The Record of a Fallen Vampire Manga Gets New Series After 19 Years, Teases Announcement
The October issue of Square Enix's Shonen Gangan magazine announced on Thursday that Kyo Shirodaira and Yuri Kimura's The Record of a Fallen Vampire manga will receive a new series titled Vampire Jūjikai: Inu ni wa Inu no Uta (The Record of a Fallen Vampire: A Dog's Song for Dogs) in the magazine's next issue on October 9. The magazine is also teasing an "important announcement" about the series in the next issue.
Manga UP! Global publishes the original manga in English digitally and describes the story:
Thousands of years ago, Vampire King Akabara "Red Rose" Strauss lost both his kingdom and his queen. Since humans were unable to kill the queen, they sealed her away, erecting thousands of fake seals so that the king would never find her true location. Despite being pursued by relentless dhampires, Akabara continues to search for his queen to this day...Akabara's quest takes a sinister turn when an entity called the Black Swan appears. The Black Swan inhabits the body of a young human girl every 50 years, giving her the power to destroy the Vampire King and his queen. With each incarnation the Black Swan grows stronger--will the 49th Black Swan mean the end of Akabara?
Shirodaira and Kimura launched the manga in Square Enix's Shonen Gangan in December 2003. The company shipped the ninth compiled volume in April 2007. Viz Media published the manga in English in May 2008, and it shipped the ninth volume in May 2010.
Chasiba Katase launched the In/Spectre (Kyokō Suiri or Invented Interface) manga based on a 2011 novel by Shirodaira in Kodansha's Shōnen Magazine R in April 2015. The series also began serializing in Monthly Shonen Magazine in 2019. Kodansha shipped the 25th compiled book volume on May 15.
The In/Spectre manga inspired a television anime that premiered in January 2020. The anime was a Crunchyroll co-production and part of the Crunchyroll Originals slate. Crunchyroll also streamed an English dub for the anime. The anime's second season debuted in 2023.
