When she leads him to her apartment and invites him to lie down next to her, that red flag is triggered, though it turns out to be the wrong one. This should be throwing up all kinds of red flags, but Kou goes along with this girl anyway. After showing him a few of the wonders of the nighttime city like a few drunk office workers throwing up on the sidewalk, she suggests they return to her place so she can “help him sleep.” She tells Kou that he needs to let go and enjoy himself and that the night is the perfect time to do it.

And definitely a vampire romance, and not even exactly the first one I’ve covered here if Kizumonogatari counts. Call of the Night / Yofukashi no Uta is a recently finished 13-episode anime, another manga adaptation. Or maybe not, because I was already a little interested in it.
