From School Library Journal
Grade 10 Up–More than 100 years ago, an exorcist sealed Guilt-na-Zan into a cross. Kyoji, a descendant of the exorcist, brings the aristocratic vampire back as a female doll who must now act as his maid and serve him and his sister, Tonae. If Guilt-na-Zan imbibes a small amount of Tonae's blood, he can then become his true male form. When he is reunited with his servant, Vincent (now also a servant of Kyoji), the two are ordered by Kyoji to go to school with Tonae to protect her from an enigmatic demon named Dune who is sucking the wickedness out of her male classmates and quickly turning her school into a setting of a boys' love manga. This plot, with its twists and turns, offers little resolution or development. Moving at a frenetic pace, the story is disorienting and unorganized; comic strips that have little relevance to the story appear between many of the chapters and interrupt the flow of the narrative. Still, the goth-styled characters and vampire themes have appeal, and teens with interest in these areas will naturally gravitate toward this book.–Jennifer Feigelman, Goshen Public Library and Historical Society, NY

Lovely Goth type manga!,
By Lena LaFaye (Memphis,TN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vampire Doll: Guilt-na-Zan Volume 1 (v. 1) (Paperback)
I was attracted to this title by the cover first of all. When I read the back I knew it looked good. I must say as far has darker type manga art goes this book hit the mark! The art is wonderful and enjoyable to look at. The storyline is also enjoyable and interesting.
The plot is that a aristocratic vampire was sealed away into a cross by a exorsist. 100 years later that exorsist's great great grandson releases the vampires spirit into a doll. A human sized wax girl doll. Not only can the Vampire not do magic anymore but he must work for the exorsist who released him! This book is funny funny funny with good drawings. I label it a must have!!!

Highly recommended for anyone who likes comedy!,
By Cedric "Washu" (Palo Alto, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vampire Doll: Guilt-na-Zan Volume 1 (v. 1) (Paperback)
As much as I'm not a goth, not interested in vampires, could care less about dolfies, and ignore bishounen, I have to say Vampire Doll quickly became my most recommended manga on my comedy list. No emo-angst here -- Vampire Doll asks the simple premise: What if you were a modern-day Exorcist who'd rather design dollfies than clean the house (or take over the world)? That's right, resurrect a Vampire Count Lord to be the maid and put him into a really cute *girl* wax doll! (And give him appropriate magical powers, like summoning teddy bears, and conjuring sweets and cake. Yay! Cake!) Vampire Doll also has a strong cast of supporting characters. My own favorite is the Exorcist's black sheep brother who stole the family artifacts -- and found out, the hard way, that they were *all* cursed. Probably the only challenge to this manga is how it will maintain the crazy momentum of the opening pages. Shoujo and goth readers will love the art and bishonen. Everyone will love the comedy.

The Funniest Vampire Manga You'll Ever Read,
By WayneXtreme "Reading Fiend" (Indianapolis, IN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vampire Doll: Guilt-na-Zan Volume 1 (v. 1) (Paperback)
Vampire Doll is a Manga centering around a vampire, Guilt-na-Zan who was sealed into a cross 100 years ago by a very powerful exorcist. Now 100 years later, a descendant of the exorcist (Kyoji) has released the spirit of Guilt-na-Zan into the body of a wax doll created to look like his sister. Since it is modern times, the need for an exorcist has been drastically reduced so Kyoji has plenty of hobbies and has "employed" Guilt-na (his name when he is in "doll form") to be the family servant or else he'll be placed back in the cross from which he was released.
Now, Guilt-na-Zan has to put up with the doll form and the magical girlie powers that he has while in this form (instead of his normal dark black magic). However, not all is well, as Kyoichi (also known as Night Veil and Kyoji's older brother) repeatedly attempts to steal the cross that he believes to hold the Spirit of Guilt-na-Zan to use him to do his bidding. Kyoji uses Guilt-na to foil his brother's crazy schemes by allowing him to drink 1CC of blood from his sister Tonae, the blood of Tonae allows Guilt-na to transform into his "normal" self Guilt-na-Zan. There are several little adventures in this one little book, all pretty much following along the same lines of foiling Night Veil's very stupid schemes. This manga is almost bursting with all the comedy held inside of it, there's always something happening to make you laugh, there's a fair share of battles featuring Guilt-na/Guilt-na-Zan, and even some crazy villians in this story, including one who sucks the wickedness from people turning a school into a veritable love fest. If you love vampires and you love lots of comedy and crazy situations, then you will definetly love this manga.
