A Vampire in the Bathhouse by Niko Izuki

 


Luka, a vampire, hears about the amazing services at the Full Moon Bathhouse and surprises its whole crew by popping up unexpectedly (and naked) one day. After using Sakura's one of the family members who runs the bath blood to stabilize his magic, Luka reveals that he and Sakura now have a Pact, and he's there to stay!

This was just way too cute! While it would be adorable if it was just about the members of Sakura's family (which basically includes Luka and Pequeno a demon familiar) by the end of the of the manga what makes it truly heart warming is the sense of community created. It isn't just those at the Full Moon bath that welcome several demons but the entire town. Add in that it immediately declares itself an LGBTQ+ read, plus some gorgeous art, and this is easily one of my favorite manga reads this year so far!

Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun little slice of life read!

As always, thanks to NetGalley and Kodansha Comics for the eArc!
