Until recently I had only watched the first two episodes of Rosario + Vampire, and even though it was amusing, I wasn’t sure I would bother finishing the series. However, I’ve been religiously following The True Monster, a fanfiction by Lord of the Land of Fire, and my interest in the series has been increased. Initially it was just out of a desire to have a better understanding of the series and its characters so that I could better understand some aspects of the fanfiction, but as the story has progressed, I find myself just downright interested.

Of course the cute school girl costumes that the characters sport have nothing to do with it at all. And yes, as you’ve probably surmised from the main cast picture in this post, the series is definately a “harem” one.

You’re probably wondering why I started reading a fanfic that revolves around a series I haven’t even fully read and watched yet, right? In actual, the fanfiction is a crossover between two series; Naruto and Rosario + Vampire. Hence why I started reading it.

A Rosario Vampire and Naruto cross over. Naruto, the hated Kyuubi jinchuuriki is sent to a school for monsters to complete his education before he can return to Konoha. But in a place filled with monsters he wonders just who the true monster is.

It’s a very interesting fanfiction, well-written, and contains an interesting premise. Not to mention, if you’ve been following the Naruto manga of late, you’re probably well aware of the fact that the series has totally gone down the crapper. Frankly, I’ve found quite a number of fanfics that are more interesting than the original manga. Sad really. Kishimoto had a great series, but now it’s just all about making his favorite character (who isn’t the protagonist but actually a bad guy by all counts) and giving him godlike abilities.

If you’re a Naruto fan and enjoy fanfiction I definately recommend giving this story a shot - it’ll be well worth it.
