Description

Set in Paris in the late 19th century, Vanitas is not only an ordinary man working as a doctor specialising in vampires, but he is also in possession of a special book, the “Book of Vanitas”, which was once bequeathed to him. With the help of this book, he pursues one goal above all: to save the vampires. The book also gives him the power he needs to do this. Vampires who are cursed and become bloodthirsty monsters as so-called “curse bearers” can be tamed and healed with the Book of Vanitas. But that is not all: the Book of Vanitas is said to be a cursed book, bringing disaster upon the vampires.

Because his teacher once told him about the book and asked him to get to the bottom of its secret, the vampire Noé Archiviste travels to Paris to look for the said book and accidentally meets Vanitas.
Wir befinden uns im Paris des späten 19. Jahrhunderts. Vanitas ist nicht nur ein gewöhnlicher Mensch und arbeitet als Arzt mit Fachgebiet Vampire, er ist zudem auch im Besitzt eines besonderen Buches, dem »Buch des Vanitas«, das ihm einmal vererbt wurde. Mithilfe dieses Buches verfolgt er vor allem ein Ziel: die Vampire zu retten. Durch das Buch, erhält er auch die entsprechende Macht, die es dafür braucht. Vampire, die von einem Fluch belegt sind und als sogenannte »Fluchträger« zu blutrünstigen Monstern werden, können mit dem Buch des Vanitas gebändigt und geheilt werden. Doch das ist nicht alles, denn man erzählt sich, dass es sich bei dem Buch des Vanitas, auch um das verfluchte Buch handelt, welches zugleich auch Unheil über die Vampire bringen soll.

Weil sein Lehrer ihm einmal von dem Buch erzählt hatte und ihn bat, dem Geheimnis dessen auf den Grund zu gehen, reist der Vampir Noé Archiviste nach Paris, um eben nach genau diesem Buch zu suchen und trifft dabei zufällig auf Vanitas.
Testo della bandella:
Nella Parigi di fine Ottocento, Noè è un ragazzo che intraprende un viaggio in dirigibile alla ricerca del Libro di Vanitas, un grimorio scritto secoli prima da un vampiro al fine di vendicarsi dei suoi simili: unico ad essere nato sotto la luna blu invece che rossa, Vanitas aveva attirato l’odio degli altri vampiri, e per riscattarsi aveva lanciato su tutti loro una potente maledizione … ll viaggio di Noè si interrompe il giorno in cui incontra casualmente un misterioso medico specializzato in vampiri, un uomo che sembra aver ereditato il libro e il nome stesso di Vanitas …
