Synopsis:
“There are no vampires in Japan. That is the position of the Emperor. The Emperor is wrong…”
Japan, 1899. A party of vampires – exiled from Britain by Prince Dracula – seeks refuge in Tokyo and is confined to Yokai Town, a ghetto where the Meiji Emperor keeps the country’s vampires, bizarre creatures as different from European nosferatu as they are from living humans.
Dr. Geneviève Dieudonné; Kostaki, a soldier; Daniel Dravot, a spy; and Christina Light, a revolutionary princess, try to survive in Yokai Town as forces within and outside its walls threaten to destroy the newcomers and the long-time residents. What secret lies under the Temple of One Thousand Monsters?
