It's time for me to take a look at a once-beloved shojo horror franchise, long forgotten but not unloved.
NEW VAMPIRE MIYU (Shin Kyuketsu Hime Miyu), written by Toshihiro Hirano with art by Narumi Kakinouchi. First published in 1992 and first published in North America in 1999.
PLOT:
Wherever corrupt human souls exist, you can find the demonic creatures known as shinma. The only defense against them is the half-human vampire Miyu and her companion Larva. By day she poses as an ordinary high school girl, but at night the two of them hunt down and exorcise these malevolent spirits. Her greatest challenge is before her, as an invasion of western shinma led by the masked sorceress Carlua are coming her way. Carlua wants two things: to possess Larva for her own and to destroy Miyu by any means possible.
