3	-> ''"There was once a vampire aristocrat who ruled the night in Europe. Amongst his dark powers were the abilities to control the beasts of the earth and call thunder from the sky. For years we struggled to destroy him by borrowing God's power. At last, we were able to seal his soul in a cross." So says the record of the exorcist Kyoeisai Yotobari.''

5	Written and drawn by Erika Kari (who happens to like [[AuthorAppeal pretty boys in frilly clothes]]), this manga is a hell of a lot more light-hearted than it seems from the opening quote. The manga revolves around Guilt-na-Zan, a vampire whose soul was sealed into a (female) wax doll and forced to become a servant to the descendant of the man who sealed him in the cross in the first place. Throw in a [[{{Shinigami}} Death God]], evil spirits, and a bat-man, and [[HilarityEnsues watch the hijinks ensue.]]

7	The manga ran in the {{josei}} magazine ''Monthly Comic Zero Sum'' from 2003 to 2008, and was compiled into six volumes. It was licensed in English by Creator/{{Tokyopop}}.
8	----
9	!!This manga presents examples of:
10
11	* AmbiguouslyGay: Most of the main male cast.
12	* AmusingInjuries: Kyoichi gets these all the time, thanks to being featured as the resident ButtMonkey.
13	* BreakingTheFourthWall: They acknowledge how time passes differently in manga and out, comment on how the artist hasn't used a costume for a while, and sometimes even talk directly to readers. [[NoFourthWall Come to think of it...]]
14	* BrilliantButLazy: Kyoji, who often lounges around the house doing nothing, even though he has a HELL of a lot of talents.
15	* BrotherSisterIncest: At least, on Kyoji's part towards Tonae.
16	* ButtMonkey: Kyoichi tends to become this thanks to Kyoji. Vincent, on a smaller scale. Also, any and all "villains" will fill this role at one point or another.
17	%% * CastFullOfPrettyBoys
18	* CloudCuckooLander: Tonae. The girl's pretty oblivious to all the supernatural stuff that goes on. Vincent as well... sometimes.
19	* CuteLittleFangs: Guilt-Na has these.
20	* DefeatMeansFriendship: Most, if not all, the people that Guilt-na-zan defeats.
21	* DepravedHomosexual: Those two hairdressers. [[BrainBleach Oh geez...]]
22	* ElegantGothicLolita: Guilt-Na's regular maid outfit.
23	%%* MrFanservice
24	* FirstLawOfGenderBending: Indeed, things do seem to follow this law. [[spoiler: Subverted, however, in the very last chapter.]]
25	* FriendlyNeighbourhoodVampire: Guilt-na-Zan would be one, if not for the fact that he was turned into
26	* GenderBender: Guilt-Na.
27	* HeelFaceTurn: Played for comedic effect, like everything else. Vincent in the very first volume. [[spoiler: Fahrenheit]] in the fifth volume.
28	* HarmlessVillain: Kyoichi. Just Kyoichi... [[ButtMonkey poor guy.]]
29	* HimeCut: Moegi.
30	* IdiotBall: Kyoichi. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] more than once by his brother.
31	* ImpossiblyCoolClothes: Everyone has these.
32	* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Tonae and Vincent. So much so that Dune will lose his energy if he tries to use his special power on them.
33	* LampshadeHanging: Used quite a number of times, whether to try and correct Guilt-Na on how a maid should act, why Kyoichi is an idiot, or any other dumb situation.
34	* LoveTriangle: Possible one between Shizuka, Dune, and [[spoiler: Fahrenheit]].
35	* ManipulativeBastard: Kyoji, to an INSANE degree.
36	* {{Meido}}: Guilt-Na is technically one, but tends to try and shirk her duties. She gets pretty good at it by the end though.
37	* MundaneUtility: Although Guilt-Na was originally depressed that her ability to cast destructive magic has been replaced with the ability to [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway conjure cakes and other confectioneries]], as the series progresses she was shown perfecting her new abilities and she would use them whenever dessert is required.
38	* NoFourthWall: There never was one. The characters all talk to the reader A LOT.
39	* {{Omake}}: And they're pretty funny, too.
40	* PimpedOutDress: Most of the female cast has worn one of these at least once.
41	%%* RapidFireComedy
42	* RealMenWearPink: Kyoji sews, make dolls, wears ruffles, and still manages to be extremely badass.
43	* ScaryShinyGlasses: Kyoji at certain points.
44	* SleepModeSize: Dune takes the form of a teenage boy when he runs out of energy.
45	* TeamMom: Guilt-Na feels like this by the end of the series.
46	* TwinTelepathy: Kyoji and Kyoichi exhibits this occasionally.
47	%%* VampiresAreSexGods
48	* VillainsOutShopping: Or rather, just one villain. Poor Kyoichi, already a ButtMonkey, is discovered in regular clothes, just shopping regularly. Doesn't exactly add to the evil factor, now, does it?
