Haru Kosaka is a regular guy, but while attempting to stop a potential stalking/beating he stumbles upon something he doesn't quite understand and ends up being hurt instead. He's saved by a man called Akihito, who claims to be a vampire!
Akihito is an ancient vampire, the leader of a ragtag group of vampires, and in saving Kosaka's life, he inadvertently creates his first Tank: a human he's turned into a vampire.
The story is super cute, with a lot of potential for more, and a detailed world build around the concept of human rights evolving. The year is 2096, and humans have adapted to a less caring community, so the number of orphans is HIGH. Society has potentially lost it's humanity, but the story also deals with war, PTSD, abandonment, and the concept of vampires hiding in the shadows.
The artwork is gorgeous. I would have liked more story, or at least more exploration of 'romance' between Akihito and Kosaka, because it all came across a bit like obsession, insta-love and a lot of duty/responsibility bred by the fact that Akihito turned Kosaka.
Right now it's billed as a solo, but I'm hoping there might be another volume in the future?
