The Case Study of Vanitas

• Edit source

The Case Study of Vanitas ( ヴァニタスの手記 , Vanitas no Carte ) is a shonen manga by Jun Mochizuki. The manga began its serialization in Monthly Gangan Joker starting in December 2015. Yen Press has licensed it for English release. In March 2020, an anime adaptation was announced to be production by BONES. [1]

Rumors revolving around The Book of Vanitas, a clockwork grimoire of dubious reputation, draw Noé, a young vampire in search of a friend's salvation, to Paris. What awaits him in the City of Flowers, however, is not long hours treading the pavement or rifling through dusty bookshops in search of the tome. Instead, his quarry comes to him...in the arms of a man claiming to be a vampire doctor! Thrust into a conflict that threatens the peace between humans and vampires, will Noé cast in his lot with the curious and slightly unbalanced Vanitas and his quest to save vampirekind?

The Case Study of Vanitas

" I'll do as I please, use methods I choose, and, no matter what you people want... I will save you without fail! " — Vanitas

Stories tell of a mysterious clockwork grimoire called The Book of Vanitas which, once opened, is said to place a curse upon the reader that is worse than death itself. Drawn to Paris on rumors of the book's existence, Noé, a vampire, boards the airship La Baleine to confirm it for himself. There, he's suddenly attacked by a fellow vampire who loses control of herself after her true name , the foundation of a vampire's self, is corrupted.

In steps the enigmatic, self-professed "vampire doctor" Vanitas wielding his namesake tome , which he uses not to curse but to cure. Claiming he inherited the book as well as his name from the original Vanitas , a vengeful vampire born under the ill-fated blue moon, he cheerfully recruits Noé to work with him in eradicating the malady that's robbing vampires of their true names — and their sanity .

The Case Study of Vanitas ( Vanitas no Carte , or The Memoirs of Vanitas ) is an ongoing 2015 Steampunk fantasy manga by Jun Mochizuki of PandoraHearts fame. It runs in Square Enix's monthly Gangan Joker magazine and is simulpublished in English by Yen Press . An anime adaptation by Studio Bones began airing in July 2021.

Contains examples of:

• Adaptation Distillation : The anime adaptation maintains the basic story, but excludes explanations of world building, several action sequences, dialogues, some foreshadowing and minor characters.
• Adaptation Explanation Extrication : In the beginning of the Bal Masque arc in the manga, Dominique has her two attendants chain Vanitas to a giant wooden wheel so she can interrogate him about what he really wants with Noe and his Archiviste powers. For some reason, the anime adaptation cuts out her attendants, showing Vanitas still being chained to the wheel, but it creates some confusion as to how a girl of Dominique's stature and size could possibly be capable of putting him, a grown man, on there without help. It also creates some confusion as to why Vanitas would even let Dominique chain him to a giant wheel, since he doesn't seem like the type of person who would just let some girl do that to him. Possibly subverted: Dominique as a vampire is physically stronger than the average human so it could be feasible she can overpower Vanitas by herself, though that’s still debatable.
• Alternate History : The series takes place in a world where the 16th century's alchemist Paracelsus altered the World Formula with the Tower of Babel and created those that are known as vampires. The manga starts around 300 years after the incident, in a version of 1889 Paris where the Tower of the Sun was built instead of the Eiffel Tower.
• Ancient Tomb : The Catacombs of Paris appear as the setting of the third arc, as well as the secret lair of the Chasseurs.
• The anime's first opening sequence, played over the upbeat song "Sora to Utsuro," features the two protagonists, Noé and Vanitas, going on a tour around Paris where they visit the many attractions in the city and Vanitas plays babysitter for an excited Noé. This makes the anime look like a happy-go-lucky Bromantic Comedy set in a mundane France. The series is actually a vampire story taking place in a Steampunk version of 1889 Paris, containing plenty of drama, action, horror, and tragedy that wouldn't be expected from that carefree opening.
• The second opening sequence also shows nothing but Vanitas and Noé walking around Paris, but this time separately until they find each other. Most of the second half of the anime doesn't even take place in Paris.
• Bathos : Moments of drama and angst are frequently juxtaposed with slapstick, snarky banter or chibi antics.
• The Beautiful Elite : As typical of a Jun Mochizuki work, a lot of the characters in Vanitas are gorgeous beyond compare.
• Bookcase Passage : In Mémoire 6, Dominique and Noé go to a shop where they go through a hidden passage behind a bookcase that leads them to Altus Paris, the Pocket Dimension of Paris where vampires live.
• Breather Episode : Episode 7, which adapts Mémoire 12 from the manga, is a much-needed break from all the action and angst from the episodes so far. It focuses on the main characters just eating and dancing together at a restaurant to have a good time for once. As well as a good delivery of Ship Tease for all the potential couples, both the opposite-sex and same-sex ones.
• Bridal Carry : In Mémoire 53, Jeanne carries Dominique bridal-style after saving her from her own suicide attempt . Funny as Jeanne had fantasized about a similar scenario with Vanitas a few chapters back.
• Buddy Picture : Vanitas and Noé's relationship is consistently central in the story. The first chapter has Noé himself state that the plot is about his journey with Vanitas, which will end with the latter's death at his hands .
• Cast Full of Pretty Boys : Most of the male characters are either very handsome or incredibly pretty. An omake makes a joke about it by showing several of the guys working at a Host Club .
• In the first chapter, Vanitas falls off of a Cool Airship and Noé jumps right after him to catch his leg. Somehow, both survive the landing without a parachute.
• At the start of Mémoire 53, Jeanne saves a suicidal Dominique who had jumped off a Ferris wheel, catching her in the air before she hits the ground.
• Childhood Friend Romance : Noé's childhood friend Dominique has been in love with him since they were children, but the death of her brother Louis makes it hard for Dominique to progress her feelings for Noé. Meanwhile, Noé's exact feelings for Dominique are unknown aside from being very close with her and wanting to protect her to not lose another loved one after what happened to Louis.
• Children Do the Housework : Two orphaned human boys got adopted by the vampire known as Vanitas, later renamed Luna. To the concern of the boys, Luna sucked at cooking and cleaning. The older boy happened to be very good at both things, so Luna left those responsibilities to him.
• Church Militant : The church is the main human organization in charge of hunting and killing vampires. The Chasseurs are soldiers of the church who have been trained to fight vampires with weapons, aided by a Super Serum to match a vampire's strength.
• Noe is purple, representing his curiosity, nobility of spirit, and the mystery surrounding his past.
• Vanitas is dark blue, representing his confidence, melancholy and strong integrity.
• Dominique is red, symbolizing passion, aggression, and a desire for love.
• Jeanne is yellow and pink, symbolizing idealism, love, joy, and jealousy.
• Luca is green, symbolizing youth, jealousy, generosity and vigor.
• Compressed Adaptation : The anime's first half was fairly faithful to the manga, only cutting some minor scenes for faster pacing. However, the second half was significantly condensed in order to adapt the Gévaudan arc's three and a half manga volumes and the amusement park arc's two and a half manga volumes into a 12-Episode Anime . As a result, it eliminated a chunk of Chloé's backstory as well as the scenes related to the vampire senate and the extremist faction of the church that set up future arcs.
• Cool Airship : Noé and Vanitas first meet at La Baleine, a giant airship designed to look like a flying Gothic palace.
• Corrupt Church : The Catholic Church carried out a big massacre in Gévaudan, killing hundreds of women and children, under the delusion of exterminating vampires hiding among humans. They then used the "Beast" and curse-bearers as a cover story.
• In the belltower scene of Mémoire 11/Episode 6. Noé chooses to join Vanitas' journey by his own will and he makes a vow to stay together with Vanitas to the end as the sun rises to symbolize the start of their companionship. Sadly, Noé's narration from the future immediately reminds the audience that his relationship with Vanitas will end in tragedy.
• In Mémoire 55/Episode 24. In the aftermath of their big fight at the amusement park, Vanitas and Noé reconcile and reaffirm their bond to each other. The arc ends with Vanitas looking out at the sun rising through the clouds as he takes Noé's hand and goes to eat breakfast with him.
• Dance of Romance : Mémoire 12/Episode 7 has one big Ship Tease moment for those who are into the potential same-sex couples as NoéxVanitas and DominiquexJeanne dance a waltz while surrounded by Love Bubbles and Bishie Sparkle . Dominique takes Jeanne to dance with her (to tease Noé as she thinks he likes Jeanne) and both enjoy it so much that they immediately become good friends. While the girls dance, Noé asks Vanitas to dance with him, using that he wants to teach him as an excuse. Noé takes the chance to ask Vanitas what love is, but both are just left wondering as neither know the answer.
• Dark and Troubled Past : Noé who is the last remaining survivor of his clan and was a slave on the black market before Dominique's family bought him; Vanitas whose parents were murdered by vampires and became an experimental subject.
• Date Peepers : Domi spies on the date she set up between Jeanne and Vanitas, disguised as a man . Dante ends up stumbling across her and then tagging along for the rest of the date.
• Daywalking Vampire : None of the vampires in the setting have any problem with sunlight.
• Dysfunction Junction : As it's to be expected from a manga made by Jun Mochizuki, almost all the characters have a terribly traumatic backstory, are mentally unstable, or both.
• Everyone Is Bi : Although none of the main characters' sexualities have been explicitly confirmed, everyone in the main cast gets Ship Tease with people of both genders. Vanitas enjoys making unwanted sexual advances at Jeanne and lets her drink his blood several times. Meanwhile, Vanitas is all but stated to feel curious about how would it feel like to let Noé bite him and drink his blood too (even thinking about Noé biting Dominique when pressing Jeanne into doing it with him). Noé repeatedly drinks blood from Dominique and likes it, but he also drools at the mere thought of having a taste of Vanitas's blood. Dominique has an obvious crush on Noé since childhood, not that it stops her from flirting with women for fun and later forming a very affectionate friendship with Jeanne who often blushes at Dominique.
• Fantasy Metals : In this world, almost all machines are powered by Astermite, a mineral with miraculous properties that doesn't produce smoke that pollutes the air and has made it possible to build giant airships.
• Ferris Wheel of Doom : In the amusement park arc, because of Mikhail's Book of Vanitas going out of control, a Ferris wheel collapses and almost crushes Vanitas and Noé. They're saved by Dominique who creates an ice barrier to protect them.
• First-Episode Twist : The start of the first chapter/episode introduces Noé, a young man traveling to Paris in order to search for a legendary grimoire named the Book of Vanitas. While boarding an airship, Noé meets a sickly woman who is seemingly attacked by a suspicious man. Noé reveals himself to be a vampire and fights the man to protect the woman only for the woman to bite Noé as she's actually a curse-bearer, a vampire who went mad after having their true name stolen. Vanitas, the man who Noé fought, then reveals he's the possessor of the Book of Vanitas and uses its power to restore the curse-bearer's sanity.
• Flames of Love : In Mémoire 27, Vanitas and Jeanne take shelter from the snow at an abandoned cabin. After Jeanne orders to undress themselves to warm their bodies up together, they cuddle in front of a fireplace. The icing on the cake is Jeanne giving water to Vanitas mouth-to-mouth as the flames burn behind them.
• Flowers of Romance : In Mémoire 42, Jeanne has a passionate moment with Vanitas in a field of astérisque flowers, where she pins him down to drink his blood and kiss him on the cheek.
• Foregone Conclusion : The first manga chapter and anime episode close on some narration from a future version of Noé, who muses on the journey he went on alongside the titular Vanitas and reveals how the story will end: with Vanitas dying by his hand .
• If you look carefully, Vanitas never touches his book barehanded... or anyone for the matter. The one time he touches a vampire with his bare hand, her strength vanishes and she becomes unable to even stand.
• One of the covers shows the arms of Vanitas and Noé wrapped by chains... At the same emplacement as Vanita's scars. The Book of Vanitas has a silver chain, and he never touches it bare-handed. Do the math.
• In the first chapter/episode, as Noé narrates the fairy tale of the Vampire of the Blue Moon, the audience can see the Book of Vanitas... and the silhouette of another book behind it. There are, in fact, two books. When Vanitas' younger brother Misha introduces himself to Noé, he reveals he also has his own Book of Vanitas.
• Formulaic Magic : The World Formula, a mathematical equation originally written by Paracelsus in the 16th Century, is reality, and any changes to the formula also changes reality. It's believed that vampires resulted from the formula for humans being changed, and Astermite resulted from the formula for coal being changed. Vampires are able to see the World Formula and change it on the fly, giving them magical powers like Playing with Fire and so on. In turn, Chasseurs have developed technology to blind a vampire's ability to see the Formula, thus disorientating and weakening them.
• French Accordion : The setting is France (mostly in Paris) and fittingly, Yuki Kajiura used a lot of accordion for the anime's soundtrack.
• Gaslamp Fantasy : Though it has very strong Steampunk influences, the series's inclusion of magic, the supernatural, and many Gothic Horror tropes sets it as one of these as well.
• Gothic Horror : Like PandoraHearts , Vanitas has big elements of the gothic genre such as vampires, the late 19th century European setting, old castles, symbolism, and physical as well as psychological torture.
• Gratuitous French : The series is Japanese, but the characters occasionally speak French words to remind the audience that the work's setting is France. For example, the word vampire is spelled in French, the Vampire Hunters are called Chasseur, and vampire executioners are called Bourreau. The first scene of the first anime episode has news titles in correct, understandable French, but if you squint, you can read the text below... Which is some text about an archeological finding made in 1901, and rediscovered in 2021, obviously google-translated from the English.
• Great Offscreen War : Between the 16th and 17th centuries, humans and vampires were in a great war as both races tried to exterminate each other. By the time of the late 19th century in which the story takes place, humans and vampires have long stopped having anything to do with each other. Although, there's danger that another war might break out if Curse-Bearers continue attacking humans.
• Half-Breed Discrimination : Dhampirs are heavily discriminated against by humans and vampires. Their hybrid heritage causes them to be abandoned by their parents and hunted by vampires and/or the church, unless they're under the protection of a high-ranking vampire like Marquis Machina.
• Half-Identical Twins : Louis and Dominique de Sade are actually fraternal twins and they look very alike, especially after Dominique started dressing like a boy to cope with Louis' death.
• Hemo Erotic : Having one's blood drunk by a vampire is noted to be pleasurable for many, and in fact many Vampires will drink each other's blood as an act of affection between friends and loved ones, as demonstrated by Noé and Dominique. It's explained that this reaction is because there's a biologic response that anesthetizes the bitten individual through a substance that is apparently similar to... an aphrodisiac . However, the degree which this is pleasurable runs on a sliding scale, with some just becoming numb or drowsy, and not feeling any pleasure at all. The individuals involved also seem to matter, possibly on a biological level, as Vanitas comments that he feels particularly euphoric when being fed upon by Jeanne compared to other times he's been bitten. Also, apparently, drinking someone's blood without consent is considered a crime .
• High School AU : The omake of Volume 7 is about an AU where the characters are high school students and teachers. The premise is Vanitas infiltrating the academy while Disguised in Drag and gets found out by Jeanne who also is disguised as a man to be Luca's bodyguard. The omake later got an Audio Adaptation with a couple of Drama CD for the anime's Blu-ray release.
• I Know Your True Name : A vampire's true name is linked to their destiny and is as important as life itself.
• "Le Formidable!" for Vanitas and Noé, sung by Natsuki Hanae and Kaito Ishikawa .
• "Blooming in the Sun～mon trésor～" for Jeanne and Luca, sung by Inori Minase and Shino Shimoji .
• "Nameless Road" for Roland and Olivier, sung by Kengo Kawanishi and Tomoaki Maeno .
• "Snow Flower" for Chloé and Jean-Jacques, sung by Rie Kugimiya and Daiki Hamano .
• Louis begged his beloved friend Noé, to kill him when he was going out of control, fearing that he would kill Noé if he wasn't terminated. Noé's inability to fulfill Louis's last wish continues to haunt Noé to this day, and is in fact part of what drew him to Vanitas since Vanitas 's abilities represented a hope that Louis could have been saved.
• When Chloé was in despair over how miserable her existence was, outliving generation after generation of her human family and being hated by the townspeople she had been brought up to love, she desired to be killed by Jeanne who she loved like a little sister. Jeanne was actually directed to do so, but was unable to carry it out.
• Kiss of the Vampire : In basically all blood drinking scenes they are moaning and blushing and some of the scenes even look like they were doing something else .
• Layered World : One of the effects of the Babel Incident was the creation of secluded dimensions, named "Altus," that are connected to the original world, but are only accessible to vampires and humans who cross the border while touching a vampire. After the war, most vampires are living at Altus, although there's still some vampires who live at the original world along with humans.
• Legacy Character : The current Vanitas claims he's the inheritor of the original, though he's only an average human rather than a vampire.
• Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy : Jeanne and Vanitas are turned into this in the High School AU where both go to the academy Disguised in Drag . Jeanne also behaves like a flirt who calls Vanitas her food property because of all the shoujo manga Dominique made her read.
• Masquerade Ball : The second arc of the series has our heroes attend a Bal Masque full of vampire aristocrats.
• Mass Super-Empowering Event : The renowned alchemist Paracelsus built the Tower of Babel as part of an experiment to rewrite the World Formula, resulting in a disaster known as the Babel Incident. The formula that constituted coal was altered to become the blue mineral, Astermite, from which power could be produced without almost any environmental pollution, a flora formula was altered to create bioluminescent flowers, and most importantly, the human formula had been altered and given way to the existence of vampires.
• Matricide : In a disturbing example, Catherine, a young girl vampire attacks her mother after being affected by the curse. She then begs Vanitas to kill her before she hurts her sister. He obliges
• "Vanitas" can mean "vanity" (exhibited in the self-serving way he talks about saving the vampires) or "emptiness" (a possible allusion to Noé's statement at the end of chapter 1 that he would kill him with his own two hands). A vanitas is also a particular style of painting, a reminder of death and the frailty of life which demands that we cannot be obsessed with trivial things. This may also be a factor in the meaning of Vanitas' name.
• Noé's name. Vanitas calls him "Child of the Ark" and he is an Archivist, a clan of vampires believed to have died out. Noé is the French version of "Noah" from Noah's Ark, a famous Bible story where two (a male and a female) of every animal is brought upon a boat to survive extinction...
• A vampire's true name seems to be this in general.
• Mercy Kill Arrangement : Vanitas promises Jeanne to kill her if there ever comes a time that she's 'no longer herself'.
• Mind Virus : The malady afflicting vampires that Vanitas is aiming to eradicate. It takes possession of the victim's true name and endows them with an unquenchable thirst for blood.
• Mutual Pining : In the aftermath of the Gévaudan arc, Vanitas and Jeanne find themselves pining for each other, leading people around them to point out Vanitas has fallen for Jeanne and vice versa. Vanitas is highly uncomfortable with catching feelings for Jeanne because his self-loathing keeps him in denial about being deserving of love. Meanwhile, Jeanne is happy to be in love with Vanitas, but since he claims he doesn't feel attraction to someone who can love him, she plans to not let him know her true feelings.
• Mythology Gag : When Vanitas and Noe are initially caught by Roland, Vanitas introduces themselves as Vincent and Gilbert. These are the names of two brothers from the author's previous manga, PandoraHearts .
• Myth Prologue : The manga begins with Noe narrating the story of the Vampire of the Blue Moon and how they were exiled for being a bad omen while swearing revenge. It later turns out that this story isn't as accurate as other vampires believed as it turns out that the Vampire of the Blue Moon was actually a nice guy with no interest in revenge.
• Not the Fall That Kills You… : In the first chapter/episode, Noé and Vanitas fall off of a Cool Airship . Not only do they survive the fall and landing (without a parachute!), they come out unharmed even though they crashed against a cathedral and made a hole in the ceiling.
• Off with His Head! : Decapitation is the only certain way to kill vampires. Louis, who was Dominique's older brother and one of Noé's first friends, was decapitated by his grandfather in order to protect Noé when Louis became a Cursebearer.
• Oh, and X Dies : The first chapter ends with Noé's narration stating that he will kill Vanitas at the end of their journey.
• One Cast Member per Cover : There's a different character on each volume cover, with the occasional exception of pairs (Vanitas and Noé in every cover featuring them since Volume 3, Chloé and Jean-Jacques in Volume 7). Only the two protagonists, Vanitas and Noé, have more than one cover.
• One Twin Must Die : Twins are a symbol of bad luck to vampires, which is why some families kill one of the twins at birth. This was supposed to be Dominique's twin brother Louis' fate as giving birth to twins would have been a disgrace to the noble house of de Sade. Louis was only spared because his grandfather wanted to use him for some sort of experiment involving his transformation into a Curse-Bearer, so he could live up to his teens.
• Our Vampires Are Different : Vampires are closer to a Mage Species that drinks blood to gain strength. Because of their direct connection to the World Formula, they have abilities similar to magic that allow them to increase their physical strength and stamina, and in the case of more powerful vampires, use Elemental Powers and such. They apparently won't die unless directly killed via decapitation and their bodies instantly turn to dust after losing their head. Drinking blood is not a necessity for them and they can easily suppress their blood cravings unless they become Curse-Bearers, vampires who went insane after their true name was corrupted.
• Over-the-Shoulder Carry : Jeanne carries Vanitas over her shoulder when she needs to take him away for a private conversation about her blood cravings.
• Pink Girl, Blue Boy : There's the pink-haired Jeanne often paired with Vanitas who is blue-eyed and dresses in blue clothes.
• P.O.V. Boy, Poster Girl : A male-male variation; Vanitas is the titular character and poster boy while Noé is the viewpoint character.
• The Power of Friendship : A recurring theme is Vanitas and Noé growing stronger together and overcoming obstacles by learning to trust and help each other as friends. A notable example is Noé managing to stop a hypnotized Vanitas' attempt to murder him by swearing he will never let him be "free" (i.e. alone) .
• Real Event, Fictional Cause : Between 1764 and 1767, there was an incident of serial murders in the former French province of Gévaudan that were attributed to a man-eating wolf-like animal that was called The Beast of Gévaudan. In this manga, the murders were supposedly committed by a Curse-Bearing vampire. In reality, that was just a cover. The real cause of the murders was an illegal vampire hunt of the church that indiscriminately killed everyone in Gévaudan that could be, become, or give birth to a vampire.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning : Vampires' eyes turn red when they display their superhuman powers that allow them to rewrite the World Formula. They also turn red when they're feeling strong emotions or are thirsty for blood.
• Reluctant Psycho : Many curse bearers are unwillingly turned into feral animals due to having their true names tampered with. Only a handful trade their names willingly for power. Even then, eventually their curse will leave their control and devolve into violent rage. Even fully in control, Chloé had difficulty resisting Noé's blood.
• Revenge : Vanitas' whole motive for saving the vampires; not to help them out of genuine good will but as revenge against the Vampire of the Blue Moon.
• Roundabout Shot : The anime opening sequence has one of these with Noé grabbing Vanitas by the hands and spinning him around in the air until they fall into a fountain.
• Rule of Symbolism : In an art illustration Jun Mochizuki did for Vanitas shows him falling, blue butterflies all around him. The only butterflies that are not blue are the purple ones on his arm where the mark of possession by the original Vanitas of the Blue Moon gave him.
• Scars Are Forever : Vanitas' left arm is scarred since he was bitten by the Vampire of the Blue Moon (or claims that he was).
• Scenery Porn : As expected from Jun Mochizuki's work. Just look at Chapter 1's scenery of Paris as Noé and Vanitas fall out of the airship. It's breathtaking.
• Ship Tease : The series has teasing moments for all the potential couples of the main cast, mainly VanitasxNoé (unusual partnership with lots of Homoerotic Subtext and Noé's strong interest for drinking Vanitas' blood), VanitasxJeanne ( Forceful Kiss from Vanitas, very sexually-charged blood drinking scenes, and a persistent Unresolved Sexual Tension ), NoéxDominique (childhood friends who like drinking blood from each other and are very protective of each other), and DominiquexJeanne ( Pseudo-Romantic Friendship where both girls admit to love each other).
• Spell Book : The Book of Vanitas has the power to interfere with the World Formula and restore the names of vampires that had them stolen.
• Steampunk : The series takes place in a steam-powered Paris as opposed to the Gaslamp Fantasy of PandoraHearts , though Vanitas also qualifies as that as well.
• Take Away Their Name : Naenia strips vampires from their true names, which causes them to become curse-bearers. The only known way to cure them is using the Book of Vanitas to bring their true name back.
• Technically Living Vampire : Vampires are an advanced Human Subspecies that came into existence because of a disaster known as the Babel Incident. Some humans gained the supernatural ability to use their eyes to rewrite the World Formula. Vampires drink blood if they want to (although the urge is easy to suppress) and are Long-Lived , but they're just like humans in every other aspect.
• Unresolved Sexual Tension : After a very weird and rough start, Vanitas and Jeanne have developed a very strong mutual attraction since the Gévaudan arc, with Vanitas having become increasingly flustered around her with their interactions.
• Void Between the Worlds : Between the human world and the vampire world, there's a void known as the "Border" that only vampires are able to cross. It's said that if a human were to step into the Border without touching a vampire, they would fall into nothingness and be lost between worlds forever.
• Wall Pin of Love : Vanitas has Jeanne cornered after tricking Noé into taking Jeanne's master Luca as a hostage. As Jeanne begs for Luca's life, Vanitas pins her against the wall, does something to her that makes her lose her power, and forces a kiss on her before asking her to marry him as he has fallen "in love" with her.
• Watching the Sunset : A variation happens in the belltower scene at the end of Mémoire 11/Episode 6. Noé makes the declaration that he wants to understand Vanitas and has decided to stay by his side. Vanitas concedes and the two men watch the sunrise, a symbol of the true start of their partnership.
• Witch Hunt : After the Babel Incident caused some humans to be transformed into vampires, they became hunted by regular humans who viewed them as unholy monsters. The original Beast of Gévaudan incident happened because paranoid members of the church were hunting hidden vampires in Gévaudan and killed any women and children they came across.
• The X of Y : The title is "The Case Study of Vanitas".

Video Example(s):

Vanitas and Jeanne

When Vanitas finds out that Jeanne apparently gets random cravings for blood, but can't figure out if she's a curse-bearer or not, he decides to entice her to drink his blood. It works, and he winds up enjoying it to the point where, in a later episode, he offers to give Jeanne exclusive bloodsucking rights to him in exchange for keeping the fact that she bit him a secret from her master Luca.

The Case Study Of Vanitas - What We Know So Far

Avid manga readers have probably picked up, or at least heard of, "The Case Study of Vanitas." Set in 19th century Paris, the story's use of steampunk has produced gorgeous and unique art that puts one in mind of the ever-popular "Black Butler." However, the aesthetic isn't the only thing that makes this story interesting. Created by Jun Mochizuki ("Pandora Heart"), "Case Study" follows Noé Archiviste as he aids Vanitas on his journey to help vampires from giving into their predatory nature. It is not an easy task though, as danger lurks in every corner and a force called the Charlatan tries to corrupt the vampires before they can be saved. The series has appeared in Square Enix's "Monthly Gangan Joker" since 2015, and has since produced 8 volumes. 

Fans of "Case Study" will be pleased to know that Vanitas and Noé will be animated. The anime will be adapted by Bones Inc. Studio, which is known for producing popular series such as " Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood ," "Ouran High School Host Club" and, most recently, "My Hero Academia." Here is everything we know about "The Case Study of Vanitas." 

When will The Case Study of Vanitas be released?

According to Anime News Network , Aniplex revealed back in March that the anime adaptation of "The Case Study of Vanitas" was on its way. It was later announced that the series would premiere on July 2nd and will air across multiple TV networks (via  Crunchyroll ). In addition to Bones Inc., Tomoyuki Itamura of "Owarimonogatari" will be directing, while Deko Akao of "Snow White with the Red Hair" and Yoshiyuki Ito of "Carole & Tuesday" will be serving as the script overseer and the character designer, respectively.

The anime's official Twitter also recently attached a trailer , which features Vanita's book of healing, fights with vicious vampires , and of course, the stunning 19th century Paris in which all the action takes place. Fan reaction to the over minute-long teaser was overwhelming, with many merely responding with heart-eyes emojis and gifs to accurately express their excitement. 

With only a couple of weeks to go, viewers won't have to wait long to return to Vanita's world or venture into it for the very first time. 

What characters will be in the "The Case Study of Vanitas?"

"The Case Study of Vanitas" features a wide variety of characters, who add more to both the plot and various relationships. If the anime will cover the first 40 or so chapters, fans can expect many of these people to make an appearance. 

Vanitas is the current holder of the Book of Vanitas, and thanks to its powers, he can do amazing things, though he claims to be a normal human. Despite his seemingly carefree personality, Vanitas' childhood — his parents were murdered by a vampire and his guardian subjected him to painful tests — has shaped who he is and what he does. During his travels, he meets Noé Archiviste, a man seeking the Book under the orders of his teacher. Noé is very caring, and because of this, he travels with Vanitas, finding his mission to save vampires rather than kill them to be an honorable deed. 

On Noé's and Vanitas' journeys, they come across other friends and enemies. These include Jeanne, an enslaved vampire ordered to kill her own kind; Luca, a young vampire and son of the Grand Duke; Dominique, Noé's childhood friend who harbors unrequited feelings for him, and the Teacher, a cruel, mysterious, and ancient vampire that exploits his students. 

The series is also likely to expand on supporting characters responsible for leading the main cast into even more perilous situations. 

What will be the plot of "The Case Study of Vanitas?"

Noé Archiviste hopes to find the legendary Book of Vanitas, a relic with extraordinary powers. Aboard a 19th century blimp, he meets Vanitas, the newest inheritor of the ancient text. Together, they search for sick vampires and use the power of the book to heal them. 

Most animes' first seasons usually follow up to the manga's  sixth or seventh volume, so we can expect this series to do the same. Within those approximately 40 chapters, the adaptation will depict Noé's first meeting with Vanitas, how Vanitas utilizes the book to get the job done, the introductions of Luca, Jeanne, and Dominique, Noé's relationship with the mysterious Teacher, and the risks of dealing with bloodsuckers and the Charlatan that threatens to undo Vanitas' work and continue to corrupt any vampires. 

Though there are more than seven volumes currently published, fans will have to wait for the "Case Study of Vanitas" to get renewed if they want to see the next adventure animated.

The Case Study of Vanitas

The Case Study of Vanitas is a manga and anime series. 2 Characters 3.3 Femslash 3.5 Friendship 6 Navigation Centuries prior to the French Revolution, a scientist named Paracelsus created the "World Formula" theory, a theory which posited that the world was governed by mathematical formulas whose variables could be identified and altered. In an event known as Babel, he attempted to change these variables to eliminate disasters such as disease. Instead, he caused numerous calamities and brought about the existence of entities called "vampires." Deemed abominations before God, a race war ensued. Though humans failed to entirely wipe out vampires, their existences were hidden, causing vampires to be declared extralegal entities who could be executed for revealing themselves. Noé Archiviste, a young vampire living in late 19th century France, is sent by his Teacher to Paris to find the Book of Vanitas and discover its true nature. Supposedly, the Book of Vanitas is a cursed grimoire created by the Vampire of the Blue Moon from which the incurable disease Malnomen originates. Noé finds the Book on his way to Paris when a man calling himself Vanitas cures a case of Malnomen before his eyes. Vanitas claims to be a completely normal human man who simply happens to have inherited the Book, and claims it is his intention to save the vampire race by any means possible. The story is Noé's memoirs on how he would eventually kill Vanitas. Characters [ ] Femslash [ ], friendship [ ].

Vanitas behaves in an incredibly contrary way around Noé—begging the vampire to team up with him one minute and telling him to leave the next. The two have had plenty of arguments, as Vanitas is extremely protective of Noé but hates it when Noé tries to protect him (despite asking Noé to be his shield in the first place); but despite this Vanitas seems to genuinely care about Noé in a roundabout way. He won’t admit that he likes Noé, but Vanitas seems to enjoy his company and trusts him. Vanitas and Noé are often in tune with each other’s emotions— this is usually more evident on Noé’s side of things but Vanitas is often able to calm Noé down when the latter is angry or upset, and is frequently seen saving Noé from visions of the past and from Naenia. Such understanding is clear during their fight in the amusement park, when Noé takes notice of how lonely Vanitas truly is, and how he believes loneliness means freedom. Despite the frantic situation they were pulled into, Noé is able to regain his senses and realizes that Vanitas was acting mostly out of fear instead of anger, and greatly blames himself for trying to force the human into giving him his blood. Their bond is so strong that he manages to snap Vanitas out of his hypnotic trance, reminding him that is not just any vampire, but his friend. Noé then vows to never set Vanitas "free", meaning that he will never leave Vanitas alone. Vanitas of the Blue Moon [ ] At a surface level, Vanitas seems to despise Luna— he repeatedly states that he wants revenge on Vanitas of the Blue Moon and during many of his initial flashbacks he seems to despise the vampire. However, Vanitas and Luna seem to have been closer than Vanitas might want others to think. While feverish, Vanitas says “I didn’t really hate you, Lu...”, which seems to be a reference to Luna. He lets Luna hug him and Luna often comes to mind when Vanitas is curing malnomen. Luna was a parental figure in Vanitas’s life, as they were in Misha’s. Dante works for Vanitas on a contractual basis and also acts as his primary information broker, obtaining rare information and charging exorbitant prices for it. He refuses to do work for Vanitas that does not involve payment. The two are frequently seen yelling insults at each other, communicating in a disrespectful manner, and each refer to the other with an insulting nickname; Dante refers to Vanitas as a "Quack," often used as a term toward physicians accused of fraudulent and ignorant practice of medical skill, while Vanitas calls Dante "Baldy" as a curse to force his hair to thin faster. [1] The two bicker semi constantly, but do genuinely care for each other as more than business partners. Dante is easily able to see through Vanitas’s flippant attitude. Vanitas was the first human to ever accept Dante and see him as equal to humans and vampires (even if it was because he just hates everyone equally) and Dante, as many times as he states that Dhams only care about other Dhams, will never forget that. Despite that, Vanitas sometimes seems to undervalue how much Dante values him, and often goes as far as threatening Dante’s life to get what he wants. Despite all of this they seem to be good friends, eating dinner together at a cafe. Dante knows a solid amount about Vanitas’s current life, and jokes about Vanitas and Noé being in a romantic relationship a few times. [2] [3] Vanitas initially seemed to be toying with Jeanne during their interactions, messing with her emotions and being intentionally abrasive to get a reaction. However, as time goes on Vanitas seems to display a more gentle side of himself around Jeanne. During their night in Gévaudan, Vanitas tries to push Jeanne away by flirting with her, expecting her usual negative reaction. When Jeanne isn’t put off by this, Vanitas seems to get more and more upset as the night wears on. Vanitas began his relationship with Jeanne almost entirely due to her amusing reactions to him, and he becomes very upset when she starts to break this trend. During their time in Gévaudan, Vanitas starts to genuinely fall in love with Jeanne when she displays a genuine cheerfulness and strength that he hadn’t seen in her before. He is exceptionally upset by his growing attraction, and truly believes that Jeanne could never fall for a person like him. Amelia Ruth [ ] After being cured of her malnomen, Amelia and Vanitas have been on friendly terms. She is very grateful for his help, and even offered a token of gratitude in return for curing her, although he declined it. [4] She cares about him and respects his boundaries, although she does enjoy teasing him a little bit about his softer side. Amelia seems to understand Vanitas' personality well enough, reading past his grumpiness and recognizing his own special way of apologizing. She also shows concern for Vanitas' friendship with Noé, keeping track of their fights and reconciliations. Parks Orlok [ ] Orlok doesn't like or trust Vanitas, choosing to keep him under surveillance for the time being. Roland Fortis [ ] Roland and Vanitas have a love/hate relationship— love from Roland, hate from Vanitas. Vanitas is disturbed by Roland’s self- righteous pity towards him, and tells Noé that he dislikes people like that within moments of first meeting Roland. Vanitas treats Roland like a necessary (if annoying) ally, and is frequently seen trying to escape from Roland’s hugs and hide from the Chasseur. Vanitas does seem to trust Roland when the latter gets serious, and even speaks to Roland and Olivier about Jeanne. Doctor Moreau [ ] While a young Vanitas was training to become a Chasseur, he was kidnapped and given him the name “No. 69”. During his time as Moreau’s test subject Vanitas saw many vampires come in and get torturously experimented on by Moreau and his fellow researchers. Vanitas never escaped because he feared Moreau would kidnap another child and experiment on them in his place. Moreau decided to inject Vanitas and Mikhail with the blood of the Vampire of the Blue Moon in an attempt to make the boys into pseudo-kin of the blue moon and open the Books of Vanitas, leaving both boys traumatized for life. When they meet again in the Catacombes years later, Vanitas puts on a fake smile and pretends to be delighted in seeing him again, claiming to be Moreau's supporter in order to get information out of him. Despite the torture he inflicted on Vanitas in the past, Moreau claims that Vanitas was an excellent test subject, complimenting him and even going as far as crying after the boy was taken away years ago. He also seems to somewhat coddle Vanitas when the latter apologizes, hugging him and saying he's not the least bit angry. In spite of his misleadingly affectionate gestures, Moreau only cares about Vanitas' use as a test subject — only praising him for being a cooperative guinea pig — not caring if he was suffering or in pain, going as far as asking for one of Vanitas' eyeballs for research. All things considered, Moreau has always been more than willing to risk Vanitas' health and life to reach his goals. For Vanitas, Moreau is someone he only needed to gather information on Vampire disappearances at the time, and he had planned to kill the doctor as soon as he was done. Mikhail [ ] Mikhail and Vanitas were both Doctor Moreau’s test subjects as children. When Misha first arrived at the lab, Vanitas was told to watch over the boy by Moreau. Vanitas and Mikhail quickly became close, with Misha calling Vanitas his “big brother” and sharing a bed with him in their cell. Upon hearing that Mikhail would be part of a deadly experiment in the lab, Vanitas told Moreau that he would willingly participate in the experiment instead of Misha. Vanitas collapsed and fell ill right after escaping the lab with Misha and Luna, which Luna suggested was due to him finally relaxing after spending so much time on edge trying to protect Mikhail. At some point during their time with Luna, Misha and Vanitas promised to stay together forever. After Luna’s death, Vanitas, believing Mikhail was dead as well, left and began his quest for “revenge”. Vanitas frequently has visions of Misha admonishing him, telling him that he broke their promise and he caused Luna and Misha’s deaths. Vanitas is shocked to learn that Mikhail is alive and has kidnapped Dominique to seek out Noé. He refuses to call Mikhail by his nickname and is furious to learn that Misha has been trying to bring Luna back to life. Manet and Nox [ ] Both siblings seem to dislike Vanitas, most likely since the latter is both a human and quite disrespectful during their encounters. However, Vanitas seems mostly neutral towards them.
