Millennium Snow Volume 01

This book was really fun to read and had some really interesting characters in it. I am looking forward to reading the next volume.

Millenium Snow volume 1

Millennium Snow is the story of Chiyuki, a girl who has been in and out of the hospital her entire life. Her parents gave her the name 'Chiyuki' which means 'millennium snow' in the hopes that Chiyuki would live many many years. One day, watching out the hospital window, Chiyuki sees someone jump off of a building! She runs outside and finds the person...a vampire named Toya. He collapsed because he was too hungry, so his sidekick Yami (a bat) rushes over, bringing food. It is a very interesting story. Chiyuki is a spunky girl who doesn't let anything (including her illness) get her down. And she likes keeping everyone as happy as she is. :) And that includes people, animals, vampires, bats, werewolves...

A Sweet Little Vampire Tale

Chiyuki Matsuoka has had a heart problem since she was a baby and every year she wishes that she will live long enough to see the year's first snow. When she is seventeen it looks like Chiyuki's yearly wish won't come true and her heart will give out before the first snow. Then she meets Toya, an eighteen year old vampire with a humorous bat sidekick. Toya insists that he hates human blood when in reality he's just worried about condemning himself to loneliness if he forms the traditional partnership with a human in which, in exchange for the human's blood, both human and vampire will live for a thousand years. Chiyuki volunteers to be his human partner, but he refuses. Nonetheless, Chiyuki becomes determined to stay by his side. This might become a little more difficult with the appearance of Satsuki, a playboy with an interest in Chiyuki whose firm insistence that he is completely normal actually hides a shameful secret. Ouran High School Host Club is one of my all-time favorite series, so I was interested in seeing what Millenium Snow, Bisco Hatori's first manga series, was like. While it definitely isn't as good as Ouran, the sweetness and humor that infuses Ouran can be found here. While Chiyuki isn't as cool a heroine as Ouran's Haruhi, I do like her and Toya together and I also thought that Toya's bat sidekick was funny, especially when he takes Chiyuki's side and opposes Toya. Right now there are only two manga volumes out in this series and it's currently on a break while Hatori works on Ouran (don't worry, volume 2 doesn't end on a cliffhanger). I enjoyed the first two volumes enough that I'd like to see it have a real end, although I'm not sure how much more Hatori can stretch out the plot (according to one of the author's sidebars, the story was originally a one-shot that she later expanded into a series, so it wasn't created with the intention of making a long series anyway). Also included is Hatori's manga debut, the short story "A Romance of One Moment." It's a little weird (the main character's best friend has her dead twin brother's soul inside of her) and the art isn't that great. Then again, it's Hatori's first work and it does fit well with the tone of the Romantic Egoist short stories sprinkled throughout the Ouran manga volumes.

Life giving blood...

Life is in the blood. Toya, a 18 year old vampire, needs to link up with a human. Yet he hates blood. But if he does not take a partner he may not live a life of a thousand years like a normal vampire should. Chiyuki has a heart condition and has already lived longer than she should have. Every day is a gift. She may not every see her next snow fall. Can they join into in a partnership that could last for thousand of years? Is Toya scared of living for so long? Or is he scared that a human partner may reject him? From the creator of Ouran High School Host Club, with all the great skill, good plots and great character designs, you could want from Bisco Hatori. Already have volume 2.
