Blood Lad is a 2013 Japanese anime series based on the manga written and illustrated by Yuuki Kodama.[1] In another dimension, otaku vampire, Staz Charlie Blood and his gang stumble upon Fuyumi Yanagi—a high school girl who somehow finds her way into their dimension from the human world. Fuyumi's presence induces a vampiric infatuation from Staz, but his time with her is cut short after she is killed by a rogue carnivorous demon plant and turns into a ghost, leaving Staz determined to resurrect her as a living human.
