Reception
Faustine Lillaz of Planete BD described the story as having a good introduction and a realistic and intelligent tone, and praised Ohkubo's drawings, calling them very clever, and beautiful, which help to enhance the story. The third volume is sometimes difficult to understand with certain twists or sequences, and as of the fourth volume, the battles are well-paced, very violent, the two characters are attractive and stating "the story is therefore nervous, the graphics bring it to life with relative realism and the whole thing is extremely entertaining." Manga News does not consider the manga to be another vampire work based on Vlad III, but rather a historical interpretation of this man's life. Some elements in the second volume move a little too fast, but they feel a certain rigor and a somewhat dark atmosphere which contribute quite a bit to the immersion. In a review of the first two volumes, Manga Sanctuary praised Ohkubo's manga, described the first volume with a heavy atmosphere of conspiracy and power conflict and feels the palpable tension between the various heroes which they use calculated strategies to take down their opponents, stating that the manga is a very enriching and interesting read that makes the viewer fascinated by the outcome of the story with unimaginable curiosity. rated the second volume 9 out of 10; they called its historical story complicated In terms of rhythm, the volume follows a steady rhythm, events follow one another, the tension and stakes are building, which gives everything a haunting atmosphere.
