Mito, who has no family to rely on, lives on the streets, disguised as a boy.

Because her very existence depends on her secret not being found out, every day is a new danger--to say nothing of that vampire!

Meanwhile, Ruka, not knowing Mito's a girl, dotes on her night and day in an attempt to ripen her ""disgusting male blood,"" but when real feelings develop...this dangerous romance between a crossdressing girl and an obsessive vampire begins!
