Kizumonogatari -Koyomi Vamp- centers around a high school student named Koyomi Araragi, who survives an encounter with a gorgeous yet helpless vampire, Kiss-shot Acerola-Orion Heart-under-blade. It was one fateful evening when Koyomi Araragi encountered her – Kiss-shot Acerola-Orion Heart-under-blade: Legendary Vampire, Killer of Apparitions, and King of Apparitions.
