Black Rose Alice is about a man who loves a woman about be wed. Of course he cannot tell her how he feels as it would be very improper considering the time. He is spared all of this misery and grief when he gets kicked in the head by a horse and dies. Sadly for him he doesn't stay dead and is back up and is shortly back up and walking about. This is all thanks to a vampires spirit that has merged with his, making him a vampire. In all honesty I am not entirely clear on how that works but it is not that important. Since he was graced with all of these new vampire powers, like the ability to make people offer themselves as sacrifices/kill themselves when he sings a certain note, he decides to use them to woo he love to him. Of course everything goes horribly wrong and he must live with the unforeseen consequences. 
I am still on the fence with this manga series. I enjoyed the first volume and the developing of the characters and the start of the vampirism but the second volume was more flirty and romantic then I thought necessary. It was also borderline unbelievable or unrealistic. I think it still shows some promise as a series but if it doesn't get better soon I might have to abandon it.
