Hipira is a little vampire who lives the life of a typical boy, attending school and dealing with bullies along the way.

More of the story: However, he also has a soft spot for exploring, playing pranks on others and having grand adventures! Whether he's befriending a human soul, scaring his neighbours by pretending day has come or encountering giant frogs and aliens, Hipira is always getting himself into and out of trouble.
