action

Mahiru Shirota is a common high school student who likes to do things the easy way. One day he finds a black cat on the way home, calls it Kuro , and decides to take it with him and look after it. When Mahiru comes home from school the next day, he is surprised that there is an unknown person in his apartment instead of his cat. Mahiru finds out that this person is Kuro and turns into a cat when exposed to sunlight. The black cat reveals that he is actually one of seven vampires , who represent the seven deadly sins , and who stands for laziness . He also confessed that he and Mahiru had made a temporary contract the moment he tied a bell around his neck and called his name when the vampire was in his human form. This contract was ultimately concluded when Kuro accidentally drank Mahiru's blood and thus became his servant, known as Servamp and Mahiru, his master, called Eve .

Shortly afterwards, the Mahiru and Kuro first met Tsubaki, who claims to be the vampire of melancholy and thus Kuros and the other six Servamps eighth brother. Mahiru decides to find the remaining vampires of the seven deadly sins to fight together against Tsubaki and his subjects.

main characters

Mahiru Shirota ( 城 田 真 昼 , Shirota Mahiru )
Speaker: Takuma Terashima
Mahiru Shirota is a first year high school student (10th grade). His mother died in an accident when he was little. He doesn't have a father, so he stayed with his busy uncle. Due to the fact that he was on his own most of the time, he has acquired many talents for housework on his own. In the meantime, these have even contributed positively to his school life, where he has already been able to use them several times for class work. After he took on Kuro and found out who he really is, by accident he became his master, called Eve . He received a weapon that resembles a broom and as a sign of an Eves (主人（イ ヴ）, German "master") serves. It is said that the weapons reflected the personalities of the respective Eves and that the Mahiru Kuro attacked with a broom.
Sleepy Ash (沈 黙 す る 終 焉（ス リ ー ピ ー ア ッ シ ュ）, Surīpī Asshu , German "silent death")
Speaker: Yūki Kaji
Sleepy Ash is the servamp, or vampire servant, of laziness . Mahiru called him Kuro ( ク ロ ) in his contract because of the color of the fur in its cat shape. He is the oldest of the seven vampire siblings and, according to the testimony of the vampire of greed, the strongest of them all. However, this is in contradiction to his rather sluggish personality, as he often looks tired, plays video games and eats junk food. He's also the only vampire who doesn't have a subclass . Kuro keeps his past a secret, just a vague mention is enough to anger the otherwise lazy Kuro. When Mahiru penetrates Sleepy Ash's memory, he learns why he doesn't talk about his past: He had an argument with his brother Greed when Kuro decided to kill the person responsible for his and his siblings' transformation into vampires after this one Request from organization C3 received. He eventually kills his master, which tormented him and ultimately leads him to question his action self-critically. Because of his remorse and grief, he did not decide to act first until someone orders him until Mahiru urged him to admit the mistake he had made. Kuro's weapon are razor-sharp claws.

He comes from a very wealthy family, but has a very weak body, which means that he suffers from exhaustion very quickly. He has a degrading character, which is partly due to his lack of social contacts. He was conceived as a illegitimate child through an affair between his father and a housekeeper. This affair resulted in his father's wife killing Misono's birth mother with the help of the vampire of envy . After that, Misono raised her as her own son until she tried to kill him. As a result, she asked Mikuni, Misono's older half-brother, to kill her to save Misono's life. Since Misono knew nothing about this background for a long time, he hated his half-brother.

After Mikuni killed his mother, he manipulated Misono's memories so that he was unable to recall the reason for Mikuni's banishment. When Misono noticed the manipulation, however, the bond between himself and All of Love was strained for some time, which Tsubaki's subclass could exploit to destroy his pocket watch, the source of Misono's power, which led to Misono's becoming even weaker.

He also shows hatred for his own servamp, greed , which he mostly describes as a "rotting hedgehog". Light has two weapons: On the one hand, shoes with which he can manipulate the speed at which his victims are healed, and on the other hand, a piano with which he can play songs that can evoke the most varied of reactions from his listeners.

A few years later, Sakuya met the same fate. But shortly before he died he was saved by Tsubaki. He and Mahiru met in middle school and became friends, which led to him manipulating Mahiru's memories to pretend a sandbox friendship.
