Nazuna Nanakusa



Nazuna Nanakusa is the lead heroine of Kotoyama's manga Yofukashi no Uta. She is a scantily clad vampire who vaguely resembles that bloodsucking yandere bitch from My Hero Academia at first, but unlike that girl, Nazuna is actually a laidback and outgoing person who loves introducing people to the wonders of nighttime like silence, freedom, and booze. She is also sexually forward and likes to tease people, but is easily flustered at anything related to romance.

Nazuna is the main love interest of the teenage MC Kou Yamori; she takes interest in him because she finds his blood delicious, especially right as he begins to sleep. According to Nazuna, vampires can only convert a human into their own kind if that someone falls in love with them — which is exactly what Yamori wants to do, since he loves the night and wants to become a vampire like her.

If Marin Kitagawa can renew public interest to the glorious appeal of anime gyarus, then Nazuna can do the same by introducing new generations of watchers to the dangerously hot and alluring world of anime vampires. For some online users, she is anticipated to be the most popular new waifu from Summer 2022, a season that is otherwise marked with stacked sequels, likely due to its visually striking artstyle and for being directed by the same man who helmed Bakemonogatari.
