What’s Call of the Night All About?
For those new to the series, “Call of the Night” follows Ko Yamori, an insomniac schoolboy who starts wandering the streets at night to escape his mundane life. During one of these nocturnal excursions, he meets Nazuna Nanakusa, a beautiful and mysterious girl who turns out to be a vampire. After a taste of the night life (and a taste of his blood), Ko decides he wants to become a vampire himself – but there’s a catch: he needs to fall in love with Nazuna first.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, Season 2 is not expected to cover the entire manga series, which concluded with 20 volumes in total. The first season adapted approximately 5 volumes, so Season 2 will likely continue the story but leave room for potential future seasons.
Absolutely! The story of Call of the Night builds continuously, with important character development and world-building established in the first season. Thankfully, reruns are currently airing in Japan, and the entire first season is available on HIDIVE for international viewers.
Yes, though it develops slowly and uniquely. The premise hinges on Ko needing to genuinely fall in love with Nazuna to become a vampire, but neither character fully understands what love really means. Their relationship evolves in unexpected ways throughout the series, and Season 2 will continue to explore this central theme alongside the introduction of new romantic complications.
