[[File:ihavemorelovesinmylifethanmostpeopledopairsofsocks.jpg|frame|When a [[Love Freak]] starts ["[[Playing to The Fetishes"]]"]]
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}}
=== Tropes: ===
 
* [[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 -Blooded Torture]]: Barry has an unfortunate fetish: {{spoiler|torturing, raping and breaking Rayflo to pieces.}}
* [[Cowboy Cop]]: Craig.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Craig.
* [[Deal Withwith the Devil]]: see the above [[Complete Monster]] entry.
* [[Destructo -Nookie]]: Charley seems to think attacking Rayflo with assorted heavy weaponry counts as foreplay. Rayflo seems to agree.
* [[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 -Eyed Epiphany]]: although Charley doesn't want to admit it (and is [[Beyond the Impossible|STILL in a fair amount of denial about it]]), everytime Rayflo pays significant attention towards someone else or lets them feed on him, he tends to get very jealous. However, this is taken to a whole new level when Barry comes into the situation and he pretty much loses it at the thought of them together, despite the fact that he knows that Rayflo hates it.
* [[Half Identical Twin]]: Rayflo and Rayfell.
** Cheryl is basically a loli version of Charley, at least in appearance.
* [[Hemo -Erotic]]
* [[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 Thethe Wrong Places]]: In the back room of a church, [[Mile -High Club|in an airplane bathroom]], in a prison-cell, in an opera house...
* [[Meganekko]]: Charley and Cheryl, {{spoiler|neither of whom actually need glasses}}.
* [[Mile -High Club]]: Charley and Rayflo. Almost.
* [[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 -Man Army]]: [[Crazy Awesome|86.]]
* [[Opposite SexGender Clone]]: {{spoiler|Rayfell is this to Rayflo. The demon even created her from Johnny's rib as a twisted homage to [[The Bible|the book of Genesis.]]}}
* [[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 Asas Drama]]: {{spoiler|When Rayflo gets violently assaulted and dismembered by his old master, Barry.}}
** 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 Withwith a Crush]]: [[Implacable Man|Bar]][[Horny Devils|ry.]]
* [[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 -Haired Pretty Boy]]: Barry. Charley too, though he doesn't fit the usual characterization.
* [[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.}}
