Rosario + Vampire

Rosario + Vampire is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Akihisa Ikeda.  Tsukune Aono is a normal high school freshman that is unable to get into any private school due to his poor grades. However, with help from his parents, he gets enrolled to private school called Yokai Academy. When he arrives at this school he note that Yokai Academy is a secret schools for supernatural monsters and mythological criatures disguise as humans, that’s why if any human who find out  it will be killed without mercy. Also when he arrives in this academy he met this girl called Moka Akashiya who turns out to be a vampire attracted to the sweet taste of his blood, sometimes biting Tsukune on the neck when the chance seems right. Tsukune soon discovers that when he removes the rosario around Moka's neck, she transforms into her true vampire form (her true personality is sealed, the kind Moka being an artificial person), being stronger and more powerful than almost any other creature at the school, and Tsukune is the only person who can physically remove it to transform her.Tsukune becomes involved with other students who start out as enemies but who are won over into becoming his friends: Kurumu Kurono, a busty succubus; Ginei Morioka, a perverted lech of a werewolf who is a second-year student and president of the school's Newspaper Club; Yukari Sendo, an eleven-year-old witch; Ruby Tojo, a witch from the human world, and Mizore Shirayuki, a yuki-onna who stalks around Tsukune, believing them to be soulmates.

Later on in the second manga serialization, Kokoa Shuzen, Moka's younger half-sister, appears, and as time goes on, they discover dangerous organizations like the Anti-Schoolers and Fairy Tale, and must do battle against them to keep the school and both the monster and human worlds safe, and Tsukune starts to undergo changes that will truly solidify his role as the link between the human and monster worlds.

My Draws

     

Elfen Lied

Elfen Lied, one of my favorite animes. On the picture shows you Lucy, who is a diclonius girl, around eighteen years old. Lucy has four vectors with a limited range, and capable of stopping or deflecting most standard ammunition when she concentrates on the task.

Lucy hates humans mainly because of how she was alienated by her human peers as a child, several of whom she eventually killed after they captured a puppy which Lucy had been caring for and beat it to death in front of her. Also she killed Kouta's family, he's is the boy that she loves. She cries and apologizes for killing his family in a fit of jealously, she believes he will be content without her existence. Lucy still is not above acts of jealously, once using her vectors to shove Yuka when she saw her holding  hands with Kouta.
