review:
'Sweet Blood, Volume 1' by Seyoung Kim is my first experience with manhwa, which are basically Korean style manga. The stories can be just as weird, apparently.

Suho is a high school student, but, at first, it's not clear whether this character is male or female. This causes some confusion as you are reading it, but I think that's intentional. Suho is visited by a creature of the night who seems to like his blood. When that creature kidnaps Suho and carries him off to it's lair, Suho has to pretend to be a female or risk losing his life. Apparently the creature, or vampire, is attracted to women, but repulsed by men. As long as Suho can pull this off, and his blood remains full of flavor, then he can stay alive.

It's just a weird premise for a story. It's kind of funny, but then there is a kind of horror element over the whole thing. Suho doesn't seem to care if he is a boy or a girl, but worse, he doesn't seem to care that he is the bloodbank for a vampire. The art is good, but I just didn't care for the story.

I received a review copy of this manhwa from Diamond Book Distributors, NETCOMICS, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this manhwa.
