A vampire hunter investigates daylight attacks and missing children in a future ruled by immortals.
The plot follows D as he tracks four adults who disappeared near a castle ten years ago. Their return marks a shift in vampire behavior, allowing them to operate in sunlight. This breach of old rules suggests a deeper conspiracy involving the nobility. The narrative relies on mystery and suspense rather than constant combat. Readers will find a focus on investigation and the psychological impact of living under vampire rule. The story does not offer easy answers or simple resolutions for the villagers facing this new terror.
Hideyuki Kikuchi writes from a Japanese perspective, blending Western gothic horror tropes with science fiction elements. The setting is far future, year 12090 AD, where traditional vampire weaknesses are tested against a devastated world. This work reflects a unique fusion of genres popular in late twentieth century speculative fiction.
