Synopsis: Ranmaru Mori (Ryo Yoshizawa) works in a public bathhouse as a live-in part-time worker but he is really a 450-year-old vampire. In search of the ultimate taste, which is the blood of an 18-year-old virgin, he watches over 15-year-old Rihito Tatsuno (Rihito Itagaki), who is the only son of the public bathhouse owner. One day, Rihito falls in love at first sight with his classmate Aoi Shinozuka (Nanoka Hara). If Rihito’s love comes true, it means he will be in danger of losing his virginity.
