so i just finished Watching Tonari no Kyuuketsuki-san, and here is my review
TL:DR; 9/10 wholesome yet realistic take on a modern vampire, and a healthy relationship with one, one that doesn't become romantic nor sexual.
spoilers beyond this point
so the story stars Akari and Sophie, Akari is in highschool when she investigates the legends of a doll mansion, she loves dolls, and while exploring she loses her way only to be found by the vampire Sophie, Sophie lets the human Akari stay for the night at her mansion, eventually Akari moves in because she thinks Sophie is lonely.
not only does this story have excelent jokes about vampire sterotypes, but also has excelent drama shown in only 12 episodes.
one thing i like is the relationship between Akari and Sophie, or rather the lack of it, sophie looks to be the same age as Akari, if a bit younger, yet is actually 360 years old, as such she refuses any and all advances that Akari makes, and she makes a lot, she refuses to feed off of Akari because it could pose a risk to her if she was fed from to much, and she indulges Akari's eccentricy. its shown that at the begining Sophie thinks Akari is annoying, but grows to a true friendship where both member truely care for one another. there is a one off joke in the halloween episode, in which Akari dresses as a vampire, where Sophie fusses over Akari while in costume, and freaks out thinking she actually got turned by another vampire, this shows that she views vampirism as a curse and cares too much about Akari to let her become someone like her, especially at a younger age.
a continuing theme that runs throughout the show is that vampirism sucks if younger and sucks if your older, there is a small window of time where you are in your prime and that's when you should be turned if ever at all. Sophie's sister was the one to turn sophie's entire family into vampires and while she was turned in her twenties, Sophie was turned when she was 14-16 (i cant tell) and sophie's youngest sister was turned while 8 years old, her parents where turned in their 40s-50s and they are shown complaining about what time they were turned.
in the show another vampire hates being seen so young and as such hates how she looks, this isn't shown much as she is often seen brash, without care, and very presenting to say the least, which i would like to say despite the very old characters in the body of a child trope i counted three scenes that could be uncomfortable, one is a bath scene with nothing shown, and the other is the Halloween episode where another vampire, who looks younger around 10-11 wares a succubus outfit for Halloween. and the final is a one off joke at the beginning of an episode, where two human characters ware a two piece bikini, this scene basically just has the message that beaches are a vampires worst nightmare.
so throughout the entire show, Sophie is shown to care for Akari, in a way that may seem romantic if you just looked at their appearance, but seems almost like a caretaker when acknowledging their age gap. as for another vampire that shows up. she was younger when turned, but despite this is actually older than Sophie (Sophie is revealed to be 360 and other vampire is revealed to be 450+), and attempts to act more adult mainly because of, as i said above, her self worth issues, backfiring and she ends up seeming more childish.
in conclusion the ending has Sophie and Akari staying very good friends, and that's a thematic and very satisfying ending. i know of too many shows that if they did this show would have Akari and sophie dating for the ending, but that would have been the bad ending.
additional notes, i love how they have a modern vampire, thanks to technology, just be a introvert who doesn't really leave her house.
FINAL RATING
6/10 visual
8/10 story & plot
5/10 character design
7/10 side characters
10/10 ending
TOTAL 36/50

I pronounce it Massa-tu-sits, but was informed today that Massa-tu-siss is apparently the standard, so now I need to know.

I'm genuinely curious! I personally don't because it's fun learning things second hand, and if something annoys me too much I just unfollow them.
