Honestly Servamp’s final chapter being an everyone wins and is happy kind of ending might seem unrealistic but the amount of joy I felt reading it compared to MHA’s makes it SO worth it at the end of the day idc how cliche it might be

Sleepy Life of Servamp 3 comic "Young master Misono's childhood"

Misono: I need help.

Lily: Help with relationship advice?

JeJe: Help with finances?

Mikuni: Help moving a dead body?

Misono: I want to confess to Tetsu.

Mikuni: So, I will be moving a dead body tonight.

I believe this list can be expanded. Somewhere I’ve written only chaps when some reference was mentioned for the first time and omitted all further mentions.

Special thanks to hello-vampire-kitty, joydoesathing and passmeabook, because some works wouldn’t be included in the list without their observations.

People are really liking this silly little redraw over on the tiktok so I’ll post it here lol

Translated questions from Tanaka-sensei's interview

There was an interview with Tanaka-sensei for the 10th anniversary of Servamp and sensei was asked 25 questions. Enjoy!

1) Q: Please tell us the ranking of how well the vampires can do housework, particularly cooking!

A: Among the eight Servamps, in order of their cooking ability:

Lawless > Freya > Lily > Tsubaki > Hugh > Kuro > Ildio > Jeje. (What, Lawless is the best at cooking among the Servamps?! That's surprising. He probably bakes sweets for Licht-tan :) 2) Q: Has Tsubaki ever been really angry at Belkia's pranks?

A: No, he hasn’t. Tsubaki never gets really angry by his friends’ jokes. Belkia is also able to read the mood, so he doesn't play pranks that go beyond the extent of a joke.

3) Q: What kind of lessons did Mikuni learn in his childhood?

A: Piano, violin, swimming, tennis, painting, horseback riding, and various foreign languages.

4) Q: Are there any certain pairings of Servamp siblings that are particularly close or unfriendly with one another?

A: The ones who get along especially well are Lily and Jeje, Lawless and Ildio.

On the other hand, the ones who don't get along are Hugh and Lawless, and Jeje and Ildio.

In terms of one-sided feelings, Lily is afraid of Freya, Freya dotes on Lawless, and Ildio has a somewhat affinity for Kuro.

5) Q: Are there any characters who dislike sweets?

A: Shuuhei, Shamrock, Touma Taishi are not particularly fond of sweets.

6) Q: Why does Kuro like cup noodles (Rame Ou)?

A: Because it's easy to make and delicious.

(note: Rame Ou [ラメ王] is the name of the brand of cup of noodles that Kuro likes. The kanji 王 means king and ラメ is short for ラーメン "ramen" )

7) Q: Is there a reason why Mahiru isn't on the cover even though he’s the main character?

A: Yes, there is. 8) Q: When Licht-san gets drunk, he becomes more aggressive towards Lawless than usual, but how does he react to other people besides Lawless? (For example, Crantz, Guil, Mahiru, Kuro, etc.)

If Lawless is there, will he be harmed no matter who is around? A: It's not that he's getting more aggressive, it's just that he becomes more arrogant than usual, so he's more selfish with Crantz and Guil, starts giving longer angel lectures to Mahiru, and pets Kuro like mad.

9) Q: There are many characters in Servamp that wear glasses, including Shuuhei and Lawless, but who is the character with the worst eyesight of them all?　

A: Although he is far-sighted, Kurumamori Junichiro has the worst eyesight.

Lawless has no problem with his eyesight because his glasses are just for fashion.

10) Q: What is inside Licht-san’s angel backpack?

A: Wallet, a handkerchief, cookies, smart phone, a good luck charm given by his family, earphones, sheet music, and so on.

11) Q: Please tell us the order of those who are skilled at Mahjong from team Melancholy!

A: In order of their skills: Otogiri > Tsubaki > Sakuya > Shamrock > Belkia > Higan.

12) Q: How long is Misono’s ahoge (cowlick) ?!

A: It changes depending on his emotions.

13) Q: What is Kuro's favorite dish from Mahiru's culinary repertoire? A: Hamburger steak with melted cheese on top.

14) Q: I got hooked on SERVAMP because of the stage play! I thought the level of reproduction of the characters was of high quality, but I'd like to ask Tanaka-sensei what you thought about the fact that the characters you created were materialized. Please, we would like to hear your opinions about the stage play! A: I really enjoyed the show, purely as an audience member!

It was impressive to see the characters actually exist and move. Kuro's cat-like movements, Lily's graceful swinging of his scythe, Tsubaki's ghastly sword wielding, and so on. I also like the opening dance. I would love to see it again. 15) Q: I would like to know which characters do their hair and which ones leave it as it is! Besides Lawless, do the others leave their hair as it is? A: In addition to Lawless, Mahiru, Sakuya, Belkia, Shamrock, Lily, Mikuni, Yumikage, Junichirou, Iori, Miyako, Crantz, Sigurd and Youtaro are particular about their hairstyles.

On the other hand, Kuro, Gear, Tsurugi, Iduna, Ildio, Higan, etc. leave their hair as it is when they get out of bed.

16) Q: When I'm reading Servamp, I consider that the foreshadowing is great, but do you have a clear structure for the final story in mind, sensei?

A: The flow of the story is generally defined until the end.

17) Q: Tanaka-sensei, is there any character that has acted in a way that you didn’t expect or made you think something like “Did they really have such thoughts?” A: Shirota Mahiru. I believe he has changed around the 11th volume, when he stepped out from his uncle’s ideology.

18) Q: What is Lily’s favorite macaron flavor?

A: Vanilla.

19) Q: Is Mikado Ichinose high-school only for boys? A: The Mikado Ichinose institution has elementary, middle and high schools, and the middle and high schools are boys' schools. There are rumors that the school will soon become co-ed.

20) Q: Are there any characters in Servamp who are considered good at art? A: Aside from Higan, Nicco is actually good at drawing.

On the other hand, Crantz has a unique sense of style, although he is not aware of it. Lawless and Guil call him "Master artist Crantz.”

21) Q: Please tell us which characters have driver’s licenses!

A: They are: Dodo, Mitsuki, Lawless (counterfeit), Crantz, Taishi Touma, Tooru Shirota, Tsukimitsu Iori, Tsukimitsu Miyako, Tsukimitsu Yumikage, Kurumamori Junichirou, Tsuyuki Shuuhei (paper driver), Shamrock (before his death), Niccolo, Cappuccino, Sigurd, Pisca, and Youtarou.

(note: Paper driver means inexperienced drivers who haven’t driven for years, or who never drive after they’ve got their driver’s license. )

22) Q: Is Tetsu-kun’s hair color natural?

A: No. He has been dyeing it for a while.

23) Q: I would like to know Mahiru’s mother’s name.

A: It's Shirota Akira. 城田暁 (her name means "dawn")

24) Q: Lawless doesn't seem to have said any theatrical lines since volume 8. Is there a reason for this?

Does it have something to do with the fact that he has become a crybaby? A: For him, there was no need to act anymore.

25) Q: When is it that Tsurugi laughs earnestly?

A: He doesn't think that he isn't laughing earnestly. (This question was difficult to translate because it used double negatives, so the meaning is that "I do laugh earnestly". I hope it makes sense.)

Two Types of Brothers...

Mahiru: Every time I see Kuro, my heart clenches and I get all nervous.

Tsurugi: That's because you love him.

Misono: Every time I see Tetsu, me heart clenches and I get all nervous.

Mikuni: Don't get close to him again, you seem to have an allergic reaction.

LOOK AT HIM-

What do siren and kappa do to cope with the feeling of missing each other?

They cry.

Misono: I have problems with a boy.

Mikuni: Like "His dead body won't fit in your trunk" problems or "You like him" problems.

Misono: ... "I like him" problems.

Mikuni: Too bad, I could've helped you with the other one.

Misono: Aren't you dating JeJe?

Mikuni: Just because I'm dating JeJe, doesn't mean I know how I did it.
