An intriguing start to a series with some really gorgeous art. I loved the vampire world building both from the perspective of a new vampire and old as they grapple with depression, loneliness, and being frozen in time as the world moves on. The relationship between Ichii and En was interesting and nuanced.

This was a fun quick read and I enjoyed it quite a bit. The only drawback for me personally was that there were too many characters and because of that it felt a little disjointed. As a whole I’d recommend it for fans of manga but not necessarily as a gateway for newbies.

[I'm so sorry for being late]

I loved everything in FANGS volume 1! I missed reading manga about vampire (especially in a BL).
We have six different vampires, and each was unique and different. I really think that everyone has a well written personality.
I think my favorite is En - a 19-year old who was turned into a vampire and is introduced in the "FANGS" society.
In this volume we can find various type of relationship and the different aspects of vampirism. It explain perfectly well the different ways it can affect people: cheating, loneliness, depression and even death.
.I'm curious about Ichii's past, I'd like to knew something avout it (even if will be very tragic)-

First volume ends on a cliffhanger which means readers will be anxious to get their hands on the next volume.

I loved this book so much. I am obsessed with everything vampire and this fit the bill and then some. I definitely recommend!!

Was so excited to read this then I found out it was Manga, nothing wrong with that I just don't read it. BUT I DO LIKE STORY concept.

This is a review of the official release because I forgot I requested this and now it's archived.

I saw it at B&N and just had to pick it up because I'm a sucker for beautiful boys on covers! The art is beautiful and sexy, and I really liked the character interactions. Mainly I was really impressed by how diverse the cast was in terms of their relationships. Everyone decides to live their lives differently even though they're all vampires, and most brought different types of tears to my eyes. I am also really curious about Ichii's backstory. There's going to be more volumes, right?!

2.5 stars
I don’t know if it was just me but I was confused the whole time. It kinda felt like it was skipping to one thing and then another (this is due to my netgalley arc having all the pages jumbled). The relationship in this was nice to follow along to and I do wanna see what vol 2 will hold. I’m definitely gonna try read this again at some point but I do recommend it as the art was very beautiful and it definitely has an audience. I will be getting the physical copy at some point and reviewing it properly.

Fangs vol 1 was an enjoyable read. The art is very pretty but ultimately I had a lot of difficulty in identifying the different characters.

The premise is interesting and vampire BL storyline is right up my alley. But I found something to be missing though I cannot quite say what exactly.

I found Ishi to be a bit too pushy and fast. The "charm" thing was off too. I guess it's to be expected from BL mangas in general.

Overall interesting set up but not sure if I'll read future volumes.

Quick review for a quick read. "FANGS: Volume 1" is the first full volume of manga that I've read in a while. I wasn't expecting it to be full-on yaoi, but you know - I can't resist a manga story about vampires. The chemistry between the main characters is piping hot. This is En's and Ichii's story across five episodes with some bonus content. En is a 19-year old who was turned into a vampire and is introduced in the "FANGS" society, basically another word for vampires with a strict moral code. The idea is that anyone that's a part of this society has to pair up with someone in order to keep themselves from going rogue. Even those who are not paired feed on blood bags and do what they can to navigate life in a new normal. Ichii finds En shortly after En has been turned, and becomes a protector to the kid - though Ichii is much older than he appears. The two develop a rather interesting relationship right off the bat, coupled with some well humored and dramatic scenes while meeting a colorful cast of characters.

I really enjoyed this first volume and am interested in seeing where it goes from here, particularly with the intrigue of the last chapter and what En and Ichii's role in FANGS will end up being. The artwork was well done, the story was easy to follow, and while it has familiar elements of supernatural mature romances, I liked the intrigue of following the different characters here.

Overall score: 3.5/5 stars.

Note: I received this as an ARC from NetGalley, from the publisher.

I recommend reading this one on computer over kindle as it was tricky to read.
But the characters were amazing and I really enjoyed this one.

I absolutely loved this MM romance.

Such a great book with a solid storyline and great characters.

I eagerly look forward to reading more from this author.

A definite recommend!

This was the first paranormal Boys' Love manga I've read, but it won't be the last. En is a 19 year old gay man who was turned to a vampire without his consent, something that truly troubles his new mentor in the Vamp society, Ichii. Ichii is hoping to pair En--a virgin and sexy with it--with a compassionate and stable partner, so they can provide years of companionship and blood-sharing, but En is not interested in any of the many men he's presented at his first mixer. They may be sexy, but some seem pushy or entitles, and En has developed an affinity for Ichii, even if Ichii neither wants nor promotes this connection. 

Ichii is a good guy, volunteering with FANGS, a social group to help vampires meet their companionship or blood needs. He is attracted to En, but doesn't want to exploit him. Well, En makes it clear that any of the other vampires he'd met would be exploiting him in any case, and at least he KNOWS Ichii, to some degree.  Throughout the story we meet several other vampires, some whom have open relationships, and others who do not want to replace a lost partner. I liked getting to know these characters, and expect that we will see more of them in the coming volumes.

As for this story, it's an unexpectedly sweet when it is focused on Ichii and En. Ichii provides good humor while En is youthful, innocent and endearing. I really enjoyed the growing passion between the main characters, as well as how they cared for one another. There was a good level of maturity for most of the characters, some of whom are still young-looking despite being turned decades before. 


Expect a bit of steam between En and Ichii--and for it to be a little rough. The emotions were so evocative through the images and the words. I could really feel when someone was nervous, or concerned, or even depressed. It's a glamorous society, and the characters are represented with grace and panache. If you are even a little interested in manga, this could be a good one the check out, since it's the beginning of a series.

Blessed be yaoi and the vampires. So, when I've started this manga I didn't think that I would love it. At first you read about a very normal vampire love story, but then I've realized that it has a lot of hidden things I've loved to know.
The love story starde very quickly, and it was a bit disappointing, but then when I've kept on reading I've realized that this isn't the most important hing in this Manga.
En became recently a vampire and he was assigned with a guardian, an irresistibly sexy vampire. En doesn't know anything about his new world, but with the time passing he discovers more things and makes a lot of friends, friends that have a lot of secrets and a heartbreaking past. But his kindness will start to heal the hearts of some his new friends, specially of his new partner.
A very cool first volume. I've loved to know more about En and all the whole vampire world.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with the copy of this beautiful story.

FANGS is my new favourite Yaoi manga! Sooo good it was! There is M/M romance, a lot of steamy moments and smuffy scenes, vampire gay pairs with very particular tastes. It was light, funny and I'm thirsting for more already.

En was so cute with his "Don't treat me like a virgin" even when he acts like one all time. But for sure I loved sensual Ichii more.

Only negative thing I could find is similar appearance of Ichii and Sugi, they look nearly identical and sometime is hard to tell who is whom.

Drawing is one of the simplest but still beautiful and focused on details like piercings or clothes changing.

First volume ends on a cliffhanger. There is a hint of the unknown mysterious vampire and Ichii's (probably very tragic) past. I'm definitely very excited about next volume!

Did not enjoy this at all. There wasn’t nearly enough story for me. I wanted to give up pretty early in reading it. Also, was very difficult to follow on the kindle. So, I do not recommend reading it on any device.

Vampires and amazing art!! I cannot wait for the next volume in one of my newest favorite manga series!!

Vampires ARE BACK!!!!!! Sure, they definitely had their moment years ago, but it's actually really wonderful to have them back and better than ever in this BL manga! Is this for everyone? Of course not, but the artwork is stunning and the story was set up nicely and is going places, which means readers will be anxious to get their hands on the next volume.

First I would like to thank netgalley for the eARC of this manga in exchange for an honesty review.

I read it on the same day it was available to me, to give you an idea of how excited I was about this story..

I really like it! I definitely didn't expect all the r18 scenes, but that didn't bother me at all. The art is amazing and i'm super excited for the next volume and to continue to follow this characters and to know what will happen with them!

First of all, thank Netgalley for providing me with this manga, having said that my review will be 100% honest.
Fangs tells us about En, the only survivor of a vampire attack, remaining under the care of Ichii, who happens to be his guardian and his partner, who feeds him, Ichii is also a vampire and a very old one.
in this first volume he is in charge of introducing the characters, that is if nothing takes long to go to the explicit scenes (grateful).
They give us to understand that something happened in Ichii's past but I won't know what it is until the next volume ... or the next, so 10/10 for intrigued me. I recommend it, it has everything I like vampires, beautiful drawing, adorable characters that deserve to be protected at all costs, and a romance for which I hope it stays that cute.
For me it deserves 4.5 out of 5 stars. maybe I'll give you more once i finish the other volumes.

I would love to write a proper review for this but it was simply impossible to read this, both on my kindle or on my phone. The story didn’t make a lot of sense in the order and the format it was send, it was absolutely confusing and I’m super sad about this.
I love vampires and I really liked the art style of this. I need to grab a physical copy asap so I can read it in the right order and format.
