In *Dream of Spring*, the first volume of this new suite of tales, teen vampires Edgar and Alan are in the United Kingdom, Wales, 1944. WWII rages, and Alan is weak as they encounter figures from their past―Falka, a charismatic vampire, kind and sinister in turns; Chloe, an emissary from the Village of Poe, greedy for Edgar's rich blood (granted by the King himself) and, above all, power; and others too mysterious to mention. Meanwhile, Edgar becomes the subject of fascination for their neighbors: 16-year-old Blanca and her little brother, Noah, Jewish refugees who long to reunite with their mother and father. Alan, dependent on Edgar and often left in the dark about vampire society, is jealous, angry, and despondent.

The story follows the life of a teenage boy named "Mesh," so-called for his unique "mesh"-colored hair: blonde with silver strands on the sides. It begins with a scene where Mesh, after being beaten, escapes from a mob and encounters Milon, a forger and painter. Mesh ends up staying at Milon's house, and the two form an unlikely bond as they navigate life together. Each chapter is a poetic blend of crime, peaceful everyday moments, or the vibrant nightlife of artists in a fictionalized Paris. *Mesh* is regarded as one of Hagio Moto's defining works, marking a pivotal shift in her artistic style. It was her first series to adopt a more realistic look while retaining the ethereal beauty characteristic of 1970s shoujo art. The story ventures into more mature themes while continuing to explore Hagio's recurring motifs, such as parent-child relationships and adolescence. Volume 1: 1. Mesh 2. Rouge Volume 2: 3.
