A very well written vampire yaoi and what's more, there's more to come! The story has action, humor and of course, yaoi. The artwork is geat as well which is another plus.
 Has Action and Comedy September 16, 2008

My first impression was that I liked it. Charlie is technically a hit-man that kills vampires, though he himself is one. His food source is Rayflo, another vampire. I am also not sure where Raylfo gets his. If it's from people he attacks wouldn't Charlie have an obligation to kill Rayflo? I liked the action, though it's hard to follow the fight scenes.
Also, I don't think can qualify as yaoi, as of yet, if you're hesitant to get this because of any indication it may be. There is no male-male interaction of any graphic nature in this volume, though some may say two vamps sucking on each other should qualify. If you've read what truly qualifies as yaoi you know what I mean by graphic nature.
Overall if you're into the vampire genre, with a comedic moments, you should like this one.
Funny and worth reading!!! August 20, 2008

Honestly, initially i wasnot sure whether i should buy it in the first place though i have seen the anime Peace maker. Could Vassalord be consider as yaoi? i seldom buy yaoi manga with the exception of seeing anime fake and gravitation. This manga is certainly worth the buy and has good story line and art work!!! Im sure to look out for the next volume!
A Guilty Pleasure July 25, 2008

This is as far deviated from Nanae Chrono's Peace Maker series as you could imagine. It was the mangaka's name attached to it that made me look twice, plus it's a vampire story....what's not to like. Then once I saw some of the artwork I had to order it. That said, Vassalord is like a guilty pleasure to me. I'm not sure how much substance it will have, but it has a LOT of style. It's certainly worth a look. I'll definitely be ordering volume 2.
A welcome surprise. July 18, 2008

I'll be honest and say that I had not even heard about this title until I saw it here and bought it solely based on the beautiful cover. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised with the story and will continue to collect. If you like vampire stories, then this is for you. The BL elements of the story are not over the top (merely implied, as with any vampire scenario), but do add humor and make the dialogue a lot more sexy. So far, I do not perceive a definite plot, instead the chapters are episodic and interesting by themselves. Beautiful art and attention grabbing, imaginative situations make this a must have.
