Personal Review: Trinity Blood Rage Against the Moon vol.1

Review By Jong Chung

Trinity Blood Vol. 1: From the Empire found a strange niche for me. Due to the recent (as in within the past several years) boom in popularity of the vampire genre in just about everything, I was reluctant when I first began to sift through the opening pages. Suddenly, realization kicked in. It was rather, or actually, very enjoyable! Before I knew it, an hour had passed in no time. The writing wasn't toned down like certain other translated light novels I've read in the past, and the story was just gritty enough without the over exposure of the “romantic vampire” setting that I have assumed the genre was riddled with. No, it actually provided a solid writing and plot (though probably slightly cliché) and characters that have distinct roles and fit them to a tee.
