Kojou Akatsuki's days as an ordinary high school student in the Demon District of Itogami Island come to an abrupt end after a fateful encounter leaves him with the remarkable abilities of a vampire. It isn't long before he is thrust into the center of attention when it is discovered that he is the fourth primogenitor, an immensely powerful vampire whom most consider to be merely a legend. Fearing Kojou's destructive potential, the Lion King Organization sends in an apprentice sword-shaman, Yukina Himeragi, to monitor, and should he become a threat, kill the boy deemed the world's most powerful vampire. Forced together by circumstance, the two form an unlikely alliance as Kojou comes to terms with his abilities and they both struggle to protect the city from various emerging chaotic forces.

This is my review. No kitsu user, this is our reaction.

AfterClass

Has the potential to be pretty good. Ruined by an easily cliched phrase that makes you cringe each arc.

**✿❀TruLuv113❀✿**

Sexy girls find a sexy vampire and bob-haired girl wants sexy vampire to herself and protect him from people that want him dead. Fanservice!

Erik_The_Red

It’s a harem but it had this odd charm to it that I found enjoyable. Definitely nothing objectively good but a kind of guilty pleasure.

Kanra

Cool action scenes with characters that were decent and a plot better than it had any right to be. Combined together they screwed it up?

tokani

No senpai, this is our stereotypical shounen anime

I liked watching it, but there could have been more done with the main character.
