I read part of this years ago, so it was nice to be able to get ahold of the whole thing and in print form now. Priest x vampire certainly isn't a new combo, but the "vampires can live off any human fluid" (in this case cum) was a new and interesting take that I haven't seen done elsewhere. Though now I wonder if that makes him more incubus then vampire? It's yaoi, and one with more porn than plot to it, but still enough plot to create emotional investment in the characters and their motivations. It uses a lot of Catholic motifs and language, yet noneof the nuns/bishops/priests seem to have any issues with the openly gay relationship or the main priest's lack of celibacy. I'm not big on the raising your future lover aspect (even if it wasn't intentional) or the amount of both of them continuing despite the "no"/"stop" from the other (at least it wasn't one sided I guess?), but overall those aspects didn't bring the overall book down too much. I think the implied budding relationship between two of the side characters, one of which was very clearly a young child, was completely unnecessary and detracted from the larger unrelated issue that the characters were facing at the moment though. The art was appealing and given that it involves vampires, I'll probably read it off and on again in the future.
Alucard, known by "Al" for short, is a vampire who has been raised by a priest, You. Providing Al the fluids he needs to survive has created an unusually close relationship between the two, but what will become of their partnership as You's mortality catches up to him? (Source: Tokyopop)
