Synopsis: Set in a time when vampires are ubiquitous in society, treated as outcasts, and forced to keep their identities hidden—despite having signed a peace treaty two hundred years ago, following which they have satisfied their hunger with merely pig's blood—Orange Marmalade tells the story of Ma Ri Baek, a young vampire who has faced great difficulty due to her nature. Feared and hated, the girl has been driven away from several neighborhoods and is eager to settle down with her family in their current city. The endless prejudice has left her disillusioned about friendship and love; however, the sweet-scented blood of Jae Min Jung stirs something within her and renders her unable to resist biting into the neck of the charming man. Ma Ri must now cope with her life after this encounter, as her victim begins to fall in love with her. (MAL)
Baka updates: Vampires have evolved and don't rely on human blood anymore. They now co-exist secretly as normal citizens even though they are still feared and discriminated against by the society. So what happens to a female vampire trying to live a normal school life when she meets the most popular boy in school and accidentally nips his neck?

Side notes: This manhwa stands on the top among the romance manga listings that have also some fantasy mixed within. As I'm only presenting the 10 out of the 20 something list I'm not adding pure romance mangas nor the top 10 placings but my choices from the top 20 (mainly 'cause I've already added most of the top placing mangas on my list of readings before this).
The art at first isn't that good but in frame of other web mangas/ manhwas at the time this was published it can be said to be good if not even better than that. The starting of the story is a bit awkward but as one gets to know the main characters the feeling gets a bit easier. I've only read the start now so I can't say about the future of the story but it's pretty popular among the readers and anyone liking school romances, vampires etc. should place this one on their list of reading. And there is too some comedy added so it's not bad thing to start reading.^-^b
