hi, so i was able to stumble on something really interesting: an interview with the vampire one volume manga adaptation called "yoake no vampire" that came out shortly after the original movie did in 1994. as an adaptation it's very faithful to the book, just really condensed.

the first two chapters got scanlated into english from japanese 13 years ago, but the last one never was. unfortunately the japanese raws of the thing are no longer online but i was able to find a portuguese scanlation of the last chapter. i ended up doing what i would call "edited machine translation" on it (consulting a portuguese version of the original book to cross reference translations since a lot of dialogue was taken directly, checking dictionaries to confirm translations, redrawing some parts, etc). it's not perfect but i think it makes sense from beginning to end.

would people still be interested in me sharing? i would also include the portuguese "raws" of course (the translation group is defunct now but with credit to them ofc) i figured it might be a fun treat for anyone who's already read the book while we wait for the later episodes of the amc show (but also just for book!iwtv fans).

below are example pages (not in order)

pov you just propositioned a threesome to your geriatric ex who you wiped the memory of (to erase all recollection of your psychosexual trysts with him when he was younger) while also not technically holding him captive in your skyscraper in dubai and he said no :/

the loumand divorce is actually FUNNIER in the book, which i had the absolute pleasure to read earlier. if youre not aware, heres how it happens:

>louis is eating grass

louis: saw lestat the other day

armand: the other day?

louis: like. a month ago.

armand: ...

armand: wish you told me that when jt happened. did you guys uh... talk about anything? in particular?

louis: not really

armand: i could not have- wait what?

louis: idk. we didnt really talk about much

armand: not even the fact that im the one who killed claudia??

louis: nah

armand: ???? omg. you are so fucking annoying. ill tell you what, i honestly just thought youd get over it and be back to normal so that we could be together. i didnt know me killing your daughter would effect you so much. you are so fucking dramatic

louis: uh huh

armand: aight. okay. we're done with this. im gonna go make out with lestat

[nightcolorz]

the little moment where Louis is showing the French guy his photography and he’s analyzing the meaning of his work and he interprets Armand in the photo as “having a vulnerable quality” and Louis immediately becomes uncomfortable and pushes back, and the French guy is like “it was a happy accident then u captured his soul” holy shit that kicked me straight in my balls. Like Louis wants so badly for Armand to be the master that will guide him in his vampiric existence that lestat was not and this episode was him realizing that he isn’t that and can not be that for him and he is now trying to reconcile that sense of safety. the change Louis goes through where he begins in his relationship with Armand hoping the strong coven leader will lead him in his new life and then in this new episode, coming to the realization that Armand is vulnerable and looking to be lead and so he changes course and assumes his defensive pimp ass persona to take advantage of that to still leverage the relationship as security. Just two guys who feel like they r drowning taking on leadership personas to stay afloat while actively trying to get the other to tell them who they are. Y’all this is why bottom x bottom is so scary stay safe

Interview with the Vampire Manga Adaptation (Yoake no Vampire) by Udoh Shinohara + DL Link

DL LINK HERE

Happy new episode of IWTV AMC day! Today though, I want to share something I've teased earlier on my blog, which is the Japanese manga adaptation of the Interview with the Vampire gothic horror novel. See under the cut for more details!

It came out in 1994, a bit after the movie, but it only referenced the book itself. It consisted of a single volume made up of three chapters, so events are condensed and abridged, and it skips Part II in Eastern Europe. The first two chapters were scanlated into English by a group named Trine and distributed on the aarinfantasy forums in 2007, but the third chapter was kind of lost to time, especially after all the links to the raw Japanese scans went down years ago. However, I discovered that a now defunct Portuguese scanlation group did the whole thing (individual credits included in the .zip), and I was able to recover chapter three, use heavily cross-checked and edited MTL (PT-ENG), and deliver the final product to you all. See more notes about this process or where to read the PT version in the readme file included in the .zip! It's not 100% perfect and I would not call it true 'scanlation' obviously, so if anyone can do a better job I welcome them to! I hope more visibility on this manga makes the raws become available again so a true JPN-ENG translation can be done on the last chapter!

This manga obviously has major IWTV book spoilers, but it does NOT include anything from later books in the series and is honestly quite faithful overall. It even includes Lestat's father. I might actually call it slightly gayer than the book, since Louis and Armand become more obviously in love. I would recommend it to anyone who's watching the series and hasn't read the book yet, as well as to anyone who enjoys the books alone! The art style is very 90s, but it has some really beautiful visuals sometimes, especially with Claudia. I hope everyone enjoys reading it!
