Please do not confuse this with Kamichama Karin. This is the manga which had an anime series after it by JC Staff and I think is licensed in English under the title “Chibi Vampire”. (Which is stupid as hell since Karin isn’t chibi nor a vampire wtf.) I figured I’d squash my review for both volumes into 1 post since they really focused on only 1 thing in both volumes. I’d also like to point out that I love this manga, and if you’re a fan of mushy lovey dovey stuff you should really get this. It’s not as fanservicy as the anime and focuses a lot more on relationships between Karin and her family and Usui Kenta rather than only on her nose bleeding all the time.

And so with this my Ragnarok Online II adventure comes to an end. So after playing RO2 for about 4 months I have concluded this is it for me and I’ll let the developers work on the game…and when it’s all fixed up with more content, I will welcome it back with open arms. After playing KRO and JRO I got a chance to interact with both the Korean, and Japanese players. Of course it was much easier in Japanese since I could actually communicate with people. It was a fun ride, although it got draggy towards the end when basically you got to the “end” of the game content that they let us beta testers play with.

Gung Ho had originally planned to release the game pay to play as of tomorrow, however because of the negative response from the players, they have decided to halt the release and take the game down for a rehaul. KRO beta is still running but they’ve not really added any new content so I have no plans to come back. Recently I got my hands on this Japanese paint program called “Paint Tool Sai” and I can’t stop drawing, so I’d rather occupy my time with that and prepare myself for Manga Next. RO2 has taken up most if not all of my summer and now it’s time to say goodbye. If you’d like to see my screenshot gallery for both the KRO and JRO betas, please go here.
