Hitsuji no Uta ( Song of the Sheep, or Lament of the Lamb )

















Review:

A great story which is disturbing and scary when I read it on manga series consist 7 volumes but not yet watch the anime series which consist of Four Episode.




Characters:

Kazuna Takashiro - Chizuna's younger brother. Afflicted by the same "vampiric" condition that's been passed down through the Takashiro family.

Chizuna Takashiro - Kazuna's elder sister. Not only does she have the blood-craving disease, she also has heart problems.

You Yaegashi - A member of the art club at Kazuna's school and has a crush on Kazuna.

Doctor Minase - Chizuna's doctor. A close friend of the Takashiro family since she was a small child. He has a scar on his left eye from the time Chizuna attacked him years ago. He has been in love and devoted to her for a long time but his affections were not reciprocated.

Doctor Shizuna Takashiro - Chizuna and Kaz
una's father. A doctor who spent years trying to find a way to cure the Takashiro disease (which affected his wife), and committed suicide a year before Chizuna reunited with Kazuna.



Story:

The story centers on Kazuna, an "average high school student" who starts to lose control at the sight of blood. This problem is traced down to him being a vampire, like his lost sister, Chizuna, who he now turns to for help.

Kazuna lives with his "aunt" and "uncle" (both of which are actually old friends of his father), after his mother died, and his father took Chizuna and left. Kazuna is friends with an aspiring artist named Yaegashi, who later learns about his condition.

Kazuna and Chizuna's father had committed suicide six months before the start of the (manga) story and trying to understand his suicide is one of the central plot of the story.
