Vampire Dormitory: Chapter 44

Masterlist.

No, that's not a typo in the title. I got paranoid the show was going to take a sudden swerve into Let's Be Normal Heterosexuals, and read the latest chapter of the manga to see where things are going.

And, well. "Normal" and "heterosexual" are not the FIRST words that come to mind...

After that I felt unable to react to the new anime episodes without mention of some manga stuff. So, here's a reaction to that first.

This post theoretically contains spoilers for the whole story, but by chapter 44 the manga has gone so far down a weird rabbit hole of new plot that the only current anime plotline that really gets spoiled is whether the main couple is together, and, in that respect it is very enjoyably conventional ;) Also some secondary characters don't show up in this chapter, which implies they may leave the story, but it's also possible they just happened not to be around.

Content note: SO MUCH DUBCON. No actual sex, but there are Vibes. Also the manga has some weirdly sexualised child-like characters which I will mention briefly.
