Episode One

So the story of Yui Komori begins as the scene starts with landscape and
her being driven to the mansion where the Sakamaki brothers reside…….

Yui is driven to the mansion in silence, and when she arrives, the gate is closed. Within moments, as soon as she steps onto the property, rain and thunder start up. She manages to make her way to the mansion,and lets herself in. She looks around and sees Ayato sleeping on the couch. She goes over to see if he could he could help her, and she realizes his heart isn’t beating. She panics and disturbs Ayato from his sleep.

Snatching her phone, he wakes up and complains about her noise. He almost bites her after a few moments, and Reiji comes in just in time, telling Ayato to do his activities somewhere else. Ayato already comes up with Yui’s nickname, “Pancake.” He explains the nickname, telling her it was because she was flat-chested.

Laito is the third vampire to show up, and licks Yui. His nickname for Yui, is “Little Bitch.” As the series goes on, Laito becomes a very likable vampire, and his feelings change towards Yui. Kanato comes in after Laito, and his appearance instantly tells the viewer that out of all the vampires there; he is the psychotic one.

It’s very interesting to see just how much the vampire men change from episode one to episode twelve. Of course, Shu is still kind of lazy, but he has changed somewhat as well.

The communication between the vampires can be quite amusing, especially when Ayato calls himself “Yours Truly.” Subaru’s reaction to it is enough to get a chuckle out of people, and when he says something, Ayato gets feisty back.

At this point they are all trying to figure out why Yui was brought to their mansion to begin with. Because Yui is nervous at this point, she tries to leave. Reiji stops her, reprimanding her for trying to leave when he was trying to figure out why she was brought there in the first place. It turns out Shu had spoken to someone about Yui coming and explained to Yui and the others that the man told him they had a guest arriving, and because she was from a church, they need to show her respect.

Shu also tells them that they cannot kill her. Reiji then claims that there are no misunderstandings, so he introduces Yui to himself and the other vampires. Out of all of them, Laito does come across the more laidback vampire, while Ayato does tease/taunt her. But just like Laito, he starts having feelings towards her other than just for her blood.

Laito and Kanato want to bite her again, so Yui gets away and falls, scraping her knee enough to make it bleed. Of course that catches the attention of the vampires, and she tries to use her cross to protect herself. There is no reaction to it whatsoever, except for a little smile and chuckle from Shu.

Yui runs away, and runs into Laito and eventually Ayato at the doors. She turns around and heads up the stairs and goes into a room where she gets a sharp pain in her chest. She finds a book and a photo of herself as a baby, sadly discovering she was adopted. This is where the whole plot begins, really.

Ayato and the others find her in the room and ask why she was in there, as it had been locked for reasons. After a few moments, and Subaru getting snippy, Ayato and Laito start to feed on her and Shu knocks a framed painting off the wall, causing the two vampires to stop from taking even more blood.


For a beginning episode, it does give you a lot to look forward to. You get a dose of all the vampires personalities, a little bit of Yui’s past, which she didn’t even know about. Sometimes first episodes can be a bit dull, but this one wasn’t too bad. Note: If you continue watching past episodes one and two, you’ll learn about each of the vampires’ past and why they treat Yui the way they do. It really does do a good job explaining, and you’ll understand. Yui does improve over time too, so if she’s the only reason you may want to give up watching, just give it at least two or three episodes. She really does improve. Stay tuned as the review for episode two will come up soon! Thanks for reading.
