16 year old Saitou is an honors student at Moriyama Senior High School. One night, while walking to a convenience store, he runs into a pretty teenage vampire!
A clandestine government agency tells the Arashi family that they must help rehabilitate this troubled girl with a little talisman on her forehead. How? By becoming a host family!
Is Minato really as dangerous as the Arashi family thinks she is?
What will it take to truly understand her?

I hope Saitou and Minato's story makes somebody out there smile. ^_^
