Information

Description

In the 19th century, Paris develops to a modern metropolis in the wake of the Industrial Revolution. However, in “The Case Study of Vanitas”, the adaptation of the eponymic Manga by Jun Mochizuki, the capital’s prosperity is overshadowed by the actions of a bloodsucking serial killer who even after his ninth murder has still not been caught.

In the midst of the general uncertainty, Noé, a young vampire from the backcountry, is drawn to Paris to find a dark book, he learned about from his former master. This so called “Book of Vanitas” is a magical grimoire, which, according to a children’s tale, is the legacy of the vampire Vanitas who was born under a blue full moon and therefore expelled by his fellow vampires. Filled with the vengeful desires of its creator, the book can bestow the ability to curse vampires and cause them to fall into an uncontrollable bloodlust.

On their way to the capital, however, Noé and his moody cat Murr are involved in an incident on the airship on which they are travelling. A young man opposes them, bearing the name of the banished vampire and apparently also carrying the very grimoire Noé is looking for …

Von seinem ehemaligen Lehrmeister hat er erfahren, dass die Existenz des sogenannten »Buchs des Vanitas« dort bestätigt worden sei.

Angefüllt mit den Rachegelüsten seines Erschaffers soll das Buch dazu befähigen, Vampire zu verfluchen und in unkontrollierbaren Blutrausch verfallen zu lassen.

Auf dem Weg in die Hauptstadt werden Noé und sein launischer Kater Murr jedoch in einen Zwischenfall auf einem Luftschiff verwickelt. Ein junger Mensch stellt sich ihnen entgegen, der den Namen des verbannten Vampirs trägt und augenscheinlich auch das gesuchte Grimoire mit sich führt …
