Kind-hearted and handsome office worker Nomura Hiro and his cheerful, energetic wife Nomura Sae, a former hostess, are enjoying newlywed life in a small apartment. However, Hiro has grown frustrated with Sae, who struggles with cooking and housework and tends to run back to her parents’ home whenever they argue.
In the middle of one such marital dispute, a new neighbor, Shiraishi Miko, moves into the apartment next door and comes by to introduce herself. Instantly smitten with the kind and handsome Hiro, Miko begins sharing homemade dishes with him, and before long, they grow closer. She helps with household chores, nurses him when he is sick, and visits his apartment almost every day.
Hiro comes to find comfort in Miko’s devoted care, which feels almost maternal. Although he is occasionally puzzled by her strange remarks and awkward conversations that never quite seem to connect, their friendship continues to deepen.
As Miko becomes increasingly attracted to Hiro, a shocking secret is revealed: despite seeing herself as a beautiful sixteen-year-old girl, Miko is actually a 61-year-old woman. Even knowing that Hiro is married, Miko adopts the philosophy of “If you love someone, take them,” and launches one romantic scheme after another against the Nomura couple. What begins as innocent affection gradually spirals into a dangerous obsession, unleashing a madness disguised as pure love.

It follows the trouble-filled daily life of a mysterious and strikingly beautiful vampire novelist who assists the police in criminal investigations, and a rookie editor who finds himself at the mercy of a non-human existence. Zen Misaki is a wildly popular bestselling author whose true identity is, unexpectedly, that of a vampire. Using supernatural abilities unique to his inhuman nature, such as nensha (the power to read a person’s memories from their blood), mind reading, and hypnosis, along with his sharp deductive skills, Misaki stylishly solves difficult cases that have left the police at a dead end. Having long since abandoned his life as a human, Misaki begins the story having lost his sense of purpose, lacking the passion to write new novels and harboring a cynical, world-weary outlook. However, through his interactions with a young editor and an up-and-coming detective, and by solving case after case, he gradually rediscovers his capacity for love, friendship, and the very emotions that make him human.
