Call of the Night, Vol. 1: Volume 1

Product Information

I don't like when they eat human food and walk in the daylight, because to me that just takes away the whole point of being a vampire. So when he meets Nazuna, he decides he wants to become a vampire like her, so he can always walk the night and savor the freedom she enjoys. Yamori confronts her but she assures him he will not become a vampire, as the only way for a human to become a vampire is to fall in love with a vampire and then have that vampire bite them. She is later revealed to be "Kyoko Mejiro", Nazuna's first friend and first attempt at creating a familiar. It is revealed Nazuna is a special case among vampires as she was not turned, but rather born as one, with a vampire mother and human father.

The big plot point arrives (way too late if you ask me) when our hero’s childhood friend comes into the picture. She is kept at a distance from the main vampire group due to her stunted personality, lower intelligence, and immaturity.Also, she unabashedly drinks in front of Ko and blushes when love is brought up, but has no trouble discussing sex. Nico Hirata ( 平田ニコ, Hirata Niko) [2] Voiced by: Eri Kitamura [10] (Japanese); Monica Rial (English) A vampire who doubles as a teacher who teaches night classes. When Ko’s childhood friend, who is nice but so wrongheaded with him that it’s not even funny, puts a spanner in the works, there is some viciously satisfying back and forth. Yamori apologizes for the scare, and tells Kiyosumi his and Nazuna's secret, saying he wants to become a vampire. After leaving, Yamori gets jealous when Nazuna spots a person from which she has drunk blood before, but she says he is the only one at the moment.

I like the nighttime vibe of this manga, and Nazuna and Ko's silly banter, and those by themselves will carry me at least through the three volumes of this manga that I own. Kikyō arrives, and she goes to kill Akiyama and Yamori for interfering, but Nazuna stops her from above. Nazuna's a vampire, and she's nominally after Ko's super tasty blood, but once again, there's something else simmering beneath the surface. Mahiru Seki ( 夕真昼, Seki Mahiru) Voiced by: Kensho Ono [6] (Japanese); Daman Mills (English) A popular boy at school, and one of Ko and Akira's old friends, who also starts to hang out at night. Chapter 30 • Chapter 31 • Chapter 32 • Chapter 33 • Chapter 34 • Chapter 35 • Chapter 36 • Chapter 37 • Chapter 38 • Chapter 39 • Chapter 35.Ko and Nazuna help her to achieve closure by confronting the vampire that turned her father and spiralled her down this path, Kiku Hoshimi. On May 9, 2023, Viz Media launched their Viz Manga digital manga service, with the series' chapters receiving simultaneous English publication in North America as they are released in Japan. Uguisu says she is opposed to Ko becoming a vampire, as she believes that vampires are a threat to humanity, and presents him with an ultimatum; demanding that he promise to abandon his hope of becoming a vampire, at which point she will protect him from the vampires and tell him how to kill them. She has no interest in turning Ko into a vampire (which would require him to fall in love with her), but she does seem invested in his emotional well-being, something she's possibly unaware of.
