Kawasaki Itsurou is directing the anime at Studio GAINA, and the anime will star Namikawa Daisuke as Ranmaru Mori and Kobayashi Yuusuke as Rihito Tatsuno.
The anime is an adaptation of the manga by Okujima Hiromasa. The manga was launched by Okujima (New-yoku Yankees, Slow Damage: Clean Dishes -leveret, Villain no Gakkou) in October 2021 in Akita Shoten’s Bessatsu Shounen Champion magazine. Akita Shoten published the manga’s first tankoubon volume in March 2022 and the seventh volume on March 7th, 2024.
The manga centers on a 450-year-old vampire named Ranmaru, working part-time at an old public bath. He desires the blood of an 18-year-old virgin and so watches over the growth of 15-year-old Rihito, the son of the bathhouse owners, and tries to prevent him from losing his virginity.
