About this title
Synopsis
Staz Charlie Blood is a merciless and powerful district leader of the Demon World. However, Staz is also a lax vampire who refuses to drink human blood and bears a strange obsession with human culture, taking a keen interest in Japan. So, when a cute human girl named Fuyumi Yanagi wanders into the midst of the Demon World, Staz develops an interest in her and uses this rare opportunity to consult her on human society. However, their conversation is cut short when a rival demon challenges his rule. Momentarily leaving Fuyumi, Staz swiftly defeats his opponent, but finds that Fuyumi was eaten by a carnivorous plant in his absence! Fortunately, Fuyumi is not completely gone, as she now simply exists as a ghost in the Demon World. However, Fuyumi has lost the human appeal that mesmerized Staz in the first place. As a result of this, he becomes determined to find a spell to resurrect her body. This means traveling to the human world—a dream come true for Staz—where he, Fuyumi, and their associates' misadventurous quest is just about to begin. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Main characters
Staz Charlie Blood1670 fan favoritesExternal profileThe vampire, Staz C. Blood, is one of the most powerful district bosses in the demon world, fending off everyone who dares challenge him. But secretly, Staz is also quite obsessed with human culture, especially video games, manga, and everything that comes from Japan. When Staz makes a decision that he wants something, he's known for always accomplishing his goal and getting or doing whatever it is that he set out for. So, when the young Japanese girl, Fuyumi, wanders into the demon world by accident and dies, Staz declares that he'll help bring her back to life and is determined to do just that. And in helping her he also gets the chance to travel to the human world, somewhere he's always dreamed of going. Staz is sometimes viewed by others as having a lazy look about him, though they never do well to underestimate him as he's also very powerful. He has rapid healing abilities, as well as the ability to paralyze weaker demons with his stare, he's able to control humans and alter memories with his saliva, can suck out other demon's magic with his teeth, and can crush someone's heart from afar. He sometimes says things like "I might be a vampire, but first and foremost i'm me" and once lost his temper and nearly killed his friend Wolf while they were fighting when he questioned Staz's reasons for helping Fuyumi, and then scoffed at his statement of being himself before being a vampire. He's very stubborn, and is also notorius for his lack of common sense and his sometimes impetuous behavior.
Bell Hydra135 fan favoritesExternal profileBell Hydra is a sorceress of highest quality and meets Fuyumi and Staz after they use her gateway connecting the Demon World and Earth. Bell uses spatial magic which allows her to travel through gaps in space in order to reach a different destination. The Hydra is able to transport to anywhere just by willing it, while Bell requires a frame to jump through. By opening a frame or space, one is also able to see through it, like a window, allowing for someone to be spied on. She can also use her spatial magic to transport others or form portals that can redirect physical and magical attacks. She can also use her magic to dismember limbs by closing the frame around a person, such as she demonstrated when she captured and detained Akim. Through out the series, Bell helps to resurrect Fuyumi. Using her spatial magic, Bell often finds out information related to the dark plot brewing amongst the other characters of the story, but doesn't always tell others, and instead keeps to herself for later use.
Fuyumi Yanagi132 fan favoritesExternal profileBirthday: March 9 Blood type: A The human high-school-aged girl who becomes lost in the Demon World through unknown methods and becomes a ghost after being eaten by a carnivorous plant. The triangle headband that she always "wears" is a symbol of this. Fuyumi is (or was) a human girl from Japan, and because of this Staz became even more interested in her; he often asks her about anime and manga from the human world. She wishes to be resurrected as a human, and to help Staz achieve that goal. (Source: Blood Lad Wikia)
