Strike the Blood

Kojou Akatsuki leads a typical high school life in Itogami Island’s Demon District—until a single encounter transforms him, awakening the powers of a vampire and abruptly pulling him out of the ordinary.

Rumors quickly harden into a frightening truth: Kojou is identified as the Fourth Primogenitor, a legendary vampire whose strength is said to be unparalleled. Concerned about what he could become, the Lion King Organization assigns Yukina Himeragi, an apprentice sword-shaman, to keep him under watch—and to eliminate him if he turns into a danger. Bound by necessity, Kojou and Yukina navigate an uneasy partnership as he struggles to control his new nature and both work to shield the city from a growing wave of supernatural unrest.
