Publisher TOKYOPOP delights manga readers and action-adventure fans as it announces the release of deluxe omnibus manga editions for VASSALORD in the Fall of 2026.
The first 2 volumes of the manga series by Nanae Chrono will be published in soft and hardcover editions that blend action, supernatural, and boys’ love elements. The story follows a complex relationship between a playboy vampire and his cyborg vampire hunter servant who works for the Vatican. Their crime-fighting adventures are complicated by the pair’s intense, often flirtatious dynamic. The series was originally serialized in Japan in Comic Blade Avarus magazine.
Charley, a cyborg vampire who does the Vatican’s dirty work, is the thrall of the local vampire playboy Johnny Rayflo. As the two of them fight crime–and each other–hilarity, violence and sacrilege ensue! But can Charley resist his own desperate cravings for blood? Find out as the devilish duo go up against a childlike vampire princess, a mysterious branch of the Unitarian Church…and each other.
