Karin Maaka, an extraordinary vampire who defies the stereotypes of her family, boasts incredible abilities. Unlike her nocturnal relatives, she dares to roam freely during the radiant daylight and indulges in slumber during the tranquil nights. An enigma hidden from the prying eyes of her unsuspecting town, Karin is hell-bent on preserving the facade of a "normal" life that she has carefully constructed. Soon, fate entwines the lives of Karin and Kenta Usui, an astute student who unwittingly stumbles upon a peculiar incident. Witnessing Karin sinking her fangs into a hapless victim, Kenta tries to decipher her perplexing behavior. However, their initial encounter spirals into a series of outrageous misinterpretations and mixed signals. Alas, as Kenta edges closer to uncovering the truth, an astonishing revelation hits him—Karin involuntarily suffers from ferocious nosebleeds whenever her abundant blood reserves demand release, rather than resorting to typical vampire feeding methods. Burdened with the knowledge of Karin's extraordinary secret, Kenta embarks on a mission to safeguard it from prying eyes. Will he succeed in safeguarding Karin's clandestine existence, or will their intertwining destinies unravel amidst the struggle to maintain the delicate balance between their worlds?
