Rosario + Vampire II 23

A bishounen first year tries to recruit Tsukune into his family's crime syndicate.


Friend, lover, wife, mistress, plaything; Tsukune has it all... except a same-sex partner!

Summary:
Summer is over and Tsukune has returned to the Youkai Academy, but he is still thinking about the future after graduation. On the first day while walking to school with Moka, Tsukune is approached by a bishounen first year named Huang Fangfang who wants Tsukune to "join his family". Tsukune isn't ready for same-sex relations and runs to the Newspaper Club HQ with Moka. At the Club HQ, some of the members mention that Huang's father runs a powerful youkai crime syndicate which is actively recruiting new members. Fangfang arrives and explains that he wants Tsukune to join because Tsukune is strong. Through his sources, Fangfang knows that Tsukune and friends beat up some thugs in the real world and also took on Fairy Tale and credits Tsukune with all the accomplishments. Moka and the other girls refuse to hand over Tsukune because they don't want to lose him, but Fangfang suggests that Tsukune should join so that he can make all of the girls his wives. Some of the girls seem to be open to the suggestion, but Tsukune is not, and this forces Fangfang to use force.

Fangfang summons a yasha (a large winged snake) and chases Tsukune out of the school building. Yukari comes to Tsukune's rescue and dispels the summon, and she and Tsukune run to the storage room while Fangfang is busy summoning something else. In the storage room, Yukari tries to convince Tsukune to accept the Fangfang's offer and even resorts to using force. Tsukune and Yukari's struggle spews to the outside, and suddenly they see Fangfang and Moka running towards them with a phoenix on their tails. It turns out Fangfang had summoned an out-of-control phoenix and Moka just happened to be nearby. The phoenix wants to everyone dead and plunges its beak towards the group, but Tsukune is able to hold it off by using his ghoul powers. Moka runs to Tsukune's aid and states that she doesn't want Tsukune to join the crime syndicate because she thinks polygamy is wrong. The phoenix smashes its beak into the ground once again, but Tsukune is able to release Inner Moka in time for both of them to dodge the blow. The phoenix is unimpressed by Inner Moka, but it soon learns its lesson when Inner Moka delivers a hard kick to its face.

After the fight, Fangfang is as enamored with Tsukune as ever since he thinks Tsukune has control of Inner Moka. The rest the girls arrived dressed up to become Tsukune's harem but Inner Moka disagrees with polygamy. Kurumu teases Inner Moka about trying to keep Tsukune for herself, and Inner Moka is sufficiently embarrassed that she beats up everyone before leaving. Unfortunately, the fight with the phoenix did not solve anything and Fangfang continues to hound Tsukune.


Possible sign of affection? More like signs of an impending beat down.

Lol Tsukune now has a guy in his harem. This was one of those light comedic chapters of the series, and it was pretty ridiculous. I'm sure that there is a more serious meaning behind Fangfang trying to recruit Tsukune for his father's crime syndicate, but this chapter made everything out to be a joke. I'm surprised that so many of the girls are willing to share Tsukune in order to get a piece of him. I thought both Kurumu and Mizore wanted all of Tsukune. Yukari is just in it for fun and Ruby just wants someone to molest her, so they don't really count. Yukari had that scary serious face going in parts of the chapter, which seems a bit out of character for her.

More interestingly, Inner Moka is showing some signs now of having feelings for Tsukune, since she blushed before beating up everyone for their insubordination, which hints that she wants Tsukune to herself. The other possibility is that Inner Moka was acting for Outer Moka, but I think the first case is more likely.

Anyways, this chapter was literally a joke. Hopefully next chapter we'll get some real insight as to what Fangfang is trying to pull.
