“Live in the night until the day gets better”

Manga Reco Presents: Call of the Night

By: Dan Rivera

Having decided to skip school, Yamori Kou steps out of his house to wander the night in hopes of easing his insomnia. Free from the confines of school and the facade he’s maintained during the day, he begins to feel a sense of relief.

On one such fateful night, he meets a strange girl named Nanakusa Nazuna. They strike up a conversation, and she gives him a glimpse of what nighttime has to offer.

Art: 4/5

If you’ve read or watched Dagashi Kashi, the art style will feel familiar. Call of the Night is by the same mangaka, Kotoyama-sensei. While the backgrounds are often minimalistic, the character designs are full of personality and detail, making them the visual highlight of the series.

Story: 3/5

The narrative centers on the chemistry between Kou and Nazuna. Without diving into spoilers, Kou must fall in love with Nazuna in order to become a vampire. While the premise gives away much of the plot’s direction, it’s the execution, and the emotional beats that might charm readers.

Characters: 3/5

The story unfolds largely from Kou’s perspective, exploring his internal conflicts and his perception of nighttime freedom. However, considering Kou is a minor, the romanticized view of nightlife may not be the most ideal or realistic portrayal.

Overall: 3/5

If you’re into romance, vampires, and the allure of the night, this manga is worth checking out. It tackles themes like love, loneliness, and insomnia. The series is complete, offering around 200 chapters for those looking to dive in.
