Midnight Secretary, vol 4

18143743

Today’s post is on Midnight Secretary, vol 4 by Tomu Ohmi. As it is the fourth in the series you need to have read the first three volumes to understand the story. The cover is yellow with Kyohei and President Takasu on it. There is mild foul language, sex and sexuality, and no violence in this volume. The intended reader is someone who likes josei manga, vampire love stories, and manga. The story is told from the first person close of the main character Kaya. There Be Spoilers Ahead.


From the back of the book- Kyohei has left the family firm to start his own business, and Kaya is at his side as his indispensable secretary...but only at night. By day she’s still the executive secretary for Erde, a subsidiary of the company Kyohei just quit. The increased workload isn’t a problem, but when the president of Erde discovers that Kaya is seeing an ex-Tohma Corp executive, he starts to question her professional ethics! Will being a vampire’s secretary put an end to her career?


Review- Kaya this volume is forced to make a choice between her career at the two places that she is currently working. Of course she goes on to become CEO Kyohei executive secretary for his new company, which is not really separate from his family's old company, but it is still something that he is still branching out to do on his own. Also they are starting to really have to deal with the discrimination that they face a vampire and a human being involved more deeply than just food and sex. Kyohei of course is being ridiculous and stubborn, Kaya is not helping by pretending that her feelings do not run deeper than they do. With an old friend of Kyoheis’ coming around more frequently now Kaya is going to have to deal with her feelings if she wants to be satisfied in her life at all. Of course as this is a romance I fully expect the two of them to end up together at the end but with only three more volumes to wrap up the series I am sure that the author will have lots of trouble for them to get into between now and then. 


I give this manga volume a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
