I can’t believe he forgot the rice 😭

This was such a cute read! I love anything with found family and a cute lil…. Pet…. Companion thing. I’m fairly new to reading manga but this was super easy to get into! The characters were all so funny and cute, it was the perfect silly read for my lunch break.

I wish it wasn’t a standalone! I want more from these characters!!

thank you netgalley for the arc! the only thing that makes me click “open” faster than a manga about bathhouses, is a manga about vampires in bathhouses! the niche content we all need and love <333 gorgeous art style, the story was heartfelt and wholesome, all the characters were fun and the jokes were spot on. the only downside is that this is a standalone, and i wish there had been more about both the demons and sakuka’s family. needless to say, i’d be keeping an eye out on any other titles by this mangaka.

An extremely cute slice of life comedy/fantasy/romance about a vampire who decides to come to the human world and try out a bathhouse. Complete with a cast of very sweet and funny characters, it oozes charm. It's just sugary sweet all over, I can't wait to read more volumes in the series as they become available in English.

There's a lot of male nudity so keep that in mind, its probably going to get that T for Teen sticker or 16+ rating on it. There's no gore or violence, some sexual innuendos, but no "spice." The tone reminded me of Yuri on Ice out of the admittedly limited amount of mangas and animes I've engaged with.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for this early copy in exchange for an honest review!

Damn I LOVE manga. This was so fun and light. I love silly funny vampire mangas. This was cosy to sit and binge and thank you for the advanced copy!

What a cute manga! The art had a lot of humor to it, while also being very warm and cozy. All of the characters were loveable, with varying personalities that made for an interesting found-family dynamic. There was just enough of a conflict to keep things fresh, but without losing the cozy, lighthearted quality of the work overall. I just wish there was more of this story to read. It's a very enjoyable read! I would definitely read more from Izuki Niko.

Thank you to Kodansha and Netgalley for the ARC.

Adorable and fun! Such a cute easy read for when you want to relax and enjoy some heartwarming vampire tales. We follow a vampire who goes to the human realms to enjoy a bath house. Just a silly and fun manga perfect for a cozy read.

Vampire Lord Luka decides to take up residence at a family run bathhouse after it cures his hang over and the water of the baths 'magically' cures the aches and pains in his body (after he fell asleep on the floor of his castle!)

A Vampire In The Bathhouse is a sweet and funny fast paced book. I loved the found family dynamics (for Luka) and the hilarious misunderstandings that entail when a vampire from the demon realm tries to integrate into the human realm. This book is sweet, funny and heartwarming, my only complaint is that there isn't more!
