**Seraph of the End: Blood Brothers** (終わりのセラフ ブラッド・ブラザーズ, *Owari no Seraph: Buraddo Burazāzu*) is an English fan comic written and illustrated by Aoi Shirobane with an alternate-parallel storyline to *Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign*. It focuses on the story of Hazuki Hakura and his internal struggle of trusting other people after a history of having his best friend betray him to die after the apocalyptic virus outbreak.

## Plot

In the year 2012, an apocalyptic virus has spread all around the world, causing humanity to be in the brink of extinction and allowing vampires to capture the remaining humans to be turned as their livestock.

Four years later, the Japanese Imperial Demon Army has made a move to rescue other survivors while killing their vampire captors and the monsters called the Four Horsemen of John at the same time. It came to the point where the Moon Demon Company was appointed to prevent all-out massacre in Tokyo by being assigned in Nagoya. In the same time period, the human city of Minato was almost on the verge of being overwhelmed by vampires had it not been for the Vampire Extermination Unit assigned there led by Seiren Nījima and his army.

Second Lieutenant, Hazuki Hakura, though grateful that his hometown was spared from being ruled over by vampires, sought to find the person who left him out to die when the Apocalypse happened and enact his revenge against him---even when there was a good reason for doing so.

### Main Characters

* Voiced by: Yūsuke Kobayashi, Sora Amamiya (childhood) (Japanese); Jason Liebrecht (English)

Hazuki is the protagonist of the story, a member of the Hakura family, and the leader of his own squad. Despite his leadership skills, Hazuki has trouble in conversing freely with his peers and keeps a certain distance with them, which makes him look like a loner to most. However, his past reveals that he had a best friend who he completely trusted a lot, but after the Apocalypse, this best friend of his abandoned him after promising him to find help. This renders Hazuki to have trust issues and a desire for revenge against his ex-best friend. He is a Second Lieutenant and his Cursed Gear is **Shizutama** (静弾, lit. *Silent Bullet*), a manifestation-type demon weapon belonging to the Bodhisattva series that takes in the form of a hunting rifle.

Originally a human hailing from Europe, Roman came to Japan as an exchange student and befriended Hazuki. However, in the midst of their schooling, the Apocalypse happened which rendered Roman and Hazuki trapped in school under harsh cold weather. Roman volunteered to find help, but was unable to return due to being attacked by a vampire on the way. Using his remaining strength, he lured a group of soldiers into finding a sickly Hazuki before disappearing without a word. Years after, Roman becomes a member of Chloe's faction, but refuses to drink human blood due to his pacifist nature, which makes him ostracized by others for being too soft. He compensates this by being his mistress' strategist, and he owns a first-class weapon in the form of a katana.
