Mixed Feelings
I don't hate it. I actually liked it... most of the time. But the flaws make me unable to love it because they are such pointless flaws that didn't need to exist but they still purposely did some of them anyways and they do detract from the story and themes.

Pros
-Explores the dynamic between vampires and humans and is very honest about the issues it causes to nobody's benefit.
-Attempts to keep grounded on said issues while exploring mental health issues that can stem from or relate to the above.
-There isn't some random uncalled for reveal about a main villain or whatever.
-Explores other (and related) mental health issues.

Cons
-It's just too blunt on anything that isn't clearly the author's favoured content.
-Randomly and inconsistently turns into a shonen battle manga which is a jarring contrast from the usual subject matter.
-MC gets an addition at one point that should not have been a thing. Author doesn't even try to justify it, lampshades he might be breaking the internal rules of the world to do it, and keeps bringing up the fact he's not justifying it. Why?
-After they flesh out actual side characters, they start bloating the cast with undeveloped side characters that don't go anywhere.

And the biggest con... The Ending.
Thoroughly unsatisfactory. Maybe just outright bad because it tries to be inoffensive for the main characters but comes off as indecisive. Like they didn't know how to end the manga while keeping true to the themes and character development. So they kinda didn't do either. It's bordering on disrespectful despite what the author intended to show.

Again, I don't hate it. But I have a bad tendency to only review things that leave a bad taste in my mouth and the ending just tipped me over the edge.
