Unfortunately it is a manga that has an issue with inconsistencies in the story, creating some noticeable plot-holes, and inconsistencies in character behaviour, creating some questionable moments. Overall Rosario + Vampire is a mediocre harem manga that eventually grows into something that people, who crave more than the odd flash of pantsu-service, can enjoy. And I must add that the artwork undergoes some dramatic improvements, as the mangaka improves as an artist, along with the story. However when expressing a distinct mood or emotion, the mangaka makes fantastic use of shading. The characters & monster designs are somewhat imaginative but they tend to lack detail in their features. The most prominent being the usual day to day high school occurrences, with fairly simplistic yet serviceable artwork and then there’s the pockets of action, with bloody intense artwork. In my opinion the best as aspect of R+V is the artwork, which comes in 2 varieties. It is from that point on that Tsukune undergoes some surprising developments… for the better. However we come back to Tsukune, who’s even less appealing and less developed than the generic villains, until about the point where the anime & manga storyline splits off. Each of them has some depth to their character, to ensure that they are more than just an otaku’s dakimakura (love pillow), which helps make them all appealing in some way. The cute girls in question come in a variety of shapes & sizes but I like that there’s more to them than their initial personality traits. We have yet another “loser-kun” as our male protagonist, who somehow happens to attract cute girls like a magnet. The characters are what help elevate R+V, but even with that said there’s nothing unique about the character set-up to set it apart from your average harem. So it’s good that the mangaka quickly realizes that this is a stale formula, rather quickly and focuses on developing the characters through more in-depth mini-arcs, which is a welcome change from the previous episodic storylines. Then closing things out with a monster spawn and having some contrived reason to force an altercation of sorts with Tsukune or the girls… rinse & repeat. Sounds like one heck of a school-life fantasy, but the actual content does get somewhat stale and repetitive with Tsukune getting into the usual mishaps & misunderstandings. And there we have our story, with Tsukune tying to enjoy his Harem Haven, whilst dealing with life-threatening monster encounters, all while trying not to reveal his human nature to rest of the student body. Well it may also have something to do with the attractive girls throwing themselves at Tsukune, giving him less of a reason to leave. Now if he were a sensible human being he would GTFO, but sometimes going to school is more important than one’s well-being. Generic Male Protagonist No.91), through some odd circumstances, ends up as the only human in a Monster Academy. Well that’s how it is at first, as Tsukune Aono (a.k.a. Yet there’s no need to come into R+V expecting a fantastic story as this simply is just your average high school Rom/Com, with some monsters thrown in. It is merely a Shounen Supernatural Harem manga, with a bit of Comedy & Action thrown in for good measure. And it’s surprising how serious people get about it, given that Well Rosario + Vampire is a perfect example of such a case, whether you enjoy this kind of manga or not, the community has come to a unanimous agreement that this particular manga is worlds better than it’s unexpectedly popular anime adaptation. This is usually in a bid to get people to check out the original source material, after witnessing a lacklustre anime/live action adaptation collapse in on itself. After years within the anime & manga community, I have come across a particular argument time & time again "the manga/light novel/visual novel is better".
