Lil Miss Vampire Can’t Suck Right [Season 1 Episode 10]

Lil Miss Vampire Can’t Suck Right: Episode 10 – The Blood Drive Fiasco That Won Our Hearts

Let’s cut to the chase: if you’re here for edgy vampire lore or flashy fight scenes, Lil Miss Vampire Can’t Suck Right isn’t your vibe. But if you want 24 minutes of pure, unadulterated chaos wrapped in a chibi vampire’s frilly cape? Episode 10 delivers—hard.

First, let’s get the basics straight (thanks to that one MAL comment that actually talked about the show, not OPM drama). This slice-of-life gem, adapted from Kyōsuke Nishiki’s manga, follows Luna Ishikawa: a 15-year-old vampire who’s short, clumsy, and about as menacing as a rubber bat. Her biggest struggle? Sucking blood without face-planting into her victim’s neck. By Episode 10, she’s still failing miserably—but this time, her mishap involves a school blood drive, a juice box mix-up, and a gym teacher who thinks she’s just “really into donating.”

The episode’s core gag? Luna sneaks into the blood drive, determined to prove she’s a “real vampire.” Instead, she grabs a cherry juice box labeled “BLOOD TYPE: O” (thanks, prankster classmate) and chugs it in front of the entire student body. Cue the slow-mo shot of juice dribbling down her chin, her fangs glinting, and the gym teacher yelling, “ISHIKAWA, WE SAID ONE DONATION PER STUDENT!” The payoff? Luna’s rival, the stuck-up vampire transfer student, facepalms so hard you can almost hear it through the screen.

Now, let’s talk fan reactions—because honestly, that’s where this episode shines. Over on MAL, one user summed it up perfectly: “I went in expecting another generic vampire show and left cackling at a vampire panicking over a juice box.” Another called the blood drive scene “the funniest thing I’ve seen all season—reminds me of when I tried to sneak extra cookies at my cousin’s birthday party.” Even the haters (yes, there are a few) admitted: “Okay, the juice box bit was genius. Sue me.”

But here’s the thing that makes Lil Miss Vampire work: it doesn’t take itself seriously. The animation (by Happinet, the same studio behind that weirdly wholesome Fantasy Bishoujo show) leans into the chibi style—Luna’s round cheeks and wobbly walks make her clumsiness feel endearing, not cringey. The voice acting? Minami Tanaka (from Kakegurui) nails Luna’s mix of determination and panic, like when she whispers to her juice box: “Please don’t taste like cherry. Please don’t taste like cherry.” Spoiler: it does.

Critics might say it’s “too one-note,” but let’s be real—sometimes you don’t need a deep plot. You need a vampire who thinks a juice box is blood, a classmate who records everything for TikTok, and a gym teacher who’s low-key tired of all the supernatural nonsense. Episode 10 is a masterclass in that: it’s a 24-minute meme factory that leaves you grinning like an idiot.

Is it groundbreaking? No. Will it win any awards? Probably not. But if you’re a 2000s kid who grew up on Azumanga Daioh or Lucky Star, this episode hits that nostalgic sweet spot. It’s the kind of show you watch with your friends while eating snacks, pausing every five minutes to rewatch the juice box scene.

So, final verdict? Episode 10 of Lil Miss Vampire Can’t Suck Right is a must-watch if you need a break from all the “dark and gritty” anime out there. It’s silly, it’s wholesome, and it has a vampire who’s worse at being a vampire than you are at adulting. And let’s be honest—we all need that sometimes.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to rewatch the juice box scene for the fifth time. No shame.

Rating: 8/10 – Juice boxes > actual blood, fight me.
