Yeah - I really liked this a lot all in all, and I’m not quite sure what to make of that.

It’ll be interesting to see how Zyugoya’s career goes. He’s in that sort of amateur ghetto - mostly posting ecchi/hentai to Pixiv and Fanbox - and he has a very rough and unusual style, but the few times now that he’s done complete series, they’ve actually been very good. The childhood friend one is still one of the best romances I’ve read in recent years, and this one was… oddly satisfying. He stretched it out into some really unusual territory, with the whole vampire hierarchy and political infighting thing - and then, as you note, tied it all neatly together. That’s an admirable feat, and I really enjoyed it.

He obviously has talent, but I would imagine the industry doesn’t quite know what to do with him.
