Kotoyama

**Kotoyama** (コトヤマ, *Kotoyama*?), formerly known simply as **Koto** (コト, *Koto*?), is a Japanese mangaka and the author and illustrator of *Call of the Night*.

## History

Kotoyama was a manga fan from a young age, and was a fan of lots of shonen action series such as *GeGeGe no Kitaro* and *Dragon Ball*. In junior high, his father got him hooked onto Katsuhiro Otomo's works as well.

He started drawing manga at around the age of 20, and made his debut with ***Igujisu*** (イグジス, *Igujisu*?) on BookLive's *ComicLive! Drive*. While self-publishing his manga on the internet, he was scouted by *Weekly Shonen Sunday*'s editorial department.

This eventually lead to his first serialization, ***Dagashi Kashi*** (だがしかし, *Dagashi Kashi*?), which began on June 25, 2014 in *Shonen Sunday*'s issue 30 2014, and ended on April 11, 2018 in issue 20 2018.

## Collaborations

Kotoyama's *Call of the Night* was named after the song of the same name by Japanese hip-hop duo Creepy Nuts. After the manga's first volume was released, a PV collaboration featuring the song was aired.

On August 18, 2020, a collaborative music video featuring *Call of the Night* and popular rock duo Yorushika's song *Tobo* (逃亡, *Tōbō*?, lit. Escape) was posted on Sunday's YouTube channel.

Mrs. Mejiro

**Mejiro** (目 (メ) 代 (ジロ) , *Mejiro*?) is a character in *Call of the Night*. She was the mother of **Kyouko Mejiro**, who would later change her name to Anko Uguisu. While happy when Kyouko was young, she eventually started to neglect her daughter and have frequent fights with her husband, whom she suspected to be cheating on her. When there seemed to be the hope of them reconciling and being a happy family again, it was ripped away from them. Her husband turned into a vampire, killed her, and then got killed himself by Kyouko in self-defense.

## Appearance

Mrs. Mejiro was a woman of average height and build. She had shoulder-length brown hair with side bangs that she wore loose or in a ponytail. Her clothes of choice were a jacket with a white shirt underneath, along with skinny jeans. In another flashback, she is also shown wearing a bright-colored sweater.

## Personality

At her core, Mrs. Mejiro was a kind-hearted woman and loving mother but became neglectful of her daughter and distant because of her toxic marriage. However, she eventually realized the error of her ways and regretted her behavior. She was very forgiving, being able to see past her husband's numeral affairs, saying that, since she made her fair share of mistakes, she was willing to start things over with him together.

## Relationships

### Kyouko Mejiro

Mejiro was a loving mother but became cold as her marriage grew more miserable. Kyouko mentioned that her mother stopped calling her daughter by the affectionate nickname "kyo-chan" like she used to. When Kyouko spent a night away from home without her parents' permission, neither of her parents seemed to care. She eventually saw the error of her ways, profusely apologized to Kyouko, and was determined to help fix her broken family. She was also very protective of her daughter, reacting with intense rage when her vampirized husband struck Kyouko.

### Kyouichi Mejiro

She loved her husband, calling him "dear" even when their marriage became resentful. When Kyouichi admitted that he had numeral affairs, she was willing to forgive him and give their family a new start. When he hit Kyouko after touching the lighter she gave him, Mejiro was confused by the situation and asked him furiously why he struck their daughter after coming back and apologizing. She was killed immediately by having a lethal amount of blood sucked out of her.

## Abilities

As a normal human, Mrs. Mejiro had no extraordinary abilities.

## Trivia

* Her actual name hasn't been revealed yet.
* She mentioned that she often had to pick up her husband's belongings, as he had a habit of losing them.

Weekly Shōnen Sunday

Weekly Shōnen Sunday was first published on March 17, 1959, as a response to its rival Weekly Shōnen Magazine. The debut issue featured Shigeo Nagashima, the star player of the Yomiuri Giants on the cover, and a congratulatory article by Isoko Hatano, a noted child psychologist.

     *Shōnen Sunday*'s distinctive "pointing finger" that appears in the lower corner of every page on the left side of the magazine made its subtle debut in the 4/5 issue from 1969. This understated feature, ever present but easily overlooked, was referenced as a plot element in *20th Century Boys***'*.*** Sunday's more noticeable mascot, a helmeted fish, debuted in the 1980s.

Following here is a list of Shōnen Sunday covers and special arts featuring *Detective Conan*.

Kiyosumi Shirakawa

* Anime
* Manga

*"Laughing at my classless boss' classless jokes is giving me psychological damage."*
―Kiyosumi in Volume 2, Chapter 16
**Kiyosumi Shirakawa** (白 (シラ) 河 (カワ) 清 (キヨ) 澄 (スミ) , *Shirakawa Kiyosumi*?) is a magazine publisher and was one of Nazuna Nanakusa's clients before Nazuna met Kou Yamori.

## Appearance

Kiyosumi is a woman with a slender build, long black hair, and black eyes, for which she wears glasses with a red frame.

Her outfits vary but usually consist of open jackets of various colors, a white shirt underneath, grey pants or a pencil skirt with stockings, and black shoes with heels. She doesn't wear socks and frequently carries a handbag with her.

She wears a dark blue cold-shoulder t-shirt and pajama shorts underneath her outfit.

When she was 14, her school uniform looked identical to the girls' uniforms in Kou's school.

## Personality

Kiyosumi is a dedicated worker who genuinely enjoys her job. What she doesn't enjoy is the presence of her coworkers and boss, both of whom she resents, one reason being their jokes she feels forced to laugh at and because she feels treated like a lesser human being. She resents them so much that she eventually starts to cry at the thought of going back to them,

Like Kou, she enjoyed the freedom of walking around at night and the night's serenity ever since she was about 14. As an adult, Kiyosumi feels obligated to obey her boss and endure her work environment, despite how it affects her. She starts to envy Kou when he mentions that he wants to become a vampire, feeling a sense of relief when Kou tells her that he will also turn her into one in the future if she can't take it anymore.

## Abilities

As an average human, Kiyosumi doesn't possess any extraordinary abilities, except for possibly her skills as a magazine publisher.

## Trivia

* According to herself, she sings in a really loud voice when no one is nearby at night.

Lira Echigo

**Lira Echigo** (越後 (エチゴ) リラ, *Echigo Rira*?) is a student at the night school Nico Hirata teaches at, and falls in love at first sight with Kou Yamori, temporarily dating him.

## Appearance

Lira is a cute and unusually tall girl with a doll-like appearance. She has sparkly light brown hair and big dark eyes that, depending on her mood, are either full of light or lose all of their luster (Yandere eyes). She wears a headdress, dresses with patterns, like checked and flower patterns, and frills, along with baggy sleeves. Fittingly, her shoes and socks are also very old-fashioned and designed with patterns. On Halloween, she wore another cutesy dress with a ribbon at her collar.

## Personality

Lira is described as "someone with a fairytale-like aura" whose mind is constantly occupied with love. She is emotionally unstable, switching between moods in the blink of an eye. She is also traumatized by the bullying she received in the past and is very sensitive about people laughing at her. In general, Lira is friendly to others but is also very immature. When she falls in love, Lira becomes unresponsive towards anyone who isn't her current boyfriend, follows her boyfriend whenever she can, talks to him, and showers him with compliments without pause, much to the chagrin of everyone else.

Lira likes to read, being part of the literature club, though the books she owns at home are picture books. That doesn't mean she does not read regular literature, as she is a big fan of Kyouko Mejiro's diary and is fond of her writing style. She falls in love almost instantly, believing it is the work of destiny, but dumps her boyfriends after two weeks at most, explaining that she quickly loses interest. Lira also becomes very possessive when falling in love and is prone to jealousy, displaying yandere tendencies.

Lira is not pleased that Kou questions the validity of her love.Lira is upset that Kou knows her full name."Could it be...are you two-timing..."
## Abilities

As a normal human, Lira doesn't have any extraordinary abilities.

## Relationships

* Kou Yamori - Former Classmate and Ex-Boyfriend
* Nazuna Nanakusa - Former Classmate

## Trivia

* Lira hates her name as, when read out, it can sound like "ecchi gorilla" (えっちゴリラ, *ecchigorira*?), which is a name people used to bully her with during her childhood. They'd call her a gorilla due to her unusually tall height.
* Her name has been translated to Rila Echigo in the German localization.
* Lira's name may be in reference to the flower lilac, as it's written the same way in Japanese.
* According to Nico, most of the boys in class have dated Lira at one point.
* Lira sometimes refers to herself in third person.
Kurihara

**Kurihara** (久利原, *Kurihara*?) is a real estate agent who is specialized in the vampire market and a servant of Hatsuka Suzushiro.

## Appearance

Kurihara is a middle-aged-looking man with short black hair and a thin mustache. He wears a white shirt with its sleeves rolled up, as well as baggy dark-colored pants. When he's working as a real estate agent, he also wears a tie and glasses.

## Personality

Kurihara is unconditionally devoted to Hatsuka and obeys his every order, eagerly offering himself as a living couch when Hatsuka has nowhere to sit. He is also prone to jealousy when Hatsuka spends time with guests.  When working, a whole different side of Kurihara is shown, where he enthusiastically talks with his clients.

## Abilities

**Vampiric abilities:** As a vampire, Kurihara is immortal, can levitate and phase through objects, possesses superhuman speed, durability, and strength, as well as the ability to regenerate wounds much faster and better than humans.

## Relationships

	+ Hatsuka Suzushiro - Master and Love Interest
	+ 2 Unnamed Female Servants
	+ Nazuna Nanakusa - Client and Friend
* Kou Yamori

## Notable Relationships

#### Hatsuka Suzushiro

As a result of his conditioning, Kurihara can't live without Hatsuka. As soon as Hatsuka enters the apartment, Kurihara and the other servants eagerly await him and offer him their services, including serving as living furniture when Nazuna sits on the only couch available. Kurihara and the other servants become very upset and depressed when Hatsuka doesn't pay them enough attention. That, combined with Hatsuka's attitude towards them, also makes their relationship reminiscent of the relationship between a parent and a child.

## Trivia

* His name got revealed in chapter 170.
* Since his name wasn't revealed until later, he was identified as ヒゲ/beard in the anime.

Yoshihiko Zawa

**Yoshihiko Zawa** (澤 (ザワ) ヨシヒコ, *Zawa Yoshihiko*?) is a teacher at the school Kou Yamori dropped out of.

## Appearance

Zawa is a tall man with short, bright-colored hair and glasses whose outfit always consists of a suit.

## Personality

In school, Zawa has the reputation of a serious and no fun allowed adult, a reputation he rightfully earned as he doesn't tolerate students making jokes and interrupting his class, something that most teachers would overlook.

Outside of school, Zawa is a heavy alcoholic, drinking even after he has vomited, claiming alcohol to be the only fun he has, and saying that life as an adult is very dull. At night, his attitude is much more lax. He is very perceptive and knows that Kou was forcing himself to be an honor student, saying that he felt relief when Kou quit school and stopped forcing himself. Zawa admits that he hates both students and teachers and hated school since he was a child himself but still works there since he is proud of his job. School trips used to lift his spirit but in recent years, it has become more of a business-like affair for him.

He is single and has expressed interest in dating Seri Kikiyou after she clarified that she isn't an actual high-school student.

## Abilities

As an average human, he doesn't possess any extraordinary abilities.

## Trivia

* His full name was revealed in Chapter 137.

## Synopsis

Despite agreeing to meet up with Nazuna Nanakusa at night, Kou Yamori has no way of contacting her, and spends most of the night searching for her.

Kei Yamori

**Kei Yamori** (夜 (ヤ) 守 (モリ) ケイ, *Yamori Kei*?) is Kou Yamori's mother. She gave birth and got married at the age of twenty and got a divorce when her husband cheated on her. From that point on, she has been raising Kou as a single mother and works in the night entertainment industry.

## Appearance

Kei is an attractive woman with a relatively short build. She has long, bright hair that she wears loose. Her eyes with small pupils are identical to those of her son, and she is shown to wear glasses at home occasionally. Her left ear is exposed and features an earring.

While at work, she wears outfits typical for hostesses, such as a long-sleeved shirt with frills at the hips and a pencil skirt. At home, she wears a long sweatshirt that ends just above her knees.

## Personality

In her first appearance, Kei shows a relaxed demeanor. Despite caring and being concerned about Kou, Kei doesn't mind him skipping school and walking around at night, believing she has no right to act like a "proper parent" because she spends little time with him due to the nature of her job, thinking that she is a bad mother.

She can be hot-tempered, like when, on two occasions, someone came to talk to Kou, and he kept them waiting because he was sleeping. In those situations, she isn't above hurling insults at her son. Kei also doesn't give Kou presents for Christmas, asking why he should get anything if she doesn't.

## Abilities

As an average human, Kei doesn't possess any kind of extraordinary ability.

## Relationships

* Kou Yamori - Son

Allies* Akira Asai
* Kyouko Mejiro
* Azami
* Susuki

## Trivia

* Her height seems to be inconsistent. In one panel she is shown to be shorter than Kou while in another panel it seems like she is taller than Akira, who is generally shown to be taller than Kou. The most likely explanation for this (Aside from inconsistency by Kotoyama) would be her wearing shoes with heels.
* Like Kou, she became a dropout after middle school.

**Afterward**

"Thank you so much for picking up Call of the Night. It took about a year, working at an even pace, to put together all the elements, brainstorming stuff like "I want to draw apartment complex" and "vampires are cool." I asked my favorite hip-hop group, Creepy Nuts, to let me use their song "Call of the Night" as the title. To think how, just ten years ago, you'd never hear rap music in battle scenes or TV shows! It makes me happy how things have changed. I'm putting a lot of thought into this manga."

I Hope you'll keep reading.

See you in volume 2.

Chapter 1

## *Call of the Night*

*"Don't you know it's the night? Time to be free. Tell it like it is. If you don't loosen up now, when will you... boy?"*
―Nazuna Nanakusa to Kou Yamori
Chapter 1: ***Call of the Night*** (Japanese: ***Yofukashi no Uta***) is the first chapter of the first volume of *Call of the Night*.

## Plot

Kou Yamori, a fourteen year old Komori School student, suffers from insomnia and decides to start skipping school. At night, Yamori sneaks out of his apartment to venture around the streets of Komori by himself. He acknowledges how amazing the night feels, almost as if he is the only person in the world, therefore, Yamori can be more carefree to do whatever he wants in his own night. While having fun by himself, Yamori ponders about his reputation as an honor student at his school, but his circumstances only seemed fine physically, since he actually trusts nobody.

One day, his classmate Sakura Asakura confessed to him, but Yamori turned her down politely, since he does not understand the nature of romance or crushes. Because of that, Asakura's friends, Michiko and Saki Fujiwara confronted Yamori and verbally harassed him for rejecting Asakura. Afterwards, he had became tired of his school life, thus he began skipping. Upon coming across a vending machine, Yamori considers trying to buy a beer, but suddenly, Nazuna Nanakusa approaches him somewhat menacingly. After Nanakusa assures Yamori she will not report him for attempted underage drinking, she offers to help him sleep.

While wandering around together, Nanakusa explains that night owls are not actually satisfied with their current life. Yamori is surprised by how Nanakusa can cheerfully greet strangers as if she knows them, and she responds that nightime is the time to act freely, therefore they can finally feel satisfied. After loosening up a little bit, Yamori considers Nanakusa as someone he can fall for, and she decides to bring him to her apartment building for him to sleep.

Upon arriving at Nanakusa's apartment, Yamori is told to lay down on the futon while the girl reveals her rather strange outfit. Yamori, despite finding Nanakusa's behavior odd, agrees to try and sleep on the futon, feeling calm enough to pretend to fall asleep. Believing the boy is truly unconscious, Nanakusa uses the opportunity to suck some of Yamori's blood by biting his neck, and much to her astonishment, his blood is really delicious.

Maid Café "Vamp"

* Anime, Inside
* Manga, Outside

**Vamp** is a maid café Midori Kohakobe, Arisa, and, occasionally, Nazuna Nanakusa work at. The customer base is primarily otakus, though Arisa also loves the maids and visits the cafe on her days off. Sometimes, the establishment also sees guests such as Kou Yamori and later Lovegreen, Midori's servant, who joins the other otakus after leaving his apartment for the first time in a while.

## Structure and Network

The work inside the café consists of the employees preparing food and drinks and serving them to their costumers while acting cute. It's said that, while most maids put on an act, Midori's cuteness comes natural to her, which is why she quickly became the most popular maid in the establishment. Nazuna works there from time to time because the salary is good and because the employees get to drink beer after work. According to Midori herself, she and the other (regular) maids work there because they love the attention they are getting, which she describes as nothing to be ashamed of.
The café has a website, an Instagram page (in the anime), and a chat group where the maids communicate with each other.

Beside her main work, Midori frequently advertises Vamp by handing out flyers to people on the streets. On Halloween, Hatsuka joins her out of boredom and helps her hand out flyers during a parade.

The maids also assemble to hold concerts on a stage where they appear like idols, to which their fans react accordingly by holding glow sticks.

LoveGreen

**LoveGreen** (ＬｏｖｅＧｒｅｅｎ, *Rabugurīn*?) is a hikikomori otaku who became the underling of his friend, Midori Kohakobe.

## Appearance

LoveGreen looks like a stereotypical otaku, being overweight and wearing glasses that, in typical otaku fashion, often glow/reflect light. He wears a headband and his hair is short and slick (According to Midori).

His outfit is an ordinary t-shirt and a dark pair of pants.

He used to be much thinner in the past and lacked his glasses for a while.

## Personality

LoveGreen doesn't just look like a stereotypical otaku but also acts like one, using terms like "yours truly" when referring to himself and being a pervert.

Despite that, he is also incredibly polite, treating visitors with high respect, especially if they come with Midori. He is very loyal to Midori and dedicates his life to her. However, he can also prioritize his own needs over hers, being very secretive when it comes to his most cherished possession from his human past, finding it difficult to let go.

LoveGreen is a hikikomori, meaning he almost always stays in his apartment because he doesn't think he would fit into society. As a result, he didn't know any other vampire, besides Midori, until much later. He has a habit of eating ramen, not because he cares about the taste but because he finds it stimulating.

## Trivia

* "LoveGreen" is a pseudonym, and his real name hasn't been revealed.

**A Pretty Big Mosquito** (大 (おお) きめの蚊 (か) , *Ōkime no Ka*?) is the second chapter of the *Call of the Night* manga series by Kotoyama.

## Synopsis

The strange woman offers up a lame excuse, however it's apparent that she's sucked some of Kou Yamori's blood! Is she a vampire? Will he now turn into a vampire? How *do* you turn into a vampire? The woman, who reveals herself to be called Nazuna Nanakusa, explains all to Kou.

## Characters

* Kou Yamori
* Nazuna Nanakusa
Akihito Akiyama

* Anime
* Manga

**Akihito Akiyama** (秋 (アキ) 山 (ヤマ) 昭 (アキ) 人 (ヒト) , *Akiyama Akihito*?) is a close friend and underling of Seri Kikiyou, who is also his love interest.

He is a human in his first appearance but gets turned into a vampire shortly after.

## Appearance

Akihito is a tall and thin guy, has a mole under his right eye, black hair, and wears a buttoned white shirt with a blue collar and sleeves, black pants, brown shoes without socks, and glasses of thick framework, giving it a look weak and derisory.

After becoming a vampire, he wears the same kind of clothes but with darker and cooler colors. His shirt's dark blue, loose, and he started wearing a black jacket. He also has two piercings in his left ear; now looking cool and relaxed.

## Personality

The initial personality of Akihito was a kind and attentive person. In moments of clarity, he is shown to be very wise and philosophical in the way he views things in life. When he met Seri Kikiyou, Akihito slowly became more expressive, leading him to fall in love with her.

But the love for Seri became a creepy obsession because of the recent lack of attention she gave him. After Kou Yamori helped him and Seri understand their feelings for each other, Akihito asked her to turn him into her servant. After becoming a vampire, Akihito's personality mainly remained the same, except he developed an intense thirst for blood, telling Kou that he felt the urge to bite him, especially since Kou already had bite marks on his neck. He also became much more confident and "cool", as described by Mahiru Seki.

## Relationships

* Kou Yamori - Friend
* Mahiru Seki †
* Hatsuka Suzushiro

## Notable Relationships

### **Seri Kikyo:**

Akihito learned to know Seri after he got dumped by his ex-girlfriend and was tired of romance, something Seri could relate to. They established a good friendship, but Seri would subconsciously flirt with him, and he liked it, eventually falling in love with her. After she stopped giving him attention, his mental state deteriorated, and he was obsessed with seeing her again. Despite Seri mourning their friendship, Akihito asked her to make him her servant. They were close once again, though Akihito displayed his old menhera tendencies when Seri flirted with other guys and later promised to form new memories as Akihito got rid of what reminded him of his human past.

## Abilities

**Vampiric abilities:** As a vampire, Akihito is immortal, can levitate and phase through objects, possesses superhuman speed, durability, and strength, as well as the ability to regenerate wounds much faster and better than humans.

## Trivia

* As noted by Seri, Akihito's eyesight was initially horrible, which meant he always had to wear glasses with strong lenses, but it drastically improved once he became a vampire.
