Bloody Mary, Vol. 1 -- Akaza Samamiya, Paperback

A blood-pounding tale of an unorthodox alliance between a vampire and an exorcist!

"Bloody" Mary, a vampire with a death wish, has spent the past 400 years chasing down a modern-day exorcist named Maria who is thought to have inherited "The Blood of Maria" and is the only one who can kill Mary. To Mary's dismay, Maria doesn't know how to kill vampires. Desperate to die, Mary agrees to become Maria's bodyguard until Maria can find a way to kill him.

"Bloody" Mary is not your typical vampire. He can withstand sunlight, holds a reflection in mirrors, refuses to drink blood--and wants 17-year-old student and priest Maria to kill him. But to Mary's dismay, Maria doesn't know how to kill vampires. Desperate to die, Mary agrees to become Maria's bodyguard until Maria can find a way to kill him at last.
