Blood Lad (2013)

In the enigmatic universe of Blood Lad, we meet Staz, a vampire who lords over a section of the Demon World, a realm otherworldly and chaotic. However, Staz is not your typical bloodthirsty vampire. He's an otaku, utterly fascinated and captivated by human artefacts, particularly anime and manga. His life is steeped in monotony, consumed by the static humdrum of ruling and indulging in his anime obsession, until the unexpected happens. One day, Staz finds his routine disrupted by Fuyumi Yanagi, a Japanese girl who, by a twist of fate, stumbles through a portal and finds herself lost in the labyrinth of the Demon World. As an otaku with a pervasive passion for all things Japanese, Staz is thrilled by the opportunity to meet her. His excitement, however, is short-lived. When a territorial rivalry pulls Staz into a fierce showdown, Fuyumi falls prey to a carnivorous plant and her life is tragically extinguished. Overcome with guilt and driven by a newfound sense of purpose, Staz makes a solemn pledge - to resurrect Fuyumi and restore the life that was inadvertently snatched from her in his world. Blood Lad is an intriguing crossroads of worlds, where supernatural chaos intertwines with the simplicity of human interests, where a vampire's quest transcends the desire for blood, delving into the realm of redemption and resurrection. It's a tale of an unlikely hero's journey, a saga of a vampire otaku who isn't just about fangs and fear, but about fighting for a cause that's accidentally become his own.
