Otaku Vampire’s Love Bite Manga by Julietta Suzuki Gets a TV Anime
Julietta Suzuki’s Otaku Vampire’s Love Bite manga, by the creator of Kamisama Kiss, is getting a TV anime adaptation. The announcement includes a teaser visual and promotional video.
ShoPro Entertainment has announced a TV anime adaptation of Otaku Vampire’s Love Bite (Oshi ni Amagami), the manga by Julietta Suzuki. The announcement comes with a promotional visual and a teaser video published on the official ShoPro anime YouTube channel. The project also has an official website and its own X account.
A vampire who prefers anime to blood
The story follows Hina Alucard, a vampire who has spent 30 years shut away at home. Her life changes when she decides to move from Romania to Japan to enjoy her otaku interests. There, she meets her neighbor, Kyuuta Amanatsu, a boy who looks remarkably like her favorite anime character, Mao. Kyuuta's blood also has a special quality that makes it irresistible to other vampires. The series combines romance, comedy and supernatural elements through a protagonist whose passion for her favorite characters even surpasses her vampire instincts. VIZ Media describes the manga as a bloody romantic comedy about a vampire completely devoted to her hobbies.
From a one-shot to a Hana to Yume series
Julietta Suzuki originally published a one-shot of Otaku Vampire’s Love Bite in Hakusensha’s Hana to Yume magazine in April 2022. The series subsequently began serialization in the same magazine in November of that year. Hakusensha released the tenth collected volume on July 17, 2026. The eleventh volume is scheduled to arrive in Japanese bookstores on November 20, according to the publisher’s official release calendar.
VIZ Media publishes the manga in English under the title Otaku Vampire’s Love Bite. The publisher released volume 8 on July 7, 2026, and has scheduled volume 9 for December 1. In Spain, the manga is still unlicensed. However, another work by the author is available in the country: Kamisama Kiss, published by Panini Manga in a 13-volume edition. The anime adaptation is also unlicensed in Spain.
The Return of the Creator of Kamisama Kiss to Anime
Julietta Suzuki is internationally known for Kamisama Kiss, her manga serialized in Hana to Yume from 2008 until May 2016. The series concluded with 25 volumes in Japan and received an anime adaptation consisting of two TV seasons and four original episodes released alongside the manga volumes. Otaku Vampire’s Love Bite marks another anime adaptation of one of Suzuki’s works, this time featuring a romantic comedy that blends vampires and otaku culture. The announcement was made in Japan on November 4, accompanied by the project's first promotional materials.
