After much thinking, I've decided to add a Larva Faq list to this shrine, just so everyone who wants to know something about Larva can understand him better too! If you have any questions you'd like to ask, or if I answered a question wrong, drop me a line!

Now, onto the questions:

<< 1: How did Miyu force Larva to join her / go willingly with her? >>
Asked by idunno4got@hotmail.com

Miyu was half human half vampire (her mom's a vampire but her dad's a human) so she has vampire powers in her, and she's fated to become a vampire one day, though her mom doesn't want her to. When Larva tried to drink her blood and kill her, she was in the stage where her powers can awaken. The thought of blood awakened her vampire nature, and she was able to overpower Larva quickly and drink his blood because he wssn't expecting that. She immobilized Larva, then drank his blood instead. That bonded him to her, (he knows her feelings,a dn vice versa). At first he was forced to, but when he understood Miyu better, he joined her because he wanted to. In the OAVs, because he failed in his mission, he was forced to always wear a mask that would prevent him from speaking and never take it off. In the manga and TV series, he can speak take it off whenever he wants, and it's prolly just a symbol of his bondage to Miyu.

<< 2: So he watched her grow? And so it was pity that stopped him from killing her? >>
Asked by idunno4got@hotmail.com

Larva was supposed to kill Miyu when she was younger, not thirteen years old when he finally tried to kill her. But I guess Miyu was so cute he couldn't help but watch over her as she grew up. Larva was Miyu's 'childhood playmate' that a lot of adults say is just a figment of a kid's imagination.

<< 3: In some sites they say he starts falling in love with her...is this true? >>
Asked by idunno4got@hotmail.com

It was never said in the manga if they were in love or not. It does look though, that they love each other like husband and wife, brother and sister, kind master and slave, friend and friend, all in one. I think their feelings toward each other go deeper than can be described.

<< 4: Does he ever kiss her in the manga, series...or wherever? >>
Asked by idunno4got@hotmail.com

Nope. There are a lot of pictures where they look as if they were about to kiss, their faces are usually so close to each other, and Miyu's face is almost always lifted as if she's expecting a kiss, and Larva's bent down as if he's going to give her one.

<< 5: So he was forced to wear the mask by his clan? >>
Asked by idunno4got@hotmail.com

In the OAVs, he was forced to wear the mask by his clan. In the manga and TV episodes, he willingly wore it as a sign that he was bonded with Miyu.
