Chanto Suenai Kyuuketsuki-chan [Episode 10]

Li’l Miss Vampire Can’t Suck Properly: Episode 10 Review – When Cute Meets Quiet Chaos

Let’s cut to the chase: if you’re here for over-the-top vampire action or dark drama, Chanto Suenai Kyuuketsuki-chan (aka Li’l Miss Vampire Can’t Suck Properly) isn’t your show. But if you live for that warm, fuzzy feeling of a slice-of-life rom-com where the “vampire” part is just a quirky accessory to awkward teen crushes? Episode 10 is exactly the cozy vibe you need.

First, let’s set the scene—because if you’re new to Luna Ishikawa’s world, you’re in for a relatable disaster. Luna’s the cool, mysterious transfer student with all the vampire tropes: pale skin, a penchant for black, and a “I don’t care” stare that makes the whole class swoon. But here’s the twist: she’s terrible at being a vampire. Like, can’t-even-sneak-a-sip-of-juice-without-spilling-it terrible. Enter Tatsuta Ootori, your average high school guy who’s so unremarkable, he blends into classroom walls. Their dynamic? Think “cool girl who’s secretly a mess” meets “nice boy who’s too nice to point out the mess.” And Episode 10 leans into that chaos hard.

The episode kicks off with the pair stuck doing cleaning duty together (classic anime setup, but hear me out). Luna’s trying to act all suave—floating a broom with her “vampire powers” (spoiler: it’s just a trick with string) while Tatsuta’s over here panicking because he accidentally knocked over her “special tomato juice” (read: blood substitute that’s very important to her). The internet’s been losing it over this scene, and for good reason: the comedy’s so low-stakes, it feels like hanging out with friends who are bad at adulting. One fan on MyAnimeList summed it up perfectly: “Luna’s ‘I’m a powerful vampire’ act vs. Tatsuta’s ‘please don’t let me break anything else’ energy is the funniest thing I’ve seen all week.”

But it’s not all jokes. Midway through, Luna has a tiny meltdown because she can’t “suck properly” (her words, not mine) during a practice session with a blood bag. Tatsuta, ever the sweetheart, doesn’t laugh—he just hands her a straw and says, “Maybe start small?” Cue the blushing. This moment’s why fans are obsessed with their relationship: it’s not about grand gestures. It’s about the quiet stuff—like someone seeing your flaws and going, “That’s okay. Let’s figure it out together.” Another comment hit the nail on the head: “Tatsuta doesn’t treat Luna like a ‘vampire’—he treats her like a girl who’s trying her best. And that’s way more romantic than any sparkly vampire nonsense.”

Visually, the episode’s a feast for anyone who loves soft, pastel art. Luna’s black uniform pops against the school’s sunny hallways, and the animators nail those little, awkward expressions—like when Luna’s eyes go wide because Tatsuta complimented her hair, or when Tatsuta’s face turns bright red after accidentally touching her hand. It’s the kind of art style that makes you want to screenshot every frame and use it as a phone lockscreen.

Now, let’s talk about the ending—because it’s the perfect mix of cute and “wait, what?” Luna finally musters up the courage to “suck” something properly… but it’s not blood. It’s a lollipop. And not just any lollipop—Tatsuta bought it for her because he noticed she likes sweet things. She takes a bite, looks at him, and says, “This is… better than blood.” Cue the class gasping (they’re low-key shipping this too) and Tatsuta turning into a human tomato. The final shot? Luna grinning like an idiot while holding the lollipop, and Tatsuta hiding his face behind a broom. It’s cheesy, it’s corny, and it’s so endearing.

Is Episode 10 groundbreaking? No. Does it add anything revolutionary to the vampire genre? Probably not. But here’s the thing: it doesn’t need to. This episode is about finding joy in the small, messy moments—like a vampire who can’t suck, a boy who can’t stop blushing, and two people who are slowly realizing they might actually like each other. As one fan put it: “It’s not about being cool. It’s about being real. And that’s why this show works.”

If you’re in the mood for something that feels like a warm hug after a long day, Episode 10 of Li’l Miss Vampire Can’t Suck Properly is it. It’s funny, it’s sweet, and it’s the kind of anime that makes you smile even when you’re rolling your eyes at the cheese. Luna and Tatsuta’s journey isn’t over yet—but if this episode is any indication, the rest of the season is going to be full of more awkward dates, more failed vampire attempts, and a whole lot of heart.

So grab your favorite snack (maybe a lollipop?), curl up on the couch, and hit play. Trust me—you won’t regret it.

Final Verdict: 8/10. Cozy, cute, and chaotic in the best way. Luna and Tatsuta’s cleaning duty adventure is the kind of episode that sticks with you long after the credits roll. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to rewatch that lollipop scene for the tenth time.
