What the books are about

The novels are supernatural detective fiction: private investigators solve crimes in a world where vampires, werewolves, and other beings exist. A major through-line follows Aya Rindō and detective Tsugaru Shinuchi as they take on cases including a 19th-century France murder investigation involving a noble vampire.

How closely the anime follows the books

• Core premise and main cast: taken directly from the novels.
• Adaptation structure: the anime adapts selected cases/arcs; sequencing and pacing may be reorganized for an episodic TV format.
• Tone/genre: it keeps the mix of deduction-heavy dialogue and gothic-supernatural atmosphere characteristic of the books.
