The Vexations of a Shut-In Vampire Princess
Three years into her life as a shut-in, vampire Terakomari Gandesblood (Komari for short) awakens to find she’s been appointed as a Commander in the Mulnite Imperial Army! The thing is, her new unit consists solely of belligerent ruffians who revolt against their superiors at the slightest hint of weakness. Although Komari hails from a line of vampires as powerful as they are prestigious, her refusal to drink blood has made her the picture of mediocrity-scrawny, un-coordinated, and inept at magic. With the odds stacked against her, will the help of her trusty (and slightly infatuated) maid Vill be enough for this recluse to blunder her way to success? Or will Komari rue the day she ever left the safety of her room?

This means war! When Komari unintentionally disrespects one of her fellow Crimson Lords, Flöte Mascarail, things escalate until she finds herself pitted against the other generals in a deadly competition where the loser gets fired (read: blown up).Though most of her opponents are as tough as nails, Komari finds an unlikely ally in Sakuna Memoir, a newly appointed Crimson Lord who shares both her timidity and love of reading. If only Vill weren’t so jealous! But while all this is playing out, a sinister plot involving the assassination of key politicians in the Empire brews. With so much going on, will this shut-in vampire ever get a moment’s peace?!

Fresh off her success in the Six Nations War, Komari is invited to the Heavenly Paradise, a Far Eastern nation where cherry blossoms dance in perpetuity. There, she learns that one of her new allies, Karla Amatsu, is participating against her will in a weeklong ritual to determine the next ruler of the country. Always looking to shirk her duties, Komari writes the whole thing off as someone else’s problem…until Karla announces that the vampire girl will be assisting her in a battle to the death against the opposing candidate on the final day of the competition!

Knock, knock. It’s the Church! A wave of religious fervor overtakes the Mulnite Empire as it prepares to receive a diplomatic visit from Spica La Gemini, the Pope of the Holy Church. But when the Empress goes missing on the day of Spica’s arrival, it falls to Komari to tide things over with the guest of honor. Needless to say, our accident-prone heroine totally botches it by thoughtlessly expressing skepticism about God and organized faith, inciting the Pope to declare war on the Mulnite Empire. Soon, Komari and her fellow Crimson Lords are stretched thin quelling insurrections from angry believers. And to make matters worse, Komari’s loyal maid Vill has been whisked away to the Pope’s headquarters! Can Komari really pull through without the aid of her most ardent supporter?

Here comes the bride!

Sympathetic to Lingzi’s plight, Komari agrees to travel to the girl’s homeland to help break off her marriage. There’s just one catch—the only way Komari can get the public to accept the cancelation of the wedding is to pass herself off as Lingzi’s true love!

It seems like every time Komari wakes up, she finds herself on a battlefield...but not today. This is even worse—now she's in the Netherworld! Thankfully Vill, Nelia, and Estelle are with her, and the four of them join up and begin a journey into the unknown. Along the way, they meet a mysterious girl named Colette who seems to know Vill. But why would someone in another world know Komari's maid? And will Komari and her friends ever find a way back home?

After narrowly avoiding death at the hands of Tremolo Parcostella, Komari awakens to the sight of her mortal enemy, Spica La Gemini, and the rest of Inverse Moon. Instead of killing Komari on the spot, however, Spica hits her with an outrageous proposal: team up to take down Star Citadel. The two form an uneasy alliance and head for the prosperous mining city of Neoplus, where Star Citadel is supposedly operating behind the scenes. But will their combined might be enough to usurp the most powerful organization in the Netherworld?

Following their victory over Star Citadel, Komari and Spica set out on a journey with a common goal: gather the Netherworld’s Dark Cores, unseal Spica’s friend at the God Slayer Tower, and stop the wars erupting across the realm. Their plans quickly go awry, however, when a mysterious individual appears, claiming to be a member of an organization called Observatory. Six hundred years ago, this man crushed Spica’s dreams, and now he’s returned to kill her and Komari in an effort to uphold the status quo. After barely escaping with their lives, Komari and her friends travel to the Holy Lehysian Empire in search of a Dark Core, only to find they’ve been framed for inciting the recent outbreak of conflict. With nearly everyone turned against Komari, Spica, and their allies, a desperate battle begins over the fate of the Netherworld!

With the crisis in the Netherworld finally resolved, Komari comes home to her original world craving some serious rest and relaxation. But before she can go full shut-in mode, the Empress reminds her that, as a Crimson Lord, she must win a sports-war match every three months or be blown to smithereens. Salvation arrives in the form of Leona Flatt, who is hungry for a victory against the Seventh Unit, but can our hapless heroine survive the girl’s anti-Komari rules? Then it’s off to the Enchanted Lands, where the mysterious Smooch League is trying to set Komari up with Lingzi, which is then followed by an impromptu tour of the Foreworld to help little Pope Clenent DIV learn what it takes to be a leader. Amid all this hubbub, however, the Imperial Capital is rocked by a serial kidnapping spree, and the perpetrator has ties to a powerful new enemy…
