“Bloody”
Mary is not your typical vampire. He can withstand sunlight, holds a
reflection in mirrors, refuses to drink blood–and wants 17-year-old
student and priest Maria to kill him. But to Mary’s dismay, Maria
doesn’t know how to kill vampires. Desperate to die, Mary agrees to
become Maria’s bodyguard until Maria can find a way to kill him at last.
“BLOODY
MARY is a supernatural drama infused with suspense, cheeky humor and
unique characters. We invite shojo readers to catch the debut of VIZ
Media’s new release next month,” says Erica Yee, Editor.
BLOODY MARY creator Akaza Samamiya’s other manga works include Hatsukoi Canvas (First Love Canvas), Torikago Syndrome (Birdcage Syndrome) and Ouji wa Tadaima Dekasegichuu (The Prince Is Gone on Business), all of which have been published in the popular Japanese shojo magazine, Asuka.
