Kuraku Naru made Matenai

Kuraku Naru Made Matenai is a romantic manga anthology exploring the complicated, often supernatural dilemmas of young love. In the opening story, Kahoko appears to be an elegant, parasol-carrying princess, but she secretly harbors a hidden identity as a half-vampire who is ironically terrified of horror films. She yearns for an ordinary romance with her beloved Komaba, yet every time their relationship deepens and her emotions swell, her fangs involuntarily emerge. Torn between her primal instincts and her human reasoning, Kahoko must navigate the agonizing struggle of loving someone while hiding her true nature. The collection continues with other tales of affection entangled with unexpected complications. Natsumi harbors feelings for her childhood friend Chihiro, only to find herself inexplicably biting his neck in vivid dreams. Meanwhile, Tomano Miya, who is constantly harassed by adult video recruiters, is rescued by her classmate Taku—though his heroic act comes with the ulterior motive of casting her in his own films, which supposedly possess the power to make any girl look ten times more beautiful. Finally, Megumi catches the attention of Rokurou, the popular captain of the swim team, after winning a contest. Left wondering whether his sudden interest is genuine or merely playful, she must decipher the true intentions behind his charming facade.
