The manga is much better than the anime, so you should check it out. The anime also left out or changed quite a few details, such as Shinoa Squad's weapons work and how the angels have absolutely no interest and vampires and won't attack them except under certain conditions. The manga shows Mika's characterization and development much better than the anime does as well. The anime also made Mika weirdly weak at the end, which simply makes no sense and is driving me crazy.

The first of the Catastrophe light novels starring Guren in the year before the Apocalypse is now out in English. You ought to give that a try. Vampire Reign is Takaya Kagami's first manga series, but he's the author of several dozen other light novel series. His writing skill really shows through.
