posted on by Anita Tai
ShoPro Entertainment announced with a teaser promotional video and visual on Wednesday that Julietta Suzuki's Otaku Vampire's Love Bite (Oshi ni Amagami) manga will receive a television anime adaptation.
Viz Media publishes the series in English and describes the story:
Even vampires obsess over their favorite characters!
After spending 30 years as a shut-in, the vampire Hina moves to Japan to enjoy otaku activities. There, she meets her neighbor, Kyuta Amanatsu, a boy who looks just like her favorite character! What's more, his blood is something special, irresistible to vampires everywhere.
As other vampires show up with their sights set on Kyuta, his relationship with Hina takes an unexpected turn.
Is she fangirling…or falling in love?!
A 100% otaku vampire meets a handsome, slightly sharp-tongued guy in this bloody romantic comedy!
Suzuki launched the manga in Hakusensha's Hana to Yume magazine in November 2022. Hakusensha shipped the 10th compiled book volume on July 17 and will ship the 11th volume on November 20. Viz Media shipped the eighth volume on July 7 and will ship the ninth volume on December 1.
The manga is a serialization of a one-shot with the same title that Suzuki published in Hana to Yume in April 2022.
Suzuki ended the Meitantei Kо̄ko wa Yūutsu (Detective Kо̄ko Is Melancholy) manga in June 2022. Suzuki published a one-shot for the manga in Hana to Yume January 2020, before serializing it in the magazine in September 2020.
Suzuki launched the Kamisama Kiss manga in Hana to Yume in 2008, and ended the series in May 2016 with 25 volumes. Viz Media has published the manga in English.
Kamisama Kiss inspired two anime seasons. Funimation streamed both seasons as they aired in Japan, and also released both seasons on home video. The manga also inspired a series of four original anime DVDs (OADs) that shipped with the manga's 22nd through 25th compiled volumes. A "volume 25.5," an official fan book, shipped in December 2016. The fan book bundled a DVD with an original anime and a 32-page epilogue manga.
