Diabolik Lovers

by Lily Zhang (edited by The Scholar Reviews)

The Diabolik Lovers anime series was made in 2013. It is based off of an Otome game called Diabolik Lovers ~Haunted Dark Bridal~ and a manga of the same name. The main character is a girl named Komori Yui. She is left by her father to give to vampires as a bride, but they cannot harm her. The six Sakamaki brothers names are Shu ,the oldest brother, the second eldest son Reiji, the third son Ayato, the fourth son Kanato, the fifth son Raito, and the sixth son Subaru. You can search on YouTube or Crunchyroll to watch the series . You can buy the books on Amazon at  the price of $5.00. Or you can buy the DVDs for $ 26.98.

I think this is a awesome tv series! It's about romance and murder/mystery, it mixes it all together and it makes you want to find out more about what the brothers are going to do next, as well as what Komori will do next. Is Komori really going escape this horror house? Or are the brothers going to find her and slash her down.

This is about a girl named Komori Yui. She is a regular 17 year old devoted Christian girl, until one day her dad tells her to go to the Sakamaki brothers house where she lives and obeys by their rules. The brothers will stop at nothing to obtain their strongest desire, Komori’s blood, even if it means imprisoning her forever. If she tries to run away they will find her and bring her back to her room and make her think about what she did, or suck her blood until she faints.

The characters in the story are Shu, Reiji, Ayato, Kanato, Raito, Subaru, and Komori Yui. Yui’s personality is shy,submissive and obedient if forced. Since this anime was based off an otome game, she dosen’t change or grow as a character, but acts as the “Bella Swan” character. Shu is very laid back, relaxed, cool guy. Reiji is very serious always wants to do better then eldest son Shu, acts like he's the oldest makes everybody listen to him, but most of them listen to the oldest brother. Ayato is very cheeky mischievous and surprising. Kanato is very kind, sweet acts like the youngest child like he will never grow up always carries his teddy around kind of twisted when he gets mad it's like he turned into Satan. Raito is the lustful type of guy and calls Komori little all the time. Subaru always acts cool even though he's the youngest and he gets really aggressive when people speak over top of him.

I think that this is a great series and everyone should watch it. It has good characters, and an interesting plot. It’s a fun, scary series that’s perfect for Halloween. A word of warning however, as the amine is 14+ and may disturb some more faint-hearted viewers. There is also a new season, Diabolik Lovers More, Blood, airing currently, so if the show interests you, there is more content on the way.
