INTRODUCTION:
MARS RED takes place in 1923, and vampires have existed for quite a while. But now, the number of vampires is increasing and a mysterious, artificial blood source called Ascra has appeared.
The Japanese government, in turn, creates “Code Zero,” a unit within the army tasked with taking down the vampiric forces. And what better way to track vampires than by using vampires?
Created by Lieutenant General Nakajima, this unit has historically been in the business of information war, but has been re-assigned to solve the vampire crisis.
Code Zero’s members include:
Yoshinobu Maeda – Captain of Code Zero and the “most powerful human”
Shutaro Kurusu – A-class vampire and rookie on the squad
Tokuichi Yamagami – Smart vampire, not currently ranked
Suwa – A veteran vampire since the Edo era
Takeuchi – D-class vampire and mad scientist with an immortal brain
It’s up to Code Zero and the S-class vampire Deffrot to investigate this increase and put a stop to it before society crumbles.
