To commemorate the 70th anniversary of the founding of “Nakayoshi” and the 20th anniversary of Ema Toyama’s debut, the final episode (episode 12) of the TV anime “Vampire Boys Dorm” (TOKYO MX, BS Nippon TV, etc.), which depicts the dangerous cohabitation of a cross-dressing girl and a adoring vampire, was aired yesterday, June 23rd (Sun).
Although it is a traditional girls’ manga, each episode features a shocking story development, and it has become a hot topic on social media, with comments such as “Is this the best anime this season?” and “There is no anime more interesting than Vampire Boys’ Dorm.”
Mito, a lonely girl who lost her parents and was abandoned by her relatives, was kicked out of the store where she worked disguised as a man to make a living, and was left without money or a place to live when she was picked up by a vampire named Luca. Mito and Luca started living together in the boys’ dormitory, hiding her true identity as a woman, on the condition that she use her blood as Luca’s “food.” Mito was unable to tell Luca that she was his “destined woman,” and thought she had been heartbroken. Ren Nikaido, the child of a vampire and a human, uses his special powers to erase her memories of Luca. Having forgotten Luca, Mito and Ren end up getting married. Luca finally realizes his feelings… How will this ultimate love triangle come to an end? Attention was focused on the climax of the three characters in the final episode of the TV anime.
Many comments were posted on social media during the broadcast, with the four kissing scenes and Luca’s words of love to Bijin, “Boy or girl, even if we’re not destined to be together… it doesn’t matter. Even if you forget about me, I’ll love you forever,” causing a big stir. After the final episode, the last five minutes of the main story were released, and comments such as “this was the best final episode” were flooded with comments about the sweet scene between Bijin and Luca who finally got together, and Ren’s sad ending. Furthermore, the ending, which ended with the appearance of transfer student Ryuze, has already drawn comments such as “An unexpected new character in the final episode!” and “Looking forward to the second season!”
