Overview

MARS RED takes place in 1923, and vampires have existed for quite a while. But now, the number of vampires is increasing and a mysterious, artificial blood source called Ascra has appeared. The Japanese government, in turn, creates “Code Zero,” a unit within the army tasked with taking down the vampiric forces. And what better way to track vampires than by using vampires? Created by Lieutenant General Nakajima, this unit has historically been in the business of information war, but has been re-assigned to solve the vampire crisis. It's up to Code Zero and the S-class vampire Deffrot to investigate this increase and put a stop to it before society crumbles.

Synopsis 日本語

近代化が進み、大正ロマン只中にある日本の帝都、東京。華やぐ帝都の裏では、なんらかの出来事で普通の人間として生きられない「ヴァンパイア」になってしまった者たちが隠れて生活していた。致命的な問題を抱え持ちながら、同時に強靭な力も持つ彼らに政府は注目。後天的にヴァンパイアとなった軍属の男性4人に着目し、少数で多大な成果を出すことを目的とした陸軍金剛鉄兵計画が動き出す。表向きは殉職扱いとなった4人は、発足した第十六特務隊、通称「零機関」の実働部隊員となる中、弱点となる苦手な太陽光、強い匂いなどの欠点を、大正時代の技術力で補いながら、帝都で起こる怪事件に関する特殊任務にあたる。
