The year is Taisho 12, and these people appear at night in Tokyo.
They are called vampires who hide in the darkness and drink human blood, and have been hiding in this world since ancient times. The 16th Special Forces Group, commonly known as the "Zero Agency," was established within the army to control them.
Lieutenant General Nakajima created this unit to counter the information warfare of the rapidly modernizing powers, but at present, the Zero Agency's mission is to deal with the vampire incidents that lurk in the darkness of Tokyo. The person assigned to this task is--,

Hidetaro Kurisu, one of the most powerful vampires in Japan and a newcomer to the force.
Tokuichi Yamagami, an intelligent unranked man.
Swa, who has been a vampire since the old days of Edo.
Takeuchi, a mad scientist who rejoices in a brain that never ages.
--These are the men and women of the Zero Organization's execution team.
The number of vampires continues to increase. And behind the scenes, there are shadows and the existence of the mysterious artificial blood, Ascra.
The one who stares coldly at this situation is the S-class vampire Deflotto, who looks like a child even though he is over 300 years old.
Weak one, thy name is Vampire.
The Zero Organization now runs through the night of Taisho Romance.
