Thank you for reading Call of the Night

My review:
The narrative initially had a somewhat sluggish beginning, revolving around a young boy's attempt to forge a romantic connection with a vampire girl, aspiring for her bite to transform him into a vampire as well. However, as the series progressed, the plot underwent a gradual evolution with the introduction of new characters, leading to the intricate development of the Hokkaido arc.

In my opinion, the Hokkaido arc stands out as the pinnacle of the manga. The meticulous effort invested in crafting the arc's setting is truly commendable, and its conclusion resonates as a beautifully executed finale. The narrative ...

This Isnt for everyone, I think it targets a fairly niche audience, but if you are part of the audience then you will love this.

Have you ever stayed up late staring into the calmness of the night. Do you ever feel an immense wanderlust when day turns dark? If yes then this is for you.

Ever since I was a kid Ive never wanted to sleep at night. Ive always preffered staying up late. Night owl forever. But at some point down the line I was just absolutely immersed in the peacefulness of the night, the time when youre truly free. Theres a certain type of ...

The story so far is soothing to read. It has a hint of comedy and a fun, cosy atmosphere.

The art is as good as it gets. Beautiful and detailed with a variation to a less detailed artstyle for funny non-serious scenes. Adding on to the mood.

So far we have only been introduced to two main characters during 4 chapters. And a few side characters we don't really know much about.

The girl instantly reminded me of Toga from my hero academia. The fuzzy short hair and a playful/slightly crazy personality. Im not making this a negative part, as this is instantly a character ive taken ...

Sasuga Tokoyama-sensei. Favorite of all time.

It starts out as a 10/10 chill read. I won't talk about that much since you can see it from the earlier reviews. But man, did you ever expect this to be such a rom-com killer? It manages to be a slice of life, romance, mystery, and drama in different chapters. Hell, it even has a shounen chapter.

Kotoyama really is exploring his ability to write in different types of genres, and it is amazing. He makes you love our main 2 characters in the beginning, and even the side characters are extremely likable despite the limited development given to ...

It was a great ride.

Yofukashi no Uta was with me ever since the pandemic started, it was such a fun thing to read during the endless nights, i had so much stuff to worry about but the feeling i've found while reading it made me feel great, made me kinda forget we were trapped in our houses, because you know, the whole point of the series was Kou going out all the time.

It was a funny series with a lot of tearjerker and funny moments, with a whole cast of endearing characters. The art is simple but really well done, also the series made ...

I'll be upfront, this series has quickly become my new favorite Shounen Sunday series.
The description does not do the series justice. An amazing story of a boy who meets a vampire one late night while going for an evening stroll. She asks if he wants to be a vampire, and he finally knew what he wanted in life.

Story: (8.9)
The story is slice of life, to boarder line Shounen. At times it is just a boy and a girl hanging out talking, other times other vampires show up to try to steal Kou. I don't want to spoil to much, and it is still fairly new ...

"Call of the Night" is a manga that effortlessly captures a unique and captivating atmosphere, making it a must-read for fans of the night time and supernatural romance. This series skillfully blends elements of the supernatural with coming-of-age themes, resulting in an intriguing and immersive reading experience.

The manga follows the story of Ko Yamori, a fourteen-year-old boy who finds himself dissatisfied with his life, unable to sleep and yearning for something more. His nocturnal wanderings lead him to encounter Nazuna Nanakusa, a vampire who introduces Ko to the joys of being a night-walker. As Ko becomes enamored with the idea of becoming a vampire himself, ...

I could've never imagined what this silly and relaxing story about wandering out at night with a vampire would turn into. It has it all.

The romance is so well written, it's not constantly teased and doesn't edge you at all, and the author actually gives the couples time to develop together, all while being self aware that the end goal is in fact, falling in love. All the romantic interactions feel earned and feel like they're leading to somewhere, they don't feel out of place, and thankfully they're pretty much never interrupted. They're always executed perfectly. Even though the romance is actually incredible and ...

I just read the final chapter, so now I'm here to deliver the news: This manga is good.

What originally drew me in was the style. It's very well drawn, the dialogue is funny and I loved the light-heartedness of the story and characters. Character growth was shown (refreshing), and the characters were well-written.

The only thing is I thought the ending was lackluster, but most didn't think that (at least from what I've seen online). I just wanted a bit more, but it's good! I recommend it for a fun, nice, cute read. The pacing is great, doesn't feel super drawn out (when it is ...

ı'll be honest...ı hate this manga but ı love this manga...Reading beautiful and peaceful things makes you feel good, you feel happy, but it's always the same thing, the same feeling of emptiness. If the thing I've read and watched so far is really good and I liked it, the same thing always happens, the manga, anime or whatever ends and I feel pain inside because everything is over, I'm sad and broken. But it's over... of course these are my feelings. People said a lot of bad things about the ending of the manga, but I think it was a very realistic ending, after ...

As others have stated before me: this manga is not for everyone.

Frankly, I struggle with the right terms to use whenever I attempt to persuade someone to read this. Do I go with supernatural romance? Supernatural thriller? Supernatural comedy? At times in the story it feels like each one of these is fitting, however it still wouldn't be right in the grand scheme of things. In the end, the only thing to say is: "Just try it out for yourself. It's great."

Without revealing too much, this manga focuses heavily on our protagonist Kou, a 14 year-old disinterested middle school student suffering from insomnia ...

Best manga I've ever read
Simply waiting for a chapter to be released during the week was a reason to celebrate, the plot works in a very consistent and linear way. The characters constantly evolve in mentality and ideas, especially when it comes to the protagonist WHO AT 14 IS THE GREATEST PHILOSOPHER OF THE CENTURY (????)
But I recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good drama, with a pinch of action, romance and interesting characters.
A 9/10 is the least I can do for this wonderful work.
Thank you, Kotoyama!

I stumbled upon this gem on Reddit about a few hours ago and I was pretty hooked.

The story follows Yamori Kou, a run-of-the-mill nihilistic teen who stopped going to school because it was boring. He's pretty introverted in the beginning until he meets our second main character, Nanakusa Nazuna who tells Kou about the fun of "Night Walking." The two have fun throughout the night and it eventually gets to the point of Nazuna inviting Kou back to her house. Now, you might be thinking: "I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going" ...

Kotoyama, best known for Dagashi Kashi, brings a refreshing take on the vampire genre. Dagashi Kashi may have been a short-format light-hearted comedy, but was tightly constructed and demonstrated Kotoyama's insightfulness and sharp writing. These strengths shine even more strongly in the more substantial Yofukashi no Uta.

While at first glance a simple romcom, YnU is surprisingly sophisticated, exploring the maturing psyche or a adolescent boy, dealing with themes of growing up, escapism and sexuality.

Most of the core characters (Nazuna, Kou, Akira) are written and developed in a nuanced fashion and there is great chemistry between the main couple. There are 1 or 2 arcs in ...

This Show is amazing, the way they portray the thoughts and interactions of the main cast leave me astounded, this show is vey deep meaning to me, as someone who never sleeps ever, and honestly whenever its late i think of climbing onto my roof and just sitting there

This show is highly recommended its, fun, light-hearted but can get serious at times thats why its so perfect, it has a multitude of characters all who are amazing and actually feel like their own individual people with their own lives, i feel so much thought put into this and i love it.

I'm so glad that I popped in to see people already reviewing this Manga, as I have no doubt it will be adapted into an anime.

While this title is very niche, involving vampires, exorcism, children's youth and adolescence, and puberty. A coming of age story where we sprinkle in the occult of Vampires, and what life during the night time is like. It offers a unique view on "what if vampires were cute girls, who aren't out the destroy human kinds, but just live life the way they want to... As cute girls and JKs." Okay so while that isn't the most captivating way ...

I have one golden rule when it comes to reviewing anime and manga alike, which is to never give a score before the series is finished, because there's always a chance it will go to shit

but im willing to break that rule when it comes to this manga, because it's just too good

the story starts off kinda uncompelling but it builds as the manga goes on. the art is also super detailed and very satisfying to look at. it's just so good.

as for the characters in this manga? ohhhh they're so good man. the main characters in this manga are interesting and well developed. Nazuna ...

This story centers around Kou Yamori, a night-loving insomniac and Nazuna Nanakusa, a mature yet immature vampire girl.

This story is so unique. But the true beauty of this story lies not in its originality nor its concept, but its characters and its delivery. The elegant and interesting yet blunt dialogue between Kou and Nazuna explores themes of loneliness and love through the interactions of two very interesting teens. The characters feel like actual people struggling with real problems. They get embarrassed and excited and lonely and jealous and protective and envious towards each other.

It explores deeply the feeling of not wanting to a part ...

Alright, I learned about this manga from a Gigguk video. I've been trying to get more into manga since I first read Chainsaw Man but I hadn't found anything else my inner illiterate self would deem readable. I'll start off by saying that this manga is by no means for everyone. The themes it mainly focuses on are not for everyone, being a romcom about vampires, with underlying commentary on daily life and society. The commentary does come from the perspective of a 13 year old drop out, but even still, his unwillingness to live a normal, everyday life can be relatable to a lot ...
