Everybody already mentioned this in the other reviews but there's something in this story that keeps you reading it, even if it came across as slow you will find yourself entertained.

The Tragedy genre is all over the story, but in a subtle way, going through the panels feels like swimming in a light but cloudy water, the story is pretty consistent with a good pace, although the lowkey Shakespearesque way to develop the story can be frustrating for some people I consider it bearable considering the concept of a romantic-vampiresque-tragedy theme.
