Title: Call of the Night
Story & Art: Kotoyama
Release: April 2021
Synopsis in my own words would be: A vampire romantic comedy through a male point of view brimming with teenage angst. The high school protagonist is clueless about his feelings and desires. There's a lot of "What is this I'm feeling? Why is my heart beating fast? Why do I miss her? Am I attracted to her? Is this love? No way! Waggghhhh!" The female vampire is super confident and assertive which is fun. Plus she wears short shorts. And there's an innocent female human who's also interested in our hero to act as a foil for her. It's silly, funny, cute, and ridiculous. For readers: Antisocial, dorky boy seeks fun-loving, sexy vampire for blood-sucking and transforming into her minion. One night, sleepless Yamori slips out of his home to walk the streets of his town. Life after dark is a revelation! Especially when he meets flirtatious Nanakusa... She's a lot more fun to share the night with than old drunks on park benches. When she invites him to spend the night at her place in an abandoned building, he's stoked! But then he awakens to kisses on his neck with a little too much bite to them...
