Story

Setting

The series takes place in a world where vampires are very real. There are inferior vampires, which are basically animals, and vampire lords, who have human-like physiques and intelligence. All vampire lords have basic vampire abilities and weaknesses, but some of them have special abilities that set them apart from the rest of their kind. They can also find regular animals to make into their immortal familiars.

Some vampires choose to live in peace with humans while others choose to be menaces instead. Thus, some humans take up the role as vampire hunters to keep the hostile vampires in check.

Plot

The story follows the famed vampire hunter, Ronaldo, who receives a job to destroy the supposedly invincible vampire lord Draluc and rescue a human boy he allegedly kidnapped. Upon meeting him in his mansion, however, he quickly realizes that he is only called "invincible" because of his unique ability to revive almost instantly after being reduced to ashes, which is convenient since almost anything can kill him due to him being incredibly weak. The boy who was believed to be a hostage just sneaks into the castle regularly to play Draluc's huge collection of video games. Chaos ensues and Draluc's castle ends up completely destroyed as a result.

Homeless, Draluc then moves into Ronaldo's apartment for the time being, much to Ronaldo's chagrin. He also brings along his familiar, a cute armadillo named John, who Ronaldo becomes fond of. After helping Ronaldo in a case, the two become unofficial partners, often clashing with other vampires and hunters alike.

Ronaldo (ロナルド, Ronarudo)

Voiced by: Makoto Furukawa (Japanese); Ian Sinclair (English)

A vampire hunter in his 20s with a base of operations in Shin-Yokohama. Originally not thrilled to have Draluc as a roommate, the success of the partnership in his novel series, The Ronaldo Chronicles, leads him to reluctantly put up with the vampire. He frequently kills Draluc when annoyed. He also has an extreme phobia of celery. In a character interview, he mentions 'Ronaldo' is a nickname he gained in high school.
