This is a common theme, especially in the tales we have seen; particularly comparable is the tale The Girl with the Hungry Eyes. A magical lust is used by the vampire. This tactic seems to be more common in literature about female vampires and Chugoro is no exception. Love is used as a manipulation tactic, but it is combined with being forbidden, which makes love even more tempting even briefly a story that warned him of such follies committed by foolish lovers, when he falls in love with the vampire. Forbidden love is a commonplace in modern vampire stories. Romeo and Juliet is often considered a perfect love story and a comparison modern is Twilight. Twilight, although heavily derided as a vampire story within pop culture, seems to follow a trend of forbidden love stories that date back to novels like Carmilla and Dracula..
