Animated by Studio Gaina, Baban Baban Ban Vampire follows Ranmaru Mori, a centuries-old vampire who works at an old public bathhouse, ‘Koi no Yu,’ as a live-in employee. He does this to repay the owner’s son, Rihito Tatsuno, who once saved his life.

While waiting for Rihito to turn 18, Ranmaru plans to drink his virgin blood—a vampire’s delicacy. However, Rihito falls in love with a classmate, threatening Ranmaru’s goal. This comedic love story blends vampire folklore with quirky humor.
