Record of a fallen vampire has to be one of my favorites. the way you never really know whats going on or what will happen next really keeps me on edge every chapter! i want to know what happens next but i don't want it to end then i do to see whats going to happen because i'm completely surprised! it is a masterpiece. the main character strauss is a brilliant vampire who gave up everything he had in order to do something greater than anyone could imagine, not even the people closest to him knew exactly why he did the things he did and he just kept going on step more towards his master plan. I recommend this manga to anyone who enjoys psychological twists and turns. you will love it.
