Vampires, temporary mothers, and protecting the human world? The synopsis for this slightly obscure manga gives a first impression of a fantastical realm of child rearing and villains on a global scale. If you prefer that type of epic manga, I am sorry to say that Kenketsu Rush is not for you. Instead, Keketsu Rush offers an enjoyable romance with a demonic and vampire twist. And fortunately for me, I much prefer this vampire romance in a vampire genre that is dominated by smut and melodrama.

STORY:
The story of this manga is pretty plain to be honest. Exactly as the synopsis ... says, a high school student is suddenly forced to care for a vampire child and their relationship grows from there. Along the way there are some pretty interesting reveals about the characters' pasts, but overall, it feels somewhat generic and out-of-place at times.

Luckily, the the lackluster in storytelling is really balanced by the romance. The romance truly was heartwarming and I loved seeing relationships develop. Ultimately, I really am a sucker for romance, and the straightforward romance was a winner for me.

ART:
There really isn't much to say about the art. It certainly is better than your standard shoujo art. As much as female shoujo fans love themselves some bishounen, I enjoyed the look of the male protagonist. Not overly bishounen, but definitively shoujo style.

CHARACTER:
Admittedly, the characters are pretty forgettable and, besides the male protagonist, there is a noticeable lack of depth throughout the entire cast of characters. The supporting cast is interesting but irrelevant throughout much of the manga and I honestly don't recall any particular moment that I fell in love with a character. Despite this, the cast of characters is suitable enough for the telling of the story. They were perky and enjoyable, but they weren't enough to leave a permanent memory.

ENJOYMENT:
This is going to a slightly awkward transition, but I truly enjoyed this manga. Contrary to how I portrayed myself in the character section, I had great fun reading this manga. There were a few dull moments, but I found myself immersed in the romance and developments. Furthermore, there was nothing truly mind blowing yet, somehow, when I finished the manga, I was legitimately thirsty for more. I wish I could have had a more conclusive epilogue, but this thirst was more because of how much I enjoyed the manga as a whole rather than my picky attitude towards endings.

OVERALL:
At this point there isn't much else to say. This review was kind of impromptu; its solely for the sake of filling this empty manga page of a manga that entertained me. Its a shame that it isn't marked as Vampire genre, because this is one of the more impressive vampire romances that I've read. A truly enjoyable manga for anyone looking for a romance, a vampire manga, or a light read.
