Rosario + Vampire is an anime series adapted from the manga series of the same title by Akihisa Ikeda. The story revolves around Tsukune Aono, a boy with poor grades who accidentally enrolls into Yokai Academy, a special school inhabited by monsters and demons where humans are not allowed. There he encounters the vampire Moka Akashiya who is attracted to his blood's sweet taste. While trying to hide his human identity, he meets other girls who take a romantic interest in him. The anime is loosely based on the first nineteen chapters of the manga, and focuses more on the romantic comedy aspect and the 'monster of the week' motif that was previously featured in tokusatsu shows, as well as some rare occasions of breaking the fourth wall. The second season is loosely based on the Rosario + Vampire: Season II manga, focusing on Tsukune and the girls' second year at Yokai Academy and introducing characters from the second serialization as well as new anime-only characters, as with the first season. The series became notorious for its excessive use of fanservice, mainly in the form of panty shots, which resulted in the second season being censored on two networks,[1] as well as angering many fans of the original manga.[citation needed]
Two seasons, consisting of thirteen episodes each, were produced by Gonzo under the directorship of Takayuki Inagaki. The first season, Rosario + Vampire, originally aired on Tokyo MX, Chiba TV, and TV Kanagawa[citation needed] between January 3 and March 27, 2008.[2] Six DVD compilation volumes were released between April 25 and September 26, 2008,[3][4] and a DVD/Blu-ray box set was released on January 29, 2010.[5] The second season, Rosario + Vampire Capu2, aired 13 episodes on TV Osaka from October 1 to December 24, 2008,[6][7] with several other stations starting from October 2 to December 30, 2008.[citation needed] Six DVD volumes were released between December 21, 2008 and May 22, 2009,[8][9] and a DVD/Blu-ray box set was released on March 19, 2010.[10] The anime is licensed in North America by Funimation Entertainment,[11] and it released both seasons on December 20, 2011. The anime is also licensed in Australia and New Zealand by Madman Entertainment, who will be releasing both seasons in 2012.[12]
Four pieces of theme music were used for the series. The opening theme for the first season is 'Cosmic Love', while the ending theme is called 'Dancing in the Velvet Moon'. The opening theme for the second season is 'DISCOTHEQUE' while the ending theme is 'Trinity Cross'. The four pieces are performed by Nana Mizuki, the voice actress for Moka Akashiya in the series.[citation needed]

Kokoa overheard this conversation between Tsukune and Rubi and is planning to intercept him before he reaches his destination. | ||||

Tsukune continues on his journey and finally reaches the castle, thanks to Mizore, Yukari, and Kurumu's aid against Tsurara and Ageha. Inside, Kokoa warns him that the third all-powerful dark lord is Issa Shuzen, the father of both Moka and Kokoa. Despite her warnings, Tsukune confronts Issa, getting badly beaten by him in the process, but his determination brings out his latent vampire powers and manages to snatch the rosary from Issa's hand. Moka's inner self arrives and stops the fight, convincing Issa to let Tsukune have the rosary before having the castle collapse. Moka's inner self has her moment with Tsukune and bites him on the neck before she reattaches the rosary on her neck. Tsukune finally reunites with Moka's outer self, only to be bitten on the neck again. Nekonome and Rubi arrive with the bus to bring everyone back to the academy. After being spanked by her father for being behind several schemes, Kokoa then gains possession of Lilith's mirror once again and uses it. Both Mokas are suddenly present as they as well as Tsukune's other admirers glomp him. |

Plot[edit]
Tsukune Aono is an average teenager who is unable to get into any local high schools due to his poor grades. As a last ditch effort to secure his education, his parents enroll him in a private school called Yokai Academy, which he discovers is a boarding school for monsters. The school teaches monsters how to coexist with humans, including disguising as them, but any real humans found on campus are to be killed. Although he fears for his life, Tsukune befriends a beautiful vampire girl named Moka Akashiya, who enjoys his company and especially the taste of his blood. During a fight with a school bully, Tsukune accidentally removes the rosario around Moka's neck, and discovers that she transforms into a powerful vampire with a completely different personality.
Rosario To Vampire Episode 8
Because of Moka, Tsukune decides to stay at Yokai. He befriends formerly antagonistic students, including a succubus Kurumu Kurono and a child prodigy witch Yukari Sendo. They join the school's Newspaper Club and wind up fighting a variety of students and teachers, who use their monstrous powers to bully or to control one or more of the members for their own selfish or destructive ends. On a club trip to the human world, they meet a witch, Ruby Tojo, who defends a field of sunflowers from being torn down by developers. They meet Mizore Shirayuki, a snow fairy student who becomes Tsukune's 'stalker'. A group of 'Monstrels' harass the club. Ruby, having recovered from injuries, joins the school's staff as the Headmaster's assistant. An evil group called the Anti-Schoolers threaten to break down the barrier between the human and monster worlds. When Tsukune's cousin manages to sneak onto the school grounds, the club has a hard time keeping the monster school a secret. When the school is temporary closed because of damage, Tsukune returns home to the human world only to have Moka, Kurumu, Yukari, and Mizore follow him and hide in his room.
In Rosario+Vampire: Season II, Moka's younger sister Koko Shuzen enrolls. She, Ruby, and Mizore join the Newspaper Club. On an excursion to Mizore's homeland, they learn of a dangerous organization called Fairy Tale, which seeks to destroy the human world. The Newspaper Club visits the human world where they meet San Otonashi, a former club member, and run into trouble with adversaries from Fairy Tale's 7th Branch office. Chinese transfer student Fangfang Huang tries to recruit Tsukune to join his mafia family. When Moka spends a school day as her inner personality, she is unable to return to the seal, so the Newspaper Club heads to China to get her rosario fixed.
At Hong Kong, Tsukune and the gang learn the truth about Moka's identity: she was infused with First Ancestor blood by her mother Akasha Bloodriver, who sacrificed herself to protect them from Alucard, the original First Ancestor vampire. Moka's eldest sister Aqua infiltrates the Huang manor and captures Moka to bring to Fairy Tale, which suspects that Moka is the key to reviving Alucard. While his friends train their powers, Tsukune has his body altered by Tohofuhai to handle the upcoming challenges.
Tsukune and the gang infiltrate the Hanging Garden: a sky fortress that serves as Fairy Tale's headquarters. They face opposition from their leader and matriarch of the Shuzen family Gyokuro Shuzen, who sends the leaders of the Fairy Tale Branches after them for a series of fights. The group eventually reaches Moka, but must face her sisters Aqua and Kalua. Gyokuro snatches Moka's rosario in order to control Alucard. A character called the Masked King reveals himself to be a clone of Alucard's original vampire form. He reveals that he has manipulated both Fairy Tale and its opposition to determine whether the rosario could control him, and then merges with his monster self, who goes on a rampage in Tokyo.
Moka is mortally wounded, but Tsukune revives her by removing all his holy locks and transforming himself into a First Ancestor vampire. They beat down Alucard, but he revives and reveals that he has hatched eggs in Japan's major cities. Tsukune's friends and allies, along with the two other Dark Lords, band together to fight Alucard and his clones. Tsukune puts Moka's rosario on Alucard, which awakens Akasha inside his monster body. Akasha tells Alucard to give up the fight, and they cast a self-disintegration spell. Now that the existence of monsters is known in the human world, coexistence is now even harder to achieve, however, Tsukune is confident that he and his friends can do it.
Conception[edit]
Ikeda drew inspiration from the monster manga series Kaibutsu-kun and has incorporated some references later into the first serialization of the Rosario+Vampire manga. In an interview at Lucca Comics 2012, Ikeda said he is a big fan of Tim Burton and was inspired by his works, including The Nightmare Before Christmas, and particularly Edward Scissorhands because the monster has a sensitive soul. His first character design was Moka, a beautiful girl vampire with a crucifix around her neck; he then created the school of monsters and Tsukune afterwards. He credits the beautiful girls for the series' popularity and added the fighting elements. After the series ended in Monthly Shōnen Jump but was going to be featured in Jump Square, he retitled the second series to give it a sense of renewal.[6]
Media[edit]
Manga[edit]
Rosario + Vampire began serialization in the August 2004 issue of Monthly Shonen Jump, and ended on the September 2007 issue.

Volumes of the series commonly rank in listings of top selling manga in Japan.
In North America, the second volume of Rosario + Vampire was featured on BookScan's Top 20 Graphic Novels, ranking at #6 in August 2008 and #16 in September 2008,[91][92] with the fifth volume ranking at #7 in February 2009.[93] Season II Volume 8 reached number 5 on BookScan and was the top manga in April 2012[94] Season II Volume 11 ranked number 10,[95] and Season II Volume 12 reached number 3.[96]
Carlo Santos of Anime News Network gave the first volume of Season II a C rating and the second volume a B− rating.[97][98] When he gave volume 1 a C, he stated that 'you could do a lot worse'.[97] He felt that Season II has all the things that made the series good, but the attempt to reboot the series for the new semester caused it to lack intense feeling, reintroducing all the characters and going against weak enemies once again.[97] For the second volume, Santos was more pleased with the introduction of a major villain and the fanservice artwork in the lighter story, but lamented the lack of any visually threatening monster.[98]
Matthew Warner of Mania.com gave volumes 1 through 3 of Season II ratings between B+ and A−. In his review for volume 1, he felt the first part was a bit weak with 'predictable and bland stories,' but remarked positively on the volume's cover art and artwork in general, especially the character artwork.[99] For the second volume, he said it was better focusing on two stories and while noting the second story with Kokoa was weaker, it still delivers 'quite a few solid laughs' and helps develop her character.[100] In his review for volume 3, he stated while it starts out slow, he really enjoyed the story with Mizore, specifically the character development and seeing the characters put aside their disagreements for a common goal: to save Mizore.[101]
Leroy Douresseaux of Comic Book Bin gave volumes of Season II an A− rating. He opined the emphases on sexual innuendo, comparing it to Strawberry 100%,[102][103] and that the series is like The Addams Family mixed with X-Men: 'cool, creepy folks at a secret school where they can live and learn in a place free of the prejudice against them.' In volume 11, he changed his overall view and deemed it solidly a battle manga.[104]
YALSA included Rosario + Vampire, Vol.1 in its list of the 2013 Popular Paperbacks for Young Adults under the subcategory Boarding Schools to Summer Camps: Leaving home to find yourself.[105]
Notes[edit]
- ^The subtitle Capu2 comes from Kapu chuu(カプッchu, lit. 'bite kiss', also 'Capu chuu'), the sound Moka makes when she drinks Tsukune's blood. Ikeda, who coined the phrase, says that 'kapu' is the onomatopoeia of 'bite', and 'chuu' is a 'kiss'.[6]
