About Vampire Dormitory 

Mito Yamamoto is a very handsome man, and many women visit the restaurant where he works every day. But when the restaurant owner gets tired of the distractions, he fires Mito, leaving him with no job and nowhere to live.

One day, Mito goes to a café and cuts his hand on some broken glass. A strange man named Ruka Saotome offers to help, but instead of bandaging the wound, he licks Mito’s blood and says it tastes awful. He tells Mito to leave.

Later that night, Mito accidentally falls off a building, but Ruka catches him. Ruka then reveals he’s a vampire. Ruka says he can’t drink from girls and has been searching for a handsome boy like Mito to be his companion.

He asks Mito to let him “ripen” his blood with his affections. Mito agrees and moves into the Hijirigaoka Boys’ Academy dormitory with Ruka. But there’s a problem, Mito is actually a girl.
