Record Of A Fallen Vampire Returns With New Series In Shonen Gangan
The October issue of Square Enix's Shonen Gangan announced on Thursday that Kyo Shirodaira and Yuri Kimura's The Record of a Fallen Vampire will get a new series, Vampire Jujikai: Inu ni wa Inu no Uta, in the magazine's next issue on October 9.

Why it matters
The franchise's original run ended in 2007 and its English edition shipped its ninth volume in 2010, so the October 9 issue is where Square Enix tests whether a 19-year-old vampire saga still has a magazine audience.
The magazine also teases an important announcement about the series in that same issue.
The original manga ran in Shonen Gangan from December 2003, and Square Enix shipped its ninth compiled volume in April 2007. Viz Media published the English edition starting in May 2008, with the ninth volume arriving in May 2010. Manga UP! Global currently publishes the original in English digitally.
Shirodaira is also the author behind In/Spectre, the Kodansha manga drawn by Chasiba Katase that ran from 2015 and inspired a television anime in 2020 and a second season in 2023. The new vampire series carries the same author and artist pairing as the original.
