What's Baban Baban Ban Vampire ?

Ranmaru Mori, a 450-year-old vampire, secretly working at the traditional bathhouse Koi no Yu. His ultimate goal? To taste the “ultimate flavor” of 18-year-old virgin blood. He keeps a close watch over Rihito Tatsuno, the 15-year-old heir to the bathhouse, while navigating the challenges of modern human relationships. However, Rihito's budding crush on a classmate, Aoi Shinozuka, threatens Ranmaru’s carefully laid plans, leading to humorous and dramatic situations.

Episode 1: “The Bathhouse Vampire”

Ranmaru Mori has spent the last decade working at Koi no Yu as a live-in employee. Behind his diligent work lies a secret—he’s a vampire intent on savoring Rihito Tatsuno’s blood when the boy turns 18. But his mission faces an unexpected hurdle when Rihito, on his first day of high school, falls for his classmate Aoi.

Ranmaru, determined to protect Rihito’s purity, vows to stop this romance in its tracks. Utilizing his centuries of wisdom and cunning, he takes extreme measures, including a late-night visit to Aoi’s home, setting the stage for hilarity and suspense.
