This is not just any random shoujo you might like and it's not the next vampire love story that you would read before going to bed. This is a piece of art that shows the twisted side of love and life. It's the story that would make you reconsider your believes of the vampires.
First of all, its concept is quite unique, not perfect, but yet very enjoyable and touching. The development of the story is good enough for a psychological manga (slow enough), but some parts could have been worked out a little bit more. The storyline follows the life Dimitri, who was turned into a vampire, and Agnieszka - his beloved one. Both of them get involved into a bloody tragedy with no end. Furthermore Dimitri has to deal with the "breeding" problem of the vampire race in the future and his own feelings for the beautiful Agnieska, in order to make the right choice. But choosing one of them isn't easy...
The Art - it depends if you like different styles. I do not recommend this manga to those who are fans of the standard shoujo, because here, the art is more of an outline of the story - it is dark and sunk into the vain beauty of immortality.
Kuro Bara Alice has, more or less, remarkable characters. One has to see for himself, otherwise I might spoil the surprise :)
Overall - (8) - I would recommend this manga to those who seek something different, a little bit strange, a little bit dark. I don't think of the story as a horror, not if you aren't afraid of spiders, but more of a dark fantasy. But...see for yourself - it's not a manga for everyone :) read more

By the same author, both series carry a similar dark theme to it & intriguing storyline. Psychological aspects are evident in both series & romance for the main lead is a battle of logic vs emotions.
From the same creator and with a similar dark fantasy feeling. Kuro Bara Alice is the better work (since it's more artistically mature), but both are outstanding manga and very recommended.

Both of the have the same vibe of taking care of little girl!? But Black Rose is about a unhuman with a vampire while hana to akuma is about human with a devil
