Vampire Noé meets human Vanitas, who claims to use the titular book to cure vampires.
THE CASE STUDY OF VANITAS
QUICK TAKE
The Case Study of Vanitas wraps its vampire mystery in a richly theatrical Paris. Noé seeks the Book of Vanitas, while the human Vanitas claims he can cure vampires affected by it. The premise gives the duo an engaging push-pull; ornate world-building and dramatic turns are the draw, though the series leaves larger questions beyond Season 1.

A BOOK THAT CHANGES VAMPIRES
In nineteenth-century France, vampire Noé travels to Paris in search of the Book of Vanitas. Aboard an airship he meets Vanitas, a human who claims expertise in vampires and possesses the book. This review covers the first season only, not later manga developments.
GOTHIC STYLE AND AN UNEASY ALLIANCE
Noé’s sincerity and Vanitas’s theatrical confidence make a strong central contrast. The episodic cases reveal more about the book’s power and the society built around vampires, while the visual design keeps the adventure lush and moody. Some exposition arrives quickly and the story’s secrets remain open-ended, but the shifting trust between the leads keeps the mystery personal.
VERDICT
A stylish supernatural mystery with an engaging central duo and an atmospheric setting. Season 1 works as an introduction to its world rather than a complete resolution, and its mature content deserves attention.
Crunchyroll marks it as not recommended for minors under 14 and lists violence, sexualized imagery, smoking, and drug/alcohol use. The linked Blu-ray is Season 1 Part 2 only.
