About Karin: Chibi Vampire

Looking for background on Karin: Chibi Vampire (かりん)? This comedy, romance and supernatural series by J.C.STAFF (2005) starts out like this. The setup: Maaka Karin comes from a family of vampires living in Japan, but she is not a normal vampire. Vampires are normally supposed to drink the blood of their victims but Karin suffers from a condition that causes her body to produce excessive amounts of blood.

Also worth knowing: About once a month, she has to get rid of the excess blood by giving it to her "victims. She somehow manages to go to school like everyone else her age. Well, things are about to get more complicated.

Think of it as a pick for viewers who want something light between heavier series. With 24 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
