    Synopsis:

    Set against the backdrop of 19th-century Paris, this series explores themes of identity and inherited legacies. Noé Archiviste's pursuit of the legendary Book of Vanitas intersects with a peculiar individual claiming to be Vanitas himself. This enigmatic doctor possesses the very grimoire Noé seeks, yet is revealed to be a human burdened by the name and book of a notorious vampire.

    The narrative unfolds amidst strange occurrences linked to vampires, highlighting a unique method of restoring order through the recovery of lost identities. The story blends elements of historical fantasy with a focus on character-driven mystery, examining the weight of reputation and the potential for redemption even within a lineage steeped in darkness. The series presents a thoughtful examination of power, prejudice, and the complexities of self-discovery.
