Summary
Some vampires live to feast on the blood of their victims. Others just want to score super limited edition anime merch! Hina Alucard is a modern vampire who drinks blood from bags instead of from humans. But she’s also a complete shut-in who hasn’t left the house in 30 years. In an effort to reach her, Hina’s dad does something that changes her life—he gives her a DVD of the Vampire Cross anime! Hina is instantly obsessed, especially with the character Mao. But it’s difficult to fangirl as hard as she wants from her bedroom in Romania, so now Hina is out of the house and off to Japan to live her otaku dream! Kyuta’s having a hard time bouncing back after being attacked at the vampire bar, so Hina decides to drag him to some cute animal therapy at the zoo. But things definitely don’t go as planned when Mao’s voice actor crashes their date! Ordinarily, Hina would be thrilled to bump into her fave, but Rinya has too many secrets and asks too many questions for her to enjoy the occasion. Not to mention that his presence is ruining any benefit the cute animals had on Kyuta’s mood!
