Vampire Girl

Fate, something that people would spoke of lightly. But what really fate is? Is it just the meeting of two people? Or is it the coincidences happening together? Is it the death of someone? Or the new life from a new born human? Everyone has a different perspective of what fate is. How about you? What fate is for you? This is my statement after I’d read for the third time the manga by Kauro Fujiwara.

In this world, there are so many happenings that we can’t understand. We didn’t know many things. Just like the story of Kanna and Ren, a life where death and reincarnation took place. A love so deep that it soon ends up to hatred, an existence where you keep on waiting and a hunger just like a demon’s. I wondered, does something like this have had been happening to someone too? Maybe, somewhere out there, were people who wait for their love one to be born again and to be with them. I believe that there’s a possibility of the existence of immortal or the undead, someone who couldn’t die in a natural way like normal human being. If so, do they feel the same loneliness like of that what Ren and Kanna had?

I was really moved by this manga entitled “If you wanna break this world” also known as “Vampire Girl” for it was full of mystery, sorrow, pain, love and hatred. I’ve had read it twice a long time ago and for the third time I set my eyes to it, I had fully understood the story. The darkness within each of them that became the reason of their continuous existence, the love they had for each other that became the tool of their patience of waiting and the blood that quenched their hunger and for survival, all of it became clear to me after reading the story for the third time. This complicated yet beautiful manga of love and hatred left a deep impression into me. To those who like vampire stories, this manga would open a new understanding and a new side of their existence. I really liked the twist and the flow of the story even though it was dark and shady. A supernatural tragic tale about two lives continuously waited and searched for each other only to make their fate happened repeatedly. I like how the artist had drawn and portrayed the character as well.

If you would be in the same shoes of one of them, what would you do? Would you suffer endless loneliness and longing for that particular person to appear again? Would you extract the same punishment for something he had done even though you loved him? Would you do the same thing as what they did? Well, for questions like this to be answered by you, read and find out the deep mystery of the tale of the two vampire lovers, Kanna and Ren.
