About the Manga
The Case Study of Vanitas follows Noé, a young vampire searching for a mysterious grimoire called The Book of Vanitas. His journey takes him to Paris, where he encounters Vanitas, a vampire doctor, and gets caught in a conflict threatening the peace between humans and vampires.
Yen Press has been publishing the manga simultaneously in English since its debut, describing the story as:
Rumors revolving around The Book of Vanitas, a clockwork grimoire of dubious reputation, draw Noé, a young vampire in search of a friend's salvation, to Paris. What awaits him in the City of Flowers, however, is not long hours treading the pavement or rifling through dusty bookshops in search of the tome. Instead, his quarry comes to him...in the arms of a man claiming to be a vampire doctor! Thrust into a conflict that threatens the peace between humans and vampires, will Noé cast in his lot with the curious and slightly unbalanced Vanitas and his quest to save vampirekind?
