What is Call of the Night about?

Ko Yamori, plagued with insomnia, starts taking long walks at night to pass the time. During one of these walks, he meets an attractive female vampire named Nazuna Nanakusa.

She shows a disenfranchised Ko the joys of vampire life and as a result, Ko decides that he also wants to live the life of a night walker.

As Nazuna Ko learns the ins and outs of becoming a vampire, a relationship between the two begins to blossom. However, after the arrival of a cute friend from the past, Ko must choose between the land of the living and the dead.
