The original work began serialization in October 2021 in Bessatsu Shonen Champion. A 450-year-old vampire, Mori Ranmaru, who hides his true identity and works as a live-in part-timer at a public bath, struggles to protect the chastity of 15-year-old Rihito Tatsuno, the only son of the bathhouse, in search of the ultimate tasting "18-year-old virgin blood." This is a "bloody romantic comedy" (BL) where love arrows cross. In the anime, voice actors Daisuke Namikawa and Yusuke Kobayashi Rihito Tatsuno, respectively.
In the first episode, "The Bathhouse Vampire," Ranmaru Mori finds out that Rihito fell in love with Aoi Shinozuka on the first day of high school. He gathers together the wisdom of 450 years and vows to "prevent Rihito from losing his virginity!" and takes action to break his love. Late at night, Ranmaru goes to Aoi's room to ask her directly.
