Akita Shoten published the manga’s first tankoubon volume in March 2022, and it will release 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.
