The Case Study of Vanitas - S01

Vanitas and Noé Archiviste set out for the town of Gévaudan to hunt the "Beast," a massive wolf-like creature that has killed hundreds of people. Suspecting the Beast is a vampire carrying a curse, Vanitas mainly wants to heal it using the power of his grimoire. On the way, the two are separated and suddenly thrown back into the past, to the very moment the Beast is stalking the woods. After a fight with the giant wolf and a vampire hunter, Vanitas decides to join forces with Jeanne to find Noé. Even though they are allies, Jeanne's goal is the opposite of Vanitas', since she has been ordered to kill the Beast, which she suspects might be someone she once knew. Meanwhile, a badly wounded Noé is taken in by the mysterious Chloé d'Apchier and her servant. Like Noé, Chloé is a vampire whose existence has been erased from public knowledge. She has served as a guardian for future generations and once tried to find a way to become human again. Noé is grateful to Chloé for her kindness, but he has no idea that she may be working with forces far more dangerous than the Beast itself.
