About the series
Set in a steampunk Paris where vampires exist, The Case Study of Vanitas follows a human doctor who wields a grimoire capable of curing cursed vampires, and a vampire who distrusts him. Published by Yen Press from 2016 onward, this series is most closely associated with creator Jun Mochizuki, known for her intricate gothic storytelling. It matters for weaving a dark, romantic mystery around the nature of curses and prejudice, offering a fresh take on vampire lore through its elegant art and morally complex characters.
