A vampiric romantic comedy...? After a lifetime of hardship due to a curse placed on him by his grandfather, all Ryouta wants is to be left alone. However, when he wanders into the mountains to find some peace and quiet, instead he finds a town taken over by vampires! To make matters worse, one of its residents, a haughty (and rather eccentric) girl, soon sets her sights on him with the goal of making him her servant. Now, Ryouta has a choice to make-escape back to his old life in Japan or live out his days as the minion of Shiren Fuyukura in the quirky town of Akinomiya. (Source: Yen Press)

“That summer is one I’ll never forget.” Maidens living in despair and their tale of sweet death and rebirth. A deserted station platform. Sugar plums. A sunflower field. And an abandoned train car. These four things pull me back to my memory of a mysterious girl. Ligaya. Thinking about it now… It was from then on that my summer truly began. The local train line where she was supposed to commit suicide was decomissioned, rendering the life-insurance suicide plan of Misachi Ariga (a middle school second-year student with irregular periods and a taste disorder) futile. While at a loss on what to do, she meets an older girl whose name means “Happiness” in Tagalog. A girl named Ligaya. “I’m going to revive this fella as the Ghost Train!” The enigmatic girl vowed to revive the abandoned train and grant “Death” to the suicidal Misachi. The unforgettable summer of Misachi and Ligaya begins. (Source: Seikasha, translated)
