Summary: In the 21st century, a family of vampires settled down on the grounds of Japan and lived a modest life whilst sucking on the blood of humans discreetly. However, the eldest daughter of the family, Karin Maaka, has an embarrassing secret which cannot be revealed to anyone. Even though she is a vampire, she does not lack blood like her family members. Instead, she overproduces blood to the extent that she transfuses the excess into her victims, hence increasing their blood levels. Despite her troubling body characteristic, she attends school like any other high school student, that is until a new transfer student, Kenta Usui, enters her life.

Very Funny, Unique Sort of Vampirism

This anime is very funny. Maka is sort of the anti-vampire: sweet, a bloodgiver instead of taker, able to stand the sunlight, having no problems with garlic (although here vampires only hate garlic because they have strong noses), and wanting a normal life. Vampires in this anime respond to strong emotions in humans according to what each vampire prefers: for example, Maka responds to unhappiness while her brother responds to stress. When Maka's brother feeds off a woman, her stress is relieved and when Maka gives someone her blood, that person becomes happy. I rather enjoy this new type of vampirism.

The anime has some drama, school life, lots of comedy (mostly sort of slapstick), some horror, and romance. Maka develops a relationship with a boy who alone knows her secret and the two become friends and towards the end, maybe more. The anime stays quite light despite the heavy themes. This is also one of the enjoyable things about it.

Have fun, Karin (or Vampire Karin or Chibi Vampire) is a fun watch!
