History Manga / Vassalord

* {{UST}}: Boatloads between Charley and Rayflo, since despite their blood-drinking (and overall relationship) comes off as overtly sexual to the point of being YaoiGuys to the audience, they never actually shown to have done it, and don't seem to be ''together'' in a "couple" sense; Charley even talks about their bond in a familial sense at times (which it certainly was when he was a child), though the rampant sexual tension they carry regardless [[IncestSubtext might warp that]] during the present day. [[spoiler:''Finally'' resolved in the bonus pages of the last volume, wherein it seems they have sex along with Charley's usual blood-drinking.]]

* Tsundere: Charley, towards Rayflo.

A few DramaCDs have been released, and an {{OVA}} was produced and released along with Volume 7.

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 UnresolvedSexualTension and buckets of HoYay. The first four volumes are available in English from the now-closed {{Tokyopop}}.

* GreenEyedEpiphany: although Charley doesn't want to admit it (and is 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[[UpToEleven 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.

* OppositeSexClone: [[spoiler: Rayfell is this to Rayflo. The demon even created her from Johnny's rib as a twisted homage to [[Literature/TheBible the book of Genesis.]]]]

* DealWithTheDevil: see the above CompleteMonster entry.

* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: 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.

*** And we love her for it.

* CanNotSpitItOut

* DealWithTheDevil: see the above CompleteMonster entry.

* HalfIdenticalTwin: Rayflo and Rayfell.

* HumanityEnsues: Rayflo's cat.

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: The original reason why Rayflo gave up Charley to the church when he was a child.

* {{Meganekko}}: Charley and Cheryl, [[spoiler: neither of whom actually need glasses]].

* OppositeSexClone: [[spoiler: Rayfell is this to Rayflo. The demon even created her from Johnny's rib as a twisted homage to [[TheBible the book of Genesis.]]]]

** 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 AndIMustScream territory.

* SmokingIsCool: Rayflo and Craig.

* UndyingLoyalty: There is quite a lot of this running around. Including the [[CoolPet pets/combat partners/servants.]]

* WordsCanBreakMyBones: 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.]]

* GreenEyedEpiphany: although Charley doesn't want to admit it (and is [[BeyondTheImpossible 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.

* MadEye: This is 86's default expression. And when 86 gets serious, [[BeyondTheImpossible somehow]] his eyes [[UpToEleven get even more crazy looking!]]

* [=~Can't Live Without You~=]

* ColdBloodedTorture: Barry has an unfortunate fetish: [[spoiler:[[HighOctaneNightmareFuel torturing, raping and breaking Rayflo to pieces]].]]

* MakingLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces: In the back room of a church, in an airplane bathroom, in a prison-cell, in an opera house...

* HoYay: So, so much. The manga ''runs'' on this stuff. (And LesYay, for Rayfell and Cheryl.)

* FreudWasRight: Was he ever.

* FoeYay: Barry to Rayflo. And only Barry to Rayflo. Not the other way around.

* MakingLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces: In the back room of a church, in an airplane bathroom, in a prison-cell...

** FairCop: [[YourMileageMayVary Depending on your tastes]] he may [[EstrogenBrigadeBait count.]]

* SpottingTheThread: When Rayfell is pretending to be a genderflipped Rayflo, Charley finally figures out the ruse when she kisses him and [[FetishFuel he notices that she doesn't have Rayflo's forked tongue.]]

** YourMileageMayVary [[spoiler: But I believe 'the first time' that Rayflo points out in this chapter is that it's the first time Charley has fed in front of other people.]] Every other time they've been alone.

* CheshireSmile: 86

* CheshireCatSmile: 86

* {{Meganekko}}: Charley and Cheryl, [[spoiler: neither of whom actually need glasses]].

* spoiler: WordsCanBreakMyBones: Reading the Bible has this effect on vampires.

* AuthorAppeal: See picture.

** Acknowledged by the creator to be a sort of AuthorAppeal: She stated on the Japanese cover of the first volume that she basically threw together her favorite genres and character types and somehow made a manga out of it.
*** She's surprised it worked.
*** And we love her for it.

* [[spoiler: WordsCanBreakMyBones: Reading the Bible has this effect on "true" vampires who drink human blood. 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.]]
