Reception

Faustine Lillaz of Planete BD described the story as having a good introduction and a realistic and intelligent tone, and praised Ohkubo's drawings, calling them very clever, and beautiful, which help to enhance the story.[14][15] The third volume is sometimes difficult to understand with certain twists or sequences,[16] and as of the fourth volume, the battles are well-paced, very violent, the two characters are attractive and stating "the story is therefore nervous, the graphics bring it to life with relative realism and the whole thing is extremely entertaining."[17] Manga News does not consider the manga to be another vampire work based on Vlad III, but rather a historical interpretation of this man's life.[18] Some elements in the second volume move a little too fast, but they feel a certain rigor and a somewhat dark atmosphere which contribute quite a bit to the immersion.[19]
