When the daughter of a shaman gets strung up with a centuries-old vampire, is it love or something more sinister that binds them?
Discovered by Yen Press Senior Editor JuYoun Lee, NaRae was able to make her U.S. debut working on a series that already had legions of devoted fans. It's a lot to live up to, but NaRae proved to be up to the challenge by delivering artwork that looks remarkably polished for a relative newbie to the world of international manga publishing.
This story needs some strong trigger warnings. The whole premise surrounds bullying. Bullying, isolation, and self harm sadly move the story along. If it wasn’t for the bullying Naerim would never had found Fetechou and become his master. Yes, master. And this sweet vampire acts like her pet. He waits for her to get home from school and hugs her when she’s sad. It was weirdly cute. Like this vampire who wants to drink all her blood (because he does) is also her pet. There are other characters that move the story along, Jina (the main bully) and Hyo-Yelp (the other love interest). It was a perfect way to recharge and read something fun and different between books. I really liked the Korean feel to it and all the history and culture it had. I also really liked the main character. This was her story of survival and triumph after all that suffering. Thanks to an adorable vampire. Now the second part will be Fetechou’s turn. His maker just showed up with his biggest regret in life. Things are going to be interesting.

Although melodramatic and full of sentimentalism at certain points, this was surprisingly sweet and somewhat realistic. The main character grows from your stereotypical shojo heroine (plain, spineless, weak, and abused by everyone) to confident and social but this change doesn’t hinge on her abusive, rapist-in-anything-but-name love interest: he’s not abusive, and genuinely respects and cares for her, and while he supports her, her development and growth come mainly from inside herself. In a world full of webtoons like Under the Oak tree this was a refreshing find. I was annoyed when she trusts her former bully in the most stupid plot development I’ve seen, but the second volume makes up for this.
This was cute and weird and cool. It's about an ostracized and bullied teenage girl who winds up with a vampire as her slave. I loved how deeply Korean it was, both visually and thematically; there was a lot of Korean mythology and lore and culture, which was neat to learn about. I also loved that the NaRae Lee had (at least) two very distinct cartooning styles, neither of which I have the visual language to describe well, but both of which were highly stylized and must have taken incredible skill to execute. A fun and pleasant and fast diversionary read.
Strangely sweet, and not at all what I anticipated - I liked the art style quite a lot, and was pleasantly surprised to find a story that was less vampire kissy face and more a journey to adulthood and self-confidence. The characterizations felt a bit stock sometimes, and the comeuppance finale was a bit pat, but I liked it all the same.
Read S1 Episode 9
1) Volume 1: ★★★★★ 2) Volume 2: ★★★★.5 5 BRILLIANT STARS FOR PURE ENJOYMENT volume 1: chapters 1 - 44 hellooo?! if you regularly read manhwa and you haven't read this, what the heck have you been doing? 🤔 all aggressiveness aside, i VERY, VERY much enjoyed the first volume of this story. in Bloody Sweet (or Honey Blood), we follow Shin Naerim, an unconfident and excessively bullied high school girl, on her journey to self-love and adulthood... with a touch of magic and the supernatural. on one particular evening at a school trip, her bullies force her to go into a haunted house, where she meets a (~surprise, surprise~) vampire. things are, of course, never as they seem, and Naerim is about to learn just how much her life will change. as you can tell already, i am crazy about this manhwa. the romance is so, so sweet; the characters are all extremely endearing, and each of them have distinct personalities and styles. the male lead is puppy-like, affectionate, adorable, compassionate, emotionally open, and caring. Naerim, our MC, is very likable, relatable, and representational to how a regular person would act, with her struggles of self-hate and timidity towards certain aspects in life. speaking of self-hate, something to note is that a lot of the story will revolve around potential triggers such as depression, self-harm, bullying, self-hate, and similar subjects. these themes are very realistically portrayed and thus can be quite hard to see for some people, so proceed with caution. another thing to note is that the story does not solely focus on the characters' growths. even though it isn't as character-driven as i thought it'd be, i still tremendously enjoyed it. i was screaming my butt off or jumping up and down in my seat for every scene, and honestly, that's what should matter in a story - its enjoyment levels, not how good it was in this development or how terrible it was in that arc. so sure, this manhwa's got some flaws, but it was extremely entertaining and fantastic overall. though there was that tiny love triangle (and i usually HATE them), it was executed very well, and i didn't mind it much. i even got second lead syndrome for a few chapters! i'm happy i got to turn off my critical-reader brain and just enjoyed the story for what it was. well, what can i say? i'm a sucker for vampire romances ;)
This is a comic I would have liked to read when I was younger and still in school. I was bullied and made fun of up until highschool and its left a sour taste in my mouth that I didn't try to speak up for myself more. I hope this comic helps other youths that are struggling with bullying in school to learn to speak up and stand up for themselves. That they aren't useless and worth nothing. You don't know the ending until you keep on going.
Warning:this story has content that some people may find disturbing.cutting(just referenced not depicted), bullying, blood(obviously) & depression/suicidal thoughts.you have been warned. I seriously didn't expect a story about a high-school girl who is destined to be a moodang( Korean shaman) and a vampire to have such a depth.The social commentary on bullying stood out to me as it was very good and raised important questions.Also the bullying felt integral to the plot and didn't feel needless.But don't think this story is just a big pile of misery-no sir! Actually there are many funny and cute moments, too(especially when Fetechou is present).The romance between Naerim and Fetechou is soooo adorable. If I could describe Bloody Sweet in a nutshell:It is coming-of-age story that tackles themes such as bullying, romance, friendship, manipulation, family and religion plays a small role to the story, too. If you are into webtoons or graphic novels and you can handle the heavy material as described in the warning, reading this is highly recommended and the ending is worth it! So there is a vol.2 imma finish that one.Will be back.
Read Bloody Sweet Chapter 51 On Mangakakalot
Ini kisah seorang gadis remaja, murid SMA, yang merupakan anak dari Moodang (pengusir hantu). Kehidupan gadis bernama Naerim ini sejak awal sudah diperkenalkan bahwa dia adalah korban bully. Nah, berbicara masalah Bully di kelasnya ini, tidak ada satupun murid yang mengadukannya ke guru. Bahkan, banyak guru yang tidak tahu atau justru menutupi kenyataan bahwa Naerim adalah korban bully. Salah satu anak yang merupakan manipulator dan menggerakkan anak lain untuk merundung Naerim adalah seorang anak yang berpura-pura baik pada Naerim. Masalah perundungan ini cukup sadis bagi saya. Bayangkan, Naerim sampai dipukul dan mengalami luka-luka pada tubuhnya. Sementara itu, seperti layaknya korban perundungan, Naerim pun tidak mampu mengadukan apapun yang dialami olehnya. Apalagi, hubungan dengan Ibunya juga tidak begitu dekat. Bagi Naerim, kehidupannya sudah merupakan tekanan yang tidak pernah bisa membuatnya merasa nyaman. Meski dia sudah berusaha bersembunyi, tapi dia tetap menjadi korban penganiayaan di kelasnya. Suatu ketika, kejadian yang disengaja oleh kawan-kawannya, membuat Naerim membangunkan seorang Vampire yang dikunci di ruangan khusus. Vampire ini bernama Vlad Fetechou, yang sudah menjalani kehidupan abadi selama lima ratus tahun. Pertemuan inilah yang membuat Fetechou dan Naerim memiliki ikatan yang aneh, ada benang merah yang menghubungkan keduanya. Benang merah seperti apa? Romansa di cerita ini cukup manis, tidak berlebihan.
I love the whole idea of suddenly getting a vampire slave with the only exception being giving him blood occasionally. The male ML is so adorable and a lot like a puppy. (Cinnamon roll) the best there is! He's the best part of the story. The thing I don't like is the MC. She's extremely shy, self conscious, and gets bullied. I don't really care about the first two but mixed with the bullying it's annoying. She does everything that her bullies tell her
