A Trope?
April 9, 2008 10:57 am Random Thoughts, Real LifeWarning: If you’re squeamish about the mentioning of blood… now would be a good time to look away. ^_^v Thanks~
Now, I’m not a fan of the Vampire genre but I have read 3 novels and 2 graphic novels that do indeed center on these “denizens of the night” (Hah! That was lame! XDD Sorry about that).
To be specific, that would be the Twilight saga by Stephenie Meyer, Vampire Knight by Matsuri Hino, and Midnight Secretary by Ohmi Tomu (Oh yes. I has read smut 8D).
I noticed the female leads in each story - Bella Swan, Yuki Cross, and Kaya Satozuki respectively - have one thing in common. Their blood is special. That it scent is “mouth-watering” and the taste is “sweet” (I think Bella is an exception of this because Edward is really fighting his urge to suck her blood unlike the other male leads in the series I mentioned).
So, people who are more well-versed in this genre, is this a trope among Vampire stories or am I reading too much into this? ![]()

I completely agree with that! You need a driving force for romance, yes? So what’s one thing vampires need and humans have? XD
Though I find Trinity Blood an exception to that rule, along with Hellsing. But they’re shounen, not shoujo manga. =D
