[[File:ihavemorelovesinmylifethanmostpeopledopairsofsocks.jpg|frame|When a [[Love Freak]] starts
A [[Shoujo]] [[Manga]] by Nanae Chrono about a cyborg vampire named Charley who happens to be a vampire hunter for the Vatican. No, really. Since it's a sin to ingest the blood of a human, Charley lives off his master, playboy Johnny Rayflo, also a vampire. Cue [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]] and buckets of [[Ho Yay]]. The first four volumes are available in English from the now-closed [[Tokyo Pop]].
----
{{tropelist}}
* [[Anime Catholicism]]
* [[Anguished Declaration of Love]]: Sort of. Charley uses the lines of the Phantom Of The Opera - because it's, well, appropriate - to ''finally'' yell at Rayflo how much he loves him and can't stand him being with Barry (allegorically). Rayflo tries to brush it off but for once Charley is pretty damn persistent.
* [[Anywhere but Their Lips]]: Of all the places Charley kisses (and bites) Rayflo, none are on the lips. All the better to heighten the [[Ho Yay]]!
* [[Author Appeal]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|See picture.]]
** The author's surprised it worked.
*** And we love her for it.
* [[At the Opera Tonight]]: Charley is invited to one in Chapter 16. He and Rayflo even directly quote a few lines the [[Phantom of the Opera]].
* [[Attractive Bent Gender]]: Rayflo in chapter 2. And boy, does he get a [http://www.mangareader.net/506-29695-46/vassalord/chapter-2.html lot of stares] {{spoiler|At least that's what it looks like at first}}.
Line 20 ⟶ 19:
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: 86, who spends most of his days high as balls and is convinced angels are talking to him. Rayflo also has his moments.
** [[The Cuckoolander Was Right]]: The angels helped him track down Charley and Craig apparently.
* [[Cold
* [[Cowboy Cop]]: Craig.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Craig.
* [[Deal
* [[Destructo
* [[Double Entendre]]: Rayflo's nickname for Charley, "Cherry," is a reference to him being a virgin.
** Raylfo's countless "suck me"-type comments. Amusingly appropriate considering they're vampires.
Line 37 ⟶ 36:
* [[Girlish Pigtails]]: Cheryl.
* [[Gorn]]: The {{spoiler|rape scene / torture scene with Barry and Rayflo}} in Volume 3. Also see under [[Squick]].
* [[Green
* [[Half Identical Twin]]: Rayflo and Rayfell.
** Cheryl is basically a loli version of Charley, at least in appearance.
* [[Hemo
* [[Heroic Dog]]: Also a cyborg.
* [[Horny Devils]]: Barry. {{spoiler|From what Rayfell tells Charley, Barry's father, the original, seems to be some sort of great demon. Or [[Eldritch Abomination]].}}
* [[Humanity Ensues]]: Rayflo's cat.
* [[I Know Your True Name]]: Figuring out {{spoiler|Barry's true name, Belial}}, is what gives Cherry the power to defeat him. In order to do it, however, Rayflo has to {{spoiler|quote a passage from the Bible, which ends up [[Words Can Break My Bones|killing him.]]}}
* [[Intimate Healing]]: ''Vampiric'' Intimate Healing!
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: The original reason why Rayflo gave up Charley to the church when he was a child.
* [[Keet]]/[[Psychopathic Manchild]]: 86, type B. He even gets [[Blush Sticker|blush stickers]].
* [[Kiss of the Vampire]]: Sort of. Plus it's a vampire-on-vampire example.
Line 52 ⟶ 51:
* [[Lolicon]]: Rayfell and Cheryl's relationship has... shades of this.
* [[Mad Eye]]: This is 86's default expression. And when 86 gets serious, [[Beyond the Impossible|somehow]] his eyes [[Up to Eleven|get even more crazy looking!]]
* [[Making Love in All
* [[Meganekko]]: Charley and Cheryl, {{spoiler|neither of whom actually need glasses}}.
* [[Mile
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Rayflo.
* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: Charley's a ''cyborg vampire who works for the Vatican''.
Line 60 ⟶ 59:
** Charley also has a robotic rottweiler. [[Heroic Dog|He]] [[They Fight Crime|helps him fight crime.]]
* [[Older Than They Look]]: Charley is 145, Rayflo's hundreds of years older. Likely applies to almost all the vampires that appear.
* [[One
* [[Opposite
* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]: The first volume is peppered with references to Eastern European folklore, like the case of Arnold Paole, boneless vampires, krsniks and dhampirs. (Which was fortunately mostly [[All There in the Manual|explained, either in-manga or in the footnote page.]]) Rayflo has demonstrated the ability to walk around in sunlight and transform into a flock of bats, and sleeps in a coffin filled with dirt.
* [[Panty Shot]]: Rayfell. They were ''lacy.''
** {{spoiler|You get numerous of these in Chapter 15. Still lacy.}}
* [[Power Perversion Potential]]: Rayflo's regeneration powers have proven... useful.
* [[Rape
** Moresoever, there is heavy implication that for hundreds of years before hand, their relationship consisted of {{spoiler|Barry}} chasing after {{spoiler|Rayflo}} and repeatedly {{spoiler|violating, dismembering and torturing}} him when he caught him. It runs very close to [[And I Must Scream]] territory.
* [[Robot Maid]]: Rayflo's maids, sort of.
** Rayfell's too?
Line 78 ⟶ 77:
* [[Sinister Scythe]]: Cheryl uses one.
* [[Smoking Hot Sex]]: Rayflo has a habit of doing this. Of course, he seems to chainsmoke.
* [[Smoking Is Cool]]: Rayflo and Craig.
* [[Spotting the Thread]]: When Rayfell is pretending to be a genderflipped Rayflo, Charley finally figures out the ruse when she kisses him and he notices that she doesn't have Rayflo's forked tongue.
* [[Stalker
* [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]]: Rayflo and Craig. Rayfell too, despite being female.
* [[Technical Virgin]]: Charley {{spoiler|until chapter 13, which Rayflo happily points out}}.
* [[Undying Loyalty]]: There is quite a lot of this running around. Including the [[Cool Pet|pets/combat partners/servants.]]
* [[Vampires Are Sex Gods]]
* [[Visual Innuendo]]: Charley impaling Rayflo's torso with a huge phallic spiked rod, among many, ''many'' others.
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: Barry. We get to see him do it twice in Chapter 8. From male, to child, to female.
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: Rayflo always seems to have his shirt unbuttoned, if not completely off.
* [[White
* [[Wife Husbandry]]: Apparently Rayfell's plans for Cheryl, who seems to be quite happy with it as well.
* [[Words Can Break My Bones]]: Reading the Bible has this effect on vampires.
** {{spoiler|Rayflo actually does this to ''himself'' in Chapter 18, quoting the scripture to give Cherry a hint as to what Barry's true name is.}}
* [[Yandere]]: Dear god, Barry. With a liberal helping of [[Squick]].
* [[Yaoi Guys]]: Charley and Rayflo, duh. {{spoiler|Barry is a Yaoi Guy, and he probably thinks he's this with Rayflo, although it's not reciprocated.}}
