Kotoyama's vampire manga Call of the Night is getting a TV anime in July

The television channel Fuji TV today launched an official website for the TV anime adaptation of Kotoyama's manga "Yofukashi no Uta" (Call of the Night), featuring the main staff, cast, a teaser visual, and a teaser promo. The anime series is set to air in July 2022 as part of the noitaminA programming block.



LIDENFILMS is handling the animation for the Call of the Night adaptation. Tomoyuki Itamura is directing the anime, while Haruka Sagawa is designing the characters. Michiko Yokote is writing the script. Tetsuya Miyanishi serves as the chief animation director.

The series is based on the manga by Dagashi Kashi creator Kotoyama and is named after "Yofukashi no Uta," a song by the band Creepy Nuts.

Starring in the lead roles are Gen Sato as the sleepless protagonist Ko Yamori and Sora Amamiya as the flirty "nightwalker" Nazuna Nanakusa.

Viz Media describes the manga as follows:

Nanakusa is a vampire. For the human Ko, that’s just fine. He wants to become one too. But transformation isn’t so easy…

When Nazuna invites Ko to spend the night at her place in an abandoned building, he’s stoked! But then he wakes up feeling kisses on his neck with a little too much bite to them… Is it just the delicious taste of his blood that’s drawing her back night after night for late-night adventures, conversations, and… sleepovers? Or something else? Then, when a cute girl from Yamori’s past shows up and starts competing for his attention, his budding relationship with the undead is put to the test!
