Retailers are listing the story of Hiromasa Okujima's Baban Baban Ban Vampire manga as entering its "final stage" in its 15th compiled book volume, which will ship on December 8.

Dark Horse Comics licensed the manga, and will release the first volume in English on November 10. Dark Horse describes the manga:

An unassuming worker in a long-established public bathhouse is really the lustful 450-year-old vampire Ranmaru Mori! The heir to this esteemed Koi No Yu Bathhouse, Rihito Tatsuno, is a fifteen-year-old virgin—who is about to fall in love for the first time with a girl in his class! Ranmaru begins to weave a desperate plan to prevent Rihito from losing his virginity and to make him fall for Ranmaru instead, so the bloodsucker can eventually have pure, eighteen-year-old virgin blood for his own vampiric self!

Okujima launched the manga in Akita Shoten's Bessatsu Shōnen Champion magazine in October 2021. Akita Shoten published the manga's 14th volume on August 6.

The Baban Baban Ban Vampire anime adaptation premiered in Japan on January 11. The anime is streaming on Netflix.

A live-action film of the manga was originally scheduled for a February 2025 release, but was postponed due to "various circumstances." The preview screening scheduled in January 2025 was also canceled. The film opened in July 2025, and ranked at #5 in its opening weekend in Japan.
