My thoughts
Chibi Vampire volume 2 picks up by quickly summarizing the events of the previous volume. I’ve noticed there are some manga that do this every book or in rarer cases almost every chapter (like Hana to Akuma). It kept things fresh and gets new readers and old readers into the series (but overdone it becomes a hindrance). However, I would not recommend skipping volume 1 or you will be missing out on important details and events and be confused in volume 2.
Enter Karin, a vampire with “monthly” problems. She’s a vampire with nose-bleeds and an intense blood-gushing reaction to the new transfer student Kenta Usui. This creates several embarrassing episodes for both of them, and even more ‘coincidentally’ they start to work at the same place. Of course, Karin’s life was never normal to begin with as a vampire. Living with her parents, brother and younger sister, she’s the family’s black sheep. Not only can she go out into the sun and enjoy it, but she gives blood instead of taking blood from her “victims,” creating a very positive result. The question is, what will Karin’s reactions to her classmate Kenta Usui result in as well as her life as a vampire?
