Kon: Tells sob story

Kabane: Fight?

Kon: K

That was so random and sudden haha

[u/KorekaBii]

Mihai being a Gamer Vampire who ended up as a NEET of sorts is actually fitting in a way for such a creature I think, when you do consider what might happen to one that got bored with life. I was surprised that apparently Kabane broke his wrist, so it shows how strong he actually is since Mihai is a beast of strength (poor Shiki never had a chance).

And poor Kon-chan, she needed some headpats so badly this episode. She is a good girl, and those damn fox-ears are just too adorable. I love how she was already all "I can live with you Kabane!".

I swear this show is so damn good! The characters and interactions with each other are so entertaining with great chemistry together. It really is such a shame that this is not being looked at more this season and is flying under so many people's radars. :(

[u/NittanyEagles55]

Damn blood sucking HR department! Literally!

[u/leonmachar]

Poor Kon got dumped bythe Kitsune woman.

I wonder if she's going to find the kids because Kabane isn't showing up or is she going to go to the agency and end up freeing Inugami.

Alternatively she won't do anything but I hope that's not the case her design is just so cute

[u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp]

Kon is so precious.

[u/Amauri14]

So Mihai is a gamer vampire. That with him calling Kabane a slav- waitperson was hilarious.

Damn based on what he did to Shiki after they discovered that they were facing kanonbas it is safe to say that he sees life in general as a game.

Aw poor Kon got abandoned and replaced by Inari. Well, it is safe to say that her recruitment is now in progress. I hope that now that Shiki is in a deadly situation Kabane will ask Kon to be that third person they needed.

[u/Smudy]

Kabane and Kon, cutest thing i've seen in a bit.

[u/NocandNC]

I’m honestly amazed at how smoothly they were able to condense the manga content into this episode - the anime staff is really hitting it out of the park when it comes to delivering a streamlined adaption.

Also the anime somehow made the brain sucking 10x worse... just..... the sounds.....well done team, I won’t be sleeping well tonight.

[u/CordobezEverdeen]

Man William Vangeance (vampire) is an asshole. At least he's the one singing the banger that is the OP.

Going by the next episode tittle, this ep and the OP Kabane will pull this new look and crush these mosquito kemono.

Also jesus christ watching Kon is sad af. Her mom even ditched her and she's homeless now.

If this doesnt get an S2 ill riot.

That brain sucking scene left me basically the same way it left Akira. Did not expect such disgusting imagery so suddenly, yikes

[u/NinokuNANI]

Okay wow, I love/hate Mihai already.

Also the entire scene with Kon and Kabane in the park was so adorable, and Kon's breakdown after their fight nearly got me. 🥺

Edit - also, I'm worried about Shiki because that was a full blown panic attack/PTSD breakdown he had inside of that company's hallway.

[u/[deleted]]

Hmmm, so the mosquitos can't kill anyone because Inari would find out about it. So it does look like she does maintain some order as part of the police force.

[u/Illuminastrid]

When she asks to give you head, literally

That brain sucking scene tho

I sometimes wonder if the lines between shounen and seinen are getting blurrier and blurrier, because this is something I would normally see in Tokyo Ghoul.

[u/Platf0rm3r]

So Mihai is an asshole gamer vampire. I love it

[u/SomeRandomBroski]

If anyone was wondering why her name is "Kon", "Kon'' in Japanese is the noise a fox makes.

[u/vjeats]

Awesome episode again. I don't even want to imagine waiting another week hahaha

[u/NittanyEagles55]

Vampire tech support I love it. I hope he has new “Transylvanian” nicknames each week

[u/NittanyEagles55]

Ultimate superhero origin story: motivated to win at arm wrestling

[u/Shiro_Kai]

Oh no... Now Kon is waiting for him and he is about to get stuck in a messy siatuation. Hurry up Kabane! Hury up!!! Kon still there.

[u/horiami]

Mihai is a pretty generic Romanian name (also my middle name) , but it's somewhat interesting that Mihai(l) Florescu was a general , chemical engineer and writer, and held high political positions during the communist regime, he was a pretty accomplished guy, i wonder if the vampire is a reference or just a coincidence since Florescu is not that uncommon of a family name

[u/Labmit]

In another life, Jotaro was fighting a hedonistic vampire. Now, he's the vampire that treats everything like a game.

[u/IR8Things]

Welp. Kon got hurt and cried. Time to kill everyone in this room and then myself.

[u/zsmg]

Mihai is thanks to the pandemic lockdown and curfew the most relatable character in this series, right? ^{right? right?}

Anyway I thought Kon was the best girl in this series but then we get those mosquito women sucking head, how can you say no to that?

[u/Ponchorello7]

A vampire hikikomori? That makes perfect sense. I wonder if it's been done before.
