Adapted from the light novels by Kotei Kobayashi and Riichu, “The Vexations of a Shut-In Vampire Princess” was helmed by director Tatsuma Minamikawa (known for “Fire Force Season 2”) at studio Project No.9. The series composition was handled by Keiichiro Ochi (credited for “The Demon Girl Next Door”), with character designs by Tomoyuki Shitaya (renowned for “Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma”) and music composed by Go Shiina (famous for “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba”).
Yen Press publishes the official English version of the light novels, providing the following synopsis:
“Three years into her life as a shut-in, vampire Terakomari Gandesblood, known as Komari, wakes up to discover she’s been assigned as a Commander in the Mulnite Imperial Army! The catch? Her new unit is comprised entirely of rebellious troublemakers who challenge their superiors at the slightest provocation. Despite Komari hailing from a prestigious line of powerful vampires, her refusal to drink blood has rendered her mediocre—frail, uncoordinated, and lacking in magical prowess. With the odds stacked against her, will the support of her devoted (and slightly enamored) maid, Vill, be enough for this recluse to stumble her way to success? Or will Komari regret ever venturing beyond the safety of her room?”
