Karin's life is going well, but will her luck end with the return of her grandmother Elda?

As Kenta helps Karin study for her school exam, the two start becoming closer. But when Maki catches sight of them and asks if they are going out, Karin protests! She needs time, especially when she feels like she's starting to overcome her blood issues around Kenta. But a new problem is about to surface...and the odor is enough to make a vampire run to daylight! -- VIZ Media

Karin is a cute little girl who also happens to be a vampire--with a twist. She's a vamp with blood to spare, so rather than stealing blood from humans, she actually gives her blood to them.

Mystery, romance, and danger await two teen musicians as they take their act west in this continuing manga adventure series. Go West, young men! Simon and Monty have gotten some kicks on the way, perhaps even on Route 66, but in the end, all roads lead to San Francisco. The boys head to California to learn more about Monty’s family in the hopes that it will shed some light on their current situation—and maybe even help clear Jake McBride’s name. But with Yamada and Kyle hot on their heels, things look pretty dire. It’s hard to be mellow when a loony recording industry exec and his bad-girl sidekick are out to kill you.

This sports manga series continues as a German teen invites her quirky soccer team to spend the summer practicing in the Bavarian mountains. Fashion makes practice perfect! Anya’s quest to start the world’s first Gothic-Lolita soccer team has been given the official OK by the school principal! Her teammates are all excited, but when summer vacation starts, it seems that everyone also has very different plans—and they don’t include practicing. Then Delia comes up with the perfect solution: she invites the whole team to a cabin in the Bavarian mountains for a training camp. And so begins a very special summer for the Gothic Sports team . . . Praise for Gothic Sports, Volume 1 “The novel is part sports manga, part shojo school story, with more emphasis placed on relationships and fashion than sports. The characters are well drawn, but the background art is often starkly sparse. A good option for libraries seeking short manga series.”—School Library Journal “Hage . . . appears to have adapted many of the classic tropes of manga, while still maintaining an individual style that shines. The art is wonderful—a minimalist line-style coupled with a prudent use of tone. The wide range of emotions the characters display are wonderfully captured in the art and promises bigger and better things from this artist in the future.” —Otaku News

Karin's crush on Kenta has taken a turn for the worse. She seems to be falling deeper into the friend zone. Her monthly woes are putting a damper on her life.

Clueless Kenta is finally getting closer to figuring out that Karin has a secret crush on him. But everything explodes - literally! - when Kenta's grandmother hires a detective to track Kenta down and bring him back to their hometown. A case of mistaken identity turns tragic when Karin's family bans her from seeing the very person she can't live without! Will Karin finally be forced to confess her love? -- VIZ Media

Karin continues to come to terms with her feelings for Kenta, but her flirting will have to be put on hold for now. Karin's grandmother is in town, and that's enough to put her entire family into a panic. Elda Marker is no silver-haired, cookie-baking matriarch. She's a hot and heavy vampire vixen with a taste for blood, but a distaste for everything else having to do with the human race. So how can Karin possibly tell her about her new human almost-sorta-not-quite-boyfriend? It's going to be one freaky family reunion! -- VIZ Media
