Blood Lad

Read it here.

I've been surrounded by too many pretty-boy vampires lately so I was searching for a change of pace when I found this. Blood Lad.

Story:
Staz is the vampire boss of a section of the demon world, but he has little interest in human blood. He's more infatuated with Japanese culture. When he learns that Yanagi Fuyumi, a Japanese teenage girl, accidentally wanders into the demon city, he jumps to the occasion. However, while Staz deals with an intruder on his turf, the oblivious Fuyumi is killed by a monster and becomes a wandering ghost. The disappointed Staz vows to her that he will find a way to bring Fuyumi back to life.

Its certainly interesting enough. I read the 13 chapters out in one day if thats any indication. Much echiness and fan service, but I've come to terms that its something I can't escape from. There's rumors that an anime would come out in 2012. It doesn't quite capture me as Ao no Exorcist did when I first read it, but its something to watch out for.
