10	In a world where vampires and humans coexist, [[HotBlooded Aldred van Enviro]], an energetic young vampire, attends the [[AllGhoulsSchool Millennium School]] as the [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits sixth class squad leader]]. Al has so far been unable to manifest a Family Weapon, but otherwise his life is pretty normal... until a [[MysteriousTransferStudent new student]] joins their group: the enigmatic and apparently human Kei Yosugata. Shortly after, fighting breaks out at the school, and Aldred finds himself in command of a very unusual weapon.

14	!!This manga provides examples of:
15
16	* AllGhoulsSchool: The Millennium School for vampires.
17	* AmbiguouslyBrown: Kodachi, who a villain describes as "over-tanned."
18	* BattleCouple: Kei and Al, although [[spoiler: they never get around to becoming a couple]].
19	** Well, [[spoiler: unless that actually was Aldred that Kei tries running towards in the end, but even if so it's debatable how Al turned out after the TimeSkip.]]
20	%%* BittersweetEnding: Not quite the way you might expect, though.
21	%%* ButNowIMustGo
22	* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: "It hurt the first time you did it. Can you be more gentle this time?" Bonus points for Al catching onto this and telling Kei not to phrase it like that.
23	* EvilCounterpart: Al and Kei vs. Septi and Sixth. [[spoiler: Sixth, like Kei, transforms into a weapon for his partner.]]
24	* ExactlyExtyYearsAgo: The night with a double moon comes every thousand years.
25	%%* EquippableAlly: [[spoiler: Kei.]]
26	* FourEyesZeroSoul: Rabbi, who goes from TheBully to [[spoiler:viciously murdering and consuming his fellow students]].
27	%%* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: The TokenMiniMoe does!
28	* HumanSubspecies: Vampires. [[spoiler: Except they're actually more like DemonicInvaders.]]
29	* ImprovisedWeapon: Al's introduction. NAILBAT!
30	* KillerRobot: Kagamimochi 26 stopped listening to Rengokuin when it "reached adolescence."
31	* LivingWeapon: [[spoiler: Kei is the sheath of a vampire-killing lance.]]
32	* LockedIntoStrangeness: [[spoiler:As a child, Kei was dark haired. After becoming a LivingWeapon, his hair turns white]]
33	* MoodWhiplash: Surprisingly frequent for such a short series.
34	* NearRapeExperience: When Al [[spoiler: loses control and almost bites Kodachi]], it plays out a lot like an attempted rape. She even threatens to cut off his "special thing" should he attempt it again!
35	* OurVampiresAreDifferent: For one thing, they possess "Family Weapons." Except Al.
36	* PaperFanOfDoom: Kodachi's family weapon is a fan.
37	* PowerDegeneration: [[spoiler: Kei's body breaks down whenever he transforms. Changing just three times left him permanently bound to a wheelchair, and it was said doing it any more would have destroyed his human body completely and left him a lance forever, which is why Al chose to forsake that weapon and go back to his nail bat; it wasn't worth killing his friend.]]
38	* RedEyesTakeWarning: Aldred, and it isn't a trait of all vampires.
39	* RuleOfThree: Kei [[spoiler:transforms into the Holy Lance ]]three times.
40	%%* SealedEvilInACan: [[spoiler: The seal.]]
41	%%* StoicWoobie: Kei
42	* StrappedToAnOperatingTable: PlayedForLaughs when [[MadScientist Rengokuin]] kidnaps Kei, then immediately [[MoodWhiplash played for horror]] during Kei's flashback.
43	--> "Even if I scream and beg the results are the same."
44	* UnorthodoxSheathing: Unorthodox is an... understatement. [[spoiler: Al drinks Kei's blood, which turns him into a magical lance. Kei is described as both the lance itself and the lance's ''sheath''.]]
