Plot

[edit]

Humanity has been brought to the edge of extinction and now exists solely in the last remaining city-state of Flandore, where individual city blocks are housed in separate glass domes. Travel between the domes is possible only via train lines running through glass tunnels. The world outside the domes has become one of eternal darkness and is completely infested with savage lycanthropes.

Within the domes, humanity is divided into the nobility and the commoner classes. Through their blood, members of noble families are able to manifest mana which grants them powerful superhuman abilities enabling them to fight and kill lycanthropes. Melida Angel was born to a noble father and a commoner mother but has never manifested mana and attends an elite academy to hone her skills with mana.

Characters

[edit]

House Angel

[edit]
Kufa Vampir (クーファ＝ヴァンピール, Kūfa Vanpīru)
Voiced by: Yūki Ono[3] (Japanese); Gabriel Regojo[4] (English)
Kufa is a member of the guild White Night, which he and Black Madia belong to. Kufa was given a job to be Melida's tutor, with the secret task of assassinating her if he found out she wasn't the proper heir to the Angel family. Ultimately, however, he goes against his orders and transfers some of his mana to her, developing a close mentor-pupil bond with Melida. He is half-human and half-vampire, the strongest of the lycanthropes. His mana class is Samurai.
Melida Angel (メリダ＝アンジェル, Merida Anjeru)
Voiced by: Tomori Kusunoki[3] (Japanese); Brittney Karbowski[4] (English)
The heiress of the noble house Angel, a family of paladins. However, despite already being thirteen, she still hadn't awakened her mana yet. Unbeknownst to her, this might stem from her perhaps not being her noble father's biological daughter, having instead been born from her late mother's affair. She finally obtains mana after Kufa gives her some of his own, allowing her to use his Samurai class of magic. She develops strong feelings for Kufa, to the point where even after learning his true nature as a lycanthrope she accepts him and promises to keep his secret.
Elise Angel (エリーゼ＝アンジェル, Erīze Anjeru)
Voiced by: Yui Ishikawa[3] (Japanese); Juliet Simmons[4] (English)
Melida's cousin, who unlike her was recognized as a prodigy from an early age. While she and Melida have a very close, sisterly relationship, it was initially strained by their opposing status. However, following the Luna Lumiere Selection tournament, they made up and formed a unit together. Also, despite her strength, she is actually rather shy and easily frightened. Her mana class is Paladin.
Rosetti Pricket (ロゼッティ＝プリケット, Rozetti Puriketto)
Voiced by: Marina Yabūchi[3] (Japanese); Avery Smithhart[4] (English)
Elise's private tutor. Though a commoner, she was born with mana and became a noble by rising through the ranks. She quickly develops a crush on Kufa and attempts to marry him to get out of an arranged marriage by her adoptive father, though he usually shrugs off her advances. It is eventually revealed that she and Kufa are foster siblings, and that he turned her into a vampire after she was mortally injured during a lycanthrope attack, though he sealed away her memories to allow her to live a normal life. Her mana class is Maiden.
