Sadly I've mostly come to dread vampire manga. That's not because they are frightening, but because more often than not they are just bad like today's example.
TSUKIYOMI MOON PHASE (Tsukiyomi), by Keitaro Arima. First published in 2000 and first published in North America in 2005.
PLOT:
Kouhei Mido is spiritually deficient. He had spiritually sensitive parents, he can photograph ghosts by accident, but he is completely unable to sense the supernatural. That probably explains why he wasn't disturbed when he stumbled upon a mysterious young girl in a castle while accompanying a group of ghost hunters. The girl, named Hazuki, charms Kouhei into letting her kiss him...which really means biting him because she's a vampire who wants to turn him into her minion. Her bite has no effect, but she still insists on following Kouhei back to Japan to find out about her past and to continue lording over him.
