I'm still liking the story quite a bit. I found out that there's been two novels of this series already and that a drama CD is being produced, set to be released in July! This would probably be a good series to get animated.

As always, colored first page, and some mini-comics involving the author.

6. 健太の疑問と少女の言葉〜Doubt〜 (Kenta's Doubt and The Words of the Girl): Kenta's has his suspicious that she's a vampire and he tries to subtlety suggest that he knows. In front of Karin, he starts reading a vampire book. However, Karin doesn't reveal anything. Later, Anju, Karin's little sister, tells Kenta not to investigate her any further.

7. 杏樹の狙いとかんりの真実〜Plot〜 (Anju's Goal and Karin's Reality): On her way back from school, Karin gets accosted. Kenta comes and saves her. She's grateful, but she suddenly has her urge again. The next day, he tries to avoid Kenta. That afternoon, thinking that the scene is clear, she makes her attack and bites a depressed schoolgirl. However, Kenta catches her red handed. Anju had given Kenta some clues so that he could find Karin.

8. かりんの涙と健太の自尊心〜Pride〜 (Karin's Tears and Kenta's Pride): Flashback to the previous incident when Karin had bled all over in front of Kenta. Anju said she tried to erase his memories, but wasn't there in time. However, she also has some trust in Kenta and was the one that allowed Karin to be seen. Kenta and Karin, who is wailing, talk a bit about her real identity.

9. かりんの惑いと杏樹の提案〜Propose〜 (Karin's Confusion and Anju's Proposal): After the incident, Karin's brother appears, almost ready to beat up Kenta, but Anju stops him. At home, they talk some more about Kenta and how he could possibly be Karin's partner. Meanwhile, Kenta's mom is hyped about starting work again, this time at a love hotel. Karin comes over to Kenta's house and invites him over.

10. 健太の事情と親の審判〜Judgement〜 (Kenta's Situation and The Parent's Judgement): Kenta visits Karin's eccentric parents who seem to approve of him, but make him promise not to let their secret out. After that, Kenta's and Karin's relationship seems to be a little better. She doesn't try to avoid him anymore.
