From the Bookshelf: Irina the Vampire Cosmonaut 1

“Almost the countdown to Vostok 1... but with a teenaged girl vampire stuck on an unacknowledged test flight for the not-the Soviet Union” provoked a few amused “only in anime” thoughts. I did figure out, though, that Irina the Vampire Cosmonaut had been adapted from “light novels.” When I saw those novels had been translated into English, aware the anime hadn’t looked all that great I decided to take a chance on buying the story’s print version instead.
