Anime Like Vampire Dormitory

Homeless and unable to keep a job because women clog up the businesses to gawk at his beauty, Mito Yamamoto is on the brink of despair. With luck dwindling further, Mito visits a strange cafe where a waiter named Ruka Saotome licks the blood from Mito’s wound and retches with disgust.

Hoping to just end this misery, Mito contemplates jumping off a bridge, but when they slip and fall, Ruka swoops in to save the day. Ruka reveals himself to be a vampire, and because he refuses to drink the blood of women for various reasons, he proposes that Mito become his thrall. He insists that the more loved a person is, the better their blood tastes, so he hopes to improve the flavor of Mito’s blood with affection.

While Mito is given a place to live, a job, and even gets to attend an all-boys school with Ruka, the main problem is that Mito is actually a girl.

Hoo-boy, that’s a lot of BL bait in this vampire romance. If you are looking for more anime recommendations like Vampire Dormitory, head on down below.
