Call of the Night is a TV anime by Liden Films that’s based on the manga of the same name by Kotoyama. The manga started serialization in Weekly Shonen Sunday on August 28, 2019.
The series follows Kou Yamori, a middle school student who starts feeling dissatisfied with his life and quits school soon after. To cope, he takes nightly walks alone.
One night, while walking alone, Kou meets Nazuna who promises to help him feel better about his situation by showing him the bright side of being a nightwalker. But it turns out that Nazuna is a vampire.
Instead of being scared off, Kou decides that he wants to be a vampire like her. But she won’t be able to turn him into one that easily because in order to become a vampire, a person must be bitten by someone they love.
Because of this, Kou resolves to fall in love with Nazuna. Thus begins their unlikely adventure.
New episodes of Call of the Night are released every week.
