Mankyuu is directing the anime at Zero-G and Liber studios, and the anime will star Uchida Yuuma as Rose Red Strauss and Shimada Aino as Bridget Irving Frostheart.
Author Shirodaira and artist Kimura started the manga in August 2003 in Square Enix’s Shonen Gangan magazine, and Square Enix published the manga’s first tankoubon volume in December 2003. The manga’s ninth and final volume was released in April 2007.
Viz Media published all of the manga volumes in English in print under the name The Record of a Fallen Vampire. Yen Press and Square Enix’s Manga UP! Global publishes the manga digitally in English under the same name, and Yen Press describes the manga story below:
“Thousands of years ago, Vampire King Akabara “Red Rose” Strauss lost both his kingdom and his queen. Since humans were unable to kill the queen, they sealed her away, erecting thousands of fake seals so that the king would never find her true location. Despite being pursued by relentless dhampires, Akabara continues to search for his queen to this day…Akabara’s quest takes a sinister turn when an entity called the Black Swan appears. The Black Swan inhabits the body of a young human girl every 50 years, giving her the power to destroy the Vampire King and his queen. With each incarnation the Black Swan grows stronger–will the 49th Black Swan mean the end of Akabara?”
