I was happy, a little excited when I saw this at the library. First heard about this from where else, GR. Keep the suggestions coming. Anyway, I'm liking this type of trope, thanks to mostly well, TV Tropes and all that. You got a boss that's a vampire, and a human that's his secretary. I did like the bickering between the two and that she stood her ground. Even if he seemed unlikable. Then of course there's the brother. Getting a vibe from him. And from what I learned from Stepping on Roses, well, the less I say the better else we'll be getting into spoiler territory. So, the art while good, seemed okay to very well done, especially the hair styles and eyes. Very expressive. I think I found a new favorite series to read. Unless I can catch up on the other mangas I'm reading. What's one more to add to the mix? RATING: 3.5 stars.First impressions: I actually liked this one better this time around. Ok, so the story is pretty typical, but Kaya is cute and she isn't a wimp either. And this Manga is sexy.Kaya Satozuka is the perfect secretary, right down to her appearance. She works at a major Japanese corporation.One day she is promoted to executive secretary of the playboy of Touma Corp, director Kyohei Touma! He's handsome, he's cool and he's got a string of girlfriends! But what Kaya discovers about her new boss is even more surprising... he is a vampire! Kaya will have to prove herself a great secretary if she wants to keep her position... even if it means scheduling her boss's meals."Midnight Secretary" is a piece of fluffy Josei that you just know how it's going to end as soon as you open volume 1. Kaya is a plain-ish woman who prides herself on being professional... so professional she tries to do her best even after discovering her boss is a vampire.Kyohei is your typical handsome playboy, who has as many assignations scheduled as other executives have meetings. Of course, as Kaya soon discovers, many of these "dates" are actually feedings. It's pretty predictable really. There's nothing special about the story and the characters don't evolve (at least in volume 1) to more than mere clichés. I did like the fact that Kaya stands up for herself a bit, but otherwise, everything was pretty predictable.Still, I enjoyed it anyway. I'm not any kind of specialist on artwork, but it seemed clean enough. I guess it's a good read if you're not expecting much. It's fluffy, romantic (sort of, since the hero is kind of - predictably - childish) and even cute.
Do You like book Midnight Secretary, Vol. 01 (2000)?
It's way better than I expected, but still very silly.
