence on him. I think she’s just lonely and desperate for a friend, even if it is with a middle schooler. Chapter 9 • Chapter 10 • Chapter 11 • Chapter 12 • Chapter 13 • Chapter 14 • Chapter 15 • Chapter 16 • Chapter 17 • Chapter 18 If you like the night then you should give this a try. It follows the cozy and feel good lighthearted story of 2 people having fun and exploring the night. It touches on themes such as loneliness and being bored with everyday life. The story also expands to include more people in Ko's world as he makes more friends. The simple plot also starts to show the beginnings of a bigger plot. Chapter 180 • Chapter 181 • Chapter 182 • Chapter 183 • Chapter 184 • Chapter 185 • Chapter 186 • Chapter 187 • Chapter 188 • Chapter 189Call of the Night feels more like an exploration of what mental health and overall abandonment effect the youth of the world. Based on comments made by other people within the world of this version of Japan, many young people become insomniacs, roaming the streets of Japan at night with less than a care in the world.

Chapter 19 • Chapter 20 • Chapter 21 • Chapter 22 • Chapter 23 • Chapter 24 • Chapter 25 • Chapter 26 • Chapter 27 • Chapter 28 • Chapter 29 The way the book juggles all these plot lines and still manages to be sweet, creepy, fun., silly, romantic, and thoughtful at various times is something else. It is one of the most consistent books I’m reading and it is the best shonen series in my pile right now, hands down ( Spy x Family is super close though). Chapter 70 • Chapter 71 • Chapter 72 • Chapter 73 • Chapter 74 • Chapter 75 • Chapter 76 • Chapter 77 • Chapter 78 • Chapter 79As often happens with manga serializations, the first volume of Call of the Night spent a number of chapters establishing its central situations, and felt a bit tentative in places. This volume solidified the series' tone and focus in a satisfying way. Thank you for reading this review, and I hope you enjoyed. I plan on creating longer form content in the future on our social media @thelibraryfromscratch . As for their lives, we see other sides of the biting (and witty) vampire, with her profession of choice being brought up. This provides depth to her inner workings, as well as some comedy. As for the insomniac hero, he’s torn on what he wants to do, besides his wish for vampirism. Does he truly comprehend what love is? Is he ready to handle that emotion? Is she?

The pool guys kept going on about how hot and cute she is but she looks so childlike, it’s creepy. The author kept showing close ups of the women’s butts at the pool but they’re all so flat it was more funny than sexy. Chapter 50 • Chapter 51 • Chapter 52 • Chapter 53 • Chapter 54 • Chapter 55 • Chapter 56 • Chapter 57 • Chapter 58 • Chapter 59 This novel they continue the story of Ko and his classmate Akira, and later on interact with a office worker who used Nazuna’s services in the past. Shenanigans ensue, and the impact made on her life I’m hoping will lead to a better future for that woman.This manga makes it seem really easy for minors to access alcohol in Japan. Like anyone can just go to a vending machine and get a beer. It can’t really be that easy to get a beer there can it?
