Rosario+Vampire, Vol. 9: Lesson Nine: Monster Mamas

Hokuto is beaten and peace has returned to our favorite supernatural school. Or not? A tender yet favorable moment between Moka and Tsukune gets ruined by Mizore having Tsukune meet her mother while pretending to be her boyfriend?! Something that is easily seen from Kurumu. Wait, Kurumu had the same plan in mind but with her mother thinking Tsukune is her fiancé?! So much for a fun first day at the school festival. But at least day one ended with Moka and Tsukune getting what they wanted. Now his cousin, Kyouko shows up and the girls see how much of an airhead she is. But how did she get into the academy and what’s in the envelope? Find out in volume 10.

I must admitWhen I first got into the series just by watching the anime first. I actually ended up liking the series to the point where it sadly had to end with only 2 seasons and a total of 13 episodes in each season which are over all 26 episodes. Honestly I have to say even though It was "fan service" as we all might say due to comedy and some laughs and tons of running jokes about boobs, panties, and even sex. Despite all that I loved it still and it had tons of likeable characters such as Kurumu and Mizore.Soon After i started reading the mangas cause I wanted to see what was the difference and as soon as I read it I soon discovered there was more action and more details on WHY most characters are what they are. And Ive read all the books there was until the very end. And after reading em all it was all the more reason why I loved Rosario Vampire. And it became one of my most favorite animes.I even managed to get someone else into the series while i was at work, I know it wasn't necessary to buy these books when I already read them online. But I had couple reasons why I just bought them anyway. 1) was because I was reading a translated version off of Mangahere.com and I have come across a couples of pages where their conversations somewhat didnt make sense at all though I will give the translator credit for actually trying his/her very best. And 2) was because one of my co-workers which is the one I got him into liking it. Wanted to read and see for himself. Especially parts where he missed out on where Im sure he would wanna see for himself. So if you're just like me and you wanna read the mangas after seeing the series. Then BUY IT NOW!! You will not be sorry. It will answer most of your bothersome questions about some things you might of not understood from the episodes. And im sure it will be all the more reason to LOVE Rosario Vampire.

This is a great story that includes a lot of the monsters that we all know and love in a high school setting. It is cute, funny, action packed and sexy but I implore anyone who has seen the anime and hated it DON'T JUDGE THIS MANGA BY THE ANIME!!! The story is stronger, the dialogue is better and the characters are far less annoying!The manga does not insult your intelligence but still provides an array of fan service to the benefit of the story instead of at the expense of it. Everything from epic beat downs, dramatic transformations, to steamy situations without the ridiculous over abundance of panty shots and idiotic banter. But that is not to imply that there aren't ANY panty shots.Story wise it is very well written and will always leave you wanting more. One of the most likable things about the manga is the consistent character development between each other and independently. It is one of my favorite manga and I can't wait for the volumes to come.

wish the dvd's had as much in them as the books but then it would take forever to get to the next story line and I can't wait to start another book

Rating system:1 star = did not like2 star = it was okay3 star = liked it4 star = really liked it5 star = it was amazing4.5/5Something important about this volume, if you've seen the anime, there's a major plot point in this book that plays out differently than how the anime did it. I personally think the manga is way better than the anime, but make of it what you will.Mizore is my favorite character in the series, and this volume briefly highlights once again that she is the only one who cares at all what Tsukune wants and what makes him happy. It's blatantly obvious that it's not meant to be, but they are my OTP for the series.

Just wait and see what Hokuto does. That story arch ends in this volume, and Lilith's mirror story arch begins. Chapters 35 and 36 are two of my favorite chapters in the whole series. Just a great volume.

Great.

I am not usually big in to the harem series but love this one. I highly recommend this. Really come to love all the characters.

Came in without a notch on the item!

This ninth and penultimate volume of the `Rosario+Vampire' manga sees Tsukune and Moka have their final confrontation with Hokuto as he puts his plan to destroy the Academy's Great Barrier into action. The volume also sees the beginning of the Yokai Academy Festival and despite the joyful occasion Tsukune has to deal with unwanted attention from his friends mothers.This is another very good volume of `Rosario+Vampire' finishes off the Anti-Schooler arc quite nicely and begins the School Festival arc. This volume include some nice revelations as to why Hokuto wants to destroy the school and while I do feel that the ultimate resolution to the Anti-Schooler arc may be something of a let-down, the battle before this was good and more than makes up for the resolutions shortcomings.The School Festival arc is of a totally different tone from the previous one and sees the series return to a more comedic style, but one that is still better than some of the early volumes. This arc introduces Kurumu and Mizore's mothers for some very funny moments and we also learn a bit more about Moka and Tsukune's families.This is a very entertaining volume and sets things up very nicely for the final volume of this first `Rosario+Vampire' series. I feel that it is well worth a full five stars.

Great book
