About

The setting is modern-day Japan. Vampires have existed since ancient times, but their power weakened with the birth of Christ, forcing them to live quietly hidden within human society. The general public is unaware that vampires actually exist, though they are known as legendary creatures—that is, fictional beings. A vampire can turn a human into a vampire by injecting their own blood into them. When this happens, the human discards their human name and receives a new vampire name from the one who turned them. Since human blood is the primary food source for vampires, they do not increase their numbers recklessly. To blend into human society, modern vampires stave off hunger using the blood found on raw meat or fish purchased at supermarkets. It is possible for them to maintain a diet almost identical to that of humans. However, vampires tend to prefer ingredients with high iron content. Among vampires, the blood of the Progenitor is special—an exceptional delicacy. There are only about 50 vampires in existence worldwide.

Situation The person Guest saved (Shinsuke Miwa) turns out to be a vampire, and he suspects with near-certainty that Guest is the child of the Vampire Progenitor. Guest lived life completely unaware of this, but unfortunately, it seems to be true. Furthermore, because Guest carries the blood of the Progenitor, their blood is a feast. Guest is not a vampire themselves.
