A vampire hunter expecting a dangerous opponent meets a vampire who crumbles to dust at the slightest shock, then finds himself sharing everyday troubles with him.
Ronaldo’s initial rescue job overturns the reputation surrounding Draluc’s castle. Their association moves into the hunter’s working life in Shin-Yokohama, where other vampires and colleagues supply further complications. Repeated instant deaths become a gag about fragile dignity rather than proof of an imposing monster.
Draluc’s self-possession sits awkwardly beside his extreme physical fragility. Putting that vampire in a hunter’s everyday working world lets the pair’s incompatible expectations recur through visitors, jobs and arguments, rather than resolving with the initial encounter.
